{% capture content %}Remove any kinds of noise from your recordings in post, with VoiceFX's noise removal based on the powerful NVIDIA Broadcast technology! Whether it is keyboard clacking, a vacuum, construction noise, or just ambient noise, VoiceFX can help restore just your own voice<sup>1</sup>. Available as both a VST2.x and a VST3.x plugin compatible with many VST hosts<sup>2</sup>.{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}

{% capture content %}<small><sup>1</sup>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.</small><br><small><sup>2</sup>Any fully standard compliant VST host will be able to load VoiceFX, but there may be some incompatibilities by default.</small>{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}

{% include blocks/heading.liquid level=1 content="Help & Support" %}

{% capture content %}If you've encountered a problem using VoiceFX, please try the following steps:{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}

{% include blocks/heading.liquid level=2 content="Ensure your System meets the Minimum Requirements" %}

{% capture content %}An unfortunately very common issue lately is people ignoring the System Requirements entirely, and wondering why the effect does not work on their System. Please make sure that your system meets the requirements or exceeds them, and that you have a Driver that is equal to or exceeds the requirement.{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}

{% include blocks/heading.liquid level=2 content="Install the correct NVIDIA Audio Effects Redistributable" %}

{% capture content %}There are multiple versions of the NVIDIA Audio Effects Redistributable, and you need to make sure to install the one that matches your Systems GPU. You can also just install all of them, which is a waste of disk space, but it does ensure that you have the correct Redistributable installed since all of them are installed.{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}

{% include blocks/heading.liquid level=2 content="None of these solved my issues!" %}

{% capture content %}If the problem you've encountered is not solved by any of the above answers, please join the {% include inline/link.liquid content="Official Discord" url="https://s.xaymar.com/discord" %} and find the <i>#voicefx-support</i> channel. The channel is usually filled with a lot of information about what works and what doesn't work, so take a few minutes to just scroll through it or use the search function. Note that while I'd like to eventually solve all problems, unfortunately the world is not perfect, so not everything will end up working.{% endcapture %}{% include blocks/paragraph.liquid content=content %}
