Why Dialogue Match Is Offered as an AudioSuite Plug-in for Pro Tools

When we decided to make Dialogue Match, we were immediately faced with hard choices about how to design the workflow and how that workflow would be supported in various hosts. Should Dialogue Match be an offline or a real-time plug-in, or both? Should we support it in ten hosts, as we do with RX, or release a more targeted product?

The challenges of delivering a complex plug-in with multiple workflows in multiple hosts—all within a reasonable amount of time—led us to conclude that the best product we could create should initially be focused on a single workflow for a single major host. We targeted our largest installed user base, Pro Tools users, and chose to optimize an AudioSuite workflow for those users.

AudioSuite was a good place to start. The initial response to Dialogue Match from re-recording mixers and editors has been overwhelmingly positive. Predictably, we’ve been hearing from those of you who work in DAWs other than Pro Tools.
