Matt BirchlerOk, so Adobe's "Enhance Speech" tool is pretty rad.
Here's another one of me enhancing the built-in mic on my Canon camera, which sounds terrible and echo-y.
Not perfect audio, but this is something I could use for a YouTube video and I doubt anyone would even think I was using the onboard mic.
Nate Barham@birchtree Yeah. Freakishly better when the mic is (and I said this out loud along with you as I was listening to the first clip, kind of spooky š) āabsolutely terrible.ā
Charlie Chapman@birchtree I really hope they bake this into Audition (without the 1hr limit of course š )
Really exciting potential here!
@charliemchapman @birchtree And I want the text feature in Audition, could be a godsend for audiobook work.
@NateBarham @birchtree I didnāt see the details on that. Was it auto transcription or something?
@charliemchapman @birchtree Yeah itās in the Adobe Podcast (formerly Project Shasta) video.
Tim Chaten@charliemchapman @birchtree slipped into iOS 16 is a new audio plugin that Apple made and it is pretty incredible - need to do some demos of just how good it is
@tchaten @charliemchapman Ooh, very nice! I'm much more likely to upgrade to Ferrite Pro over renewing my Adobe sub once this inevitably gets put behind Creative Suite.
@birchtree @charliemchapman yea Iām guessing they used the same tech here as with FaceTime audio processing except I think it is even better since it is a post processing task - it is something that makes exports 1000x longer and seems to be putting the iPad Pro to work when used!
@tchaten oooh, very interesting!
Matt Hauger@charliemchapman @birchtree And PremiereāIād hate if I had to bounce out to Audition every time!
chris actual@birchtree wow thatās huge
Anthony Baker@birchtree Isn't it though? Very impressed.
SuperRon08@birchtree How long do you think this will stay as free product?
@SuperRon08 I would guess just long enough to get tons of good PR š
Nathan Snelgrove@birchtree I haven't listened to this yet (working) but the promises on their website are legit impressive.
An AI tool that automatically trims a bunch of that crap from podcasts would make *good* podcasting accessible to a lot more people.
@birchtree Ok, now thatās pretty impressive. Though I stand by my critique of its aggressive reduction of high-end clarity.
@NateBarham Yeah, it's not absolutely perfect, but it really does improve poor quality audio.
I saw you post elsewhere about how it work with a good mic, and I did try that too, and it wasn't super useful. Made me a little more bassy, but also a little more like I was underwater, which is always what happens when I try to manually clean up my own audio tracks š
@birchtree Same. It did good work with mouth clicks and the like but seems to just sacrifice almost all the high end to make those gains. And it might be boosting bass just generally as well, a bit like the āshowroomā setting for TVs. That is, just boosting and cutting based on what the average person is going to think sounds good, when really it just deletes personality and nuance in favor of āCan I hear it? Yes/No.ā But @charliemchapmanās example was a shocker. Ridiculous improvement.
@birchtree that is pretty awesome - also give Appleās new voice isolation feature a try in iOS - Ferrite integrates with the new Audio Plugin and is really impressive!
