HOW AUDIO CUPCAKE WORKS (FREE AND PREMIUM)įREE MODE: When users download AudioCupcake, it will operate on sound files in it’s “free” mode in exactly the same way as the Levelator app does: you drag a WAV or AIFF audio file onto it, and it will create a RMS Normalized file to ACX’s audiobook standards, as well as traditional podcasting standards. If you value your time at least $40 per hour, AudioCupcake will pay for itself in the first half-hour you don’t spend playing with your DAW to finish the mastering of your work, and you can move on to more performance. it converts it to a 192k mono mp3 file, ready to upload to ACX and other platforms.Īnd it does it all from your single drag and drop of your raw edited audio files.it peak normalizes the file to -3.0 dB, and.it RMS normalizes your file to between -18 and -23 dB, and then.First, like the free version, AudioCupcake compresses your audio and then.PREMIUM MODE: In addition, for a one time payment of US$19.95, you can unlock the premium features of the app, which not only applies the compression and RMS Normalization the free version does, but it goes further and does those two more things you’d normally use your sound sofware for, automatically: You then will have to drag your compressed/RMS’d files back into your sound software for peak normalization and conversion to MP3, just as you have to do with The Levelator.

Let me know in the comments below, and do be honest – if it’s not, tell me. I’d give it a few weeks to see if there are any last minute issues, but we’re over the proverbial hump.īut…what of AudioCupcake? Is it still worth it for us to continue to develop it? Is it worth $20 for you to have a one-step drag and drop solution that outputs a file ready to upload to ACX or your podcast host without having to manually bring it back into Audacity, peak normalize it and export to MP3? Huzzah!! With Audacity and The Levelator both working on Catalina, I can officially say that our production stack is now usable on the latest Mac models! The Levelator, previously only available as a 32-bit (read: old) application for Mac, is now available in the Mac App Store, updated to work with Catalina, the latest MacOS (and older MacOSes as well: so far, it works all the way back to Sierra.), and I demonstrate installing it and using it in this episode. If you’re an audiobook narrator, or a podcaster, or anyone who needs compressed, limited processing of your sound, here’s some great news: This is super awesome for Mac users only. First, if you use Windows, you can safely ignore this podcast and continue to use The Levelator on your computer.
