Bad Audio Destroys Good Videos

Viewers will forgive shaky footage. They will not forgive bad audio. Studies show poor sound quality is the #1 reason viewers abandon a video in the first 10 seconds.

Does your audio sound like this?

These are the most common audio problems we fix every single day.

Wind & outdoor noise

A constant hiss or rumble that makes outdoor recordings unusable.

Room echo & reverb

Recording in an untreated space? The room sounds bigger than your content.

Music overpowering dialogue

Your background music is louder than you. Viewers can't hear what you're saying.

Electrical hum (50/60Hz)

That constant low buzz from cheap equipment or bad grounding.

Inconsistent levels

You go from whispering to suddenly too loud within the same clip.

Too quiet for platform standards

YouTube and Spotify have loudness standards. If you're too quiet, you sound amateur.

Our Process

Studio-quality audio. Every time.

Four steps we apply to every audio project, in order.

01

Noise Reduction

We remove hiss, hum, wind, air conditioning, room echo, and any consistent background noise using iZotope RX, the industry standard for audio repair.

02

EQ & Compression

Shaping the tonal balance of your voice so it sits clearly in the mix. Warm, present, and intelligible. No harsh frequencies, no muddiness.

03

Music Bed Mixing

We duck background music under dialogue automatically using sidechain compression, so music supports the mood without competing with your voice.

04

Loudness Normalization

We deliver your audio at -14 LUFS (YouTube standard) or -16 LUFS (podcast standard) so you always sound professional on every platform.

Common questions about audio enhancement for video

Can you fix really bad audio?

Depends on how bad. We can fix most noise, hum, and echo issues. If the original recording is severely clipped or distorted beyond repair, we'll tell you honestly upfront.

What file formats do you accept?

We accept WAV, MP3, AAC, AIFF, and video files (MP4, MOV, MKV). We extract the audio from video files automatically.

Do I send just the audio or the full video?

Either works. If you want the cleaned audio synced back to your video, send the video file. If you just need the audio files, send those.

Will the audio sound processed or artificial?

No. Our goal is transparent processing. The audio should sound like it was recorded well, not like it was heavily treated.
