No that long along audio restoration plug-ins were once the figment of many an audio engineer’s imagination. These days we’re quite spoilt for choice if we find ourselves in desperate need of a plug-in or two to remove hiss, crackle and pop from poorly recorded audio. Not only do we have a lot of choice available to us these days we also have quality and easy of use. Pretty much all the top plug-ins in this category are super easy to use with many designed to produce jaw dropping results with nearly no draw backs in terms of artefacts.

In this roundup we’ve collated all our reviews, tests and free tutorial of audio restoration plug-ins that you can use to compare the differences between all the tools on the market today. There are some previous versions of certain audio restoration products in the list below, we’ve kept these in to demonstrate how far this technology has come of late.
