Two Knobs. That's It. | CEDAR VoicEX 2 Review

What if cleaning up noisy audio was as simple as turning two knobs? Today we're diving deep into VoicEX 2 from CEDAR Audio — and I'm going to show you exactly why this plugin is a game changer for post-production professionals AND content creators alike. CEDAR Audio has been around since the late 1980s and are the inventors of digital noise reduction. Emmy Awards. Academy Awards. Their technology has been the backbone of professional audio restoration for decades. And now with their new icons plugin range, that same world-class technology is available to everyone at a price point that makes sense. In this video I test VoicEX 2 on real-world audio — including a recording made at a car wash and footage shot next to an HVAC unit — so you can hear exactly what this plugin does in the most challenging conditions. Whether you're a seasoned post-production mixer working in Pro Tools, a dialogue editor, a video editor, or a content creator trying to clean up your audio at home — VoicEX 2 is one of the simplest and most effective noise reduction tools I've used in eighteen years of professional mixing. Two knobs. Noise. Voice. That's the whole story. 🎁 WIN A FREE COPY OF VOICEX 2 Enter our giveaway for a chance to win a free perpetual license of CEDAR VoicEX 2: 👉 https://www.masteringpostproductionsound.com/voicex2 Drawing date announcement: May 1, 2026 💰 EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT 🛒 Get VoicEX 2 at 10% off: Click my link → https://cedaraudio.onfastspring.com?source=Joel_Catalan Enter code: JOELCATALAN at checkout for your 10% discount **This coupon must be entered at the bottom of the shop page in the box marked "Coupon Code" prior to checkout ** 📚CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction – Two Knobs to Clean Audio? 00:21 Who is Cedar Audio? 01:51 Testing Voice EX2 Right Out of the Box 03:22 Car Wash Vacuum Test – The Benchmark Clip 04:13 Dialing In the Noise Knob 05:43 Full Noise Reduction vs. Dialogue Isolate Comparison 08:47 The Two-Knob Simplicity Factor 10:30 Cedar's New Icon Plugin Range – World Class for Everyone 11:14 HVAC Compressor Test 13:55 How to Use Noise Reduction as Part of Your Toolkit 15:10 Why Audio Quality Matters for Content Creators 17:14 Free Perpetual License Giveaway – How to Enter 18:34 Free Trial + Exclusive 10% Discount Code 20:00 Wrap Up 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES CEDAR Audio Website: https://www.cedaraudio.com CEDAR icons Plugin Range: https://cedaraudio.com/plugins/voicex2 CEDAR on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedaraudio/ Previous Noise Reduction Plugin Comparisons: Best Noise Reduction Plugin?
