Re: [Avid-L2] Isolating Dialogue with M&E?

I too use iZotope RX 10 Dialog Isolate. It's pretty good but only available as part of their $1200 Advanced bundle/version. Izotope often has sales, but that's a chunk of change. OTOH, the Advanced version provides a lot of good tools.

So two other options:

DaVinci Resolve Voice Isolation in the Studio (ie- $300 USD version).

I don't have any experience with that, but I'm sure you can google up more info.

Extract:Dialog from Acorn Digital

Some post audio pals really like this plug-in. They just released version 1.5, it's available as AU, VST, VST3 or AAX. The developer(s) seem really responsive. And it's only $99 USD. Worth checking out, IMO:

I was asked by a producer who has old masters that have been digitized with stereo mix and M&E stems if there is a way to get just the sound bit dialogue clean.  Of course the "AI" term was thrown in to the mix as part of the question.  I don't have the file yet but was thinking about the old invert the phase, like noise cancelling headphones, to cancel the M&E audio during the sound bites.  Anybody got any suggestions for voodoo audio tech to strip out just the dialogue from a full mix?
