Combining sophisticated pop and click detection with complex spectral analysis, downward expansion, notch filtering and an intelligent "search" function.

Very nice, but does it control anoying pitch fluctuations? - Version: 1.0, 9/30/2007 11:18PM PST

alchsa

This is all very exiting but my main concern here is the pitch fluctuations, an evident chracteristic of vinil playback which is a both evidet and at times a clearly audiable dead give away that the origin of the piece is from a vinil medium such that would frighten and scare anyone under the age of 40, you know, the crapy result from the needle swaing back and forth from the center of the vinil disc which varies depending on how good a job the manufacturer did at getting that hole dead center! such fluctuations which are only worsened if the record is even the slightest warped (or wobbly). Any consideration given to that? Is there any software that will correct the pitch so as to lock it dead on like cd's render?

Just a thought.

Does Ray gun do this?

I want to know before I even bother.

Thanks

Alkie.

Needs To Escape From HyperEngine-AV Purgatory - Version: 1.0, 7/14/2004 06:46AM PST

Mr Tea

This is a powerful tool for removing noise from recorded sound, but its potential appeal is severly limited by the fact that it has to be run from within HyperEngine-AV. Whatever its other merits, HyperEngine-AV is a profoundly useless sound editor. Its waveform displays are as sharp and clearly defined as a ball of wool that's been played with by half a dozen hyperactive cats, and too small to work with comfortably, even at maximum vertical zoom. Controls are limited and unintuitive, and the whole experience of using RayGun Pro is made about as rewarding as trying to sail a 50ft yacht in a swimming pool.

If RayGun Pro was a plug-in that could work with a proper sound editor it might have attracted more than 38 downloads over the past 14 months, and I would be ladling it with stars. Instead, it's been tied to an editing environment that makes it awkward to use and fiddly to find (amidst the 50 or so 'demo' plugins that are a permanent feature of the Audio Effects submenu). It deserves better.
