Acoustica 8 Premium is a standalone audio editing, restoration, and mastering platform with a full plugin suite, featuring AI-powered noise reduction, spectral editing, stem separation, and immersive format support.
Complete Audio Workstation
Acoustica 8 Premium is a standalone application for audio editing, restoration, and mastering, backed by a comprehensive plugin suite. It is designed as an all-in-one platform covering the entire production chain, from initial cleanup to final master. The software emphasizes real-time processing for many features, allowing for immediate feedback during work.
The redesigned interface is customizable and dockable, streamlining workflow across different tasks. Premium includes all Standard edition features and adds advanced tools available as DAW plugins, extending its utility beyond the standalone environment. This edition targets serious working sessions where finer control and precise repair are essential.
AI-Powered Restoration and Repair
Restoration tools address common audio damage like clicks, pops, hum, hiss, rustle, and room rumble. DeNoise 3 uses machine learning to clean dialogue, ambience, and music, while DeHum targets hum specifically. These plugins are updated and integrated for faster turnaround on typical session noise.
The Spectral Editor handles surgical repairs beyond broadband tools, such as removing dog barks, sirens, string squeaks, or page turns. It offers stereo-view spectrograms with hue-encoded positioning for precise work. Time and frequency feathering helps edits sit naturally, and the improved interpolation and retouch algorithms now fill larger time regions with intelligently generated content.
Dialogue Isolation and Stem Separation
Extract Dialogue 2 provides targeted control for isolating speech from difficult recordings, useful when inheriting sessions, dealing with boom failures, or managing unfavorable noise floors. This feature is part of a full Dialogue Cleaning Suite included in Premium, which also offers tools as DAW plugins.
Remix performs real-time stem separation, dissecting complete mixes into five distinct stems: vocals, piano, bass, drums, and other. Powered by AI, this feature supports creative remixing or rebalancing. The Drum Production Suite further enhances workflow with intuitive controls, per-stem automation, and real-time processing, replacing manual editing tasks with efficient precision.
Mixing, Mastering, and Surround
The Mix & Mastering Suite includes six audio processing plugins: Dynamics, Multiband Dynamics, Equalize, Limit, Verberate, and Dither. These tools handle the final polish, covering dynamic control, equalization, limiting, reverb, and dithering. The full chain from source audio to finished master can be completed within the platform.
Premium supports immersive formats up to 7.1.2 channel surround, enabling work on spatial audio projects. The combination of standalone tools, plugin availability, and real-time processing makes Acoustica 8 Premium suitable for professional-grade results in editing, restoration, and mastering workflows.
