What VEA does
The plugin is built on audio enhancement technology that iZotope developed for RX, Ozone and Nectar, and it applies that technology to spoken and sung recordings.
The Clean module reduces background sounds so that a recording made in a room with noise sounds more even. Shape is used to polish the tone of a voice, and Boost adds presence to a voice that sits back in the mix. A separate Audiolens section lets a user add a target audio clip from any source, then visualize, compare and replicate its character. The workspace can be personalized with two color palettes, which helps tell apart the controls for two speakers in one session.
Key features
- Clean noise reduction. The Clean module reduces background sounds in a recording, so that a voice recorded in an unfinished room or on a noisy interface sounds more consistent.
- Boost for presence. Boost adds presence to a voice, which is useful when a vocal sits behind the other elements of a mix.
- Audiolens target matching. Audiolens takes a target audio clip from any source, shows its character on screen, and lets the user compare it with the recording and replicate it.
- Two color palettes. The workspace offers two distinct color palettes, so the controls for two speakers can be differentiated in a session with an interview or a duet.
