AI Fixed the Audio, But Should We Tell People?

This week on The Pro Audio Suite, the crew dives into the weirdly perfect world of AI fixing AI.

Robert shares a corporate video job about AI adoption that was, rather beautifully, rescued by AI audio cleanup. Robbo jumps in with his own tale of a big corporate shoot where the lapel mics were fitted, but somehow the camera mic was what got recorded. Enter Source Elements ReGen.

The team talks through where tools like ReGen sit in the real world of audio post. Not as a first choice, not as a magic button, but as a serious get out of jail option when the recording is so far gone that traditional noise reduction is not really the answer anymore.

From there, things take a sharp left into AI watermarking, audio disclosure, stealth metadata, digital rights management, and whether AI voices on radio should be clearly labelled. Is the problem AI itself, or is it the lack of honesty around how it is being used?

There is also a brief but important discussion about using AI cleanup for auditions, why bad audio can affect casting decisions before anyone even realises it, and whether Robbo should launch his own service called RoboGen.

In this episode:

• Source Elements ReGen in real post-production jobs
• Fixing badly recorded corporate audio
• Why ReGen is different from normal noise reduction
• AI audio cleanup for voiceover auditions
• Watermarking AI images and audio
• Disclosure around AI voices on radio
• Why honesty may matter more than the tool itself
• The birth of RoboGen, unfortunately

Thanks to our sponsors Austrian Audio, making passion heard.
