- Waves X-Noise plug-in was highly acclaimed for its capabilities, but Z-Noise utilizes a newer, more advanced, more 'musical' proprietary algorithm with an exclusive 'Extract' mode which can create a noise profile from sources that contains audio or in Adaptive mode.
- Z-Noise is ideal for background noise such as tape hiss, ground hum, and computer noise, Z-Noise is a true broadband processor which can eliminate high-frequency hiss and low-frequency rumble simultaneously, while preserving the sonic integrity of your source.
- Waves Z-Noise is a single-ended broadband noise reduction audio processor. It very effectively reduces noise while preserving the highest audio quality. Superficially, Z-Noise works like other broadband noise reduction processors which use a noise profile, or noise print, to differentiate valid signal from noise.
- Z-Noise is an in depth noise reduction plug-in that is part of Waves' Audio Restoration bundle of plug-ins. It's pretty similar to the X-Noise plug-in that is also part of the same package, but I like this one a bit more as I find it to be a little cleaner.
Waves originally set the standard for professional audio restoration software with their acclaimed X-Noise plug-in. Waves Z-Noise is a single-ended broadband noise reduction audio processor. It very effectively reduces noise while preserving the highest audio quality.

Sound emission is defined as the sound power,
which is continuously emitted from a sound source.
The total sound energy emitted by a source
per unit time is the sound power

.| All share as level the same unit of measure: the decibel (dB). The term 'soundlevel' is commonly substituted for each. As characteristic impedance of air we use the round value Z = 400 N·s/m³ (Pa·s/m).Then the 'sound level', that is the sound pressure level Lpand the sound intensitylevelLIis exactly the same as a decibel value. The sound power or acoustic power is the sound energy constantly transfered per second from thesound source. A sound source has a given constant sound power that does notchange if it is placed in a different room environment. Sound power is a theoretical value that is not measurable. It is calculated andexpressed in watts and as sound power level LW in decibels. A sound source produces sound power and this generates a sound pressurefluctuation in the air. Sound power is the distance independent cause of this, whereas sound pressure isthe distance-dependent effect. |

Knoxville, TN (January 6, 2006)–Waves will be showing its latest plug-in, Z-Noise, at the upcoming NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. With Z-Noise, Waves believes it's taken noise reduction to a whole new level, having established a standard in sound restoration with its X-Noise plug-in. Z-Noise is not just a more precise version of X-Noise, however, it's based on a brand new algorithm that re-conceptualizes the way noise is treated.
Z-Noise's features include dynamic noise profiling, innovative transient preservation and increased low frequency resolution. Other noise reduction systems are limited by the restrictions of traditional band split methods. These limitations lead to smeared audio images that lack crispness and clarity. Waves Z-NoiseZ-Noise employs a brand new, 'more musical' algorithm, which delivers unparalleled low-frequency resolution and unsurpassed time sensitivity.

Ideal for removing tape hiss, ground hum and computer noise, Z-Noise includes an array of features that make it the most comprehensive noise reduction tool ever. It gives users the power to shape their results with pinpoint accuracy, using a familiar 5-band EQ interface. Real-time operation means audio engineers can fine tune the Z-Noise parameters and hear their changes on the fly.
Plus, it features advanced adjustable transient detection and enhancement which removes noise while retaining all the power and punch of the source recordings. And while other audio restoration methods require an isolated noise sample to deliver optimal results, Z-Noise features an exclusive Extract mode, which eliminates that need, as well as an innovative Adaptive mode which specializes in reducing noise that changes over time.
