Amazing FREE Denoiser in REAPER

Let me introduce you to one of the best denoisers I've ever tried. The fact that it's free plugin that comes with REAPER blows my mind 🤯

The plugin name is ReaFIR, and I use it all the time to remove noise from my voiceovers, acoustic instruments, and even noisy guitars. It’s the perfect tool to remove any hum/hiss from recordings, while still sounding pretty natural.

How it works

Using ReaFIR is pretty simple. Here's how you can use it to denoise your audio:

1. Load ReaFIR on the track with the item you want to denoise and set it to “Substract mode”.
2. Find and make a time selection of a part of the clip where you hear only noise. For example, if it's a voiceover, select only the ambient sound.
3. Play that part on loop and click the button that says “Automatically build noise profile” in ReaFIR.
4. Let it loop a few times, and then uncheck the button from the step before. This will create a profile of your noise.

Done! Your audio should be super clean now.

TIP: To reduce the intensity, hold Ctrl/Cmd as you drag up and down the noise profile. You can also hold Alt/Opt to tweak the noise profile graph.

Hear the difference

I put together some before and after clips with ReaFIR denoising on and off. I tried it on electric guitar, acoustic guitar and voiceover.

That's it!

I even have super expensive and fancy denoisers in my arsenal, but this one just does a better job a lot of the time. If you're looking for a free and efficient denoiser, I highly recommend giving ReaFIR a try.
