NoiseWorks Audio’s AI-powered vocal and dialogue processing plug-in is now available in three different versions: VoiceAssist Basic, Standard and Advanced. The restructure makes VoiceAssist’s core features available across a wider range of budgets, and comes alongside the news that the company’s DynAssist plug-in will be discontinued, with free upgrades to VoiceAssist available to paid users.
Three Tiers
Now that there are three versions to choose from, NoiseWorks Audio have provided the following breakdown of what’s on offer in each of the new tiers:
VoiceAssist Basic
The entry point for the VoiceAssist engine. Basic covers intelligent vocal levelling via offline analysis, writing editable automation rather than riding gain in real time. The plug-in analyses the full recording before making a single adjustment, which produces smoother, more transparent results than conventional real-time gain riders. Speed, Smoothing and Catch Peaks controls give engineers precise control over how the leveller responds. An intelligent noise floor detection system prevents the plug-in from boosting room noise during quiet passages.
Windows users should note that GPU is required to use the included 14-day Advanced trial features.
VoiceAssist Standard
The direct replacement for DynAssist. Standard adds AI-powered gating, breath control and de-essing to the Dynamic Section included in Basic. All four modules run from a single offline-analysis pass and share context — the gate knows when the leveller is boosting a quiet passage, the de-esser accounts for gain changes. Chain-order conflicts that come with running separate plug-ins in series are removed.
The breath detection is AI-driven and operates offline, which allows it to distinguish between functional breathing and emotionally intended breath that should be preserved. Every adjustment produced by any module appears as editable automation.
Windows users running Standard require a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA or AMD, minimum 4 GB VRAM) for the Breath Section.
VoiceAssist Advanced
Advanced adds a Clean Section (AI denoising, de-reverb and frequency restoration), a Low End Section (bass restoration and resonance control) and a standalone application. It also includes AudioSuite support for Pro Tools, added in this release.
A 14-day trial of all Advanced features is included with every licence tier. The trial activates on first use.
DynAssist Migration
NoiseWorks Audio have also announced that DynAssist is to be discontinued, with both DynAssist and DynAssist Lite being removed from sale at the end of April 2026. Paid DynAssist licence holders will receive VoiceAssist Standard as a free upgrade. This is a like-for-like replacement: VoiceAssist Standard covers the same functional scope as DynAssist and adds the newer AI engine. Existing DynAssist projects and automation are not affected. DynAssist Lite (the free tier) does not qualify for the free upgrade.
Compatibility
VoiceAssist is supported on PCs running Windows 10 or above, and Macs running macOS 13 and later. VST3, AU and AAX plug-in versions are available. For the Advanced tier on Windows and the Breath Section on Windows Standard tier, a dedicated GPU is required (NVIDIA or AMD, minimum 4GB VRAM).
