Auto-Tune SoundSoap: Antares brings back easy audio repair
Antares released a new version of Auto-Tune SoundSoap, an audio restoration tool which began in 2002. Its aim is making it easier to restore and enhance problematic recordings.
Antares Auto-Tune SoundSoap
There are many reasons why recordings don’t always sound like you want them to. Errors creep in but you need results. A tool like Auto-Tune SoundSoap can help with that. Audio restoration software is typically complicated and heavily reliant on spectral editing, which is a bit of a discipline in itself. Auto-Tune SoundSoap takes a different approach, streamlining the workflow with a choice few sliders and buttons. Its simplicity is not to be under-estimated as there’s powerful technology under the hood.
The available audio cleanup and restoration tools include De-rumble, which removes excess low frequencies; De-click and de-clip to remove clicks, pops, and clipping distortion; two De-noisers – one for speech and vocals, one spectral; a De-esser, which is all new. Lastly, the Enhancer polishes things up as a finishing touch.
SoundSoap is an audio repair classic and its re-incarnation will surely appeal to the users it goes after. However, its availability is limited to the Auto-Tune Unlimited subscription service. Unless you need Auto-Tune or some other Antares products, USD 25 per month is too much to pay just for a lightweight audio clean-up tool.
Price and availability
SoundSoap is an Auto-Tune Unlimited subscription exclusive. The service is priced USD 25 per month or USD 175 per year. You can also purchase a subscription from our affiliate partner Thomann and help support Gearnews.

Pity it’s subscription only. I’ve used SoundSoap since the beginning, long before Antares bought it, and it’s a great little tool for quick and easy audiio clean up. I’ve also used other Antares tools for years, but I will not be forced into the subscription model.
