Goyo Becomes Supertone Clear Voice Separator - Release Date Announced

The Supertone Goyo team has emailed all their beta testers with details of the release version called Supertone Clear Voice Separator, which will be available to purchase from 30th October 2023. We have the details.

The History Of Goyo

Back in April 2023, the beta test program for Goyo Voice Separator was announced. We learned that GOYO is an AI-powered plugin that offers the user the ability to decrease or increase noise, reverb, and ambience using three simple knobs. Goyo told us that their approach differs from some other AI de-noise, de-reverb solutions in that it offers real-time control of the three elements, which means the user can adjust the three elements to taste.

In our early tests, it offered some impressive results. Supertone claimed it offers AAX support, but when we tested it back in April, we could not get it to show up in Pro Tools.

By May 2023, the issue had been resolved with v0.9.2, and it worked with Pro Tools AAX. As it was a beta, this gave all those who signed up for the beta test a free audio restoration software tool.

In August 2023, in our Audio Restoration Software in 2023 roundup article, we shared that Supertone had announced their plans for the official release of Supertone Clear, which will be their official product, replacing GOYO. The upgraded plug-in release version having been designed to retain Goyo’s simplicity and powerful algorithm, together with additional features like enhanced CPU performance and offline workflow, with a price of $99.

Release Version Date Announced

In addition, Supertone stressed in their pre-release communications that Supertone Clear would work completely offline, with the only exception being when you need to activate and deactivate the plug-in.

Today, Supertone emailed their beta testers with this email…

Dear Goyo Beta User,

Thank you for your tremendous support of Goyo Beta. We’re absolutely thrilled by the feedback and love you’ve shown us.

Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Supertone Clear, our official product replacing Goyo. This upgraded plug-in retains Goyo’s simplicity and powerful algorithm, along with added features like enhanced CPU performance and offline workflow.

Supertone Clear will be available for purchase this October 30th for $99. As a valued beta user, you'll get an exclusive $70 discount, making it just $29.

Following the release, we’ll transition into phasing out beta testing. GOYO Beta usage for existing users will continue until December 1st, after which we encourage you to use Supertone Clear.

Your support has been incredible, and we're eager for the next part of our journey together.

Sincerely,

Supertone GOYO Team
