Supertone releases a FREE public beta of Goyo Voice Separator, a voice separation plugin for macOS and Windows.
Goyo Voice Separator is a plugin that aims to provide an easy way to balance your audio or remove unwanted noise while maintaining a natural-sounding vocal.
Any plugin that can convincingly remove unwanted ambient noise or separate individual elements of an audio track is a pretty amazing thing. By convincingly, I mean removing the bad without taking most of the good with it or removing a vocal to create a backing track that doesn’t sound warped and mangled beyond recognition.
There’s no shortage of plugins offering these functions, but their effectiveness is widely varied from one to another.
Earlier this year, Bertom Audio released Denoiser Classic, a free alternative to Denoiser Pro, and that seemed to be very well received.
There are also the heavy hitters, the iZotope’s industry standard RX. I have always liked RX, and it’s helped me out multiple times, but for anyone who isn’t an expert in this specific task, like myself, RX also makes it easy to be too heavy-handed and do more harm than good.
So, at first sight, Goyo’s fool-proof design should save time and frustration for many users on many tasks.
Goyo splits your audio into three channels, namely Ambience, Voice, and Voice Reverb:
- Ambience: Everything other than the voice.
- Voice: Just the voice.
- Voice Reverb: The room sound and other spatial artifacts associated with the voice.
Goyo lets you de-noise, de-voice, and de-reverb from a straightforward interface, making it a sort of all-in-one plugin despite its simple design.
If you check out the website, you can listen to vocal examples from different environments, like a subway station, outdoor speech, and a basketball court. You can toggle each channel on/off during the examples to hear Goyo in action, and it definitely shows some early promise.
Goyo is still in the Beta stage, and if you want to try it for yourself, you’ll have to sign up with your email address.
If you ever spend any time trying to separate vocals or clean up background noise for podcasts, etc., you’ll know it can be very tedious. If Goyo makes it any easier to get good results, it’s worth checking out.
Goyo Voice Separator is available in AU, VST, VST3, and AAX formats for macOS (10.15 upwards) and Windows (10 upwards).
