You can read about the research here: https://tape.it/research/denoiser Short version: we combined a classic DSP denoiser with a neural network that controls it. Training this it…

In plain words

Tape It offers a free web-based noise reduction tool that removes stationary background sounds like fan noise and amplifier hum from audio files.

From the sources

Remove background noise from audio with studio quality results. AI-powered denoiser available as a standalone app and VST3/AU/AAX plugins for Mac and Windows.

Every copy of Denoiser includes the VST3 / AU / AAX plugins and the standalone app. Run Denoiser directly in your DAW with the VST3, AU, and AAX plugins. Use it whenever you need to get rid of noise - usually as the first plugin in your plugin chain, but sometimes even behind amp simulations or other noisy bad boys. Choose an audio file and let Denoiser remove the background noise, without introducing unwanted artefacts. You can adjust the strength if you want, but the default setting is usually right. It doesn't get any easier than this. Tape It Denoiser is not a normal AI denoiser. A machine learning model listens to the audio and detects the noise profile, and a multi-band expander…from tape.it

    Hi HN, Last time I showed free-music-demixer, which people seemed to enjoy. It was a static website with a Javascript + WASM module to perform music demixing (or music source separation) using an AI model UMX-L (Open-Unmix) running client-side in the browser. Since then, I have overhauled the project and made several improvements: - The demixing/separation quality is higher now, since I implemented the missing post-processing step - Memory usage is lower now by performing a custom segmented inference with a streaming LSTM, which should allow larger tracks (or, dare I say,…
