How good are the accousonus ERA plugins, and are there any good alternatives for voice post production work, that can to automatic level adjustments, noise reduction, de-essing/plosives?

I'm looking for similar easy to use plugins to clean up dialogues or voice recordings. The accousonus ones look good in their ads, but there's no k'd version to try out on my hackintosh, and I'm not very experienced with noise reduction or mastering in general.

Would love some inputs!

 

mastering, hell no.. as for general work. they arent anything special.. you can do far more with nectar 3..
i have used their noise reduction stuff with success.. didnt really care for much else personally

 

I would use a software (not a plugin) like Adobe Audition to clean up and repair audio files. Then use DAW for effects, level adjustment and stuff like that

 

I agree and Izotope Nectar 3 ALM module is awesome for vocal riding task.

 

The ERA Pro stuff is very decent.
Not too fond of any one knob plugs.

But from ERA Pro the one that stood out to me at time was the deesser

As far as what your looking for there alot.
Waves vocal rider is nice tool
Waves infact has a whole series of "One Knob" along with almost any artists pack in waves they are very easy to use.

Noveltech Character is also a great tool for fast results.

Slate Digital VMR is very very fast with small curve for learning the analog interfaces but once learned very fast and very nice sound.

Sometimes just adding some saturation to a vocal track can get it where you need. Lifting out some of those more satisfying harmonics

One of my goto for saturation is Sound Toys Alter Boy. Very sexy drive
