Mic Wiz handles hiss, room echo, keyboard clatter, boxy tone, harsh esses and uneven level. Cleanup happens first while the signal is untouched, then tone and dynamics, and the limiter comes last so nothing after it can clip.

Run it standalone in front of OBS, Discord, Zoom or Teams. The built-in Virtual Mic bar handles routing to VB-CABLE for you. Or load the VST3 on a track in any DAW. Three latency modes let you choose between studio quality and conversation speed.

Features

  • One shared restoration pass

    Noise reduction, AI isolation (RNNoise) and dereverb share one STFT, so there's one delay instead of three.

  • Virtual mic routing

    Finds installed virtual cables, sends output to one in a click, and names the device to pick in the other app.

  • Three latency modes

    Studio (44.6 ms), Balanced (23.3 ms) and Live (12.6 ms), measured at 48 kHz with AI off.

  • Host-safe

    Reports exact latency in every mode, including bypass, so your takes stay aligned.

  • Measured, not guessed

    An offline test harness runs the real DSP code on known test signals on every build.
