smabilN

SmabilN is a small software package for the Unix-like operating systems specifically designed for noise reduction in audio files. The package is designed to be a balance between high-quality algorithms and low computational requirements, making it suitable for use in musical applications and multimedia production.

SmabilN is a command-line tool, thus allowing flexible batch processing and can be integrated into various pipelines. The filter has a unique approach to noise reduction, focusing on noise floor level estimation as well as frequency response. Its ability to learn from input audio makes it a relatively stable solution for many audio characteristics.

Several algorithms are combined in the package, including noise estimation and filtering, low-frequency noise reduction and high frequency cut. These components can be independently turned on or off, allowing the user to customise the tool according to the nature of the desanúerticed (cleaned) audio. With its combination of customizable settings and stable noise-reducing functionality, SmabilN finds common use in musical applications that require removing background hiss and ambient noise, digital storage devices that capture condenser microphones and even for multimedia presentation purposes to remove back ground rumble.

SmabilN is accessible via a terminal interface, though a GUI frontend exists for easier user interaction. Both are available under the GNU General Public License, implying that source code is distributable under free and open-source terms.
