DX Assist  

DXAssist is a tool designed to speed up the first stage of dialogue editing by analyzing the contents of an AAF file and automatically removing sections where no human speech is detected.

After loading an AAF, the program scans the material and processes it according to the selected parameters. It cuts out the parts that do not contain dialogue while preserving the original structure needed for further work.

The process is non-destructive — the changes are not permanent and can be undone.

DXAssist can also compare dialogue bleed from different sources and keep only the best source, helping to reduce unnecessary tracks and prepare a cleaner, more organized session at the beginning of the dialogue editing process.

DXAssist is a fantastic time saver in my daily job. I use it on every project that has dialogue. Separating dialogue from other sounds has never been easier. Of course, you have to check and clean up after DXAssist but the workflow that developers suggest is quite good and useful. Check out their support videos.

We use DX Assist in our two studios. At the moment, we’re working on a weekly broadcast series airing on a commercial TV channel. For us, the release of DX was a real lifesaver — it came at the exact moment we started post-production. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to deliver our mixes on time. DX is a huge time saver for us.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DX Assist the same as Strip Silence?

No, it is not the same. DX Assist works by analyzing the content of human speech, not just the signal level. Additionally, each clip is analyzed individually rather than globally.

How does it work?

DX Assist analyzes the audio contained in an AAF file and removes everything that is not human speech. We mainly use it to eliminate unnecessary sounds from microphone tracks — in places where we don’t want to include noise, background sounds, or other disturbances — so that unwanted artifacts do not accumulate.Additionally, with vertical processing, we are able to select the best available signal source.

How does Vertical Processing work?

The program analyzes the material that remains in the “vertical” domain — meaning the actual dialogue on the primary microphone, as well as the bleed on the other tracks — and selects the best available option.

How should you prepare the session?

The best approach is to export an AAF with embedded WAV files from Pro Tools or another DAW, making sure the “Quantize Edits to Frames” option is enabled. Then load the prepared AAF into DX Assist.If you are working with dialogue assembly from a recorder, please watch our workflow video to see how to do it properly.
