Description

The NoiseAssist plugin for the Sound Devices 888 with 8 instances provides the maximum real-time noise suppression available for this mixer-recorder, making it the ultimate solution for productions with multiple microphones or complex mixes. Each instance can be applied to isolated channels, buses, or a combination of both, giving mixers the flexibility to clean up every critical audio path.

NoiseAssist uses advanced multi-band frequency and statistical processing to intelligently suppress steady background noise-such as traffic, HVAC systems, or crowd ambiance-while preserving the full frequency bandwidth and natural tone of dialog. With just 1 ms latency, suppression happens transparently and in real time, adjustable between 1"20 dB to suit any environment.

Ideal for high-demand film, television, live broadcast, and streaming applications, NoiseAssist (8 Instances) ensures the Sound Devices 888 delivers pristine, broadcast-ready sound directly on location with minimal need for post-production cleanup.

Features

Maximum noise suppression power with 8 simultaneous instances running on ISO channels, mix buses, or a mix of both.

Perfect for high channel count productions such as reality TV, multi-talent shoots, or noisy on-location dialog where many mics need cleanup.

Real-time processing with only 1 ms latency, ensuring speech stays in sync and natural while suppressing background noise like HVAC, traffic, or generators.

Optimized for film and broadcast dialog, preserving full frequency bandwidth and clarity while reducing noise and reverberation.

Automatic adaptation-adjusts to new noise conditions within 5"10 seconds without manual setup.

Adjustable suppression from 1 dB to 20 dB (default 6 dB), giving fine control over how much cleanup is applied.

Compatible with 8-Series firmware v7.20 or later.

Flexible routing options let you record both "raw" and NoiseAssist-processed versions simultaneously by sending a mic signal to multiple destinations.

Works in combination with MixAssist or Dugan Automixer-clean up each mic first with NoiseAssist, then feed into automix for optimal group control.

Can be used alongside the 888's EQ and low-cut filters for even more precise sound shaping.

Professional transparency-advanced multi-band frequency and statistical algorithms separate dialog from noise with minimal artifacts.

Upgradeable licensing-if you own 2 or 4 instances, you can upgrade to 8 at a discounted rate by paying only for the additional instances.

License is tied to your 888's serial number and cannot be transferred to other units.
