Getting consistent, professional audio for YouTube and video content often requires juggling compressors, levelers, and de-essers. DynAssist by Noiseworks Audio simplifies that process with an all-in-one plugin that targets common vocal issues—loud breaths, uneven volume, sibilance, and background noise—while helping you hit platform loudness standards like -14 LUFS.
Key Features
- Vocal Leveler: Automatically targets your loudness goal, keeping volume consistent.
- AI Noise Gate: Smart gating that reduces background noise between speech lines.
- Breath Attenuator: Softens loud breaths by up to 12 dB without removing them.
- Sibilance Control: Tames harsh “S” and “T” sounds up to 6 dB.
The interface is user-friendly, and setup is simple: insert the plugin, analyze your audio, and play it back. It writes automation for each adjustment, allowing for manual tweaks if needed.
Real-World Test
In testing, DynAssist smoothed vocal levels, reduced sibilance, and brought audio within 3 dB of the target LUFS. One loud breath was missed, but the automation was easy to correct. The plugin performed well within DaVinci Resolve’s Fairlight tab, and default settings were effective with minimal adjustment.
Verdict
At $150, DynAssist isn’t cheap, but it offers major time savings for creators who frequently work with dialogue.
It’s especially useful for YouTubers, educators, and podcasters seeking quick, loud, and polished audio without deep technical tweaking.
For most users, it’s a near plug-and-play solution to voice clarity and platform loudness.
