Free Audio Cleanup: VoiceAssist Updates Simplify Vocal Editing for Creators and LUNA Users

Streamline Your Audio: Free Vocal Cleanup Tools for Podcasters and Creators

Achieving polished audio is fundamental for engaging content, yet common issues like distracting mouth clicks or inconsistent vocal levels can derail a listener's experience. New updates from NoiseWorks Audio aim to simplify these challenges, offering significant enhancements to its VoiceAssist plugin that benefit both advanced audio engineers and Universal Audio LUNA users.

These developments provide practical solutions for anyone involved in podcast production, video voiceovers, or any project requiring pristine vocal and dialogue tracks, making professional audio cleanup more accessible and efficient for content creators and businesses alike.

Eliminating Distracting Mouth Clicks Automatically

Mouth clicks, caused by saliva, dry lips, or tongue movements, are a frequent and often frustrating problem in vocal and dialogue recordings. Manually removing these sharp transients can be a time-consuming and tedious process, significantly extending post-production timelines for creators.

VoiceAssist Advanced users now receive a free Mouth De-Click feature designed to tackle this issue automatically. This intelligent tool detects and reduces mouth clicks across an entire recording, ensuring that the natural character of the voice and critical consonants remain unaffected.

The feature provides intuitive controls, including a Sensitivity dial to adjust detection aggressiveness and a Detection HP filter to target higher-frequency transients precisely. Furthermore, a dedicated automation lane for Sensitivity allows engineers to fine-tune reduction intensity, adapting to varying levels of mouth noise throughout a take.

Streamlined Vocal Levelling for Universal Audio LUNA Users

In a move to empower more creators, NoiseWorks Audio is now offering VoiceAssist Basic free of charge to all current and future Universal Audio LUNA users. This provides a powerful levelling engine that can dramatically improve vocal consistency in recordings.

Unlike conventional real-time gain riders, VoiceAssist Basic's levelling engine analyzes the entire recording before making adjustments. It then generates editable automation, offering a more transparent and precise outcome for consistent vocal levels across your content.

This intelligent approach results in a natural-sounding vocal performance without abrupt gain changes.
LUNA users also receive a 10% discount when upgrading to VoiceAssist Standard or Advanced. These tiers unlock additional powerful features like AI gating, breath control, de-essing, denoising, de-reverb, and low-end restoration for comprehensive audio refinement.

Broader Applications for Enhanced Content

The benefits of these VoiceAssist updates extend far beyond traditional podcasting, offering immense value across various content creation workflows. Video producers can ensure pristine dialogue for documentaries, marketing videos, and online courses, enhancing viewer engagement and clarity.

Educators preparing lectures or instructional videos can guarantee clear, professional audio, eliminating distractions and improving learning outcomes. Similarly, businesses using voiceovers for advertising, presentations, or internal communications will find these tools invaluable for maintaining a polished, authoritative sound. These tools collectively reduce friction in audio storytelling across all media.

Compatibility and Availability

NoiseWorks Audio's VoiceAssist plugin is available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats, ensuring broad compatibility with popular digital audio workstations. It supports macOS version 13.0 or later on Apple Silicon, alongside Windows 10 64-bit systems.

Both the free Mouth De-Click feature for VoiceAssist Advanced users and the complimentary VoiceAssist Basic license for Universal Audio LUNA users are available immediately. These updates represent a significant step in making professional audio cleanup more accessible and efficient for content creators everywhere.
