DEBIRD automatically recognizes bird noises in your recordings and removes them with surgical precision.
AUTOMATED BIRD NOISE REMOVAL
The Problem
Meet the involuntary #1 enemy of recordists and editors alike: Birds.
While their lively and delightful song is a true asset in nature ambiences, it ruins just about everything else.
As a result, countless hours are spent on the rather tedious task of cleaning recordings before one can get back to the fun part and focus on the creative process.
THE SOLUTION
How to use DEBIRD?
1
Select any sound you want to clean up and use DEBIRD on your DAWs audio tracks.
2
Hit Play and enjoy DEBIRD removing all the birds from your sound in REAL TIME.
3
You can see the removed bird sounds in the lower spectrum display.
Adjust the built-in filters and sensitivity to your likings.
That’s It?
Yes! It is really that simple. You need some more features? You can also do the following:
Would you like to keep certain sounds that would otherwise be removed?
No problem! Use the Low- and High-Pass filters to show DEBIRD what frequencies to keep.
Solo and export the extracted bird sounds if needed.
DEBIRDĀ can be used in the exact opposite way it was designed for.

Help us to improve DEBIRD
DEBIRD works with a neural network that further improves the more input it gets. We will continuously feed the deep learning algorithm with recordings of birds to improve the results and to better handle edge-cases.
