Working in conjunction with a major television broadcaster, Waves crafted a real-time processing chain consisting of two plug-ins which proved effective in solving the task at hand: The WNS Waves Noise Suppressor and the Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer. These two audio plug-ins together not only reduce the Vuvuzela noise, they increase the intelligibility of the game announcers' play-by-play action and colour commentary, claims the company. In fact, the processing chain is already being used by several major broadcast outlets.
The processing chain for Vuvuzela noise reduction is now available as load-and-use sessions for Pro Tools, Waves MultiRack, and Cubase.
