VEA is an AI audio enhancer that takes any voice recording and makes it more powerful, more polished, and more professional. This easy-to-use tool is perfect for podcasters and content creators of all skillsets, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro. Built with industry-leading audio enhancement technology from RX, Ozone, and Nectar, VEA increases clarity, sets more consistent levels, and reduces background noise on any voice recording. Voice Enhancement Assistant (VEA) features AI technology that listens first, then enhances audio so creators can feel more confident with their voice and deliver better sounding content.
“Many people don’t love the sound of their voice when listening back to a recording,” explains Todd Baker, VP Product at Native Instruments. “VEA quickly polishes your vocal sound so you can feel more confident as a host or narrator. VEA is also easy to use even if you haven’t worked with audio tools before, so you can spend more time focusing on what you want to say, not on how you sound.”
For people that are new to audio production, VEA features three simple controls that are intelligently set by iZotope’s AI technology. According to Native Instruments, those that are more familiar with editing vocal recordings will find a new way to finish productions quickly by consolidating their effects chains and saving on CPU.
Founded in Berlin in 1996, Native Instruments has been at the forefront of musical innovation for 25 years.

With the combined powers of the different areas, Native Instruments has engineering capabilities across integrated software and hardware, AI and machine learning, the cloud, and more. The now released iZotope VEA, a new AI-powered Voice Enhancement Assistant, is an example of that cooperation.
