Why do I need to level out my podcast or video blog?
Many podcasters, video bloggers and other media content creators don’t have the luxury of having the audio engineer to sit at the mixing desk and carefully control and adjust levels of all your hosts and guests in real-time. Many guests and speakers are not trained to speak consistently, or even aware of the the things such as distance from the microphone and how this affects the recorded audio. In the heat of the discussion, what is a quiet guest at the beginning, might end up a very engaged and loud guest towards the end!
All of these issues result in audio levels that are all over the place and inconsistent. That makes it hard for listeners to listen, even if they are listening in quiet environment. And it makes it even harder if they are on the go with headphones, where environmental sounds and noise compete for the listener’s attention (or can mask the quieter parts of your show).
Even if you do have a trained board operator, who continuously monitors and adjusts levels, she/he may not be fast enough to catch sudden jumps or drops in audio level.
This is where our powerful algorithm, provided by this service, comes in. It will take care of your audio naturally, automatically, with speed and precision, returning back a polished and consistent audio levels and loudness. Your listeners can then comfortably enjoy watching or listening to your podcast or vlog, even when travelling or in a public transport, running outdoors, listening in their cars, or in other environments where there is considerable environmental noise present.
We also make sure your listener’s hearing is protected and there are no overloads in your processed audio.
Last but not least, audio processed with our service will comply to loudness standards of major distribution platforms (Apple, Spotify, YouTube, etc). That means it won’t be unnecessarily quieter than other content on the platform, or needing correction (loudness penalty) by the platform audio check. It will be optimal, consistent throughout the playback and provide the best possible experience for your listeners!
How is your service different from others?
Our service differs from other similar service by our unique algorithm which was designed to be very transparent, yet extremely consistent in moment-by-moment leveling.
Having decades of broadcast audio processing experience, we wanted the algorithm to respect and preserve your original audio texture, not squash it or change it’s spectral balance, yet provide powerful level and loudness consistency. There will be more information about our unique processing algorithm in the future blog posts.
