Auto-Align® Post 2
Since its inception in 2018, Auto-Align Post has revolutionized dialogue editing, becoming the go-to solution in numerous award-winning films and TV shows. It has saved dialogue editors days of tedious work and has become an essential tool for many audio-post professionals.
By enabling dynamic time-alignment correction of moving location microphones, Auto-Align Post makes it possible to effectively mix boom and lav microphones, eliminating comb-filtering and phase artifacts caused by time-of-arrival differences with just a few clicks.
Now, Auto-Align Post 2 takes an extensive step further with seamless ARA2 integration. It features improved algorithms, an adaptive spectral phase correction module, a new intuitive one-click re-align workflow, a real-time phase correlation meter on every channel, and an additional game-changing track-focused edit window. These advancements streamline your workflow and empower you to achieve the highest quality dialogue audio effortlessly.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2
Spectral Phase Correction Module
A production sound mixer may often engage a high-pass filter on the boom mic to filter out low-frequency noise on-location recording sets. However, electronic high-pass filters induce a phase shift to the signal, resulting in a significant loss of low-end and ‘body’ of the dialogue when mixed with a non-filtered mic.
The new Spectral Phase Correction module detects and dynamically corrects frequency-dependent phase shifts to achieve significantly improved spectral alignment and richer sound.
Improved Algorithm
Auto-Align Post’s core algorithm was further refined to deliver better overall results.
Spectral Correlation Meter [AAX]
A spectral magnifying looking-glass provides a detailed 28-bands frequency phase correlation view.
ARA2 Compatibility
Long in the making, Auto-Align Post 2 brings ARA2 support for compatible DAWs such as Pro Tools, Nuendo, and Studio One.
Native Adobe Premiere Pro Compatibility
Leverage all features of Auto-Align Post 2 inside the Adobe Premiere Pro interface.

I used Auto-Align Post on the first season of Bridgerton with great success. Now we are in post on season two. I could not imagine doing a show like this, with several booms and radio mics without Auto-Align Post. It’s a life-saver in dialogue editing!”
