What our customer's say!

"The Perfect Product", for cleaning snap, crackle and pops from your recordings. With just minimal adjustments, I was able to remove all of the above from old and battered 33s and 78s that I transfer to CD using my beloved ION TTUSB turntable. These two products are the best money I've ever spent to save my favorite music. Unbeatable!

"Beware of faulty product activation process", This may be a fine product. It appears to do exactly what I need. Unfortunately, I'm not able to launch the application. After buying direct from the Bias website on a Sunday afternoon (could have saved $50 buying form Amazon, but I'm on deadline for a project) I am unable to authorize my legally purchased software. The application crashes during the authorization process. Since the software won't run without authorization, I'm out of luck.

I've contacted tech support and submitted an email authorization request. I received an automatic response warning me that it may be 1 to 2 business days before I hear back from Bias. I might as well have ordered from Amazon.

To be honest, if I had known that SoundSoap used this sort of software authorization scheme I probably wouldn't have purchased the product. This sort of restrictive DRM almost always harms legitimate consumers while doing nothing to stop piracy.





"DISAPPOIINTED", Expensive program with almost no features other than what it says it does. Poor instructions on usage. I have had two months and have yet been unable to successfully utilize.

"SoundSoap 2 a Handy Addition to a DSP Toolkit", The SoundSoap 2 software (running on my older Mac) is a neat tool to go with BIAS's Peak recording software. It works quite well in dealing with my albums (33 rpm records, licorice pizza, stacks o' wax, etc.) and the pops, clicks, and scratches that sometimes came on a brand new vinyl LP. You should take a tour of the BIAS website and watch / listen to the demo they have for SoundSoap. It will do all that, but it is possible to overdo the signal processing and swamp out some of the music content. However, that can be the case with other click repair software too. The best approach I've found is not to try to create a 'master recording' with studio like audio qualities, but instead focus on cleaning up an obnoxious record or cassette.

SS's 'learn noise' feature is dead handy, and the 50/60 cycle buzz remover works great. Best of all is being able to keep your master digital recording (mine done through BIAS Peak LE) and play with the settings in SoundSoap. Too little click removal? Too much removal of crackles and the music suffers? Delete the file and try again. A very easy to use, effective, and affordable tool for the music lover who's facing a stack of wax unplayed for years. I breathed new life into Moody Blues 'Days of Future Passed' and Horst Jankowski's 'Walk in the Black Forest.' Next up, the overplayed and abused vinyl of The Doors. I wonder how that will turn out...?BIAS SoundSoap 2 ( Windows/Macintosh )Bias SoundSoap 2, Hybrid CD Win/MacBIAS SoundSoap 2 ( Windows/Macintosh )

"An interesting tool.", I saw the demo of the program and thought, "That's exactly what I need!". I have been working on the post side of a movie Quest for the Golden Rod for over a year now (...) and due to the actors spreading to the four winds I'm stuck with the audio I got from my Sennheiser MKE-300. Which isn't bad, but not great eithor. I was forced to use it both in doors and outside having little "problems" like airplans, TOO LOUD of a river bank and of course the ever famous electronic hum (fridges). So I crossed my fingers and dropped $90 on this tool, plugged it into Adobe Premeir Pro 2.0 and was amazed that it was VERY simular to the results one would expect from a standard Noise Gate feature. Then I watched the online tutorials and learned the magical way of "learn sound" and that helped. I mean it was kind of remarkable it would remove very specific frequences and would behind only the voice (if you desired it). But here in lies it's flaw. DISTORTION. The more noise removal the quiter the audio gets and the more "canny" (that's how I put it) the voice becomes. Still legable and clear, but very distorted. So if you are doing a documentary then A++ if you are doing a film let's hope the background audio you are trieing to remove isn't too bad. Works best against repetitive back ground noise like humming. Very little distortion there.

"Spectacular!", I have large LP collection consisting of several hundred classical albums that have been sitting in my garage collecting dust for years. I finally decided that I should try and see if I could covert them to digital and spent several weeks playing around with a variety of different hardware configurations and software programs. Needless to say, I wasn't entirely happy with the results. As a last resort, I had read some good reviews about Sound Soap (but was still skeptical) and decided to make one last effort to convert my LPs using it. To put it mildly, I have been absolutely AMAZED at the results I'm now able to obtain with Sound Soap.

Sound Soap is incredibly simple to use and performs magic on most LPs. While some noise can't be completely eliminated and I also have to put some minor finishing touches on my audio files using other programs after they've been processed using Sound Soap, I am certain that I wouldn't be able to obtain the spectacular results I'm now getting without it. This is one of the few software programs I've come across that I can recommend without any reservations.


"As if by magic!", What a great product! I have nothing but good things to say about Soundsoap. I use it to clean audio from interviews done with my digital recorder, and it does an amazing job! Copy the audio out of whatever you use to edit, import (.aif, .mp3, .wav, .mp4, .mov, .whatever), use the learn sound, and then tweek away at the knobs. You should be able to get good results in about 3 minutes. The "learn sound" function is key - and it helps to isolate 2-3 seconds of the sound in a seperate file, import it, learn it, save the settings, and then import the entire file you want to "soap". Great results and I've had no trouble saving as .aif and .wav.
Why not 5 stars? It's key that you use this product with other audio software (not as a plug-in necessarily, but so you can bump volume, isolate good sounds to learn, etc.) and the knobs and sliders give the software a sort of black-box feel - you're never really sure how it works. Finally, the instruction book is a .pdf file, which some people find convenient, but I find it a pain.
Again, I've used this for interviews with outdoor ambient noise (leaves rustling, water burbling) and with AC units, lights, refrigerators, fans, etc. running in the background. Don't expect this to take out certain voices, or interuptions in the background - it won't happen. It has to be constant, "broadband" noise.


"Groooovy Magic", Holy cow. I've used other filters to clean music, and for this price, I expected a "decent" job. SoundSoap 2 delivered awesome results with the most simple operation--the Learn Noise button. I'm a multi-track artist and had transferred old "open-reel" recordings to minidisc and then CD, in order to archive them. I was not happy with the hiss from older recordings when converting to MP3s. SoundSoap brought these recordings back to life-virtually eliminating the hiss and noise! It even made them "sparkle." And the less I messed with the settings, the better it came out. Downside is that it can't directly save MP3s, but no biggie--use Audacity (free on the Web) or iTunes to then convert your files. Nice job, Bias!
