1.2 Product Overview
The WNS Waves Noise Suppressor was designed and engineered for Post
Production professionals who require fast and effective broadband noise
suppression for the cleaning of dialog tracks. It is suitable for both indoor and
location recordings of dialog polluted by stationary and/or modulating
environment noise.
WNS is not intended for surgical removal of specific short term interferences.
It is, rather, a general noise suppressor that will preserve the dialog and
suppress unwanted signal simply and smoothly, with natural sound and
minimal artifacts.
About Waves Post Production Tools
When Waves decided to develop a line of dedicated audio processors
especially for Post Production, we conferred with the people who truly
understand the field better than anyone: The Post professionals who design,
edit, and mix sound for motion pictures, television, multimedia, and video
games.
Waves knows that Post Production work presents audio engineers with
specialized challenges. Once we had identified and analyzed these issues and
concerns, we set out to create the most advanced, most innovative Post
Production sound solutions available.
Waves is proud to bring more than two decades of audio processing expertise
to the world of Post Production.
