The Waves Dugan Speech plugin is a smart solution for managing multiple microphones in real-time live speech environments like panel discussions, corporate events, houses of worship, or talk shows. Designed in collaboration with audio pioneer Dan Dugan, this plugin automates mic gain levels to ensure only the active speaker's mic is raised, while others are smoothly lowered. No more worrying about feedback, overlapping voices, or inconsistent levels"Dugan Speech makes it feel like everyone is sharing one mic. Fully integrated with Waves eMotion LV1 and compatible via SuperRack SoundGrid or SuperRack Performer, Dugan Speech lets you handle up to 64 channels with ease. It supports Auto and Manual mixing modes, lets you override specific channels (like a host's mic), and offers weight controls to prioritize mics in the mix. With real-time gain metering and a "Recall Safe" mode to lock in settings during scene changes, this plugin brings broadcast-style polish to live sound with simple, intuitive controls.
