Acon Digital has just released Extract:Dialogue 2, the next generation of its dialogue cleaning plugin for film, TV, streaming, and post production. The new version introduces real time reverb reduction, EQ per audio stem, optional M/S processing, and a redesigned mixer style interface that gives users direct control over dialogue, noise, and ambience.
Development was guided by conversations with dialogue editors, re-recording mixers, and other audio professionals. They highlighted persistent challenges such as unwanted reverb, loss of natural tone, and the need to switch between multiple tools to get a clean result. Extract:Dialogue 2 tackles those problems head on, improving workflow speed and maintaining the natural character of the voice.
“Professionals told us they wanted clearer visual feedback and independent control over dialogue, noise and reverb” said Stian Aagedal, CEO of Acon Digital. “Extract:Dialogue 2 was built in response to that input. It’s designed for real post sessions, whether you’re cleaning location dialogue for a feature or tightening interviews for a documentary.”
