Best Audio Noise Reduction Software
I am looking for robust and easy to use noise reduction software. I use FCPX, but I doubt my video editing platform matters – I just want to remove noise from audio tracks and am willing to pay for a good quality plugin or just stand-alone software (preferable). Thanks.

What kind of noise?

A year or two ago, I would have said hands down, iZotope RX Advanced (part of their RX Post Production bundle) was number one. But today a number of new noise reduction apps have appeared. I think I have 5 or 6 total. IMHO, the easiest to use are Waves’ Clarity Vx and Accentize’s dxRevive. They are terrific for cleaning dialogue tracks, basically one-knob solutions. dxRevive is almost magical, as not only does it remove noise, but reintegrates missing frequency components. It deals with broadband noise, clipping, clicks & pop, and reverb. The basic versions cost about $30. There are also Pro versions which have a few more features, and in the case of dxRevive an addition denoise model, but the basic engine is the same. I’ve seen a couple reports that FCP has problems with Clarity Vx, but it works fine for me with Sonoma 14.1.2, MacBook Pro, M2Max, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD.

Hey David,
For many years Izotope has been my go to. Got their “everything suite” last year.
It really depends on what you are looking for?
And although FCPX, Davinci and Adobe PPro are introducing A.I. into audio noise reduction, they all come with their own set of problems.But at half price at £ 47.50 you can not go wrong with the entry level plugin from Izotope:

The complete view of their packages are here:

As said, if it is just noise reduction, Izotope Elements will serve you well – sometimes to a point where you have to drop noise back in to hear a bit of traffic in background etc.
