A Post-Production Revolution
In film and TV, dialogue is far and away the key component that gets the story across. A large part of an actor’s talent is in the subtle inflections used to inject emotion into the script. Of course, dialogue is also one of the most difficult sound sources to capture – wind or room ambiance will inevitably creep into a boom mic, while the rustling of costumes in a fast-paced action sequence can make a lavalier recording unusable. Because of this, ADR, or Automated Dialogue Replacement has become a central part of the post-production workflow.
Despite the fact that ADR is a regular, if not essential part of a post-production workflow, anyone in the field knows just how long it takes to clean, match, and treat dialogue to create a seamless performance. Thankfully, iZotope is looking to fix that problem.

Dialogue Match pairs the advanced machine learning technology of RX7 with the award-winning sound of Exponential Audio. This allows you to match the EQ curve, room tone, and reverb reflections of one signal and match it perfectly to a different recording – automatically! When Dialogue Match scans your audio, it uses a series of intelligent algorithms to analyze your audio and map out both the spectral and tonal aspects of the recording. From there, you can super-impose that sonic profile directly onto another recording, or even save it as a Reference Profile. This acts like a preset which you can use as a starting point for a specific scene, location, or setup.
Individual control over eq, reverb, and ambience
Dialogue Match gives you control over three separate sonic domains in your sound – EQ, Reverb, and Ambience. Explore each module below!
Users of iZotope’s award-winning RX Post-Production Suite will be instantly familiar with the look of the Ambience module in Dialogue Match.
By analyzing the spectral content of your reference signal, Ambience allows you to capture the room tone of your reference track and place that across any track you’d like. For years, dialogue editors have had to search, cut, and copy pieces of room tone in order to splice that on top of other dialogue sources. With Dialogue Match, you can say goodbye to the tedious hours spent copying room tones!
