ARA2 and Host Integration

The new Acoustica ARA2 plug-in included with the Premium Edition 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 takes away 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 offers a quick and easy way to transfer audio clips for processing from Pro Tools to Acoustica – and back again.

Cutting Edge Tools based on Deep Learning

Both the Standard and Premium Editions include the Remix tool based on deep learning. Remix can split a complete mix in up to five stems and you can adjust the stem levels independently in real-time. You can also import a complete mix into a multitrack session and let Acoustica create separate tracks for each stem automatically. In addition to Extract:Dialogue that comes bundled with the Premium Edition we have trained deep learning models to specifically target common issues in dialogue post-production. These plug-ins are available exclusively with Acoustica Premium Edition. DeWind:Dialogue reduces wind noise whereas DeRustle:Dialogue reduces clothing rustle and microphone bump noise from lavalier recordings. DeBuzz:Dialogue targets buzz and hum noises such as neon light buzz AC power hum RF transmission interference. As beautiful as bird songs may be they can be a major disturbance when recording in the field. The new DeBird reduces bird noise effectively and automatically. Voice-over artists will enjoy the DeClick:Dialogue and DePlosive:Dialogue tools that help reducing pesky mouth clicks lip smacks and plosives.

ULTIMATE AUDIO QUALITY

Acoustica offers support for state-of-the-art audio resolutions up to 32 bit and sampling rates up to 384 kHz ensuring that all of your work comes across at the highest quality. Acoustica Premium Edition even supports multi-channel audio recording and editing such as 5.1 surround or 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos.

PROCESSING TOOLS CHAINS AND PLUG-INS

High quality processing tools ranging from a new suite of dynamic processing tools to EQ and effects like reverb and chorus are integrated along with sample rate conversion time stretching and pitch shifting. You can create chains of audio processors and apply or store them for later use. A powerful batch processor is included and VST VST3 and AU (Mac only) plug-ins are supported.

MULTITRACK EDITING

Mix audio from different tracks in real-time insert audio effects or create cross-fades easily in multitrack sessions. You can loop or time stretch clips directly from the multitrack timeline and automate volume pan and send levels.

SPECTRAL EDITING (PREMIUM EDITION ONLY)

The new spectral editing mode in Acoustica Premium Edition 7 allows precise restoration work since processing can be limited to isolated regions in time and frequency. Selection tools such as brush freehand or magic wand are available. The retouch tool removes noise based on a freely selectable reference from the surrounding audio.

AUDIO RESTORATION

Integrated audio restoration tools help you get the most out of recordings impaired by background noise clicks crackle clipping or missing high frequency content. The Premium Edition includes the plug-ins from our Restoration Suite and Extract Dialogue .

ANALYSIS TOOLS

Analysis tools such as spectrum spectrogram and wavelet analysis are available. Real-time analyzers visualize your audio output (EBU R-128 loudness level spectral and phase correlation).
