NoiseWorks VoiceAssist Advanced - ESD

The NoiseWorks VoiceAssist Advanced is an AI-powered vocal and dialogue assistant designed to take the grind out of editing. It cleans up noise and reverb, evens out levels, tames breaths and sibilance, and tightens silences, all while keeping every decision fully editable. Running entirely on your local machine, it delivers fast, secure processing for music, post-production, podcasts and voice-over work.

Instead of manually drawing automation, riding faders and chopping up regions, VoiceAssist analyses your performance and builds a detailed, non-destructive edit for you. Intelligent LUFS-based levelling, content-aware gating and advanced detection of breaths and sibilants help you reach consistent, mix-ready results in a fraction of the time. With ARA integration in supported DAWs and a dedicated standalone app, it drops straight into almost any workflow.

AI-Powered Noise and Reverb Removal

VoiceAssist uses locally running AI models to identify and reduce background noise and room reflections while preserving the natural character of the voice. Traffic rumble, fan noise, headphone bleed and boxy room tone are intelligently controlled, giving you a cleaner, drier vocal to mix. This is especially helpful when working with recordings from untreated rooms, mobile rigs or remote guests.

Recover Clarity in Dull Recordings

The dedicated clarity module analyses your signal and rebuilds missing high-frequency detail to restore presence and intelligibility. Instead of relying on aggressive EQ boosts, VoiceAssist recovers lost top-end information, helping muddy or flat recordings cut through more naturally. Vocals sit further forward in the mix and translate more consistently across different playback systems.

Intelligent Levelling and Dynamics

VoiceAssist automatically writes detailed volume automation based on your chosen loudness and dynamics settings. With support for LUFS-I and LUFS-S workflows plus integrated peak control, it is easy to hit consistent loudness targets without over-compressing. You can go from subtle level riding on sung vocals to tighter, more controlled dialogue, all while keeping the performance sounding natural and dynamic.

Breath and Sibilance Control

Breaths and sibilants are detected automatically and displayed as editable regions on the timeline. You can reduce breaths globally for speed or fine-tune individual inhales to keep phrasing intact. Sibilance can be treated using volume-based or spectral processing, either across the whole track or on a case-by-case basis. This approach offers more transparency and control than a traditional de-esser, smoothing harsh consonants without dulling the overall tone.

Non-Destructive, Content-Aware Workflow

Every element that VoiceAssist detects remains fully editable. Breaths, sibilance and dynamics regions can be added, removed, resized or adjusted at any time, and your manual edits are never overwritten by re-analysis. The content-aware gate listens to the performance rather than relying solely on a fixed threshold, adapting to changing mic positions and uneven takes to avoid unnatural cuts. With ARA integration in compatible DAWs and a standalone application for all other setups, VoiceAssist streamlines vocal and dialogue editing while keeping you firmly in control.

• AI-Powered Noise and Reverb Removal - Intelligent, locally running AI models reduce background noise and room reflections while preserving the natural tone of the voice. This gives you a cleaner, drier starting point, especially when working with recordings from untreated spaces or remote contributors.
• Clarity Module to Recover High Frequencies - The clarity module analyses your audio and reconstructs missing high-end detail to restore presence and articulation. It helps rescue dull or muddy takes without harsh EQ boosts, allowing vocals and dialogue to sit clearly in the mix.
• LUFS-Based Levelling and Dynamics - VoiceAssist automatically creates detailed volume automation to maintain consistent levels, with support for LUFS-I and LUFS-S workflows and integrated peak control. This reduces the need for heavy compression and manual rides, speeding up mixing while keeping performances sounding natural.
• Fully Editable, Content-Aware Workflow - Detected breaths, sibilants and dynamics regions are always editable and never destructively processed. The content-aware gate reacts to actual voice activity rather than a simple threshold, helping to avoid choppy edits and over-processing in real-world vocal and dialogue sessions.
