Sound Radix has announced the release of Auto Align Post v2.1 which introduces Adobe Premiere compatibility to streamline the workflows for users of the popular video editing software.
Auto-Align® Post has saved dialogue editors days of tedious work and delivered outstanding quality dialogue in countless major films and TV shows.
The Engineering Emmy Award winning software enables dynamic time-alignment correction of moving location microphones, which makes it possible to effectively mix the boom and lav microphones by eliminating comb-filtering and phase artifacts caused by the time-of-arrival differences, with just a few clicks.
The last update (v2) took a significant step forward by introducing a new spectral phase correction module, refined algorithm, and user interface. Paul Maunder submitted it as one of his choices for our 2022 Dream Studio Advent Calendar, read his reasons why here.
Now, with v2.1, Auto-Align® Post includes a new native Adobe Premiere Pro extension along with AAX for Pro Tools and universal ARA2-VST3 plugins for compatible DAWs such as Nuendo, StudioOne, and others. The update also brings M1 and Apple Silicon compatibility.
Of the announcement, Sound Radix Founder Nir Averbuch said, "We're happy to empower Adobe Premiere Pro professionals with a native version of Auto-Align Post 2, saving the time needed for a roundtrip export to an external audio workstation. This continues our effort to help achieve rich, high-quality dialogue sound users have grown to expect from Sound Radix."

Highlights of Auto-Align® Post 2
Spectral Phase Correction Module
In an effort to deliver a clean recording from a location set, a recorder may engage a high-pass filter on the boom mic to filter out low-frequency rumbles such as street or AC noise. However, electronic high-pass filters induce a phase shift to the signal, which can result in a significant loss of low-end and ‘body’ of the dialogue when mixed with a non-filtered mic.
The Spectral Phase Correction Module detects and dynamically corrects frequency-dependent phase shifts to achieve significantly improved spectral alignment and richer sound.
Improved Algorithm
Improved by iterations, Auto-Align® Post’s core algorithm was further refined to deliver better overall results.
Spectral Correlation Meter [AAX]
Provides a detailed multi-band frequency correlation view.
ARA2 Compatibility
