Audyllic - Optimod audio processing for podcasters
Let every word be heard!
Audyllic is a Software as a service (SaaS) that enables the reduction of dynamic range (the ratio between the loudest and softest sounds) for speech and music audio files such as podcasts or audiobooks to make listening in noisy environments (particularly the car) much less difficult and a more pleasant experience.
Your audience doesn’t listen to podcasts in a near perfect audio environment such as your studio, they listen at home, at work, in cars, in gyms or outdoors on headphones, where there’s often some background noise.
All these issues can find your listeners constantly reaching for the volume control or rewind button.
If this happens too often you may lose your hard won audience!
Audyllic is simple to use and processes your podcast audio at around 6x faster than real time. (so a half hour podcast takes around five minutes to process).
For Audio book producers, using Audyllic makes passing the Audible ACX tests much easier! try it at ACX Lab and see!
With Audyllic you can access Optimod’s pro-audio techniques for less than the price of a coffee!
How it works
Using Audyllic, you can now access professional broadcast grade audio processing for your audio files, using the legendary Orban ‘Optimod’ audio processing technology.
The best-in-class broadcast standard ‘Optimod’ audio processing algorithms perform intelligent automatic gain control, automatic equalization, multi-band gain control, peak level control, peak to average reduction as well as stereo enhancement and phase skew correction, with intelligent automatic loudness control applied to the -16LUF standard.
It controls the dynamic range and spectral balance to make it easier and more pleasant to listen to, as well as making the audio more intelligible, especially in environments such as in the car, at work, or other places with background noise.
Audyllic’s Optimod professional grade audio processing can reduce the dynamic range of the program in a way that sounds natural and realistic, while giving the listener the illusion that nothing has been changed.
Audyllic is a professional grade specialist audio tool, and to achieve optimum results, it needs to be fed with professional grade audio, that is to say any room echo or reverb or should be eliminated, ideally by recording in a suitably acoustically dead environment, or if this is not possible, by use of a noise reduction or de-reverb plug-in for example Waves Clarity or iZotope RX. However it is better to have good audio in the first place, rather than spend time and effort fixing it afterwards. The adage ‘garbage in = garbage out’ is never more true!
High quality audio welcomes the listener and doesn’t distract them from the content of the show, you so that they’re able really enjoy listening, learning, or being entertained … professional sound quality will make your content sound more credible and emphasizes your message.
Audyllic focuses on doing one job well – It is not an audio ‘Swiss army knife’. (While they’re very versatile and do lots of things, they don’t do one specific thing better than any other tool).
For best results you should use ‘clean’ audio – Don’t compress or limit your audio file before using Audyllic.
