Pop, Click, Hum, Rumble and Broadband noise reduction
Ray Gun Pro is the next generation in audio restoration for OS X. Like Ray Gun, Ray Gun Pro is built for cleaning up scratchy vinyl, tape hiss, noisy dialog, HVAC noise, and any track with poor sonic quality. However, Ray Gun Pro adds extensive control over individual parameters for more demanding applications. Converting vinyl collections to CD-R, removing the nastiest pops, clicks and scratches. Combining sophisticated pop and click detection with complex spectral analysis, downward expansion, notch filtering and an intelligent "search" function.
Cleans up noisy dialog, narration or telephone recordings
Eliminates camera sound and HVAC noise from video/film soundtracks

This is a powerful tool for removing noise from recorded sound, but its potential appeal is severly limited by the fact that it has to be run from within HyperEngine-AV. Whatever its other merits, HyperEngine-AV is a profoundly useless sound editor. Its waveform displays are as sharp and clearly defined as a ball of wool that's been played with by half a dozen hyperactive cats, and too small to work with comfortably, even at maximum vertical zoom. Controls are limited and unintuitive, and the whole experience of using RayGun Pro is made about as rewarding as trying to sail a 50ft yacht in a swimming pool.
If RayGun Pro was a plug-in that could work with a proper sound editor it might have attracted more than 38 downloads over the past 14 months, and I would be ladling it with stars. Instead, it's been tied to an editing environment that makes it awkward to use and fiddly to find (amidst the 50 or so 'demo' plugins that are a permanent feature of the Audio Effects submenu). It deserves better.
