Enhanced Plugin Features Independent Channel Control and True Stereo Processing
Acon Digital has released Extract:Dialogue 2, an updated version of their dialogue cleaning plugin that combines AI-powered noise and reverb reduction with expanded professional control features. The plugin introduces independent channel processing for voice, reverb, and noise elements along with true stereo capabilities.
Enhanced AI Processing Architecture
Extract:Dialogue 2 utilizes the latest generation of Acon Digital's AI models to provide real-time, broadcast-quality dialogue cleaning. The plugin applies independent AI processing to mid and side channels for cleaner center dialogue while maintaining natural stereo width characteristics.
The AI system automatically detects and separates voice, reverb, and noise components, enabling individual control over each element without compromising the original signal's integrity.
Professional Control Features
Version 2 introduces independent volume controls for voice, reverb, and noise channels, complete with mute and solo functionality. Sensitivity adjustments allow fine-tuning of signal detection per channel, with frequency-dependent curves to focus processing on specific frequency ranges from midrange content to high-frequency reflections.
Dedicated EQ sections for each element enable tonal shaping within individual components. Users can soften reverb brightness without complete removal or eliminate low-frequency rumble while preserving natural ambience characteristics.
Workflow Integration
The plugin features a fully resizable interface that can display either complete controls or a compact mixer panel for different workspace requirements. Multi-output routing enables separate export of dialogue, reverb, and noise stems for advanced mixing applications.
A real-time spectrum display provides visual feedback with color-coded overlays showing voice, reverb, and noise components. Additional workflow features include A/B comparison, undo/redo functionality, factory and user presets, and audition mode for monitoring removed content.
Professional Endorsements
BAFTA-nominated sound editor Chris Roberts, known for work on "The Gentlemen" and "Hotel Portofino," describes the plugin as "very intuitive" with results "so seamless that I couldn't tell the difference between production and ADR." Emmy-winning sound designer James David Redding III praises its "great control over dialog, reverb, and noise levels with an intuitive, visually pleasing interface."
Compatibility and Pricing
Extract:Dialogue 2 supports VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats on both Windows and macOS with 32-bit and 64-bit versions available. The plugin supports sampling rates up to 96 kHz and includes automation capability for all voice, reverb, and noise controls.
The plugin is priced at $79 with bundle pricing available through the Acoustica Post Production Suite for $209 (reduced from $299). More information about Extract:Dialogue 2 is available on the Acon Digital website.
