  • Adaptive Hum Removal – Remove fundamental hum frequencies from problem audio
  • Clip Gain – Non-destructively balance audio sources against each other
  • Updated UI – A cleaner and flatter look designed especially with ease of use and long sessions in mind

The Advanced edition rolls out with:

  • Leveler – Automatic balancing of vocals, dialogue and voiceovers.
  • Ambience Match – Match the environment noise of one clip and apply to another! You can also create long sections of ambient noise to apply under inconsistent recording
  • Loudness – Comprehensive loudness meters ensuring that all your work will comply with the new(ish) international loudness standards
  • EQ Match – The same thinking as Ambience Match, but with EQ! Quickly learn the EQ of one clip and apply it to another clip

Also included in both versions are exporting marker regions as files, FLAC and Ogg Vorbis codec export support. updated timeline ruler that displays original recorded source timecode, support for 24fps timecode, and the ability to display ID3 tags and Broadcast WAV metadata.
