What happens when audio is so bad… even the best plugins can't save it?

In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, we're joined by Michael "Gomez" Pearce-Adams from Waves Audio to talk about Voice Regeneration, a new AI-driven tool designed to rebuild poor-quality dialogue into something actually usable.

And this isn't just noise reduction or EQ… it's a complete rethink of how broken audio gets fixed.

We dig into:

• Why this will never be a plugin
• How AI is actually "rebuilding" voice recordings
• Real-world use cases, from podcast disasters to phone interviews
• What this means for audio engineers and post-production
• The limits of AI audio, and where it still falls over

There's also a bigger conversation here about where the industry is heading, and whether tools like this are helping or hurting the craft.

If you've ever been handed unusable audio and told "can you fix this?", this one's for you.

• Why traditional tools fail on truly bad audio
• The rise of content creators as the biggest audio market
• Cloud processing vs plugin workflows
• Ethical concerns around AI and audio data
• Accent bias in AI models and why it matters
• Real examples of voice regeneration in action
• How fast AI processing is changing expectations

TwistedWave has dropped updates that feel like they were built for anyone smashing through a pile of auditions or VO edits every day.

George walks through what's new in 32.3 and 32.4, including the ability to apply a Batch directly to your currently open file and map that Batch to a single keystroke. That means you can normalise to a target level, then apply a processing stack, all in one hit, without the old multi step workflow.

Then there's the new Repair tool, a quick "auto heal" style fix for little clicks, mouth noises, and short waveform anomalies. Select the problem area, hit a key, and TwistedWave smooths it out. No fiddly sample drawing required.

Also included, a friendly rant about software developers changing things that don't need changing, and why options matter.

Loopback is one of the most common and misunderstood problems in home studios.

In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, the team breaks down how the new Nexus Suite, specifically Nexus Review, makes it dramatically easier to capture system audio, create proper mix-minus setups, and send playback to clients without complicated routing.

If you have ever wrestled with UA Console routing, virtual drivers, Chrome output quirks, or Mac system audio conflicts, this one is for you.

We cover:

• Why traditional loopback setups get messy fast
• The UA console routing method and its limitations
• How Nexus Review captures system audio automatically
• Why this eliminates feedback loops
• Whether you still need an Apollo
• Chrome finally fixing its output bug
• What this means for USB interfaces and simpler setups

If you are podcasting, live streaming, directing voice talent, or running remote sessions, this episode will save you time and headaches.
