Note: this is an upgrade for owners of Acoustica 8 Standard only, other purchase paths can be found here.

The Definitive Toolkit for Surgical Precision and Sonic Perfection

Acoustica 8 is a complete audio editing, restoration and mastering platform — a standalone application backed by a full plugin suite. Buy it once, keep it forever.

Put simply, version 8 is the biggest leap forward Acoustica has taken to date. New machine learning under the hood isn't here to make the calls for you — it's here to take the boring and mundane work out of restoration, so the hours you used to spend on repetitive processes can now go into making the important creative decisions.  

Acoustica has been in continuous development for twenty-five years: with countless free updates, responsive support, and a team that ships tools which actually change your workflow, not a fresh coat of paint on the old one.

Choose Standard for a powerful entry point, Premium for the complete toolkit, or Ultimate for full post-production control — either way, you get serious audio software at a price that makes sense.

Rescue, Polish, Master

Acoustica 8 covers the full restoration and editing chain in a single platform. Better still, many of the features work in real time.

RESCUE - Clicks, pops, hum, hiss, rustle, room rumble, lav mic clothing noise, the fridge compressor on a location shoot, the cough during the wedding vows. Our new updated restoration plugins handle the everyday damage that ends up in working sessions, with new AI-powered DeNoise 3 and DeHum for cleaner results on dialogue, ambience and music alike.

REPAIR - The Spectral Editor handles what the broadband tools can't. Surgically remove dog barks, sirens, string squeaks, page turns, and an off-camera cough. Stereo-view spectrograms with hue-encoded stereo positioning let you see exactly what you're working on. Time and frequency feathering makes every repair sit naturally inside the source material.

ISOLATE - Extract:Dialogue 2 pulls speech from difficult recordings with more precise, targeted control than the previous version. Useful when you've inherited a session, when the boom failed, or when the only usable take has the wrong noise floor.

EDIT - Our new AudioFill feature delivers Improved interpolation and retouch algorithms now fill larger time regions with intelligently generated content. The kind of repair that used to mean reaching for a different tool or accepting a compromise.

MASTER - Support for immersive formats up to 9.1.6. A redesigned, customisable interface. Dockable processing tools. The full chain from source audio to finished master, in one place.
