Waves Dugan Speech

Waves Dugan Speech - eMotion LV1 Edition | Say Goodbye to Feedback and Noise, Achieve Clear Dialogue

In situations where multiple people speak simultaneously, such as panel discussions, corporate forums, talk shows, or religious gatherings, managing multiple microphones is often a nightmare. The overlapping voices are not only difficult to control but are also frequently accompanied by annoying feedback, comb filtering, background noise, and the chaos of multiple people talking at once. These issues severely impact the event's audio quality, preventing the audience from clearly receiving important information and leaving sound engineers scrambling to keep up.

Now, with Waves Dugan Speech, all these problems are solved. This software, developed in collaboration with audio inventor Dan Dugan, is the ultimate automixer designed specifically for the Waves eMotion LV1 live mixing console. It can instantly and automatically control the gain of up to 64 microphones with precision, completely solving the complex challenge of multi-mic management. No matter how complex the speaking scenario, Dugan Speech ensures that every speaker's voice is clear and natural while maximally suppressing feedback and noise. This makes your live mixing workflow smoother and more efficient than ever, significantly improving overall vocal clarity and seamlessly integrating into your eMotion LV1 system.

Core Advantages & Use Cases

Intelligent Automatic Gain Control
Dugan Speech uses a patented gain-sharing algorithm to instantly detect which microphones are being spoken into and automatically raises their gain while lowering the gain of unused microphones. The entire process is smooth and seamless, requiring no manual fader adjustments, ensuring stable overall gain and preventing volume fluctuations.

Significantly Improves Speech Clarity
By precisely managing the number of open microphones, Dugan Speech drastically reduces comb filtering and the accumulation of background noise. This makes each speaker's voice cleaner, clearer, and more intelligible, ensuring the audience can hear the content clearly even in noisy environments.

Effectively Suppresses Feedback
Feedback is the most common enemy in live sound reinforcement. Dugan Speech automatically minimizes the gain of microphones not in use, significantly increasing the system's gain-before-feedback. This allows you to push the main PA volume with more confidence, without worrying about piercing squeals.

Perfect Integration for eMotion LV1
This plugin is tailor-made for the eMotion LV1 live mixing console and operates seamlessly directly within the console's Mixer window. No extra hardware or complex routing is required, providing the most intuitive and highly integrated user experience.

Supports Large-Scale Multi-Mic Applications
Dugan Speech can process up to 64 microphone channels simultaneously. Whether it's a large international conference, a televised debate, or a roundtable forum with dozens of participants, it handles the task with ease, ensuring every audio channel is perfectly processed.

Wide Range of Applications
Suitable for any situation requiring clear dialogue, including: corporate meetings and boardrooms, government councils, TV and radio talk shows, sports commentary, houses of worship services and events, theatrical dialogue reinforcement, and any form of panel or group discussion.
