I bought Soundsoap last summer and I've used it to help isolate calls
from the background as with ID purposes. These results were most
successful when I also used parametric EQ "upstream," in front of a
modest Soundsoap setting. To my ear, SS uses shelf filtering when
notch filtering is more effective-- which is no real surprise
considering what the app is trying to do in one "plug."
For ambient recordings where "foreground" sounds have marginal
separation from the background, the re-synthesis SS uses is quite
audible. Settings able to sufficiently address the hiss and lower
register noise bands lent the background a washy, dull character
every time I tried using it. It takes more time, but a good,
parametric EQ plug might prove more successful for these needs. Rob
