What Algorithmix Sound Laundry is
Algorithmix Sound Laundry is a Windows software suite for cleaning and mastering noisy or scratchy recordings, including material from records and cassettes. The modules are available individually, so users can start with selected tools and add others later. The classic bundle contains DeScratcher, DeNoiser, Analyzer, High/LowCut Filter, DC-Removal, and SignalControl; the advanced bundle adds PEQclassic, DeRumble, and AlgoSpec. DeScratcher offers profiles for vinyl, shellac records, and digital clicks. DeNoiser can take a noise print from a selected AlgoPlayer block and display it graphically. AlgoPlayer also supports waveform viewing, block processing, wave-file import and export, cutting, and splitting at the cursor. The PlugIn Station has ten slots, preset management, meters, and a wave recorder with timer and threshold settings; recording supports sampling rates up to 96 kHz. The stated minimum requirements include an older Windows-compatible PC, a 16-bit 44.1 kHz stereo sound card, and 10 MB of disk space. Sound Laundry is paid, with online ordering; the maker lists discounts of up to 30% for the complete classic or advanced suite.
