Greenlit De-Noise
AI noise reduction, in your DAW
The same noise-reduction engine Greenlit Studio and the web version master with, as a VST3 and AU plugin. Room tone, hiss, HVAC and computer fans under a voice — gone, with the voice left alone. Audiobook chapters, broadcast spots, corporate reads, auditions: same problem, same fix.
VST3 + AU on macOS · VST3 on Windows
The noise you stop hearing and your listener doesn't
You stop hearing your own room after ten minutes. The hiss, the air conditioner, the fan under every line — it is still in the file, and it is the difference between a take that sounds finished and one that sounds like a spare bedroom. On an audition it is the first thing anyone hears.
De-Noise runs the same speech model the Greenlit mastering pass uses. It separates voice from background and takes the background down, conservatively by default.
Three controls
- Strength — how much of the reduction to apply. The default is deliberately gentle; push it for noisier rooms.
- Listen — hear only what is being removed, so you can check the voice is not in it.
- Bypass — a true, sample-exact bypass for A/B.

Questions
How is this different from other noise reduction?+
Most noise plugins learn the noise from you. You find a patch of silence, capture a noise profile, and the plugin subtracts that shape from everything after it. That works until the noise moves — a fan cycling on, traffic, a room that changes through a long session. De-Noise never asks for a profile. It is a model trained on speech and noise, so it already knows what a voice sounds like and what does not. Point it at a track and it separates the two. Nothing to capture, no silent patch to find.
Which formats and DAWs?+
VST3 and AU on macOS (13.3 or newer); VST3 on Windows. Any host that loads those formats — Logic, REAPER, Audition, Studio One, Audacity, Ableton Live. There is no plan for other plugin formats.
Which sample rates?+
44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. Sessions at other rates are refused rather than processed wrong, so set the session to one of those before you record.
Why does my DAW show a delay?+
The engine listens ahead to make its decisions, so the plugin reports about 1.6 seconds of latency and your DAW compensates for it. Bounces and renders come out perfectly aligned; during playback you may notice the cursor a little ahead of the audio, which is the host showing that compensation, not a fault.
How does the licence key work?+
Your key is bound to your account email, not to a machine — install on as many of your own computers as you use. There is no activation server: paste the key once and the plugin checks it locally. Lost the email? The key is always on your account page.
I own Greenlit Studio. Do I need this?+
Studio already runs this engine on every file it masters. De-Noise is for using it live inside your DAW; it is a separate purchase.
