★ THE REVIEW

Auphonic is the boring-good utility your podcast feed has been missing. Drop in your final mix, get back something that meets every platform's loudness target without you knowing what LUFS stands for.

If you're editing in Descript, you can probably skip it. If you're editing in anything else, run every episode through this. Your subscribers' headphones will thank you quietly.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Mastering podcast episodes — and anyone who wants Auphonic to do the heavy lifting in this category.
