This is clearly a program that is designed not only for a rapid, no-nonsense workflow, but also creative versatility and accuracy. Right away, you get a sense of the power and audio editing potential of Acoustica. Along the bottom of the interface, you have a Media File Browser, a Processing Chain module and a Loudness Meter / Spectrum Analyser module. After dragging-and-dropping the file into Acoustica, a waveform visualizer appears (this can also be viewed as a spectrogram), with various sound specifications below.

To truly put this product to the test, I found a few samples with moderate amounts of artefacts and background noise. It’s worth noting that purchasing these plugins individually would set you back around twice as much as Acoustica Premium, so the value for money here is pretty remarkable. Another huge bonus of the Premium Edition is the inclusion of Acon Digital’s incredibly powerful, acclaimed VST / AU plugins Verberate 2, Equalize 2, Restoration Suite 2 and their Mastering Suite. The Premium Edition also includes other advanced features such as spectral editing with retouch algorithms and multi-channel support up to 7.1 surround. The Premium edition includes a new Extract Dialogue tool, an automated tool for removing pesky background noise from dialogue. Both these downloads include the Acoustica software and a highly innovative new Remix tool for intelligent stem separation.
