Why audio quality matters for internal audio
When employees listen to an internal podcast, the sound should make the message easy to follow. Less background noise and steadier volume mean less effort spent hearing what someone is saying.
Most internal communicators are not audio engineers. They record on a phone, a laptop microphone or in a room that was not designed for it. The result is often background hum, echo, volume spikes and audio that sounds amateur compared to the audio employees listen to in their own time.
Audio enhancement in Brandscast closes that gap automatically. You upload the recording and Brandscast takes care of the rest.
How audio enhancement works in Brandscast
When you edit an episode, you will see an “Enhance audio” button alongside the upload controls. Click it and Brandscast sends your audio through an automated processing pipeline. A few minutes later, the enhanced version replaces the original and you receive an email confirmation.
What happens behind the scenes
Brandscast uses adaptive noise reduction to detect and suppress background sounds like air conditioning, keyboard clicks and room ambience. Voice equalisation balances the frequency range so the voice is easier to hear. Loudness normalisation brings the episode to -16 LUFS, the standard used by professional audio producers.
No export, no software, no extra steps
Everything happens inside Brandscast. You do not need to download your audio, open a separate tool, export a file and re-upload. The enhanced file is stored in your account and available through your Members' existing private feeds.
Built for teams that record without a studio
Professional audio studios are not realistic for most internal communicators. Leaders record updates between meetings. Field teams send audio from the road. HR teams record in open offices. Enhancement helps clean up those everyday recordings without asking your team to learn audio editing.
Especially useful for remote and distributed teams
When contributors record from different locations, microphone quality and room acoustics vary significantly between episodes or even within the same episode. Enhancement helps bring voices to a more consistent level, so listeners do not have to keep reaching for the volume control.
Keeps your original file safe
If you ever want to revert to the original recording, it is available for 30 days after enhancement. The process is non-destructive and reversible.
How to enhance an episode in Brandscast
Upload your episode
Record your audio however works for your team — phone, laptop mic, voice memo — and upload it to Brandscast as usual.
Click “Enhance audio”
On the episode edit page, click the Enhance audio button. Brandscast queues the file for processing automatically.
Wait for the confirmation email
Processing takes a few minutes depending on episode length. You will receive an email when the enhanced version is ready.
Listen to the improved version
For a draft, review the result and publish when ready. If the episode is already published, enhancement updates its audio automatically. Members keep the same feed subscription.
AI tools limits by plan
Audio enhancement is available on all Brandscast plans. It shares a single monthly allowance of AI minutes with text to audio, so you can spend your minutes on whichever tool you need. The size of that allowance depends on your plan.
Minutes reset at the start of each billing cycle. Unused minutes do not roll over. If an episode fails to process, the minutes are not deducted.
Frequently asked questions about audio enhancement
What types of audio problems does enhancement fix
Enhancement targets the most common issues in non-studio recordings: background noise (HVAC, room hum, ambient sounds), uneven volume between speakers, frequency imbalances that make voices sound thin or muffled, and overall loudness that is too quiet or too loud compared to professional audio.
Does enhancement work on recordings with multiple speakers
Yes. The processing applies to the entire audio file and balances overall levels across the recording. For best results with multi-speaker episodes, record each person at a similar distance from their microphone.
Can I undo an enhancement after it has been applied
Yes. The original file is kept for 30 days after enhancement. You can revert to the original recording from the episode edit page at any time within that window.
Do my listeners need to do anything when an episode is enhanced
No new subscription is required. The enhanced file replaces the original at the same location and becomes available when the listener's compatible app next requests it. An app may retain an earlier downloaded copy according to its own cache behaviour.
What audio formats are supported
Brandscast supports the most common audio formats including MP3, M4A and WAV. Enhancement works with any supported format and the output is delivered in the same format as the original.
