Native Instruments offers iZotope VEA (Voice Enhancement Assistant), an AI-powered audio plugin released in January 2024 that analyzes a voice recording and automatically applies noise reduction, dynamic leveling, and tonal shaping to make it sound more polished and professional.
Details
VEA uses AI technology built from iZotope's RX, Ozone, and Nectar processing pipelines. It provides three simple controls — Shape (tonal EQ tailored to the voice), Boost (loudness and compression), and Clean (background noise reduction). The plugin automatically learns the ambient noise profile and preserves speech during noise reduction. VEA is designed for podcasters and content creators with limited audio engineering experience. It works as a plugin within major DAWs and non-linear video editors (NLEs) on Mac and Windows and is priced at $29.
