Dragon dictate 6 for mac review. It is advised to use Interactive Tutorials even further, to go through exercises to practice dictation, recognition, spelling and editing options. It works with many accents, so the more you use it, the more accurate this application will become. This is when you’ll also need to create a new profile, and read a certain portions of text in order for the new voice recognition engine to learn how to recognize your voice.

Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 9.0. Sound Forge™ Audio Studio software is the easiest way to work with music and sound on your home computer. Following is a description of how I’ve transferred LPs to MP3 using the SONY PS-LX300USB turntable (purchased off-the-shelf at the local Best Buy) and Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 9.0 software (included with the turntable).

It’s a tough (audio) world out there. Sound happens.

Some of it is good and some—well, not so good. Once upon a time, any sort of blemish on a track was there forever. And equalization and gating alone can only do so much. Today, high-speed, nearly real-time analysis algorithms and state-of-the-art sonic re-creation software driven by fast CPUs can create a powerful combination, capable of audio miracles that just a few years ago would have required either hours of drudgery or excessively long computational times. The latest version of Adobe goes cross-platform for Mac or PC.

Adobe Audition for Mac, currently in public beta, is a new development (not a porting from the PC version), offering stereo or multitrack mixing/editing/recording, Native 5.1 surround support and advanced audio restoration capabilities. Functions specific to audio renewal include automatic phase correction; adaptive noise reduction (to remove noise that changes over time); click/pop repair; de-clip; and a Photoshop-style lasso tool to select/delete glitches isolated in frequency and time on a spectral frequency display. Algorithmix offers a full palette of mastering/restoration tools. Its flagship runs as a plug-in on Pyramix, Steinberg WaveLab, Pro Tools HD/Mix/LE (Mac and PC), Sequoia, Soundscape 16/32 and R.Ed, and in stand-alone mode on Windows PCs.

It uses color-spectrogram analysis to locate, isolate and remove problem spots; the removed sound is then replaced by a signal re-synthesized from the surrounding material. The company also markets two restoration plug-ins for DirectX/VST users: NoiseFree operates on broadband noise while preserving the timbre, ambience and low-level detail of the original; and ScratchFree removes clicks, crackle and scratches. Included with the Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio bundles from Apple, offers multitrack editing/looping/mixing with a variety of audio repair tools on the Macintosh platform.

Included is a Frequency Spectrum view; individual or batch correction of clicks, pops, hum and phase issues; and an advanced Noise Print function for replacing unwanted sounds with ambient noise copied from another section or file, with automatic matching and crossfades for a seamless blend. Formerly known as DINR, the Avid plug-in for Pro Tools reduces unwanted noise, such as tape hiss, guitar amplifier buzz or rumble from air-handling systems. Previously available only for TDM systems, this award-winning plug-in is now also available in the AudioSuite format for Pro Tools LE systems on Mac OS or Windows. Offered separately or included with its new Peak Pro Studio XT bundle, from BIAS offers intelligent adaptive noise-reduction with four restoration tools in a single plug-in, including new Adaptive technology for automated broadband noise removal with advanced controls for eliminating unwanted hiss, room noise, electrical hum, rumble, clicks, crackles and broadband noise with minimal artifacts. SoundSoap Pro 2 is designed for AU, RTAS/AudioSuite and VST formats for use with Mac (OS 10.3.9 and higher) and Windows (XP/Vista/Win 7) hosts.

—the first software-based, dialog noise-suppression plug-in from CEDAR—is available in RTAS format for Pro Tools HD and LE (Mac OS X and Windows), with the same audio quality and performance as the DNS1500, DNS2000 and DNS3000. A DNS Control System GUI lets users control as many instances of DNS One as the host system can support, plus up to 126 instances of DNS2000 and DNS3000. It’s fully integrated with Pro Tools’ automation and hardware control surfaces, such as the ICON, D-Control and D-Command. Is a range of AudioSuite plug-ins with advanced processes (Auto-Dehiss/Declip/Retouch/Declick/Decrackle/Dethump) tp eliminate audio degradations on the Pro Tools PC platform. All offer high-resolution processing of up to 48 tracks simultaneously. Known for its extensive mastering, restoration, analysis and surround sound Virtual Precision Instruments (VPIs) for its AudioCube 24-bit/192kHz multichannel DAW, Cube-Tec now also offers.
