NoiseWorks Audio VoiceAssist

ARA Dialogue Processing Plugin


Dialogue editing comes with a familiar set of challenges: cleaning up noisy takes, restoring clarity, managing breaths and sibilance, balancing levels, and creating consistency across recordings from different days, locations, and microphones - often under tight deadlines.

VoiceAssist was built specifically to handle these realities.

It builds on the foundation set by DynAssist and takes it further, streamlining key parts of the dialogue workflow.

VoiceAssist uses an ARA-powered analysis engine to generate automation for common tasks that slow you down.

It's not about replacing creative decisions - it's about removing the repetitive, non-creative work that gets in the way.


Cleaning and First Pass Repair

Dialogue recordings often come with background noise, room tone, or simply lack clarity.

The Clean section lets you reduce unwanted ambience quickly and clearly.

The Recover Highs function restores lost top-end detail.

The goal is to give you a clean, workable starting point without introducing artifacts.


Low End Recovery and Resonance Work

Dialogue recorded across different setups often has inconsistent low-end.

The Lowend section helps balance those differences by restoring missing weight or controlling excess buildup - without muddying the midrange.

Resonant Reduction automatically detects harsh peaks caused by room issues, mic placement, or delivery angle, and offers a single control to reduce them - saving you from manual EQ hunting.


Lowcut Control that Follows the Performance

A fixed high-pass filter doesn't always work for dynamic dialogue.

VoiceAssist gives you two options:

Manual lowcut or Pitch-tracking lowcut that follows the speaker's fundamental.

This helps remove unwanted rumble without thinning the voice.


Smart Gating for Variable Noise Floors

Different takes, different locations - different background noise.

The Gate section helps stabilize the noise floor by allowing you to adjust thresholds or define custom boundaries, making it easier to blend takes recorded under different conditions.


Automation that Reduces Setup Time

The Speed section analyzes the performance and creates level automation.

You can refine this automation directly, and your edits remain part of the result even if the overall settings change.

Targets include LUFS I and LUFS S, supporting delivery requirements in broadcast and streaming.

Catch Peaks helps control sudden spikes, reducing the load on limiters and compressors.

This approach offers a more transparent way of shaping a performance and reduces the need for large stacks of corrective plugins.


Breaths and Sibilance with More Control

Breaths and sibilance often require repetitive manual attention.

VoiceAssist lets you adjust boundaries or add your own so the processing reflects the material rather than forcing it into a preset mould.

The Sibilance section includes Spectral Sensitivity, which focuses on harsh content within the sibilant itself.

This helps avoid the flattened consonants and lisping artefacts that can occur when traditional de-essers are pushed too far.


Standalone Processing and Automation Export

Not every workflow uses ARA, and not every session stays in one DAW.

VoiceAssist includes a standalone version for offline processing and the option to export automation for use in any environment.

This supports studios where projects move between editors or between rooms with different setups.

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).

Crossgrade Proof

This crossgrade is for owners of a competing DAW. To prove your DAW ownership, we require that you upload proof in the form of an image/PDF.


Types of proof

A copy of your purchase receipt for the original license or the most recent update/upgrade

A screenshot of your product registration

A photo of your package (either CD/DVD or printed manual), with the unique serial number included in the photo.
