Sound Soap is the first professional-quality noise reduction solution that's also easy enough for average consumers to use effectively. By adjusting just two knobs, anyone can remove unwanted hiss, room noise, rumble, electrical hum, and other background noise from almost any digital media file - including digital video (DV) soundtracks, PowerPoint and other presentation software soundtracks, Flash and other web-tool soundtracks, digital audio workstation tracks, cassette or other analog tape recordings that have been transferred to a computer, and other sources. "We are very excited to bring Sound Soap to market," said Steve Berkley, CEO and President of BIAS. "Customers have been asking us for a powerful yet easy-to use noise reduction solution for their digital video and audio projects. We feel confident that we're delivering an innovative solution that looks great; that's easier to use than any other similar product; and most importantly, sounds amazing. We're also excited that Sound Soap is now our second product designed for both Macintosh and Windows computing platforms."
Wash it Off With the enormous success of MiniDV and other DV camcorders - and affordable computer-based video editing applications like iMovie, Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and Windows MovieMaker - millions of people are now creating their own movies and video projects, start to finish. Similarly, many web producers, multimedia developers, and business professionals regularly add narration or other audio to their projects, using Flash, PowerPoint, or other programs. And countless musicians and audio enthusiasts use computers to make their own music recordings.
