Dialog 2

About

Dialog 2 is a dynamics plugin by Wave Arts. Dialog combines in one plugin the processing used to clean up, adjust, and sweeten recordings of the spoken voice. It includes brickwall filters, hum and buzz removal, broadband noise reduction, de-plode, de-ess, a 10-band equalizer, a compressor, and a limiter. Each section has its own presets, and the plugin has a master preset manager.

What it sounds like

The brickwall filters have variable rolloff slopes and can cut low or high frequency ranges. The de-hum processor uses notch filters to remove 10 harmonics of 50 Hz or 60 Hz hum. The de-noise processor uses the MR Noise algorithm with a simplified interface.
