Improve ANY audio - Adobe Enhance Speech v2 is INSANE!

In this video we are giving a test to a brand new feature from Adobe - Adobe Enhance Speech v2. You may remember that I have tested v1 a wile back ago - and whilst the results were good - they were still very patchy at times and further work was needed. This however is the next level of good.

Let me know in the comments below what results you got from giving it a test run!

Ever since you first introduced this (v1 at the time), I started recording (audio books mostly) sitting on my chair in our living room, the TV or radio on lightly in the background, neighborhood traffic outside, the kids going back and forth and even the neighbor's dogs barking once in a while, and... EVERY single time, with NO processing, my recordings pass ALL ACX specs!

I tested this tool online. I thought the results were really good considering how much background noise it removes. Only my voice did sound a bit robotic with speech enhacement, and because I only had the free version, I couldn't adjust the strength. It's really good though, and I'm impressed.

[steprockmedia]

Good stuff, Mike. I've been using podcast v1 for about a year and it's been awesome.
BUT you're right - it often adds bass and other EQ I didn't need.

[santaBarbaraCyclist]

I just renewed my "All Apps" Adobe subscription, I can't live with the audio editing alternatives!

[MarkDHall]

For those who aren't premium members, we don't have the strength slider available. From the sound of a test file, I'm guessing the strength is set to 100%.

[Steveoaudioandstuff]

You used exactly the right word - INSANE!

[AnimalTV-flxe]

OMG - Amazing! Some wag came back to me with a piece of video audio with interviewer loud and the interviewee super quiet. Obviously, if you turn it up to hear the interviewee, you get LOUD INTERVIEWER and hissy interviewee. But I uploaded it like you suggested and - wow! Saved me so much time - and you can't even tell.. I've already liked this video - can I like it again?

[diederik]

For me i noticed it made my thin sounding webcam audio into a really nice podcast mix - with a lot more emphasis on bass which previously wasnt really there!

Thanks for sharing this, Mike!
I'm going to go test this tomorrow (Monday). There's a tattoo shop right next door to my computer repair shop (where I'm also set up for recording my content) and even when their music is not very loud, it still bleeds through the sheetrock wall between our two units, and even with various tips you've shown on your channel, I can't get a clean, usable quality recording, for videos I record where I am (or at least my voice is) on camera. I didn't like the (mild, but noticeable) "electronic warble/flutter" that Enhance Speech v1 added to my voice, but this v2 model really seems to be up at a whole new level of quality.
Can you imagine what they might be able to do by the time they have v3...?!? I can see them potentially adding some basic EQ or other adjustments to this tool, or even sound effects right into the tool, so if we DO want to add a bit more bass, or sparkle, or other tonal qualities to our recording, that they could add sliders or switches to be able to do that.

Genius Ai product and thanks for covering it! However, how could one improve adobe enchance speech even further? example, effects that works well before or after using the AI tool.

I say this is Very amazing if you are either having a Bad Mic, or trying to Recover Old Video audio,

but it is kinda sad its not a Live thing, what i mean is instead of recording, we can just say it in the Machine Live Action, so when we live stream, the Microphone audio would go along the way, especially on Phone mics as well

[michaelpoczynek]

Adobe Podcast is mind-blowing. I record a podcast in a Ford F150 Truck on an iPhone, and it sounds like I am in the studio. The audio from the truck is awful. PS. Why does Isabella's garden look like a backyard? 😀

[cartereducation]

Awesome as usual Mike. I have a number of podcasts coming to 2025 so this is very timely. Quick gear question... I saw your vid about mics etc a few weeks back, but I would like to know what you are plugging your XLR mic into, and how that 'box' is connected to your computer.

[MarkDHall]

Thanks for the video, Mike. I'm thinking of switching back to Adobe for video editing and wondered how best to integrate this tool into an Audition/Premiere Pro workflow for voiceovers. Would you suggest enhancing first and then finishing up in Audition or going directly into Premiere Pro and adjusting levels/compression there? Thanks!

[ppowell]

Thanks for the video. Is this available in the Adobe suite or only online?

[AGI-Bingo]

Watched a free ai audacity noise removal that you did 9 months ago, are there any updates for free and local audio enhancements? Thanks a lot! Subscribed ❤

[Carjackwilder]

Would you think shorter clips have better results since the audio changes less? or should I upload my whole audio of a 20 min out door walk & talk?

[Analysis-hh]

Hi Mike, do you think it’s still worth using this if I already have a professional microphone (Hollyland Lark M1)? Like recording with the mic first and then enhancing it with Adobe Podcast?

[tedk]

It is absolutely great, and then some. I do editing of old radio shows. Using the sliders I can clean up music and other sounds as well but not as fabulously as voice. And I can let in as much extraneous sound as I want with voice, such as laughter and applause, while still minimizing hiss and hum. One thing though. I upload a stereo track, and then I download a mono track. Is that the price I have to pay? Is there a way to get a stereo file at the back end?
