W43 Noise Reduction Plugin
Ambient noise: Hiss. Hum. Traffic. Wind. Air conditioning. They can all wreak havoc on dialog tracks. With Waves W43, they’re a thing of the past.

Inspired by the renowned CAT43, the W43 noise reduction plugin builds upon the legacy of the popular unit that’s been a post production favorite for decades. With four fixed frequency bands, the W43 is an affordable, easy-to-use plugin which delivers high quality, minimal artifact noise reduction like the original hardware, while adding all the advantages of software.

Working post professionals know you can never have too many noise suppression tools, since different technologies excel at different tasks. With the W43 in your tool set, you’ll be ready for any noisy dialog that comes your way.
