AudioDirector 365

AudioDirector 365 is a professional suite of audio mixing, editing, and mastering tools that can help enthusiasts and audio professionals take full control over their audio productions, from recording to publishing.



Consisting of four editing software solutions (PowerDirector, PhotoDirector, AudioDirector, and ColorDirector), this ultimate audio editor can help anyone create their own perfect recording environment, with full control over the clarity, precision, and quality of every audio track.

With a wide variety of tools for clearing up all sources of audio content (speech, music, instruments), users can easily extract the exact audio content they need, discarding the background noise or imperfections with the help of fast, reliable, and automated tools.

Some of the most common use-case scenarios for the CyberLink AudioDirector 365 suite of apps are removing wind from the backgrounds of recording, the balance of vocals, extraction of vocals, customization of background tracks, removal of audio elements (including speech), enhancement of speech, a wide array of restoration procedures (removing background noise, hiss, and hum, distortion, contour dialogue, …) and much more.

And best things yet, many of these procedures can be done with a built-in AI-powered tool that can remove much manual work and provide users with great-sounding results that can be manually tweaked if needed.

It can handle separate audio tracks, unify different tracks in effect combos, record in real-time from multiple input channels, and perform batch processing tasks that can dramatically increase the speed of audio editing.

And all the apps inside the AudioDirector 365 can collaborate and share projects, enabling AudioDirector projects to be easily exported into PowerDirector, enabling perfect automatic synchronization between apps.

AudioDirector 365 is a premium audio edit suite that must be purchased to unlock all of its functionality, but a free demo is available for users who want to test it out before committing to either a lifetime license purchase or a monthly subscription.

It is important to note that a lifetime license is available only for the app, while a subscription unlocks access to the entire AudioDirector 365 suite, with access to advanced services such as libraries for background music, sound clips, Shutterstock premium music library, catalog of video and photo plug-ins, cloud storage, and a set of exclusive video, photo, and color grading tools.
