CEDAR Audio
CEDAR Studio 8 - Restore
CEDAR has led the world in audio restoration since the 1980s, introducing features and capabilities that many claimed were impossible before they released them. Real-time digital declicking and decrackling? A CEDAR 'first'. Digital noise reduction without a fingerprint? Also invented by CEDAR. Noise-free equalisation? Sub-sample phase/time correction? Spectral editing? All of these were researched, developed and released first by CEDAR.
Today, CEDAR has combined eight of your favourite restoration processes into a single package: CEDAR Studio Restore. This allows you to remove a huge number of the problems that you'll encounter, whether you're transferring audio from old and damaged media, cleaning up soundtracks for film and TV, restoring material for broadcast, and much more.
Eliminate clicks with the minimum of fuss
Declick offers better impulsive noise detection and a better interpolator than any other plug-in declicker. This results in superior performance across a wider range of material than ever before. Indeed, this performance is so good that, in most cases, it's not possible to hear that the signal was damaged prior to restoration.
Dig deeper to eliminate crackle and other problems
Decrackle boasts a remarkable ability to dig into the damaged signal to identify and remove all manner of ground-in and grungy crackle without damaging the wanted audio. It also removes many forms of buzz and some amplitude distortions from material ranging from cylinder recordings to current broadcasts contaminated with lighting buzz.
Remove extended clicks and scratches (Pro Tools only)
Manual Declick is ideal for restoring the extended scratches and clicks encountered on many audio media - film, tape or disk, whether analogue or digital. Its unique dual algorithms - optimised for long clicks and scratches - will remove noises such as those found on optical soundtracks, as well as drop-outs and extended digital errors.
Removing bumps and thumps (Pro Tools only)
Dethump eliminates the extended low-frequency thumps that cannot be restored using conventional declicking processes and filters. It replaces the unwanted sound with restored low frequency audio and is the ideal tool for removing many of the previously intractible problems associated with optical soundtracks, cylinders, 78rpm discs, and even modern recordings when, for example, microphones and stands are bumped.
Automatic dehissing that really works
Auto Dehiss embodies an advanced algorithm that is far less susceptible to the unwanted side-effects sometimes called twittering, glugging, the 'underwater sound', and even 'space monkeys'. In short, it's able to determine the broadband noise content and remove it without the introduction of these unwanted artefacts. A manual mode is also offered for fine-tuning the results when wanted.
Eliminate buzz and hum
Debuzz quickly and easily removes all manner of buzzes and hums with fundamentals as high as 500Hz, and it can eliminate unwanted signal components across the entire audio spectrum. It will track wandering tones and, unlike traditional filters, can successfully restore the audio without unwanted side-effects such as limited bandwidth or the hollow sound introduced by comb filters.
Reconstruct clipped audio
Declip 2 effortlessly removes clipped samples and reconstructs the original signal, improving clarity, eliminating distortion, and restoring the original dynamic range of the damaged audio. This latest algorithm even tracks the clipping amplitude so that material that has later been processed with dynamics packages can still be restored.
Finish your audio using a unique limiter
Adaptive Limiter employs another unique algorithm developed by CEDAR that constrains the peak level of the output while retaining the integrity of the input. The result is a perfectly controlled signal that remains much more natural than audio processed using other limiters. It is also an unsurpassed loudness maximiser and, with its advanced resampling and noise shaping capabilities, is ideal for mixing, final mastering and other creative duties.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
