Content Creator Audio Toolkit

Bring superior audio to podcasts, videos, and live streams

For Better Audience Engagement, Create Better Audio

From live video streams to audiobooks, “good” is no longer good enough. Listeners and viewers will tune out if there’s background noise, lifeless narration, or widely varying levels. So, solve these problems—quickly and easily—with the Content Creator Audio Toolkit’s curated plugins.

These solution-oriented tools improve quality, and meet loudness standards for Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Apple Music, and YouTube. There’s no simpler way to add a pro polish to your audio.

Greg Wells VoiceCentric

Greg Wells has worked with the world’s finest vocalists: Adele, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, Pharrell Williams, to name a few. Now, you can access his techniques with a few simple controls—and instantly improve your vocals.

“I’m always asked how I make a vocal recording sound like a polished hit vocal mix. This is where VoiceCentric takes you. I’ve put all my studio experience into chains that react how and when I want them to—and captured that in one main control.”

“There’s a lot going on behind the main Intensity knob: certain elements kick in only once you reach 60% or even 80%. This means you get many different flavors just by playing with that one knob. This is my take on a world-class mixed vocal sound—I hope you like it.”—Greg Wells

NS1 Noise Suppressor

When there’s a contest between voice and noise, NS1 gives the voice a huge advantage. NS1’s single control ties in with sophisticated, “under the hood” technology to analyze the audio, separate the voice from the noise, apply noise reduction, and deliver clean audio—all in real time.

The straightforward operation speeds up workflow, and banishes problems quickly and effectively. There’s only one option that’s simpler than NS1: not having any noise in the first place.

Playlist Rider

It’s such a hassle to balance levels of all the audio feeds involved in broadcasts, podcasts, panel discussions, theater groups, pre-show music and so on. Playlist Rider makes your life easier. Set the mixer input levels, load the master bus with Playlist Rider, and let it ride the output to your target level.

There’s even an option to match the tonal character of the various feeds, which adds the kind of professional touch that makes content stand out. Fast and easy to use, Playlist Rider is essential.
