Detailed Description

A two-pass effect to reduce background noise.

The first pass is done over just noise. For each windowed sample of the sound, we take a FFT and then statistics are tabulated for each frequency band.

During the noise reduction phase, we start by setting a gain control for each frequency band such that if the sound has exceeded the previously-determined threshold, the gain is set to 0 dB, otherwise the gain is set lower (e.g. -18 dB), to suppress the noise. Then time-smoothing is applied so that the gain for each frequency band moves slowly, and then frequency-smoothing is applied so that a single frequency is never suppressed or boosted in isolation. Lookahead is employed; this effect is not designed for real-time but if it were, there would be a significant delay.

The gain controls are applied to the complex FFT of the signal, and then the inverse FFT is applied. A Hann window may be applied (depending on the advanced window types setting), and then the output signal is then pieced together using overlap/add.

An override still here for historical reasons, ignoring the factory and the access

We would like to make this effect behave more like others, but it does have its unusual two-pass nature. First choose and analyze an example of noise, then apply noise reduction to another selection. That is difficult to fit into the framework for managing settings of other effects.
