Prosoniq is proud to announce the world`s first realtime Vuvuzela filtering plug in based on sonicWORX` audio de-mixing technology.
VuvuX plug-in does not use a parametric EQ or notch filter to remove the noise.
VuvuX is a free Apple AudioUnit plug in that suppresses the noise created by the South African trumpet called "Vuvuzela" in realtime without affecting the audio commentary or the stadium atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy a noise-free World Cup 2010.
There are two ways to filter out the Vuvuzela noise: You can use a finely tuned notch filter or a parametric equalizer that zaps one or more of the frequency ranges that the Vuvuzela hum occupies. The problem with this is that the Vuvuzela hum fluctuates, and that the frequencies of the audio commentary overlap with the zapped frequencies. As a result, you get a tinny sound that is almost as annoying as the original Vuvuzela sound.
Obviously, the notch filter solution cannot be used in practice as it affects the resulting overall sound and commentary quality too much.
VuvuX is different. The process used in VuvuX has been developed to distinguish between voice, Vuvuzela hum and background noise by applying pattern detection and tracking.
VuvuX is based on technology used in our novel audio de-mixing application sonicWORX Isolate. With sonicWORX you can remove or isolate voice from an entire song, leaving you with the lead vocals or the playback.
