BIAS Soundsoap is a bit fiddly to set up due to the online registration, but apart from this minor inconvenience it is a superb bit of software. To remove hum, clicks and rumble from tapes and records, or general background noise such as fans, coolers etc from live recordings, I previously used a range of different filters and EQ settings. This was time consuming and if overdone resulted in a lifeless sound. SoundSoap makes this task extremely easy and gives a clean result with no loss in quality.
This is the best, and easiest to use software I have found for cleaning up audio recordings and I love it.

Gets rid of all noise where possible. Just as good as the most expensive audio software at what it does, and requires no learning curve. Dead easy. Dead good.

Groooovy Magic
15 Jun 2005
Holy cow. I've used other filters to clean music, and for this price, I expected a "decent" job. SoundSoap 2 delivered awesome results with the most simple operation--the Learn Noise button. I'm a multi-track artist and had transferred old "open-reel" recordings to minidisc and then CD, in order to archive them. I was not happy with the hiss from older recordings when converting to MP3s. SoundSoap brought these recordings back to life-virtually eliminating the hiss and noise! It even made them "sparkle." And the less I messed with the settings, the better it came out. Downside is that it can't directly save MP3s, but no biggie--use Audacity (free on the Web) or iTunes to then convert your files. Nice job, Bias!

As if by magic!
13 Mar 2006
What a great product! I have nothing but good things to say about Soundsoap. I use it to clean audio from interviews done with my digital recorder, and it does an amazing job! Copy the audio out of whatever you use to edit, import (.aif, .mp3, .wav, .mp4, .mov, .whatever), use the learn sound, and then tweek away at the knobs. You should be able to get good results in about 3 minutes. The "learn sound" function is key - and it helps to isolate 2-3 seconds of the sound in a seperate file, import it, learn it, save the settings, and then import the entire file you want to "soap". Great results and I've had no trouble saving as .aif and .wav.
Why not 5 stars? It's key that you use this product with other audio software (not as a plug-in necessarily, but so you can bump volume, isolate good sounds to learn, etc.) and the knobs and sliders give the software a sort of black-box feel - you're never really sure how it works. Finally, the instruction book is a .pdf file, which some people find convenient, but I find it a pain.
Again, I've used this for interviews with outdoor ambient noise (leaves rustling, water burbling) and with AC units, lights, refrigerators, fans, etc. running in the background. Don't expect this to take out certain voices, or interuptions in the background - it won't happen. It has to be constant, "broadband" noise.

Spectacular!
3 Nov 2006
I have large LP collection consisting of several hundred classical albums that have been sitting in my garage collecting dust for years. I finally decided that I should try and see if I could covert them to digital and spent several weeks playing around with a variety of different hardware configurations and software programs. Needless to say, I wasn't entirely happy with the results. As a last resort, I had read some good reviews about Sound Soap (but was still skeptical) and decided to make one last effort to convert my LPs using it. To put it mildly, I have been absolutely AMAZED at the results I'm now able to obtain with Sound Soap.
Sound Soap is incredibly simple to use and performs magic on most LPs. While some noise can't be completely eliminated and I also have to put some minor finishing touches on my audio files using other programs after they've been processed using Sound Soap, I am certain that I wouldn't be able to obtain the spectacular results I'm now getting without it. This is one of the few software programs I've come across that I can recommend without any reservations.
