<p class="block">VoiceFX is a VST 2.x and VST 3.x plug-in enabling you to clean up noise and echo from recordings in post-processing<sup><a href="#ex1">1</a></sup> workflows. It is based on NVIDIA Broadcast SDKs, and as such is able to filter out fan noise, keyboard clicking, and a lot of other unwated noise. At the current time it is compatible with a number of VST 2.x and 3.x hosts, but may not work with all of them<sup><a href="#ex2">2</a></sup>.</p>

	<li id="ex1">A volume difference between voice and noise of 25 dBFS or more may be required for ideal results. The effect will try its best to remove noise, but is not magic and may fail under certain conditions.</li>
	<li id="ex2">Most VST 2.x and 3.x hosts will work, however some hosts do unnatural modifications to sandbox plug-ins, which will break VoiceFX. A notable examples is DaVinci Resolve, but more are listed <a href="https://itch.io/t/2256497/welcome-take-some-time-to-orient-yourself-readme" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
