(November 14, 2006) — Just days after the official launch of Cube-Tec’s RTAS restoration plug-ins for Pro Tools, the company announced the addition of AudioSuite versions and released reviews from two of the facilities that have already installed the world class restoration VPI’s (Virtual Precision Instruments) for Pro Tools.

Although dozens of prestigious companies such as Ascent Media and Universal Studios have been using Cube-Tec VPI’s on the AudioCube platform for years, the fact that facilities actually purchased and installed the Pro Tools versions while they were still in beta speaks volumes about their value to Pro Tools-based facilities.

“We installed Cube-Tec VPI’s on our Pro Tools|HD system and I can summarize my opinion of them in one sentence: They’re the best thing to happen to noise reduction since the CAT 43.”
— Richard Spence-Thomas, Spence Thomas Audio Post (Toronto, ON)

“As engineer for the Grateful Dead, I use several noise reduction plug-ins to deal with the problems of older analog masters. Recently, I had a particularly difficult problem to solve...drum tracks recorded 20 db down in the mud. I was given a demo of SpectralDeHiss Expert for Pro Tools by Jeff Briss at Cutting Edge Audio. After I received a brief overview of operation, I was able to remove more hiss and leave more ambiance than I could with any of my other noise removal systems. I now turn to SpectralDeHiss regularly when I have a severe hiss problem.” — Jeffrey Norman, Garage Audio (Petaluma, CA)

“At Buttons Sound we specialize in audio post for television, radio and film — including HDTV and 5.1 cinema mixing, so we encounter a wide variety of noise problems and are expected to provide solutions. A recent thirty episode TV project for a major production company presented us with some very challenging RF mic noise problems. After trying everything in our extensive arsenal of Pro Tools plug-ins, we turned to Cube-Tec's DeBuzz which we had recently purchased. It not only completely removed the RF noise — it did so without artifacts and without sucking the life out of the track. We then utilized Cube-Tec's SpectralDeHiss tool to remove ambient noise from outdoor scenes with equal success.” — Rich Macar, Buttons Sound (New York, NY)
