Noise suppression plugin, 4-instance license for 888, 1 ms latency, 48kHz/24-bit, real-time background noise reduction across channels or buses with clarity.



The NoiseAssist plugin for the Sound Devices 888 with 4 instances delivers expanded real-time noise suppression for productions that demand clean dialog across multiple channels. Each instance can be applied to isolated inputs, buses, or a combination of both, providing mixers with versatile control for interviews, group recordings, or complex multi-mic setups.

With proprietary multi-band frequency and statistical processing, NoiseAssist distinguishes speech from steady background noise such as HVAC systems, traffic, or crowd ambiance. Operating with just 1 ms latency, it maintains the natural tone and full frequency response of the source while offering adjustable suppression between 1"20 dB.

Perfect for film, television, live broadcast, and streaming, NoiseAssist (4 Instances) empowers sound mixers to deliver polished, intelligible audio directly on set-minimizing the need for post-production cleanup.
  • Real-time background noise suppression with just 1 ms latency, cleaning up ambient sounds like traffic, HVAC, or generators while keeping dialog natural.
  • 4 independent instances allow NoiseAssist to be applied on any mix of four ISO channels or buses, or a combination of both.
  • Ideal for multi-talent productions, interviews, or panel setups where multiple microphones need noise reduction at once.
  • Designed for film and TV dialog, maintaining voice clarity and full frequency bandwidth while reducing noise and reverberation.
  • Automatic adaptation - responds to changes in background noise within 5"10 seconds without user intervention.
  • Adjustable suppression from 1 dB to 20 dB (default 6 dB), letting you fine-tune how aggressively the plugin cleans the signal.
  • Compatible with 8-Series firmware v7.20 or higher.
  • Flexible routing within the 888: record both "raw" and NoiseAssist-processed versions by splitting signals to multiple channels or buses.
  • Works alongside MixAssist or Dugan Automixer for handling multiple open microphones in noisy environments.
  • Fully compatible with EQ and low-cut filters in the 888, letting you shape sound while NoiseAssist reduces noise.
  • Transparent performance thanks to multi-band frequency and statistical processing, separating speech from noise without heavy artifacts.
  • Upgradeable licensing - if you own 2 instances, you can upgrade to 4 by paying only the difference.
  • License is locked to your 888's serial number and cannot be transferred to other devices.
