DX Assist – Intelligent Tool for Preliminary Dialogue Editing

We are excited to announce that the program will officially launch on May 5th!
Key Features of DX Assist:


DX Assist is an advanced software solution designed for dialog editors and sound engineers, automating the initial dialogue editing process by removing non-dialogue elements from regions. With cutting-edge algorithms and support for the AAF format, DX Assist streamlines workflow, significantly reducing manual editing time.

  • Automatic Dialogue Separation – Cut regions with silence, noise, and unwanted sounds while preserving speech.

  • AAF Format Support – Processes AAF files while maintaining track organization for efficient editing.

  • Multi-Language Compatibility – Works with dialogue in multiple languages, making it ideal for global productions.

  • Adjustable Processing Parameters – Provides customizable settings to fine-tune the editing process to your needs.

  • Designed for Professionals – Optimized for film, TV, podcast, You Tube and game audio post-production.

Set parameters to fit  quality of production sound

Set a few key parameters to customize the algorithm to your needs.
‍
It is based on AI algorithms and detects human speech to cut out unwanted sounds - and you can adjust its level of precision.
‍
You can change the way it works to obtain separate words or sentences.
‍
You can add a few frames at the beginning and the end, which helps with applying fades.
‍
With the VERTICAL PROCESSING parameter, DX Assist selects the best source by removing regions with crosstalk from other microphones.

Select tracks to process.

Select the tracks you want to process. Deselect tracks with music or sounds, focusing the algorithm only on dialogues reducing processing time.
‍
You can use it on many platforms.
‍
Pro Tools, Nuendo, Samplitude or Final Cut. Just import AAF from DX Assist.

Workflows

Below is the proposed workflow  for working with an AAF containing a multi-track sound from the picture department.


Below is the workflow for a very simple dialogue scene using different parameters.


And below is an example workflow for working with material from an Assembly, after using tools like EdiLoad or Kraken.

FAQ

What is DX Assist?

DX Assist is a new software specifically designed to assist in the initial process of editing film dialogues. Its task is to remove all audio regions that do not contain speech, which significantly facilitates and speeds up the workflow before the actual dialogue editing.

Can I use DX Assist with material after Assembly from a recorder?

Yes, of course! If you want to use material with source sound after Assembly, watch our workflow video where we describe this process.

Is DX Assist the same as Strip Silence in Pro Tools?

No, DX Assist uses AI-based algorithms that can distinguish human speech from other loud sounds. It not only detects volume levels based on the provided threshold (like Strip Silence) but also relies on parameters such as RMS and frequency content of the sound. This allows for achieving much better results in separating unwanted segments of the recording.

Does DX Assist work similarly to noise reduction programs like iZotope RX or Clear?

No, DX Assist does not process sounds as such; it only makes cuts in the audio regions, leaving only those segments where human speech is detected. The remaining regions can still be extended in both directions if we want to create larger segments. This automatic segment parameter can also be set in the "parameters" section of the program.

Can DX Assist be used only in Pro Tools?

No, DX Assist works with AAF files, which are a format used for exchanging audio and video data between platforms. It is used by many programs for audio post-production as well as video editing, such as Pro Tools, Nuendo, DaVinci Resolve, and others.

Will only dialogue editors benefit from DX Assist?

Not only that. DX Assist can be successfully used by video editors and other audio-video content creators, for example, to simplify audio from the set when working with multi-track audio, to prepare source material for speech recognition, to clean up lavalier microphones in YouTube recordings, and for many other applications.

Which platforms are supported?

Our current version is fully compatible with macOS 12 (Monterey) and later, supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon processors. A Windows version is already in development and coming soon!
