Spec score 7.1 #18 of 24 in Audio Restoration Software

What it is

Wave Corrector records analogue music, reduces noise, and converts recordings to digital audio. Its processing can remove surface sounds such as clicks, ticks, and plops, with a separate hiss-removal option for tape. Users can record directly or set unattended recordings, including radio broadcasts. The software can split recordings into numbered tracks automatically, then lets users adjust boundaries and add fades. The Professional Edition adds filters, a graphic equaliser, volume normalisation, channel balance, and Cut and Splice tools. Version 3.9 has built-in MP3 encoding and uses Discogs track durations to guide and validate track detection; it can obtain durations from MusicBrainz if Discogs has none. Noise reduction, hum removal, and batch processing are also listed. Wave Corrector runs on Linux and Windows and is intended for home music lovers and professional archivists. The personal-use Professional Edition costs nothing, with no registration required. The download page offers 32-bit and 64-bit Professional Edition 3.9 installers; the Standard Edition is no longer available.
