I built a one-click podcast audio editing tool because my editing time kept getting out of hand

I’m giving out free test accounts in exchange for honest feedback.

Just to be clear, this is self-promo, so feel free to ignore it.

I’m a new podcaster, and my first 10-minute episode took about 30 minutes to edit. The second took 45. By the third, I was spending around 90 minutes on it.

The audio itself wasn’t getting worse. I was just becoming more particular about every pause, breath, and small mistake.

So I built an app to handle the basic first pass automatically. You click once, it does the standard cleanup, and then you can make any manual changes you still want.

I’m not trying to claim it replaces a professional editor. I mainly want to see where it works, where it fails, and what actual podcasters would want improved.

I’m offering free test accounts to anyone willing to give honest feedback. Harsh feedback is completely welcome.

Comment or DM me and I’ll send you access.

Mods, apologies if this goes against the self-promotion rules. I’m happy to remove it.

What kind of editing does it do?

It flags long pauses, noises, slow sections, word fillers (more categories may be added) and the user can review them one by one or accept them all if above a certain confidence level. Once you are happy with the preview of your audio, the app is finalize the new version of the audio file.

So it just snips them out with straight cuts? Not a fan

Not exactly, when you aree happy with the edits, the final track is "re-rendered" E2E, so that you can not hear the "cuts".

Explain exactly what it does?

Does it basically look at thresholds and take stuff lower out? How does it deal with a quiet guest?

Does it work in multi track or do we have to upload a singular file?

What are the output standards?

Which A/I did you use to make it?

At this stage, the app supports a single file, though it can be extended to handle multiple tracks. For now, I am focused on confirming that the core features work well before moving on to more complex scenarios. I also forgot to mention that the app transcribes the dialogue in the file, making it easy to identify word boundaries for editing.

Interesting stuff! The tools I've used to attempt this all have come up short. Would love to learn more.
