Even before NAB 2024 opened in Las Vegas, Blackmagic Design announced DaVinci Resolve 19, a major new update to its software suite which adds new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, over 100 feature upgrades such as IntelliTrack AI, Ultra NR noise reduction, multi source editing, new Fairlight AI audio panning to video, ducker track FX, and ambisonic surround sound, plus new features in Blackmagic Cloud for large customers.

Steinberg released a new version of Nuendo, the company’s most complete DAW software, offering advanced features that traditionally focus on post-production for film, TV, game audio and now also immersive sound production.

Among the many announcements of more hardware purposely designed for broadcast and content production operations, at the NAB 2022 Show in Las Vegas, German company Lynx Technik AG unveiled a new hardware module in its renowned yellobrik series, that features Artificial Intelligence from Audionamix.

Waves Audio offers some of the world's leading professional audio signal processing technologies and plugins, but it's hard to notice how different or good these tools actually are, since Waves basically only highlights the discounts, even when it's something completely new. Among the recent announcements, Waves launched Clarity Vx Pro and Clarity Vx, two real-time noise removal plugins for voice and dialogue, powered by the company's AI audio technology, Waves Neural Networks.

Audionamix, the software company specializing in audio source separation, introduced its new Instant Dialogue Cleaner (IDC) plug-in, its first real-time, cloudless solution. IDC offers unique and effective dialogue cleaning technology through an intuitive interface, and is compatible with many post-production and broadcast workflows.
