Acoustica 8
The Definitive Toolkit for Surgical Precision and Sonic Perfection.
Acoustica 8 is a complete audio editing, restoration and mastering platform — a standalone application backed by a full plugin suite. Buy it once, keep it forever.
Put simply, version 8 is the biggest leap forward Acoustica has taken to date. New machine learning under the hood isn't here to make the calls for you — it's here to take the boring and mundane work out of restoration, so the hours you used to spend on repetitive processes can now go into making the important creative decisions.
Acoustica has been in continuous development for twenty-five years: with countless free updates, responsive support, and a team that ships tools which actually change your workflow, not a fresh coat of paint on the old one.
Choose Standard for a powerful entry point, Premium for the complete toolkit, or Ultimate for full post-production control — either way, you get serious audio software at a price that makes sense.
Rescue, Polish, Master
Acoustica 8 covers the full restoration and editing chain in a single platform. Better still, many of the features work in real time.
01
RESCUE
Clicks, pops, hum, hiss, rustle, room rumble, lav mic clothing noise, the fridge compressor on a location shoot, the cough during the wedding vows. Our new updated restoration plugins handle the everyday damage that ends up in working sessions, with new AI-powered DeNoise 3 and DeHum for cleaner results on dialogue, ambience and music alike.
02
REPAIR
The Spectral Editor handles what the broadband tools can't. Surgically remove dog barks, sirens, string squeaks, page turns, and an off-camera cough. Stereo-view spectrograms with hue-encoded stereo positioning let you see exactly what you're working on. Time and frequency feathering makes every repair sit naturally inside the source material.
03
ISOLATE
Extract:Dialogue 2 pulls speech from difficult recordings with more precise, targeted control than the previous version. Useful when you've inherited a session, when the boom failed, or when the only usable take has the wrong noise floor.
04
EDIT
Our new AudioFill feature delivers Improved interpolation and retouch algorithms now fill larger time regions with intelligently generated content. The kind of repair that used to mean reaching for a different tool or accepting a compromise.
05
MASTER
Support for immersive formats up to 9.1.6. A redesigned, customisable interface. Dockable processing tools. The full chain from source audio to finished master, in one place.
Acoustica for Music Production
Restoration for vintage recordings, surgical repair for live captures, and mastering for finished tracks.
Acoustica for Post Production
Dialogue cleanup, location audio rescue, full ARA integration inside Pro Tools, immersive delivery up to 9.1.6.
Acoustica for Content Creation
Podcast cleanup, voiceover polish, fast turnaround on imperfect source audio.

What The Pros Say About Acoustica...
"Take Acoustica extremely seriously if you're a professional in post-production. It goes neck and neck with the industry leader, at a fraction of the price, and with no subscription. It's a no brainer."
Brian Bracken, Emmy-Winning Re-recording Engineer (Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, The Mind of a Chef)
"In classical and score productions, a repair only works if it's invisible. The quality of interpolation, and how it blends into the surrounding material, is exceptional in Acoustica 8's spectral editing. Complex artifacts and noises are addressed simply and quickly with genuinely transparent results.”
Mark Willsher, Grammy®-winning Engineer/Mixer (San Francisco Symphony, Ultraman Rising, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim)
"Acoustica 8 has become my go‑to for restoration and edit work. Editing is quick, surgical fixes are less fiddly, and the improved metering makes accurate levels easy. Improvements on every level – saving me real time in day‑to‑day sessions."
Alan Branch, Grammy-Winning Mixer, Engineer, Producer, Writer (U2, Jeff Beck, Nine Inch Nails)
Full ARA integration with Pro Tools and compatible DAWs
The Acoustica ARA2 plug-in included with all Acoustica Editions offers the complete functionality of Acoustica’s clip editor and can be seamlessly integrated into digital audio workstations (DAWs) with ARA2 support. The ARA standard removes the hassle of transferring clips back and forth between the host application and Acoustica, and DAW sessions are kept up-to-date automatically.
A Transfer plug-in in the AAX format for Pro Tools is also included which offers a quick and easy way to transfer audio clips for processing from Pro Tools to Acoustica – and back again.
