Following Mackie's decision to cease support for the Soundscape brand, and the subsequent reacquisition of Soundscape by its original developers, Sydec Audio Engineering NV, CEDAR and Sydec have agreed to continue production and supply of the CEDAR for Soundscape audio restoration processes.

Unlike CEDAR's arrangements with the defunct Soundscape Digital Technology and Mackie, CEDAR Audio will now be responsible for marketing and supplying the Soundscape restoration processes. This means that, for the first time, the company will be able to involve its specialised network of dealers trained in selling and supporting audio restoration and noise suppression products.

Declick for Soundscape

Designed as a plug-in to run on Soundscape and REd systems, Declick for Soundscape combines two radically different declickers in a single, cost-effective package.

auto declick

restores most material, removing the vast majority of clicks from any audio signal. It does this automatically, identifying the damage, removing it, and filling the gap with the best possible estimate of the signal that existed before the click occurred.

manual declick

eliminates longer clicks and scratches by allowing the user to identify the audio that constitutes the click, and then applying a restoration algorithm that is optimised for these problems.

Auto Dehiss for Soundscape

Designed as a plug-in to run on Soundscape editors and REd systems, but also able to work on Mixtreme cards, Auto dehiss for Soundscape is a descendent of CEDAR's award-winning DH-1, DH-2 and DHX rackmount dehissers. It addresses a wide range of broadband noise problems, but remains simple and intuitive in use.



As with all CEDAR processes, the algorithms in Declick and Auto Dehiss differentiate between the unwanted sound and the genuine signal, allowing transparent restoration of even severely damaged material.

CEDAR Declick for Soundscape and CEDAR Dehiss for Soundscape are available immediately, priced in the UK at £1,500 per process, and £2,500 for the set. Customers in other countries should contact their local CEDAR dealers for details of prices and availability.
