Using the plugin on a track-level, rather than clip-level, is especially helpful if dialogue is organized on its own track. You can see in the waveform that the plugin detects smaller waveform and raises it to match your levels. Another interesting feature of the Voice Leveler is that its Breath Control can detect breaths and not include them in the leveling. The plugin was able to level out my voice to sound like I was standing in the same spot the entire time. To further test this, I spoke into a microphone and then walked five feet away and continued speaking. Think: a three-person dialogue scene but only two lavaliers, so two voices close to the mic and the third voice sounds far away. This plugin saves a lot of time.Īnd on the subject of major time savers, the Voice Leveler automates a typically labor-intensive process of normalizing different voices in dialogue.

Normally, I would go into my audio clip and draw keyframes around the plosive to manually lower the levels around that particular peak in the waveform, which can be quite tedious.

You can see the plosive being targeted by the highlights in your waveform. The Plosive Remover removes pops and spikes in your audio caused by P’s, M’s, and B’s. I tried these plugins within Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and Davinci Resolve and was impressed with how good I could get my audio to sound without having to do very much at all. In fact, it's the simple turn of a single knob that does the trick in most cases for poorly recorded audio. The ERA 4 Bundles (Enhancement and Repair of Audio) are packages of single-knob audio repair and leveling plugins with multi-platform compatibility that helps picture editors, sound editors, and podcasters work a whole lot faster. That's where Accusonus can help.Īs one of the first audio engineering companies to use machine learning and AI technology in an audio repair plugin, Accusonus makes it to where you never have to leave your video or audio editing software to use it. That is what I wish for all film, video, and podcast-makers, but alas we are often given poorly recorded sound to work with.

Hopefully, you record great sound for your videos and podcasts or are working with people who understand the importance of great sound and will prioritize it on set. Bad sound makes a good picture edit look less good, so cleaning up your audio in the offline edit is extremely important.

I do not consider myself a sound editor or an audio expert, but as a picture editor, I understand the importance of good sound throughout the edit. Accusonus is making audio repair easy for sound and video people using machine learning.
