SPLiCE handles clean-up for location recording with a Cedar DNS1000, the Hollywood standard for dynamic noise suppression. The DNS1000 is adept at removing broadband noise - whether traffic, aircraft, the noise inside vehicles, air conditioning, wind, rain and other water noises, the noise from domestic appliances or even excessive reverberation. This noise can render many recordings unusable, and before the DNS1000, the only options were combinations of low-pass filters, gates, dynamic processors and other methods, but the results were almost always a compromise.

Where all of these conventional methods fail, the DNS1000 excels by treating production sound with 24-bit Digital I/O and dual 40-bit f/p DSPs offering better audio quality, control and selectivity. The DNS1000 is so powerful that its 10-sample latency means there is no loss of lip-sync.

The DNS1000 is used in international motion picture mixes on mixing stages like Skywalker Sound & Todd-AO. Its patented algorithms have been recognized with a Technical Academy Award, or 'Oscar'.

It would be easy to talk up the abilities of the Cedar DNS1000, but no-one will be convinced unless they actually hear samples of location recordings in their raw unpolished state and then after they've been processed through our DNS1000. We recorded dialog using a standard EFP kit (lapel mics and shotgun microphone) in various locations and processed them through the DNS1000. There has been no other adjustments (no EQs or Filters) You hear the original sound first, then the processed sound, the only adjustment being to level to equal out the loudness.
