One of the four new algorithms (free for Premium users) includes Extract:Dialogue, which automatically isolates dialogue from a range of common noise sources. Have a cymbal decay cut off by an overzealous edit? Try Acoustica's Time Stretch tool, update the fade-out, and you're set. Time Stretch and Transpose tools have been around for a while, but Acon Digital's algorithm is strong in this area. Without the Remix tool, I would've been unable to help for harming the guitar.
