FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Acon Digital Releases Extract:Dialogue — Noise Reduction for Dialogue based on Deep Learning

Oslo, December 10^th, 2020 — Acon Digital has released Extract:Dialogue, a plug-in that separates dialogue from common types of background noise such as wind, rustle, traffic, hum, clicks and pops. The algorithm works in real time and is based on a neural network trained on thousands of high-quality voice recordings and an equally extensive set of common noise sources. This extensive training enables the artificial intelligence to automatically distinguish dialogue from noise without user interaction, which makes Extract:Dialogue extremely easy to use.

Despite the fully automatic noise reduction, the plug-in interface does offer simple controls to adjust the sensitivity of the noise detection and the maximum noise attenuation. The sensitivity can also be adjusted independently in up to three frequency bands. The Maximum attenuation control is very handy when the goal is to reduce the noise without removing it completely. All the plug-in parameters are fully automatable.

Acon Digital Extract:Dialogue is available for both Windows (PC) and macOS (Macintosh). Both 32 and 64 bit versions are available for Windows and the version for macOS is 64 bit. The plug-in formats VST, VST3, AAX Native / AudioSuite and Audio Units (macOS only) are supported.

Price and Availability

Extract:Dialogue was released today and is available in the Acon Digital Store for $99.90 USD. The upcoming version 7.3 of Acoustica Premium Edition will include Extract:Dialogue and owners of the Premium Edition can download and authorize Extract:Dialogue with their Acoustica Premium Edition 7.x license key.
