I would like to remind people who do audition, that as someone who casts via the internet for projects where the talent will be using their home studio, a full 25% or more of the auditions I receive are rejected for poor audio quality. And if it wasn't this one, it would be another.
There are plenty of people who will abuse or misuse this tool. I don't think anyone is presenting this as a "golden bullet" nor is anyone saying this is a replacement for sound audio knowledge. Unfortunately not everyone can own Waves Platinum or Oxford plug-ins. There are numerous audition and podcast situations where I see Levelator working quite well. No, this isn't something you would want to use all of the time and as a producer and trained engineer, I want audio files for jobs to have no processing done to them. I have been recommending this little software tool for quite some time, along with programs like Spitfish to do some de-esssing.
#Levelator software for mac
Try it and let me know what you think!Ĭlick here to download The Levelator for Mac & PC It’s a no-brainer program with just one function you drag your file onto it, then wait for it to process. No spoken audio leaves my hands now without having been “Levelated.” I use The Levelator for all of my spoken recordings, including commercials and VO demos I produce. The Levelator doesn’t average the volume level if the entire recording is too quiet, it brings everything up to where it needs to be. (I want my auditions to blow people away, but not like that.) suddenly get blasted by a loud part, which causes them to reach for the volume control - or worse, click to the next audition. strain to understand you because the recording level is too low, or 2. When you submit an audition, the last thing you want is for your listener to 1. So long as I set the recording levels so the loud stuff won’t “clip,” I can feel free to go as soft as I want, and The Levelator will bring those parts up to an even keel with the rest. I especially like to play with a character’s intensity - sometimes getting louder, sometimes almost whispering. I tend to put a lot of range into my auditions. I’m not an engineer, so I can’t tell you exactly all the things that it does, but its basic function is to make the levels of a recording even, so that everything is at an appropriate, equal volume. The Levelator is a free, downloadable program for Mac & PC that enhances spoken-word audio. If you aren’t “Levelating” your spoken recordings, odds are they don’t sound as good as they could.
