Well, I’m starting looking to create a consistent workflow with just free software. Which tool / tools are natural alternatives to Izotope de-noise, de-click, de-crackle, de-click?
There are some stock plugins for Audacity… is it possible to run those .ny files in Ardour?
When I remember correctly, there’s at least a denoiser inside audacity.
EDIT: Sorry, should have read the whole question.
I once used the ReaPlugs from Reaper, which include a FFT Filter that was able to apply noise profiles to filter noise from audio. AFAIK there’s no native linux plugin available, but i read somewhere, that it’s possible to use under Linux (maybe with wine?)
