AI in sound post is getting seriously good!
Noise reduction. Dialogue cleanup. Transcription. Voice/background separation.
Work that used to take hours can now happen surprisingly fast.
But cleaner sound isn’t always better sound.
Push noise reduction too far and voices start sounding unnatural.
Clean a location recording too aggressively and you lose the room with it.
That’s where AI works best right now:
Let AI handle the repetitive work.
Let experienced ears decide when to stop.
