Why we like it

CrumplePop earns its spot in the toolfarm library by pairing one-slider enhancement plugins with a standalone AI app for demixing and denoising, all processed locally on your own GPU.

What is Boris FX CrumplePop?

Boris FX CrumplePop is a suite of AI tools that improve audio inside the NLE of your choice, including Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Audition, Pro Tools, Logic, and GarageBand. It removes echo, fan noise, wind noise, mic rustle, and plosives, and automatically levels your sound. A standalone desktop app is also included.

The package brings together the SoundApp standalone application for Mac and Windows, SoundApp ARA plugins for Pro Tools, Sequoia, Samplitude, Reaper, Cubase, and other ARA2 hosts, and the CrumplePop VST, AU, and AAX plugins: AudioDenoise, EchoRemover, WindRemover, TrafficRemover, ClipRemover, Levelmatic, PopRemover, RustleRemover, and Voice Enhance. Beyond cleanup, it splits music tracks into vocals, drums, bass, and other, isolates or removes voice from music, and deconstructs rendered scenes to extract music, sound effects, background noise, or dialogue.

Processing runs locally on your GPU with no cloud uploads and no credits, so your audio never leaves your device. The AI models are custom-trained on proprietary datasets. Version 2026.5 adds full-clip ARA processing inside your DAW, a Processed Audio Cache, and faster model loading.

Boris FX CrumplePop has different processor needs across its components. The plugins call for a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 or better, while the SoundApp standalone application requires Apple Silicon (M1 or newer).

Does Boris FX CrumplePop need an internet connection or cloud upload?

Boris FX CrumplePop processes audio directly on your computer's GPU, so it does not rely on the cloud. Your audio never leaves your device, keeping private data private. There are no credits to purchase and no upload limits. This is a difference from cloud-based tools that require uploads and processing queues. Because everything runs locally, you keep working without waiting on remote servers to return results.

A SoundApp standalone application is also available for Mac and Windows when you want to work without a DAW or editor.
