How to Replace Auphonic

Overview

Auphonic is an all-in-one audio post-production tool that uses AI-powered algorithms to automatically enhance audio quality. It helps content creators achieve professional-grade results through noise reduction, intelligent leveling, speech recognition, and automated workflows without requiring technical audio engineering knowledge.

Features

24 features across 10 categories

Audio Enhancement(10)

Automatic Music Segment CuttingAI

Automatically detects and cuts music segments from productions while preserving desired content.

Cut Filler Words, Coughs and SilenceAI

Automatically detects and removes silent segments, pauses, coughs, throat-clearings, sneezes, and filler words in multiple languages. Provides manual editing in Auphonic Audio Inspector.

Filtering, AutoEQ & Bandwidth ExtensionAI

Automatically analyzes and optimizes frequency spectrum, removing sibilance (De-Esser) and plosives (De-Plosive). Creates time-dependent EQ profiles per speaker and recovers high frequencies from archival recordings.

Intelligent LevelerAI

Balances levels between speakers, music, and speech using adaptive compression technology. Learns from over five years of training data and prevents amplification of unwanted noises.

Loudness Specifications

Defines target loudness, true peak limit, MaxLRA, and other parameters for consistency across files and compliance with platform requirements (Audible, Netflix, Spotify, EBU R128, ATSC A/85, etc.).

Mic Bleed RemoverAI

Removes unwanted microphone bleed in multitrack productions for cleaner individual tracks.

Multitrack AlgorithmsAI

Processes multiple input tracks to create optimized mixdown with automatic ducking, noise gate, and mic bleed removal. Handles speech tracks, music tracks, and remote speakers.

Noise & Reverb ReductionAI

Advanced AI denoising algorithm that removes static or fast-changing noises while preserving music and desired content. Includes classifiers to detect music, breaths, and mouth noises with adjustable reduction levels.

RMS-based Loudness Normalization

Loudness normalization specifically calibrated for Audible and ACX requirements.

Static and Music DenoiserAI

Specialized denoising algorithm that separately handles static background noise and musical content.
