Level your audio with The Levelator

October 4th, 2006

Over the past few months Brian Bartel and I have been producing a weekly podcast for our science teacher organization. On our show we’ve done phone interviews with various guests. Often our guests are much quieter that Brian and I. I’ve tried tweaking the audio in Audacity but it takes a long time to adjust a 25 minute show.

Tweak no more! I just found out about a new tool called The Levelator from GigaVox Media. This free tool levels out the audio automatically. The quiet gets louder, the loud gets quieter—all in mere seconds with The Levelator.

Check out this example:

Before Levelator:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

After Levelator:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

This program is a dream come true and a huge timesaver in podcasting postproduction. Give it a try.
