Adywan, you may have come across this already but Adobe Enhance Speech is in beta right now:

I used it here on some clips from ANH and it’s pretty amazing:

It’s not flawless. And I’m sure you can mix the vocals into your edit better than I did in my clips. But I thought you might want to consider using this for certain parts in ANH:HD.

I have tested out some of these AI programs for vocals, including the Adobe one. It a long way off being usable. All the processed stuff sounds artificial. It changes their voice for one. And a lot of the time they end up sounding like they have a severely blocked nose. Then they tend to alter words. I tested the adobe on with the cam SW Celebration footage of the deleted death star conference scene where they mention “Sith” for the first time. It was terrible. It altered so much of the dialogue. For instance, and i still have the audio clip, the line “until this battle station is fully operational, we are vulnerable” was changed to " until this battle station is fully operation, we are buggerable". Well that really changes the meaning of that scene 😉 These AI programs can be useful for separating music from vocals sometimes, but using them to enhance the dialogue is just not viable yet.

Well, that’s too bad it’s not going to work out. I can certainly see where you’re coming from. Thanks for getting back to me!
I had the same idea to test it out on that “sith” line from ANH…but then forgot to do it!😄

Just wanted to chime in and say things are looking great! The recovery in detail is absolutely fabulous!

Out of curiosity, have you been using any AI tech to help out in your edit?
