Vinyl & Tape Restoration for Windows & MacOS

Clean up old vinyl and tape recordings with Ray Gun, the noise zapper. Just point, aim and shoot to remove hum, hiss, pops, clicks and other unwanted audio, leaving your original sound intact.

Ray Gun will search-and-destroy noise automatically. Use Ray Gun's simple controls to fine-tune the results, then process your new noise-free file.

Designed especially for audio archiving and restoration, Ray Gun is perfect for the following applications:

* Converting vinyl collections to CD-R, removing the nastiest pops, clicks and scratches
* Cleaning up noisy dialog, narration or telephone recordings
* Eliminating camera sound and HVAC noise from video/film soundtracks
* Filtering out line noise and ground loop hums
* Rescuing problematic, poorly-recorded tracks

Combining sophisticated pop and click detection with complex spectral analysis, downward expansion, notch filtering and an intelligent \"search\" function, Ray Gun is like a sci-fi device: Small, fast, fun to use and packed with devastating technology.

Ray Gun works by itself under Windows 9*/ME/NT/ and MacOS 7.6 or higher, plugs into nearly all the popular sound editing programs for Windows and MacOS, and even works in real-time, processing live audio signals on-the-fly with Power Mac computers.

Using Ray Gun

Intelligent Search Function * Ray Gun finds and eliminates noise, all by itself. Fine-tune the processing using Ray Gun's simple Attenuation, Threshold and Sensitivity controls.

Noise Reduction * Ray Gun uses fast spectral analysis, a downward expansion function and special search-and-destroy noise busting technology to reduce or eliminate broadband noise, including fan sound and tape hiss.

Pop/Click Removal * Ray Gun finds the spikes, clicks and pops in your file, and seamlessly removes them from your audio.

Filtering * Get rid of pesky 60-cycle hum and low-end rumble. For European electrical systems we've also included 50-cycle hum filtering.

Level Correction * If the noise reduction you've selected is so extreme that the overall level is decreased, you can make up for the volume loss at the output stage.

Pro Tools Compatibility * Run Ray Gun as an AudioSuite plug-in for Digidesign Pro Tools software.

Pro Tools LE Compatibility * Ray Gun is now RTAS compatible as well, offering an extra module with low and high EQ boost and a stereo separation control

Avid Compatibility * Ray Gun's AudioSuite edition plugs-in to the Avid Media Composer 7.0 and Avid Xpress 2.0 non-linear video editing systems.
