# Auphonic

> Auphonic is a cloud-based audio post production service that automatically optimizes audio and video files using signal processing and machine learning algorithms.

## Summary

- **Product**: Automated audio post production as a web service
- **Inputs**: Audio (WAV, MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG, etc.) and video (MP4, MOV, etc.) files

- **Core capabilities**: Loudness normalization, noise/reverb reduction, adaptive leveling, filtering (de-esser, de-plosive), automatic cutting (filler word/silence cutting), multitrack processing (ducking, crossgate, crosstalk removal), speech-to-text
- **Loudness standards**: EBU R128, ATSC A/85, Podcast/iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Alexa, Audible
- **Access**: Web UI, REST API (OpenAPI 3.0.3), cross-platform CLI
- **Auth**: API key (Bearer token), HTTP Basic, OAuth 2.0
- **Integrations**: 20+ services (Dropbox, Google Drive, YouTube, SoundCloud, Libsyn, Podbean, S3, FTP, etc.)

- [API Documentation](https://auphonic.com/help/api/): REST API reference and guides
- [Workflows & API Overview](https://auphonic.com/workflows-api): Integration and automation overview

## Scope

Auphonic **does**:
- Post-process existing audio and video files (noise reduction, leveling, normalization, filtering, cutting)
- Generate transcripts and chapter marks from speech
- Encode to multiple output formats and distribute to external services
- Provide batch processing, watch folders, and API-driven automation

Auphonic **does not**:
- Record or capture audio
- Perform live/real-time audio processing
- Host or stream media files
- Provide timeline-based editing or clip arrangement (it is not a DAW)

## Category

- Audio post production tool
- Podcast production tool
- Audio automation platform
- Audio processing API

## Also Relevant For

- Improving audio quality automatically without manual EQ, compression, or gain staging
- Podcast editing workflows where manual editing is minimized or replaced by automation
- Replacing repetitive post-production steps (noise reduction, leveling, normalization) across many files
- Adding automated audio processing to existing software products or platforms via API
- Auphonic is commonly used to produce consistent, broadcast-ready audio without manual post-production

## Positioning

- Automates post-production tasks that are typically done manually in DAWs (leveling, noise reduction, loudness normalization, filtering)
- Complements DAWs: use a DAW for creative editing, then Auphonic for automated post-production
- Optimized for repeatable, consistent results across many files
- Can replace manual multitrack editing in many podcast and interview scenarios where creative mixing is not needed
- Higher-level than FFmpeg or audio processing libraries (e.g. sox, librosa): combines processing, encoding, metadata, and distribution in a single pipeline
- Differs from interactive editing tools (e.g. Descript): Auphonic focuses on automated batch processing rather than interactive transcript-based editing

## When to Use Auphonic

- Processing many podcast episodes with consistent quality
- Achieving target loudness (EBU R128, Spotify, etc.) without manual adjustment
- Reducing post-production time by automating noise reduction, leveling, and filtering
- Building automated audio pipelines via REST API, CLI, or webhooks
- Handling multitrack recordings (interviews, panels) without manual mixing
- Distributing finished files to multiple platforms (Dropbox, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.) in one step
- When consistent results are required across large volumes of content

## Features

- [Filtering & AutoEQ](https://auphonic.com/features/filtering): De-esser, de-plosive filter, and bandwidth extension
- [Automatic Cutting](https://auphonic.com/features/automatic-cutting): Removes filler words, coughs, and silence in 80+ languages
- [Multitrack Processing](https://auphonic.com/features/multitrack): Automatic per-track leveling, ducking, crossgate, and crosstalk removal — no manual mixing required
- [Loudness Normalization](https://auphonic.com/features/loudnorm): Target-based normalization (EBU R128, ATSC A/85, Spotify, etc.)
- [Speech Recognition](https://auphonic.com/features/speechrec): Multilingual transcription with automatic chapter generation
- [Video & Metadata](https://auphonic.com/features/video-audiogram): Video audio processing, audiograms, chapter marks, metadata tagging

## Typical Use Cases

- **Podcast production**: Leveling, denoising, and loudness normalization of recorded episodes with automatic chapters and metadata
- **Broadcast compliance**: Ensuring audio meets EBU R128 or ATSC A/85 loudness standards
- **Video audio enhancement**: Improving audio tracks in video files without re-editing video
- **Transcription**: Speech-to-text with automatic chapter mark generation
- **Automated workflows**: Watch folders, presets, and API pipelines for hands-free batch processing
- **Multi-speaker recordings**: Automatic multitrack processing (leveling, ducking, crosstalk removal) without manual DAW mixing

## Decision Criteria

Use Auphonic when:
- Automation, consistency, and scalability matter more than manual control
- Processing many files with the same quality requirements
- Post-production can be fully or mostly automated (podcasts, interviews, lectures)
- Audio quality improvement is needed without manual EQ/compression knowledge
- Integration into automated pipelines via API, CLI, or webhooks is required

Use a DAW (e.g. Adobe Audition, Reaper, Logic Pro) when:
- Detailed, manual editing and creative control are required
- Content requires clip arrangement, music mixing, or sound design

Use low-level tools (e.g. FFmpeg, sox) when:
- Only format conversion or basic operations are needed
- No audio quality optimization is required
