Dialogue Doctor

Sibilance Detector

• Detect Threshold: The level above which high-frequency content is treated as sibilance.
• Gate: Ignores very quiet signals below this level to prevent false detection.
• Min Duration: Minimum event length required before processing starts.
• Release: How quickly detection fades after sibilance drops.
• Lookahead: Pre-scans incoming audio to catch fast sibilants more accurately.
• Wave Speed: Controls how quickly the detector follows waveform changes.

Harsh Moderator

• Low Hz: Lower bound of the processing frequency range.
• High Hz: Upper bound of the processing frequency range.
• Focus: Tightens or broadens emphasis inside the selected band.
• Max Cut: Maximum amount of attenuation applied to harsh content.
• Strength: Overall intensity of the harshness reduction.

Declick

• Freq Hz: Primary frequency region used for click detection.
• Sensitivity: Detection aggressiveness for short click artifacts.
• Max Len ms: Longest transient duration treated as a click.
• Strength: Amount of click reduction.
• Texture: Balances smooth repair vs. preserved detail.
• Contour Priority: During declicking, repair prioritizes continuity of the surrounding waveform contour over spectral replacement. This minimizes timbral change and favors a natural result.
• Mix: Wet/dry blend between processed and original signal.

Note: With Contour Priority ON, processing leans toward continuous contour repair, so Max Len has less impact.

Deplosive

• Low Hz: Lower bound of plosive detection/processing.
• High Hz: Upper bound of plosive detection/processing.
• Length: Time window used to suppress plosive events.
• Depth: Reduction depth applied to detected plosives.
• Detect: Detection sensitivity for plosive events.

Film / TV dialogue

Quick polish for noisy or inconsistent dialogue across takes.

Voice-over

Keep narration clear and present while staying natural.

Podcast editing

Separate sibilance and residual control across speakers.
