Acon Digital Media has announced Acoustica Premium 4. The software for professional audio editing and mastering extends the standard version of the full-featured audio editor Acoustica with support for multichannel audio formats such as 5.1 and 7.1 surround. Additionally, the integrated CD burner in Acoustica Premium 4 provides control over the details of audio CD productions, such as pause lengths, index markers and CD-TEXT fields.
The processing tools from the following Acon Digital Media plug-in suites are integrated in Acoustica Premium 4, providing a simplified workflow and a large range of professional quality tools for mastering and sound design:
- Studio Clean (VST and DirectX) – Audio restoration tools, including noise reduction, click and crackle reduction, restoration of clipped audio recordings and high frequency harmonic synthesis (gives new life to dull sounding recordings).
- Studio Time (DirectX) – Professional quality time stretching and pitch shifting (transposition of key).
- Studio Necessities (VST and DirectX) – Mastering and sound design tools, including equalizer, dynamic processing, limiter, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser and multi-tap delay.
Acon Digital Media has released Studio Time, a collection of plug-ins for time scale and pitch modifications that integrate with software supporting DirectX plug-ins. It consists of the following plug-ins:
- StudioTime, a time scale modification (time stretching) plug-in
- StudioPitch, a pitch modification plug-in that allows pitch shifts with optional tempo and timbre preservation
Both plug-ins are based on Acon Digital Media’s time scale modification technology. The algorithm is not limited to one special type of audio material like many other existing algorithms and works well for both rhythmical and tonal audio material as well as for complete mixes, according to the company.
The plug-ins support multi-channel audio up to eight channels, including 5.1 and 7.1 surround formats. Both PCM formats (up to 32 bit resolution) and floating point (IEEE 32 bit) formats are supported.
Price and Availability
Studio Time is available for $119.00 (USD) via electronic software delivery. A demonstration version and audio examples are available online.
