Facebook is not only a social media giant, the company also provides valuable tools for broadcasting. Today we release a connection to Facebook, which allows to use the Facebook tools for video/audio production and publishing within Auphonic and our connected services.

The following workflows are possible with Facebook and Auphonic:
  • Use Facebook for live streaming, then import, process and distribute the audio/video with Auphonic.
  • Post your Auphonic audio or video productions directly to the news feed of your Facebook Page or User.

    Update 2021:
    Unfortunately Facebook no longer allows us to export videos directly to your user ...

Unlike videos, podcasts are hard to share on social media.
Auphonic can now generate shareable videos from audio files, including a dynamically generated waveform and your cover image (or possible chapter images) as background.

Once in a while it is necessary to convert big audio or video archives to new formats and metadata conventions, other servers, new loudness targets or apply some audio processing/restoration algorithms.
Now we offer a managed processing of archives to companies and institutions, where we adapt our algorithms and workflows to special requirements of our clients, implement all steps (no need to program the Auphonic API yourself) and perform the whole process on dedicated hardware to speed-up the conversion.

We finally released our new Auphonic Multitrack Desktop App for Mac OS X and Windows!

Auphonic Multitrack takes multiple input audio tracks, analyzes and processes them individually as well as combined and creates the final mixdown automatically.
Leveling, dynamic range compression, gating, noise and hum reduction, crosstalk removal, ducking and filtering can be applied automatically according to the analysis of each track.
Loudness normalization and true peak limiting is used on the final mixdown.

Users of the Adaptive Leveler will automatically get a discount of -33% for Auphonic Multitrack.

Please visit our Auphonic Multitrack Processor Page for more information!

The Auphonic Multitrack Algorithms were released for paying users only, because they need much more processing time and are more complicated to use.
Now we opened them for free users as well, so that everyone can try our Multitrack Algorithms for short productions up to 20 minutes!

A few days ago a discussion in the Freak Show podcast pointed to an interesting BBC research project to render audio waveforms in the browser.
We now added a new output file format (Waveform Data File), which is generated by the open source tool audiowaveform and can be used to display interactive audio waveform data using the Peaks.js java script library. Here is an example screenshot:

The tool includes features to zoom in waveforms, to mark segments in audio files (could be interesting for chapter marks) and can be easily integrated ...
