Updated modules & new Analyze function
Acon Digital's all-in-one restoration plug-in has just been updated, and now boasts an Analyze button that allows it to automatically identify issues and present users with a set of modules and settings tailored to their source material.
Once Restoration Suite 3 has been loaded onto a track, users can simply click the Analyze button and play a few seconds of their audio, and Restoration Suite will identify the likes of broadband noise, hum, clicks and pops. It then loads up a chain of modules that are pre-configured to tackle the detected problems. Acon Digital say that it's capable of detecting useful production sound - such as footsteps, Foley and doors - and leaving them intact, meaning that it complements their Extract:Dialogue 2 plug-in rather than serving as a replacement.
In addition to being available as an individual product, the Restoration Suite 3 plug-in is also now included in the company's recently released Acoustica 8 Premium and Ultimate Editions.
Four Updated Modules
DeNoise 3: A new machine learning-powered Automatic mode removes hiss, broadband noise, wind, buzz and camera noise with no noise profile needed. Manual mode remains in place for unusual or complex noise.
DeHum 3: Automatic mode detects and removes hum and buzz from poor grounding or electrical motors. Precision mode follows hum that drifts in pitch, and Notch mode offers a low-CPU, zero-latency option.
DeClick 3: Removes clicks, pops, surface crackle, data drop-outs and plosive thumps, rebuilding damaged audio from the clean signal around it. Now with a streamlined interface.
DeClip 3: Reconstructs peaks flattened by analogue or digital clipping while keeping the original tone. One click detects the clipping level, and a level histogram shows what will be restored. Also now with a refreshed UI.
High-quality audio repair is now easier than ever. With Restoration Suite 3 you just click Analyse, play your audio, and we build the right repair chain for you. Experienced engineers still have full control, but they start from a solid starting point instead of a blank slate. - Joel Heatley, CEO, Acon Digital
Compatibility Restoration Suite 3 is supported on PCs running Windows 10 or later, and Macs running macOS 10.13 and above. VST3, AU and AAX plug-in versions are available.
Pricing & Availability Restoration Suite 3 is available now, and is being offered at an introductory price of $68 until 17 November 2026, when it will increase to its full cost of $99. During the introductory offer period, owners of Restoration Suite 2 can upgrade for $33 (usually $49).
