Mastering Authentic ADR with iZotope's Dialogue Match in Pro Tools (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: In this video, we'll cover steps to make localized, dry ADR sound as authentically a part of the original production's world as possible, by matching it to production dialogue with iZotope's Dialogue Match. When productions are dubbed into other languages, it can be difficult to keep the audience in the world of the original production because new voice talent has to perform the lines in a different language and a completely different recording environment. iZotope's Dialogue Match allows you to copy the reverb, EQ, and ambience from the original performance and impart that unique sonic fingerprint onto the localized ADR, meaning you'll be able to create the most authentic-sounding ADR take and keep viewers locked into the story, even if the lines are performed in a different language by a different actor. Download a free trial of iZotope's Dialogue Match to follow along. Dialogue Match is currently supported in Pro Tools only via AudioSuite. Depending on how you've configured your AudioSuite menu, you can access Dialogue Match by navigating to the EQ folder to find it or head to the iZotope folder and access it. Step 1.
