Acon Digital has officially released Extract:Dialogue 2, a major update to its dialogue restoration and processing plugin designed for film, television, streaming content, and professional post-production workflows. The new version introduces a redesigned interface and expanded feature set, significantly streamlining speech cleanup while improving visual clarity and control.
One of the standout additions is real-time intelligent dereverberation, which effectively reduces room reflections without compromising vocal clarity or natural tone. Each audio element — dialogue, noise, and ambience — is now handled independently, with dedicated equalizer sections and a mixer-style interface for precise level control.
Built Around Real-World Audio Post Needs
According to Acon Digital, the development of Extract:Dialogue 2 involved close collaboration with dialogue editors, ADR mixers, and re-recording engineers. Feedback from real production environments highlighted recurring challenges such as excessive room reverb, tonal degradation, and the need to chain multiple plugins to achieve clean results.
Extract:Dialogue 2 addresses these issues within a single, integrated tool, allowing professionals to preserve the character of the original recording while enhancing its technical quality for final delivery.
