Wave Arts Master Restoration Suite 6 is a collection of audio plug-ins for cleaning up tape, vinyl, digital, and acoustic recordings. The suite includes MR Noise 6 for broadband noise reduction, MR Hum 6 for removing hum and buzz, MR Click 6 for filtering clicks and crackle, MR Gate 6 for attenuating background noise during quiet sections, and the all-in-one MasterRestoration 6 plug-in. MR Hum also includes brickwall filtering and high-resolution spectrum analysis. The plug-ins run within compatible audio production or editing software; they are not standalone applications. Wave Arts lists Logic, Cubase, WaveLab, Premiere, and Audition among compatible applications at the suite’s release. The suite is available for macOS and Windows in the listed AU, VST3, and AAX formats on macOS, and VST2, VST3, and AAX formats on Windows. Apple Silicon is natively supported in AU, VST3, and AAX. The listed price is 99.00 USD per once, and the fully functional demo runs for 30 days. Licensing is available through Wave Arts or iLok. With Wave Arts licensing, the plug-in can be registered on up to three Mac or Windows machines; version 6 iLok licenses provide one activation per license.
