A few days ago we added audio processing statistics to Auphonic productions, which display details about what our algorithms are changing in your audio file.
Some classifier results and processing steps are also shown directly in the player audio waveform and all statistics can be exported via the Auphonic API or the new output file format Audio Processing Statistics.
This article explains how to use and interpret the Auphonic Audio Processing Statistics.

UPDATE 2017:
Some information here is outdated - please see the documentation of our new audio processing statistics and inspector instead: Auphonic Audio Inspector Help

We are happy to announce that Blubrry Media Hosting, one of the most popular podcast hosting services, is now supported by Auphonic! You can export your processed audio files to Blubrry and various other services automatically.
Furthermore we integrated WebDAV, which is used by many cloud storage providers, for incoming and outgoing file transfers.

Auphonic to Blubrry Integration

Blubrry, part of RawVoice, Inc., is a podcasting veteran and famous for the open source PowerPress Podcasting plugin for wordpress, for Media Hosting and Media Statistics.

With the support of Angelo Mandato, we implemented Blubrry media ...

As we have described last week in Chapter Marks for MP3, MP4 Audio and Vorbis Comment, chapter marks are a great way to make your podcasts more informative and searchable. But while chapters are incredibly convenient for listeners to have, they are also a lot of work for producers to create!

At Auphonic, we therefore offer several features to import chapters from your favourite audio editors and other sources, that make the creation of chapter marks much easier. Choose your option:

  1. Add Chapter Marks through the Web Interface
  2. Add Chapter Marks while Recording with our Mobile App
  3. Import ...

Do you know what's great about text? It's really easy to find stuff! You just do a quick search on that website you bookmarked last week, and boom! – there is the name of that book that you had read about, but whose title you had forgotten. But on the downside, text is not always the best medium to consume information, for example while you are driving a car. That's why we like podcasts: you can listen to them while you are driving, walking, exercising, etc. Podcasts keep your hands free and your eyes on the environment around you.

Today we launched the open source Auphonic Mobile App for Android – download it from the Google Play Store!

UPDATE: we released a new Android App in 2016!

Some impressions:

It includes the same features as our Auphonic Mobile App for iOS:

In contrast to the iOS version, on Android it's also possible to create productions from pre-existing local audio and video files!

At the moment the Auphonic Audio Recorder is supported for Android ...

Finally we found some time to collect a few listening examples for our audio algorithms – thanks to all the people who provided audio files!
Everything is processed automatically and you can try Auphonic yourself with the unprocessed files and will get the same results.

The official Auphonic Audio Example page is here: Audio Examples.
We will extend this page with further examples, so let us know if you have some great ones!

Listen to the following examples with headphones to hear all details.

Getting started with podcasting can be a laborious process, because it costs time to produce and money to host a podcast.

At Auphonic, we are constantly trying to make this process simpler and cheaper, not just through our own free automatic audio post production web service, but also by offering tight integration with various third-party services.

In this article, we will show you how to set up a podcast in a few minutes for free. The final solution includes a blog with a feed from which your listener's can directly access your audio and video files, all hosted on ...

In case you have not noticed already, Auphonic now supports Amazon S3 and Archive.org as external services. Archive.org, also known as the 'Internet Archive', is a great service for publicly hosting audio and video files for free. Amazon S3, on the other hand, provides both free and affordable services for public or private file storage, featuring better download speeds and high durability. S3 also interfaces with Glacier, Amazon's cheap solution for long-term archiving and backups of data that does not require rapid access.

Similarly to our support for Dropbox, YouTube, Soundcloud, Libsyn, and ...

Have you ever wondered how loud your audio productions should be? So have we, because it's a quite tricky question to answer!

On the one hand, you want to make sure your productions are loud enough. For example, they should still appear at a reasonable level in noisy environments (car, airplane, etc.), and their loudness should be comparable to that of other programs, no matter whether those are produced by yourself or by others.

On the other hand, you certainly don't want to compromise sound quality for sheer loudness. We have discussed in Audio loudness measurement and normalization with ...
