How to mix and master your podcast with AI

Updated this week

Mixing and mastering your podcast audio is HARD work. That’s probably why you’re reading this article in the first place.

In the past, removing background noise, balancing the volume of speakers, removing unwanted frequencies, and achieving a professional sound for your podcast meant you needed to learn audio production from the ground up. You needed to get a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), and learn how to use plugins like equalizers, compressors, spectrograms, and more.

It was a LOT of work.

But now, thanks to advances in AI, there’s an easier way. In this article, we’ll show you how to automatically mix and master your podcast with Enhance by Resound.

How it works (Step-by-step)

Note: This video contains outdated UI. We will update the video soon.

  1. Log into Resound at app.resound.fm

  2. Upload your file(s)

  3. Resound processes your audio

  4. Open the Resound Editor, click Enhance, adjust settings and click "Run Enhance Audio"

  5. Listen to your audio, turning Enhance off if you want to compare before/after.

  6. Review other edits Resound detected (optional)

  7. Export Enhanced file(s) to upload to your podcast hosting app or continue editing

Enhance FAQs

Exporting Enhanced Files

Simply click Export and select the right file format to export an enhanced file from Resound. Resound will export whatever files you are currently listening to in the app. If Enhance is on, the exported files will be enhanced. If Enhance is off, the exported files will be your original audio files.

You can export both a merged Enhanced file in Resound AND individual enhanced files. Simply click the button to include individual tracks when exporting if you wish to do so. The individual enhanced files will sound slightly different than the master file because it has not been run through all the same algorithms as the master merged track. But you will still notice noise reduction and overall improvement.

How do I compare my original audio and Enhanced audio in Resound?

If you want to compare your Original audio to the Enhanced audio, simply click on Editor Settings in the Resound Editor and turn Enhanced off. This will switch the editor back to your old files so you can hear and see the difference. You can toggle this on and off as many times as you want.

How will I know when my file is done Enhancing?

If your Enhanced file is still processing when you click the “Enhance toggle”, you will see an indicator that says “Enhancing” at the top of the Editor. You will also see a message pop up in the bottom right corner of the app once it’s done. If your file is already DONE being enhanced, the file will swap out instantly and you can just click play to hear the results.

How does Resound work behind the scenes?

Resound runs your audio file(s) through a series of audio algorithms powered by AI. We developed this feature in collaboration with a Lead Mixing Engineer from Resonate Recordings to dial in our enhancement algorithm to meet their high-quality standards. The results speak for themselves.

👉 The bottom line? If you export an Enhanced MP3 file from Resound, you can rest assured that your file has been optimized to meet the streaming standard for podcast apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. That means it’s been mastered to -16 LUFS and has a 128 kbps bitrate.

Do I have to keep the window open when enhancing audio?

Nope! Feel free to close the Editor or even leave the app. Enhance will keep working in the background. Just come back later to hear the results!

Why is Enhance preventing me from exporting?

Sometimes you'll see the export button is greyed out, and you cannot export a file. If you hover it says "Can't export until at least one edit is made or Enhance is enabled and completed."

This means you have to made one Cut, wait for Enhance to complete, or disable Enhance to export your project.

If Enhance is on, Resound will export your enhanced file. If Enhance is off, Resound will export your unmixed file with any edits you made applied as well.

Does Enhance work with files that have music in them?

For an optimal mix and master, we recommend uploading your individual speech tracks to Resound without music. If you have multiple speakers, try to record each speaker on a dedicated track and upload each track to Resound. Learn more about multitrack editing in Resound here.

That said, you can upload a single track with music and speakers directly into Resound and still get a decent result.
