Inside your DAW, the Photon ARA plugin brings the full engine to your timeline. No choice overload, just drag, drop, dial, and deliver.

From prepping a karaoke mix to cutting background music in your content, this is your most straightforward separator for voice and music.
Denoise
Real-world audio is never perfect. Echoey rooms, rush hour streets, windy hills, tinny calls - distractions are everywhere.
Thankfully, no matter where you hit record, there’s a cleanup model for you.

Just pick the model that matches the environment, set the processing strength, and take recordings from cloudy to clear.
Voice Restore
Podcast guest sitting too far away? Muffled mic talk from your livestream? Traffic noise in your interview a little too loud?
Voice Restore gives you the control to enhance speech and handle noise, levels, mic tone, and echo.
Keep the context you need and make sure every word is heard, loud and clear.
