Hush Audio Inc
Hush develops machine-learning audio tools that clean spoken-word recordings by removing noise, reverb, and transient sounds. The standalone macOS app targets podcasters and voiceover artists, while Hush Pro is an AudioSuite plugin for Pro Tools used by professional dialogue editors and re-recording mixers in post-production. Both products run locally on Apple Silicon Macs, leveraging the Neural Engine for fast, private processing.

Problem
Recording clean dialogue typically requires a professionally treated studio or isolation booth, which is inaccessible to many podcasters, voiceover artists, and remote production teams. Even in professional post-production, location audio captured on set is often contaminated by room reflections, ambient noise, and transient sounds that traditional noise reduction tools struggle to remove without introducing artifacts.
Solution
Hush provides macOS-based audio tools that use machine learning to separate clean speech from unwanted sounds. The standalone Hush app removes broadband noise, reverb, and transient sounds like birds or horns from podcasts, voiceovers, and audiobooks, running locally on Apple Silicon via the Neural Engine. Hush Pro is an AudioSuite plugin for Pro Tools, built for professional post-production workflows, featuring a refined ML model, a mixer-style UI with separate faders for noise and reverb, and real-time preview capabilities. Both products process audio entirely on-device, preserving privacy and eliminating the need for cloud processing.
Target Audience
Primary customers are podcasters, voiceover artists, and audiobook producers using the standalone Hush app, as well as professional dialogue editors and re-recording mixers working in Pro Tools post-production environments with Hush Pro.
Features
- ML-based speech isolation that separates dialogue from room reflections, ambient noise, and transient sounds with minimal artifacts
- Hush Pro includes two plugin variants: Hush Mix for real-time rebalancing of speech, reverb, and noise with decibel-based faders, and Hush Split for rendering each component into separate editable lanes
- Adaptive processing that automatically adjusts reduction intensity based on source material, eliminating the need for noise pre-sampling or manual parameter tweaking
- Real-time AudioSuite preview with smoothed parameter changes, click-free loops, and per-channel mute, solo, and bypass controls
- Batch processing in the standalone app for cleaning multiple files (podcast episodes, audiobook chapters) in one pass
- Optimized for Apple Silicon Macs using the Neural Engine and GPU, keeping CPU usage low and processing an hour-long podcast in minutes
- One-time purchase with free minor updates, DRM-free installer, and fully local processing for data privacy
