Auphonic

Auphonic is an automated audio post-production platform that levels, denoises, and masters voice recordings with loudness normalization to broadcast and streaming targets. It adds multitrack mixing, transcription, chapter marks, metadata, and direct publishing integrations. Billed by processed audio hours with a free monthly allowance, it is a reliable hands-off mastering step for podcasters, audiobook producers, and video creators.

Auphonic is a long-established, automated audio post-production service that takes raw voice recordings and applies professional-grade processing without manual mixing. Its adaptive leveler balances volume between a loud host and a quiet guest, its noise and reverb reduction cleans up hiss, hum, and room echo, and its loudness normalization targets broadcast and streaming standards (like -16 or -14 LUFS). The result is consistent, polished audio from inconsistent source material. Beyond cleanup, Auphonic handles multitrack processing to mix separate speaker channels, optional filler-word and pause shortening, automatic transcription for show notes and search, and chapter-mark and metadata generation. It integrates with services like Dropbox, Google Drive, YouTube, SoundCloud, and major podcast hosts, so finished episodes can be pulled from and published to your existing tools automatically. Auphonic charges by hours of processed audio rather than by feature, with a free monthly allowance (around 2 hours) and paid options that scale up from there, including one-time credits and recurring plans. It is favored by podcasters, audiobook producers, and video creators who want a reliable, hands-off mastering step. The interface is more utilitarian than modern, but the audio results are well regarded and consistent.
