These days, a lot of artists are recording themselves at home, which often means I receive tracks with unwanted noise. ShutUp has been incredibly useful for cleaning things up quickly, letting me focus on mixing rather than spending time solving technical issues.
Nothing makes me happier than a plugin that says it will fix a very specific problem, and then it does exactly that. This will be living in my signal chain indefinitely.
Such a dope plug-in, that solves a universal problem.
A one knob (almost) solution to a big problem, now entirely solved by 4D Audio. Now we can focus on dialing in our tone and most importantly, creating! Thank you 4D.
Shut Up.
Straight answers, no fine print.
What shutup does, what it doesn't, and the things worth knowing before you buy.
ShutUp does a great job of cleaning up 80–90% of unwanted noise. It doesn't remove the noise at source, so you may still hear some residual noise in the lower mids, but there's still a vast difference.
No. It's designed to be used in conjunction with the noise gates included in amp sims, not as a replacement for them. However you should be able to set those noise gates in a much more conservative manner for a more natural effect.
Your licence key is emailed to you the moment the order completes, along with a link to register it. Register the licence in the 4D Audio Licensing Portal, then download the installer for your operating system from My Library. Delivery is usually instant, so if the email hasn’t arrived within a few minutes, check your spam folder.
