AudioDirector

AudioDirector is a professional Audio Editing software application from CyberLink that delivers AI-powered multi-track mixing, sound restoration, and voice enhancement tools, with pricing starting at $19.99 for the AudioDirector 365 subscription. It targets video creators, podcasters, and post-production professionals who need tight integration between audio cleanup and video workflows on Windows.

First released by CyberLink (founded in 1996 and headquartered in San Jose, California) and now in its 13th major version, AudioDirector pairs a traditional waveform/multi-track editor with a growing suite of AI features including AI Voice Enhancement, AI Speech Enhancement, AI Wind Removal, and AI Vocal Removal for isolating vocals or extracting instrumental tracks. The application supports unlimited tracks, VST3 plug-ins, surround-sound mixing, Foley-style sound effects, and an extensive library of royalty-free background music, making it suitable for everything from YouTube voice-over cleanup to cinematic sound design. Because AudioDirector is part of CyberLink's Director Suite, it round-trips directly with PowerDirector, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Vegas Pro, so editors can fix dialogue or add ambience without exporting and re-importing media.

Based on our analysis of 870+ AI tools, AudioDirector sits in the mid-market tier of audio editors — more capable than consumer utilities like Audacity but more approachable (and less expensive) than Avid Pro Tools or Adobe Audition. Compared to other Audio Editing tools in our directory, its strongest differentiator is the bundled AI restoration suite combined with Director-Suite video integration, which is rare at the $19.99/month price point. Its main trade-off is that the full desktop app is Windows-only and is licensed either as a perpetual CyberLink 365 subscription or a one-time Ultra purchase, so Mac users and purely cloud-based teams will want to look at CyberLink's web-based MyEdit audio editor or an alternative like Descript.
