If you have Waves WNS Suppressor and their Q10 Waves have released a Processing Chain that you can download…
In response to the widely publicized complaints from TV viewers and broadcasters of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Waves is proud to unveil a solution which dramatically reduces the problematic sound of the omnipresent Vuvuzela trumpet favored by South African soccer fans.
Working in conjunction with a major television broadcaster, we’ve precision-crafted a preset processing chain which drastically decreases Vuvuzela noise: The WNS Waves Noise Suppressor and the Q10 Paragraphic Equalizer. Together, they not only minimize Vuvuzela noise, they increase the intelligibility of the game announcers’ play-by-play action and color commentary.
The processing chain for Vuvuzela noise reduction is now available as load-and-use sessions for Pro Tools, Waves MultiRack, and Cubase. Click here for more info.
Prosoniq have gone for a different approach.Firstly they quickly produced a demo to show how their sonicWORX Isolate application could reduce the impact of the Vuvuzelas…
Using sonicWORX Isolate To Improve Dialog – No doubt sonicWORX Isolate has been recently used for a lot of creative work in the music business. But as this sound snippet demonstrates, it is far more than just a creative tool to extract and suppress instruments in a mix. This audio clip demonstrates our technologies’ ability to get rid of the annoying Vuvuzela noise from a Worldcup commentary and clearly demonstrates its use to improve dialog in cases where all other options have failed.
So don’t forget to check out our sonicWORX Isolate demo today
Then the next day they have produced a free application based on their Isolate product…
Prosoniq is proud to announce the world’s first realtime Vuvuzela filtering plug in based on sonicWORX’ audio de-mixing technology. This technology does not use a notch filter or parametric EQ to remove the noise. VuvuX is a free Apple AudioUnit plug in that suppresses the noise created by the South African trumpet called “Vuvuzela” in realtime without affecting the audio commentary or the stadium atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy a noise-free World Cup 2010.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
