Trey LaCroix Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Now that the SD Noise Assist and Cedar plug-in have been available for a while, which one do people like more and why? And yes, I’m aware the best noise reduction is no noise reduction, but for live and super fast turn around projects I’ve found it rather helpful when used conservatively.

JoshuaT Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I use the SD NR and it does fine work at -3dB. I’ve read that people who got cedar didn’t feel that the cost to performance ratio was worth it even though it was able to remove more/other background sounds better than SD NR.

Jobo Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I have both. I didn’t have to “purchase” both. I also have used the DNS 2 frequently. I also work in the quick turn, deadline driven workflows. IMO there are very subtle differences between the cedar and SD plug-ins. The cedar has the better algorithm & offers slightly more clarity, especially when pushed stronger into more NR. To be fair the SD noise assist also does a good job cleaning up HVAC and genny rumble. In light use, you likely won’t notice too much difference between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
