Sound Devices NoiseAssist for MixPre II
Sound Devices NoiseAssist cuts background noise such as traffic, generators, and HVAC in real time, as a plugin for the MixPre-3 II, MixPre-6 II, and MixPre-10 II.
You set how much background noise to suppress, from 1 to 20 dB with 6 dB as the default. It learns the background noise on its own in 5 to 10 seconds and keeps monitoring it through the take, with 1 ms of latency.
Instances
The plugin is sold with one or two instances. Each instance runs on any one channel, bus L, or bus R, so two instances can treat two channels, both buses, or a channel and a bus. A one-instance license can be upgraded to two for the difference in price.
Good to Know
NoiseAssist needs MixPre II firmware 9.00 or later. The original MixPre-3, MixPre-6, and MixPre-10T lack the hardware to run it, and it cannot run alongside the Musician or Ambisonics plugins.
Sound Devices offers demonstration WAV files to hear before buying. Each license is tied to one recorder’s serial number and cannot be transferred, so include your recorder’s serial number with your order.
