real NR software
There is no such thing. As I was trying to explain (and I think if I
interpret correctly, Fons's point was also on the same lines) it would
make more sense to speak of *noise reduction strategies*.
Sorry but there are plugins intended specifically to filter out specific types of noise. These are much more purpose specific then general purpose tools like EQ and Gates, but I would once again clarify they are examples of 'noise reduction software' as that is specifically their intended purpose.
Does that mean you don't have to know how to apply them? Not at all. But it does mean you can generally get better results with them than a standard gate, eq, or other general purpose tool, though in some cases they are modifications of the basic concepts of those general purpose tools. Fons has given several great examples of such tools in his post as well.
