Avid and CrumplePop have formed a partnership.
### CrumplePop 2025.5: A Game-Changer for Audio Editing
CrumplePop, a leading provider of audio editing tools, has unveiled its latest update, CrumplePop 2025.5. This update brings a host of improvements and new features that make it an essential tool for broadcasters, podcasters, filmmakers, and content creators seeking professional audio quality without the need for complex engineering.
#### SoundApp Overhaul
The highlight of the update is the reinvention of SoundApp as a standalone desktop application for both macOS and Windows. This streamlined version offers a fast AI-driven audio cleanup workflow, analysing and processing entire audio clips for improved quality and accuracy. The updated AI models now deliver superior noise removal, including echo, fan noise, mic bumps, hum, wind, and more, as well as greater clarity, especially for vocals and non-native English speakers.
New AI-powered vocal detection instantly improves vocal clarity, even in noisy environments, and higher vocal ranges and non-English speech are rendered more clearly and accurately. The simplified workflow allows users to import a clip, select an AI model, adjust the strength, and export the cleaned audio—all in a straightforward, user-friendly interface. All processing is done on the user’s machine, ensuring privacy and faster speeds.
#### Device and Software Support
The latest update also includes native AAX plugin support for Avid Media Composer and Pro Tools. CrumplePop continues to work as plugins in all major video/audio editors, including Adobe, Blackmagic Design, and Final Cut Pro. Existing users can update to the latest version, and previous projects will benefit automatically from the new AI models.
#### License Options Introduced
CrumplePop 2025.5 offers three license options: Perpetual License, 1-Year License, and Floating License. The perpetual license allows users to own the software indefinitely, while the 1-Year License provides a renewable annual subscription for continued updates and support. The floating license, available for organisations purchasing five or more licenses, is managed through the RLM (Reprise License Manager) system.
#### CrumplePop Starter Plan
For those new to CrumplePop, the company offers a FREE starter plan that allows users to test a few of their plugins, including SoundApp Basic, PopRemover, and RustleRemover.
