Frequently Asked Questions
What settings for podcasts?
Start from the Podcast preset (threshold -24 dB, ratio 4:1, attack 5 ms, release 50 ms, makeup +3 dB): whispers lift, shouts tame, nothing pumps. Music and Voice Over presets retune the same six knobs — adjust by ear from there.
Compression vs normalization?
Compression squeezes dynamics first (then makeup gain); normalization only shifts overall level. Uneven recordings need compression; uniformly quiet ones need normalization.
Will it sound squashed?
Only with aggressive ratios (8:1+) and fast release — pumping artifacts. Conservative podcast settings stay transparent.
Does leveling upload audio?
No — compression runs locally in your browser. Only saves touch the network — downloads are unlimited.
