Was hoping for better

I don’t mind paying a little more for an outstanding plugin. This, however, is not one of those. For the technology, it’s way overpriced . It really is imo. I normally don’t give negative reviews but UAD emailed me for a review and I have to be honest. It’s one of those plugins that if you needed it, you begrudgingly fork over the hundreds that it cost but then you’re left wondering, did I just spend way too much for something that is a slight tone suck? Well, for me, I bundled it so I didn’t pay full price.

To me, if they want to charge a heafty price, have it include all the other noise supressorss that they make. There’s no need to split it out for guitars or vocals, etc.

C-Suite C-Axe™ Guitar Noise Suppressor Fantastic Tool

A game changer. The C Suite is Noise suppressor. It is far better than using a gate. No setup. Hearing an open coil buzz and adding the plugin "Wow " No Buzz. The magic it gives you is the cedar sound. That silky sound you hear at a movie. It makes the track a whole new level of excellence.

Almost perfect!

Awesome tool! But sometimes there is still some 50Hz hum existing in the sustain of the guitar (when playing long notes and the tail lasts for more than 6-7sec).
In most cases it resolves every 50Hz hum problems.

not exactly what I was looking for

I haven't used it for direct recording; I have only tried it as a plugin to clean a low hum in my Telecaster recording. It consumes significant DSP, and you can't really tell that it's doing much, if anything at all. Yes, I read the manual; it's like two pages. I bought it because it was crucial for me to get a cleaner sound in the quiet parts. Now, I wish I could get that money back to buy other, nicer plugins instead.

Skip it and get the C-Vox if you must.

Doesn't really work the way it should...

It does what it had to do

The C-Suite C-Axe is a very good Guitar Noise Suppressor. Normally, I don't use one because nearly all my GIBSON Guitars are with humbuckers and it's not necessary to mute hum. But in some cases I had also single coil pickups and a lot of distortion. Then it is "on" on the Guitar Channel. :-)

Mixed feelings

Amazing results for my piezo acoustic guitar
Ok results with a single coin one
And with my active pickups one is 0 results

Good for buzz noise

Easy to use and effective especially for buzz noise.Hopefully it had more function to kill other gt noise like hiss.
But all in all,this plugin do its work.

Love the C-suite but this plugin is not miraculous in daw usage for the moment !

Not worth the cash!

I have been trying everything with this plugin to make it work. Sure it stops the buzz but it completely adds an overtone harmonic to your sound which is so disappointing! Can’t seem to figure out how to stop it? So I give this a thumbs down

Use waves Rvox Instead

Kind of a scam..Send your signal chain through an instance of R-vox, and adjust the threshold to kill unwanted room tone in your signal path. It's a lot more natural that way.

A must have tool for single coil folks

I already loved the C suite for vocals & tried this.
Super clean and dynamic guitar tracks without the buzz. Used some vintage fender amps with strats and teles and the tracks come out sounding great.
Especially for a sparse mix, lets me use the guitars and amps I want

It does it's job but improvements needed

During noise suppression, it degrade the main audio signal which should not happen.

Great noise removal

C-axe is great for removing unwanted noise/hum from my guitars! Love that you can use it in console while tracking too.

Single coil goodness.

As far as I know inside of the plugins are lots of zeros and ones ferociously attacking and destroying hum while avoiding pristine sound of your telecaster.

Incredible.

Amazing! Just buy it. You know you wanna.

Meh.

Not impressed.
I don’t have a ton of noise in my signal path so I can’t hear hear where it’s even removing simple hiss. I didn’t realize the plug-in was so limited.
For that price point , it should be able to do more.
