ct Award Nominees Outstanding Product Nominees Post Production Audionamix: IDC (Instant Dialogue Cleaner) Audionamix Instant Dialogue Cleaner plugin offers immediate and effective dialogue cleaning technology through an intuitive interface, compatible with many post-production and broadcast workflows. The IDC plugin is versatile and easy to use due to its unique, integrated DNN artificial intelligence that automatically detects and separates speech, no matter the surrounding content. The software excels at addressing common audio issues, including complex interference, wind, birds or insects, car and plane interference, and roomy recordings. With the turn of a knob, users can clean up dialogue from production audio, field recordings, news and sports recordings, and more. The plugin supports sample rates between 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, bit depths between 16 bits to 32 bits, and features fully automatable plugin settings. https://audionamix.com/products/instant-dialogue-cleaner/ Exponential Audio: Stratus 3D and Symphony 3D reverbs These new reverb plugins from Exponential Audio address the need for reverbs that match new surround formats. Stratus 3D and Symphony 3D offer the usual formats, plus Atmos Bed, Extended Atmos (7.1.6), Auro 9.1, 11.1, and 13.1. The new plugins use expanded EQ, building on the popular NIMBUS architecture, with added bandpass and notch filters on the early reflections and tails, and also added an input EQ to help keep undesired elements out of the reverb. Early reflections include a unique reflection pattern from every input to every output. All reverbs are down-mix compatible. https://www.exponentialaudio.com/plugins-for-audio-post-production iZotope, Inc.: RX 7 iZotope RX 7 is the latest update to the popular noise reduction software. New to RX is the Music Rebalance function, a source separation tool that allows you to enhance or isolate elements of an audio track. You can also create instrumental versions of songs by removing the vocal elements or isolate the vocal to prepare a remix. Also new is Dialogue Contour module which can create a new performance by altering the pitch contour of the dialogue to adjust the intonation of the speaker. The new Dialogue De-reverb module is powered by machine learning to reduce the presence of reverberations around dialogue. RX 7 also supports multichannel files, which means you can quickly and easily edit one, multiple, or all channels of audio (up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2) using any of your favorite repair modules. https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/products/rx/whats-new-in-rx-7.html Sound Particles: Doppler + Air Doppler + Air is a plugin bundle with two plugins that replicate the physical behavior of pass- by effects (Doppler) and atmo- spheric absorption (Air). Doppler simulates the behavior of objects moving, providing audio with characteristics of sounds passing by, with control of all parameters that physically affect pitch, level, and EQ. Air simulates the natural dampening that happens to higher frequencies from sounds as they travel through air, providing perfectly simulated frequency responses to dia- logue or effects that you want to sound naturally distant. http://soundparticles.com/dopplerair.html Todd-AO: Absentia DX 2.0 The Absentia DX (ABDX) noise-reduction algorithm analyzes production dialogue recordings and then removes obvious hums, wireless rings, and ticks, while maintaining the integrity of the human voice. ABDX was developed for a network television show with difficult production sound that resulted in substantial repetitive manual labor. Simply drag and drop volumes, folders, or sound files directly onto the application or the settings window and files will begin processing. ABDX sound files' metadata and Sound File ID are identical to the original files except for the noises that have been removed. With identical metadata, you can swap the original files with ABDX files or vice versa. https://toddao.com/ C A S Q U A R T E R L Y W I N T E R 2 0 1 9 31
