The NLE gained a full audio subsystem powered by SONUS. Pick a SONUS profile at the production level and every audio path in your cut runs through it. A scene audio panel lets you set the intent for each scene (tension, intimacy, space). Narration cues carry an emotive delivery from thirty-three SONUS variants. Dialogue picks up editorial toggles for plosive removal, de-essing, breath, and click cleanup, plus emotional preset picks per line. SFX, foley, and ambience get placed as ClipCue lists on the shot's sound design. Per-stem overrides for ducking, spatial placement, and reverb are exposed in scene audio. And volume envelopes plus fades persist alongside the shot data, cascading into shot.audio.
