An alternative piece of ADR plugin software for ProTools is VoiceQ and a demo has recently been looked at, briefly. The software appears to be good, although integration with ProTools has not been tried as yet; only as standalone. What is nice about the software is that the actor's lines can be made to scroll across the video and also different colours and placements can be used for each actor.

I'd really like to see a comparison between ADR Studio & VoiceQ. I understand Gallery hasn't touched ADR for quite awhile whereas VoiceQ is just streaming ahead (no pun intended). I've played a bit with VoiceQ and as a Studio Owner see the opportunity to grow and offer foreign language VO's and Dubbing. Even heard a guy in Montreal used it for scoring (clear-perceptions). I don't think ADR outputs anything visual though eg. dialogue. We always have problems with paper scripts, and VoiceQ practically does away with this. Heaps of cueing options too; beeps, streamers, scrolling txt, waveform etc. If anyone has done a review between these 2 Apps I'd appreciate seeing it. OH - apparently the next VQ version (due out April) has 2-way PT/Nuendo Integration via MMC, MBC & MTC. Also their Script Import Manager that extracts data out of scripts and puts it into VQ is FREE. I'm about to get VQ but just looking for a project to use it on.
Thank you for your comment. The main drawback I have found with the current version of VoiceQ is its lack of integration with ProTools; unlike ADR Studio. I look forward to trying the version you mention concerning better integration via MTC. Once this is sorted I am sure it will be much better than ADR Studio, as like you say, ADR Studio does not offer any visual cueing, only audible beeps etc. I really like ADR Studio, but it can be fiddly to set up properly and my students do have problems with getting it to work properly, thus wasting studio time. Better integration with VoiceQ therefore might be a better solution.
Hello! Can you say is there any alternatives to VoiceQ on mac? I mean, I'm looking for a dubbing programm and it seems that VoiceQ is the only one...
ADR Studio by Gallery is very good and integrates well with ProTools and other software too. It's a bit fiddly to get going but when it does it's great and basically automates a lot of the process. The only drawback with it, unlike VoiceQ, is that it doesn't display moving text across the display for the actor to see. However, it does automatically generate the standard 3 blips, spaced 667ms apart (this can be changed as well).
