![]() Technically, you could use VMWare to simulate a Windows environment so that you can run Levelator. Then it is $11 per month for 9 hours of audio processing per month. The only downside is that after the 2 hour upload limit, this is a paid service. You don’t need to know anything about audio compression. The Intelligent Leveler will balance any differences between speakers, music, and speech. ![]() You can run it through a few different types of algorithms to normalize the audio, level it, or use noise reduction. When it comes to substitutes to Levelator, Auphonic is a great option! You can easily process an audio file by uploading it to the online interface. I hope you find this list helpful, and if you’d also like to look into improving your voice on a podcast, I have some great vocal exercises that you can look into. I’m just as frustrated as you, so I’ve put together a few options that you can explore, as well as how I’ve been getting around this nifty application. What are ya gonna do now? What are some Levelator alternatives out there? This trusty application served me as a quick and dirty way to adjust the audio levels for a podcast when my guest’s voice was louder or more quiet than mind. We’ve got a quick start guide for you.Ahh… the day has finally come where Levelator is no longer compatible with Mac OS (starting with Catalina). ![]() And for many that starts with the live stream recording. Have you used Levelator before? If not, what are you looking forward to using it with?Ĭapturing great audio is key for any editing you do. The only updates that they have and I’m guessing will ever do, is update if an operating system update on Mac OS or Windows breaks the way Levelator works. The creators have not made any plans to add features or anything. NOTE: Levelator is NOT being developed any further. It combines multiple audio processing tools in one, and it doesn’t take up any counter space either! Levelator is another tool that I always keep handy for my audio editing and processing. If you’re audio has other problems, you really need to open it up in a proper editing app like Adobe Audition or Audacity and use the tools or special plugins to properly fix those issues, once fixed though, you can use levelator to do what it does best, or use the editor’s tools to normalize, maximize etc. It’s designed to even out the volume and dynamic levels – not fix glitches. If you audio has buzz or hum, or popping or crackling, Levelator will simply not remove that. The old adage holds true: Garbage in –> Garbage out. So be sure to mute everything BUT the vocal audio you want to clean up. Usually, the levels for those tracks are set lower as a part of the edit and when ‘mushed together’ with the vocal audio in levelator, it can sound weird. The only time I’ve ever encountered odd results is when audio or sound effect tracks are rendered with the vocal audio. Generally, Levelator will do a GREAT job. Once it’s in there, I mute the Pastor’s original vocal audio and the new one is used. NOTE: make sure to line up the audio track with the existing vocal track. I then take the resulting audio file and insert it in to fresh audio track in my edit. I drop that wav audio file on the Levelator app so it can work it’s magic. I make sure to mute any additional audio tracks in my edit that contain music so it won’t confuse the app. When I’m editing a service, I render out the Pastor’s sermon audio – his speech – as a single audio track. Levelator is perfect for quick and easy processing of spoken word vocals. Compress, EQ, normalize, loudness maximizing…and when it’s done it’ll give you a processed and polished audio file you can drop back into your final video. So they took their most used audio processing needs and created a program to do the heavy lifting for them (and you).Īll you have to do is render your audio, drop it into Levelator, and it will do the work for you. Levelator was made by a couple of podcasters who were doing a whole bunch of shows and didn’t have time to do serious audio processing.
