Fix Bad Audio Instantly? Inside Waves' Voice Regeneration Tool

What happens when audio is so bad… even the best plugins can't save it?

In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, we're joined by Michael "Gomez" Pearce-Adams from Waves Audio to talk about Voice Regeneration, a new AI-driven tool designed to rebuild poor-quality dialogue into something actually usable.

And this isn't just noise reduction or EQ… it's a complete rethink of how broken audio gets fixed.

We dig into:

Why this will never be a plugin
How AI is actually "rebuilding" voice recordings
Real-world use cases, from podcast disasters to phone interviews
What this means for audio engineers and post-production
The limits of AI audio, and where it still falls over

There's also a bigger conversation here about where the industry is heading, and whether tools like this are helping or hurting the craft.

If you've ever been handed unusable audio and told "can you fix this?", this one's for you.

🎙️ What You'll Hear in This Episode

Why traditional tools fail on truly bad audio
The rise of content creators as the biggest audio market
Cloud processing vs plugin workflows
Ethical concerns around AI and audio data
Accent bias in AI models and why it matters
Real examples of voice regeneration in action
How fast AI processing is changing expectations
