Ohms Restore

Fix vinyl clicks & tape hiss

Only for Mac

$17.99

Mac

Load the bundled demo recording, hear one pass lift out clicks, hum and hiss, press B to flip back to the original at matched level, then queue your own transfers. Old transfers carry their history out loud: needle crackle on 78s and LPs, cassette hiss, mains buzz under an interview tape, the flattened tops of a field recording that went too hot. OhmsRestore listens to each file first and tells you which of those are actually there. Every recording gets measured before anything touches it. The analysis lists the regions it found, with a label and a confidence for each. Ask for a suggestion and it proposes a repair chain: which stages to switch on, how sure it is, and the measurement behind every choice. The suggestion changes nothing until you press Apply, and every stage stays editable afterwards. The chain has six stages, each with its own bypass: de-clip for short overloaded peaks, de-click for clicks and crackle, de-hum that finds 50 or 60 Hz mains hum and notches its harmonics, a spectral de-hiss for steady noise, a high-pass and low-pass trim for bandwidth that holds nothing but rumble or fizz, and a final normalize stage that sets a plain RMS target (not LUFS) under a true-peak ceiling. Set one chain, add a stack of files, and let the queue work unattended. You can pause after the current file, cancel a single job, and read a plain reason when a file fails, without losing the exports that already finished. Sources are opened read-only. Each restored copy is written to a folder you choose, reopened, and checked before it is kept. WAV, AIFF and FLAC are supported, and a repair ledger can record the recipe, the measurements and the defects found for every file. To judge a result honestly, play it and press B. The transport flips between the original and the restored take without stopping, with both matched to the same loudness on a BS.1770 meter, so louder never passes for better. No recordings yet? A short demo recording ships inside the app, so you can try the whole chain before choosing your own files. You can also open a .ohmsproject package from Finder or the File menu: its audio receipt is verified before anything is queued, and malformed or tampered packages are refused. What it will not do: restoration is signal processing, not reconstruction. A long clipped passage may be detected and deliberately left alone, and metadata chunks the app does not understand are reported as not copied rather than silently dropped. The app itself makes no network connections, and there is no account and no analytics. It is a single purchase with no subscription, and it runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. The interface is in English.

The Introduction no longer opens every time you start OhmsRestore. It appears once, on first launch, and you can reopen it any time from Help > Introduction or with Shift-Command-I, even when no window is open. Buttons and highlights now use the rose-gold accent.
