Key Features:

Powerful Tools and Features! -

• DeHiss Plus™ FFT/AR - Now choose between two methods of spectrum estimation - the nonparametric (FFT) approach and the parametric (AR) approach. Use the Dynamic Noise Reduction option, to control the amount of hiss removal that will be performed, dependent on the volume and frequency content of the audio at any given point
• DeNoise Plus™ FFT/AR - Now choose between two methods of spectrum estimation - the nonparametric (FFT) approach and the parametric (AR) approach. The new Noise Floor parameter lets you set a 'crossover' volume point, above which the adaptive ("dynamic") hiss reduction filter is activated.
• DeClick Plus™ - Remove clicks and pops with more precision using the Frequency Selective Option. Control a cutoff, or crossover, frequency and any audio below this cutoff frequency, selectable in Hertz (Hz), is ignored by the DeClick Plus tool.
• DeVocal™ - allows you to eliminate, or significantly reduce, the lead vocalistâs performance from almost any stereophonic recording.
• Reverb - - allows you to simulate the acoustics of different environments.
• Shift pitch - allows you to change the pitch of a WAVE file recording without modifying its duration.
• Speed up/Slow down - allows you to change the duration of a sound file without altering the pitch.
• Input Volume Control - gives users a quick and easy method for controlling the PC soundcard's recording volume controls, right within the DART XP Pro "Record" window.
• Online Help systems - HTML Help, Tips and Guides make learning and using the software easy.
