The z noise Black Friday deal from Waves takes 69% off this audio restoration plugin, which brings it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
Z-Noise is a noise reduction plugin built for musical material. Waves says its transient preservation technology strips noise while keeping the audio's sonic integrity intact.
It targets mic preamp hiss, hum, computer noise picked up by instruments, and noise on masters. The maker calls it the one-stop option for improving sonic purity.
It works with a noise profile. If you can't isolate a section of audio that contains only the noise, Z-Noise can still extract a profile from the material itself.
An Adaptive mode handles noise that changes. It keeps reducing noise over time even when the profile shifts partway through a take.
The pre-emphasis/de-emphasis stage is how Waves keeps transients from smearing. Drum hits and pick attacks keep their edge while the noise comes down.
The 5-band EQ lets you shape the noise profile with precision, so the reduction lands where the noise actually lives. You can also choose whether the reduction favours time or frequency resolution.
Monitoring what's being removed makes tweaking simpler. You hear the noise you're pulling out, so you can back off before the music starts going with it.
Waves lists it as ideal for reducing guitar noise before high-gain amps. Clean the DI first and the amp sim has less hiss to amplify.
The maker also says it is superb at retaining dynamics and low frequency accuracy, so the low end and the dynamic range of the source stay intact after processing.
