Waves Dugan Speech
Microphone Automixing Plugin
The Automatic Solution For Mixing Multiple Mics
When multiple participants speak in panel discussions, corporate events, talk shows, or houses of worship, this means multiple mics - and multiple problems: Feedback, comb filtering, noise, people talking over each other.
This is where the Dugan Speech auto-mixer steps in.
Developed with audio inventor Dan Dugan, Dugan Speech controls gain automatically, in real time.
Forget about the nightmares of controlling multiple microphones - now you can run up to 64 mics with complete confidence.
