Question

AI Enhance Speech - how is Capcut so much better?

I’ve been using Pr and Au for a many years. Since I record on a boat I’m often contending with background noises like wind, engine, traffic etc, and getting clarity from my speech can be a long process until I reach something vaguely acceptable. The Enhance Speech, therefore, is a potential boon to speeding up my workflow. Except it isn’t. It’s awful. It introduces so many artefacts that speech ends up sounding distorted, tinny, adds echos etc. I have never been able to use this feature in Pr for a quick clean-up. Capcut’s equivalent Enhance Voice, on the other hand, absolutely nails it every time. It’s so good that I am currently running every piece of recording through it. Of course this adds to my workflow, but I just don’t understand how a premium product like Pr can’t come close to a cheaper alternative.

 

In both cases I am not touching any settings. Both default to 75% intensity. Does anyone have any tips on using Pr’s Enhance Speech, or is this yet another Adobe AI service that just doesn’t work? (I’m looking at you, Firefly.)

 

Many thanks.

    Hi Bob,

     

    That’s certainly a lot better than Pr’s Enhance, although uploading each track isn’t the quickest solution. I’m curious to know a) why Adobe Podcast isn’t an app, and b) why the same algorithm used here can’t be implemented in Pr. Not looking for answers, just curious. Thanks for the link.
