Sonible prime:vocal review: Is it worth it for podcast and other dialog editors?
Sonible’s new prime:vocal plugin aims to be an all-in-one solution for voice processing, combining noise reduction, room reduction, vocal cleanup, spectral balance, and dynamics. But does it live up to their hype? In this video, I put prime:vocal to the test with real-world use cases, comparing it to industry-leading tools like Accentize dxRevive Pro and Cedar Audio VoicEx. From challenging audio with heavy noise and reverb to minimal cleanup tasks, I’ll show you where this plugin excels—and where it falls short.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• An overview of Prime:vocal’s features and standalone editor performance
• Audio comparisons on severe noise and reverb cases as well as a clip that needs only minor enhancements
• Real-world performance tests against other noise and reverb reduction tools
• My honest thoughts on its strengths, weaknesses, and workflow compatibility
