The x crackle Black Friday deal puts 76% off Waves X-Crackle, a restoration plugin that clears clicks and pops from digitized vinyl and other flawed recordings, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
X-Crackle targets the subtle crackles and pops left on damaged vinyl and old recordings. Once its parameters are dialed in, it reduces surface noise automatically.
The maker says its psycho-acoustic noise reduction algorithms leave the rest of the audio untouched.
The dual-window X-Crackle Scope shows the original waveform next to a sonogram of the crackles being reduced. That makes it easier to see what the plugin is pulling out as you adjust.
The main controls:
On Mac, X-Crackle runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX.
