Easy Tool is a very easy-to-use set of real-time Plug-Ins
primarily intended for cleaning up noisy and scratchy recordings. It is
also very well suited for general sound improvement when using PlugIns like
the Easy Enhancer.
The big challenge during the development of Easy Tools was to create a
software that allows maximal performance with a minimal number of parameters
to be adjusted.
Easy Tools consists of the Easy Tools PlugIn Center, the Easy Tools
Player with the Easy Tools PlayList and various PlugIns.
Easy Tools PlugIn Center
The Easy Tools PlugIn Center is responsible for the handling and chaining
up to six PlugIns simultaneously. It also features an enhanced preset management
allowing the comparison of different parameter sets and PlugIn compositions
with just one mouse click. Also integrated is the unique Algorithmix difference
function enabling you to monitor the noise being removed. With the power
of this feature the parameter setup gets even easier!
Easy Tools Player
The Easy Tools Player is WAV and mp3 player providing basic editing functions.
It features not only a wave display with zoom-in and zoom-out, a loop editor,
cut and split operations, but also a store function which allows saving
audio files after processing. The precise output level meter with reset
able peak hold make it easy to prevent clippings. All mp3 formats (including
variable bit rates) as well as *.wav files are supported.
Easy Tools PlayList
With the new resizable Easy Tools PlayList automatic playback of several
files is possible. Single files or whole directories can be added or dragged
& dropped to the list. Files can be arranged using the sort function, shuffle
function, or individually by using the mouse. A search function is also
implemented.

The following four Easy Tools
PlugIns are currently available:

Easy Enhancer
The Easy Enhancer is a powerful tool for sound improvement,
especially for recordings which sound weak, are bad leveled
or spectrally unbalanced. It is very well suited for revitalization
of recordings from old records or tapes after sound restoration.
You will also hear a big difference when listening to all kinds
of audio material over small multimedia loudspeakers placed
close to each other while the Easy Enhancer is in the processing
chain. It simply makes things sound better.
The Easy Enhancer continuously analyses the audio signal and
provides optimized sound enhancement in three areas: dynamic
bass maximizing, high-frequency boost, and stereo image increase.
The bass maximizer is not just a simple bass equalizer; it works
dynamically, i.e., dependent on low-frequency contents in the
audio signal. A reliable Peak Limiter and Soft Clipper included
at the end of the processing chain avoid annoying signal distortions
even at exaggerated enhancement levels.
You will be amazed how much better your favorite mp3 songs can
sound over low-price PC loudspeakers and how good you can revitalize
your old recordings restored with the Easy DeClicker and the
Easy DeNoiser.
