Turn the Threshold knob down until you see the noise reduction engaging only during the silent parts. You don't want it to trigger while you're playing loud notes.

9/10 (Docked one point for the dated UI, but the sound is a 10). Have you tried Redunoise on your podcast or mix? Let us know your go-to settings in the comments below.

Tired of background noise ruining your takes? We break down Voxengo Redunoise—a surgical noise reduction plugin that preserves transients and tone better than the big-name brands. Let’s be honest: Noise is the enemy of emotion.

Put Redunoise first in your chain to kill the hiss, then hit your compressor. You will be shocked how much cleaner your compression sounds when it isn't trying to pump the noise floor.

Play a few seconds of just the noise floor (where your instrument isn’t playing). Hit the "Learn" button. Redunoise listens and builds a noise profile.

Whether it’s the 60-cycle hum from a single-coil guitar, the air conditioner kicking in during a voiceover, or the tape hiss from a vintage sampler, background noise kills intimacy. You can try EQ, but you’ll just end up gutting the good frequencies along with the bad.
