Question

The audio quality produced in v2 is worse.

I feel that the change from v1 to v2 has resulted in a decrease in the audio quality I produce. Is there a way to downgrade the version from https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance?

When I first tested this on release, I was blown away, using some on-camera recorded audio of a speech at an event that wasn't even meant to be used, to being able to actually use that audio in a final client video. Now the Enhance audio in Premiere is absolutely unusable. I've attempted enhancement on every quality of speech audio recording: on-camera mic, lav mic, shotgun mic, SM7B in a vocal booth, close up, far away, iPhone, and in every scenario, even enhancement at its lowest setting produces warbles, gargles, shakiness, artificial noises, unpleasant ducking. I have listened through studio monitors, airpod pro's, flat eq wired headphones, this isn't the issue. This enhacement tool wasn't just worstened, it is unusable. Not enough for me to stop using Premiere, but I edit through 20+ hours of raw footage a week, and it would be very nice to have an enhancment tool that could actually salvage bad audio, or even better take well recorded audio and make it sound incredible, when there is absolutely the raw data there to do so, and so much usuable AI speech enhacment software available on the market. I pay a lot for Adobe software subscription; I hope to see this feature reworked and built into Premiere. I understand you can use V1 online, but I have far too much footage to process weekly for exporting/enhacing/reimporting/syncing audio to be a practical workflow.

No, V2 Is Better, Cuz V2 Has Better voice quality of all time, V1 Sounds Too Unrealistic, and very Low Quality!

Great if V2 works so well for you. I and the others in this thread see it differently. For me, V2 is a clear step backwards; see the posts above for the reasons. It has been discussed in detail. And this is confirmed for me again and again; since my last post I have tried V2 as well as V1, but the results of V2 have always been completely unusable. And yes, V1 is not a miracle tool either and I only use it in the minimum strength range, maximum 20, but it often produces good effects that make a small difference.
