Dialogue Match

My first product release at iZotope is finally available! Dialogue Match is a Pro Tools AudioSuite plug-in that learns the reverb, EQ, and ambience data of a dialogue recording. After learning, it can apply that profile to other dialogue recordings to make them match. My part in Dialogue Match was mostly working on the Reverb module, which is based on Exponential Audio‘s reverb technology. I implemented an Exponential Audio reverb algorithm in iZotope’s codebase, tested and listened to it, and built the user interface in the final product.

Megaverb—New Goodhertz Plugin

After a long wait, we have finally released a new plugin at Goodhertz! Megaverb is a gritty reverb based on 1980s digital reverbs, with intuitive controls and a gate for easy gated reverb fun. We had Jennifer Hsu interning with us over the summer, and she took the reverb in Lossy and expanded it into a full-fledged plugin.

I was involved in the design of the Gate section in Megaverb, especially the transient based detection mode and the overall gate smoothing and character. I also added the metering for Gate Sensitivity, helped with documentation, and sang two bars from “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” for a demo on the product page.
