What it is

Wave Arts Master Restoration Suite 6 is a set of five plug-ins for cleaning up tape, vinyl, digital, and acoustic recordings. MR Noise 6 reduces broadband noise; MR Hum 6 combines hum and buzz removal with brickwall filtering and spectrum analysis; MR Click 6 targets clicks and crackle; and MR Gate 6 attenuates background noise in quiet sections. The fifth plug-in, MasterRestoration 6, provides an all-in-one option. The suite costs $99, paid once and has a fully functional 30-day demo. It runs on macOS 10.13 or later and Windows 7/8/10/11, in AU, VST3, and AAX formats on macOS and VST2, VST3, and AAX on Windows. Apple Silicon is supported natively in the listed Mac formats. These are not standalone applications: they require an audio plug-in host. Mac hosts must be 64-bit; Windows hosts may be 32-bit or 64-bit. Wave Arts or iLok licensing is available.
