[microsound] software to 'clean' sound

Thu Jul 16 20:29:04 EDT 2009

Depending on the sound material, you can either use High Pass or Low Pass
Filters, you can also use a Noise Gate if there's some considerable distance
between noise and sound, or you can use an Expander before using the Gate to
create that distance. They are all plugins in the most common audio
programs.
