Auphonic reviews

Automatic cleanup, leveling, and mastering for podcast and audio.

About

In practice. What you can do with Auphonic.

Auphonic automates post-production for podcasts, interviews and audiobooks. Intelligent Leveler balances speakers, while noise and reverb reduction, AutoEQ and loudness normalisation prepare consistent files for distribution. The service also handles encoding, metadata, chapters and publishing to external platforms.

The free plan includes 2 hours of processed audio per month and adds an Auphonic jingle. Paid usage is sold through recurring or one-time credits. One-time credits do not expire; monthly credits reset and do not roll over. Batch production, watch folders, multilingual transcription and automatic shownotes require paid credits.

Auphonic is the strongest option here for automatically normalising a series and meeting loudness targets. It is less suitable when you need to reconstruct heavily damaged speech or edit an episode through its transcript.
