Not so much a feature request as much as a thank you for this tool! I shot an event recently that had music playing loudly on speakers, and it was audible in both the shotgun mic and lav mic and I was really concerned about how I was going to make that audio work in the edit, but there was literally nothing I could do about it on the day. Enter: fixing it in post. The Enhance Speech feature in Adobe Podcast removed the background music like it was nothing and left the voices sounding natural! I am amazed, and forever grateful! Thank you to the team who built this - keep up the excellent work!! (And higher ups, please never kill this feature, it’s a real life saver!)

    Yes, same. I find that experimenting with the voice slider will dial in what I need, a balance between adequate repair and degradation. For instance increasing enhancement will start to cut off small plosives. De-essing, how and when in the slider does that start happening, and what is being done with the voice  more specifically. It sounds like some entire words are changed- or a problem but the more we understand the more effectively we can use this powerful tool.

    I see how after a certain amount of enhancement the voice gets metallic or synthesized sounding. Again, not a problem but the more we understand the better we can work with it.   

    Some sort of discussion or documentation of how it works would be very useful so it’s not guess and check in unknown territory, each one of the thousands of users creating their own manual  via OJT. It would optimize our hourly use of this tool also, likely decreasing our time on it.
