LANDR ReHance vs Perfect Declipper

LANDR ReHance uses AI to analyze audio and remove unwanted artifacts such as background noise, clicks, pops, plosives, bleed and reverb. It is available in the LANDR Library online or as a plugin for a DAW, and LANDR says enhancement is unlimited in either format. Three intensity levels provide a choice of processing strength. The tool is described for podcasts, voice memos, field and home studio recordings, video audio and live recordings with instrument bleed. The plugin supports VST3, AU and AAX formats and works with major DAWs that support them. It requires macOS 10.15 or later or 64-bit Windows 10 or later, plus an Intel Core i5, AMD Ryzen 5 or Apple Silicon equivalent and 4 GB RAM. LANDR says the audio technology is powered by Insoundz. ReHance is not available in the LANDR App, though LANDR says it can be used in mobile browsers. A LANDR Studio subscription is required; the listed annual-plan price for a subscription including ReHance is $11.99 a month. A 3-day trial is offered for any Studio tier, and the subscription starts automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends.

Perfect Declipper is a Windows audio-repair plugin for recordings damaged by excessive loudness and clipping. It calculates missing clipped information from the data that remains, and can restore clipped audio and some dynamics. Thimeo says results can in many cases be indistinguishable from an unclipped original, while also explaining that lost data makes perfect reconstruction impossible and that several reconstructions may be equally good. Windows downloads include VST2, VST3, and Winamp/DSP plugins. Listed hosts and applications include Adobe Audition, Audacity, Cubase, Cakewalk Sonar, FL Studio, PlayoutONE, Winamp, RadioBOSS, and AIMP. The Windows build is listed for Windows XP SP3, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. A Perfect Declipper plan costs €100 as a one-time purchase, with an optional Delossifier add-on for €130. Licenses last for life and include updates, though new features may cost extra.
