Extract:Dialogue 2
Instantly isolate dialogue from background noise and reverb
The trusted dialogue cleaner, now in a class of its own
Already a staple amongst countless post professionals for its transparency and ease of use, Extract:Dialogue 2 builds on the success of the original Extract Dialogue, adding major new features including reverb reduction, EQ editing per channel and true stereo processing.
Version 2 takes everything that made the first plugin popular and pushes it much further, combining the latest cutting-edge AI with new precision controls professionals have been asking for.
While delivering real-time, broadcast-quality results instantly using the latest generation of Acon Digital’s AI models, with Extract:Dialogue 2, every part of the process can also be fine-tuned with surgical precision. It’s the plugin that works as fast as you do, and still lets you dig deeper when you need to.
Simple, one-time pricing. No subscriptions. Pay once, own it forever.
Deep control when you need it
For professionals who need precision, Extract:Dialogue 2 introduces a set of advanced workflow tools:
Independent Channel Control
Stop fighting one global setting that helps one element while hurting another. With separate faders, mute, and solo for Voice, Reverb, and Noise, you can isolate exactly what you're hearing and adjust each piece on its own terms — so cutting noise never means losing voice presence.
Per-Channel Sensitivity
Fine-tune how much signal gets detected in each channel with independent sensitivity controls. Dial in exactly how much is treated as voice, reverb, or noise, so nothing gets over- or under-processed.
Frequency-Focused Detection
Not every problem lives in the same part of the spectrum — room rumble and high-end hiss need different treatment. Frequency-dependent sensitivity curves let you zero in on the exact range causing trouble, so you fix the actual issue instead of over-processing the whole signal to compensate.
Tone Shaping with Per-Channel EQ
Killing reverb or noise outright often leaves dialogue sounding flat, dry, or disconnected from its space. Per-channel EQ lets you shape tone instead of just removing it — soften reverb brightness without losing the room, or clear rumble while keeping natural ambience — so the result still sounds real.
Full DAW Automation
A fixed setting can't follow a scene. Full automation of every Voice, Reverb, and Noise control means dialogue perspective can shift as the picture does — a character moving away, a cut tightening up — without you re-processing or swapping settings mid-edit.
Advanced UI Controls
Resize and adjust the scaling to suit your workflow and screen size.

“Extract Dialogue 2 has some of the best noise reduction I’ve heard. The fact that it can achieve such incredible results with minimal adjustment put it at the top of my list.”

Shaped by top professionals
Extract:Dialogue 2 was designed and built with direct input from some of the world's leading dialogue editors, mixers, and sound designers who rely on tools like this every day. They told us what slows them down, what competing products get right, and where they fall short.
The result is a voice cleaning tool that sets a new standard for speed, accuracy, and flexibility in real-world dialogue work.
