NoiseWorks Audio Announces ARA Integration for DynAssist in Pro Tools

Our Alumni from NoiseWorks Audio are pleased to announce that DynAssist, its innovative vocal and dialogue processing tool, is now fully compatible with Audio Random Access (ARA) in Pro Tools.

This integration allows users to streamline their workflow, applying intelligent dynamics

processing without the need for real-time playback.

With ARA support, DynAssist directly interacts with Pro T ools' timeline, enabling instant

analysis and processing of audio clips. This removes the need for real-time playback

during adjustments, significantly improving efficiency for music producers, mixing

engineers, and post-production professionals working in Pro Tools.

A More Efficient Approach to Vocal and Dialogue Editing

DynAssist is designed to automate key vocal processing tasks, including:

• Automatic Gain Levelling – Ensures a steady vocal performance without excessive compression.
• AI-Powered Gate Control – Intelligently reduces background noise in pauses without cutting off speech.
• Breath & Sibilance Detection – Transparently removes unwanted artifacts while preserving natural tone.
• Instrument Mode – Optimises dynamics for instruments such as drums and bass.
  
  

Unlike traditional dynamic processors that require manual automation or multiple

plug-ins, DynAssist’s ARA integration allows users to apply processing instantly, making it

a powerful time-saving tool for mixing, dialogue editing, and vocal production.

Chris Winsor, Director of Pro Tools Product Management at Avid, comments on

the Integration

"We’re excited to partner with NoiseWorks to bring ARA support for DynAssist to Pro

Tools. Not only does this integration intelligently streamline vocal and dialog editing, but

the free DynAssist Lite offering will introduce many of these tools to all Pro Tools

customers."
