Curtis Judd | Clean Dialogue in Acoustica — Rotate Phase for Loudness and Extract:Dialogue for Noise Reduction @curtisjudd | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
In this week’s episode we start our multi-part series on Acoustica, a digital audio editor made by Acon Digital. Besides being a lower-cost alternative to iZotope RX, Acoustica is an interface for all your ‘audio editing, podcast creation, mastering, and audio restoration’ needs. With such features as spectral editing and retouch, multi-channel support up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2, and ARA 2 integration capabilities, Acoustica is a compelling editor to add to your workflow. In this series, we walk through and test Acoustica’s Premium Edition feature set and compare it to industry standard suite iZotope RX 9.
In this installment of the series, we try out Acoustica’s Extract:Dialogue and Rotate Phase functions. First we’ll show you how to rotate phase on a recording in order to reclaim headroom during the loudness normalization process. Then, we test out the Extract:Dialogue plugin and compare its results to those from RX’s Dialogue Isolate. Let’s take a closer look!
