Accusonus ERA 5 Bundle Pro $39/month, $299.88/year, $999 forever PC MAC
Computer Music|February 2021
When you’re fixing up compromised audio you want a toolset that’s quick and reliable. This updated package could well be the answer
Accusonus ERA 5 Bundle Pro $39/month, $299.88/year, $999 forever PC MAC

When we last looked at this bundle it had five plugins and included the ERA-D reverb and noise remover. Since then, ERA-D has alas become a legacy plugin. However, Accusonus have been busy expanding and reworking their offering and the result is ERA 5.

Still available in two packages (Regular and Pro) and via subscription or perpetual licence, it’s the Pro bundle we have on review. This features 13 plugins (you get nine in the regular bundle). Twelve of these are real time plugins (VST, AU, AAX) and one plugin (Room Tone Match) is specifically for Pro Tools Audiosuite format. Included in the 12 is a new host plugin, Audio Clean Up Assistant (as discussed on the next page).

Some plugins are updates of previous versions (Voice Leveler, Plosive Remover and De-Clipper for example) and some are completely new (Voice AutoEQ, Voice Deepener, Reverb Remover Pro and Noise Remover Pro). Processes now covered are noise reduction, de-essing, de-clipping, plosive removal, reverb removal, levelling and EQ.

Some of the plugins target vocal or speech, and some are better suited to audio post production than music production uses. A good example is newcomer Room Tone Match, which helps standardise the underlying noise bed across dialogue edits. Even so, there’s still plenty for the music user.
