Enhance Speech v2 is here!

v2 doesn't seem to recognize the entire vocal correctly, leading to a lot of 'drop outs'--moments where the audio cuts back and forth between enhanced and un-enhanced audio. I like the warmer sound of v2's enhanced audio--I'd just like to be able to extend it to the whole track. Otherwise the end result is filled with tantalizing moments of how great it could be, but ultimately it is not usable.

v1 recognizes all of the vocal, but I like the warmer v2 sound. Are there any ways to help v2 recognize all of the vocal? I tried adding some light background noise to heighten the contrast and help v2 distinguish between voice and background, but it didn't work.

Also, could this feedback be addressed in potential updates / in a potential v3 someday? Should I submit a copy of this using the Contact Us link, or by posting here it might be relayed to the relevant team? Thank you 🙏

The last day, I have been getting enhance fails messages v1 and v2.

1. Why do I keep receiving those failure messages (it's the first time I've received them)

In addition, what is the reason for using my credit if it is a failed enhancement?

Does anyone have experience with this behavior

Hi Harmony,

v2 has been impressive and flawless for our use case.

The 4 hours are limiting for us for the amount of speech we need to process. Is there a roadmap on v2 to run in Premiere or as a standalone plugin on our own machines? I imagine this probably requires a large GPU.

Thank you.

Adjusting the settings (moving the sliders) doesn't affect the recording at all. Am I correct in understanding that the sound should change when I adjust settings during playback? I don't hear any difference. It feels like the same file is playing. It's about both v1 and v2.

Adobe Podcast Enhance Speech is truly incredible, it cleans audio while leaving the human touch and means we save hours in post. I have one question - is there a way to define the specs of the wav file? I enhanced a mono recording of an interview which was at 96 khz and 24 bit, it came back as 48khz 16 bit. It still sounds great but would be even better if it could return a file that has the same specs as the original. Just so it would fit into the Pro Tools workflow we've been using.

Dear Adobe Team,

As a long-time Creative Suite subscriber, I’m deeply disappointed by your recent decision to charge separately for a service that has long been included with the subscription. This change feels like a disservice to your loyal customers, who already pay substantial fees for access to your software.

Does Adobe really need to impose additional charges on paying subscribers? It’s hard not to view this as an unnecessary and excessive monetization effort that undermines the trust of your user base.

I urge you to reconsider this decision. Alienating your dedicated customers for short-term profits is a risky strategy, and I wouldn’t be surprised if many choose to leave as a result. Please prioritize the value you provide to your subscribers rather than finding new ways to charge them.

Hi! It sounds great! But when I go to download the enhanced file, it's currently only downloading the original, un-enhanced file. Any clues on how to fix this?

I wasn't aware there was a Version 2, but suddenly noticed my enhanced audio isn't as good. It doesn't sound much better or as "cosy" as before, and tends to eliminate laughter. 

Do Adobe read these messages? Lots of complaints, so are they aware? I'd come to rely on V1 for my podcast audio, but V2 doesn't even level the audio to an acceptable midrange. It's very bad. Or probably only works for BAD audio, but I liked how it made things sound more uniform before the update. 

Sometimes V2 has worked better for me, but am I the only one who notices that there is barely any difference between 1% processing and 100%?  I have Premium Access, but sliding the strength bar yields barely a change once I get past 1%, with a huge jump between 0% and 1%.

Thank you all for your thoughtful and candid feedback on Enhance Speech v2! We truly appreciate it and hear you loud and clear. Based on the feedback we’ve received, we’re working to allow free users to be able to select between using v1 and v2, which should be available early in the new year. Stay tuned for more updates!
