More and more in a tiny package! Today we’re launching our new Player, and new enhancements to Cleanfeed Pro. Let’s talk about studio tools.

Dealing with echo in the room? Or your co-host getting picked up on your mic. Whether it’s beginner or intermediate podcasters, you’re not alone in asking these questions. Instead of writing responses on forums, I though I’d write here.

For a long time now our Clips player has enabled broadcasters & podcasters to play audio in a way that’s heard, in full quality, by you and all your guests. Now we’re introducing its cousin: the versatile Player.

I’ve written on the topic of browser compatibilty before. If you use an incompatible browser with Cleanfeed you’ll be directed to use a compatible one on your system. This has led many folks to assume Cleanfeed is “Chrome only” as it was when we launched over 5 years ago, but that hasn’t been the case for a long time now!

I haven’t appeared as guest on a podcast in a while, so it was interesting to appear on Chris Smith’s Podtastic Audio recently. Within a few hours, Chris went from recording session to a published podcast that sounds great — a nice reminder that a technical workflow for a podcast needn’t be over-complex to get professional results.

When we started Cleanfeed, web-based audio was very much in its infancy. As early adopters we had to focus on very limited browsers to provide a reliable Cleanfeed experience while they matured. A lot has changed in those years, so it’s time to spread our wings a little: starting right now, a guest can join with Firefox!

The clean in Cleanfeed is all about getting your audio from one side of the world to the other, un-altered. But what happens when you need something beyond that? Find out about our audio repair tools.

The global pandemic bought some unexpected growth, directing much of our development effort behind the scenes on scaling and stability, or specialist features for particular sectors we deal with. So it’s nice to be able to talk about a new feature at the front-end for a change; and one that aids in the work people are doing with Cleanfeed Pro right now.

We’re changing “connect” links to be 24 hours by default. If you’re a user of “unlimited” invites (perhaps a broadcaster or studio engineer) read on.

This question comes up a lot in forums. and we love it that podcasters are realising the creative potential of having guests from anywhere in the world. Though there’s some useful information to answer the question, there’s also some mis-information, and even downright complicated solutions.

Here at Cleanfeed we’ve got access to a range of broadcast and recording engineers, so let’s use some experience to discuss these options, and perhaps even set the record straight in some cases!

We’ve identified a bug in Chrome 77 that means the browser struggles with some professional audio interfaces on the Mac. If you can’t hear the other person or see the meter moving, then this post has a fix for that specific issue.

After a beta period, it’s time for our multitrack recording feature to go mainstream, and this is a ‘heads up’. If you’ve been using the beta, read on for how you’ll be affected from the week of 12th August.

It was going to be just a regular software update, but there’s so many smaller things here it seems worth of a blog post. So festival season is in full swing, and we’ve got a festival of updates for you!

We started Cleanfeed to enable people to create great content; by connecting the world in live, high definition audio.

Today we’re announcing a small change to our definition of ‘individual’ (previously ‘personal’) use. It means more podcasters and individuals can benefit from Cleanfeed Pro at over 35% off the full price. And our standard Cleanfeed is still available for all, for free, too.

We’re continuing to develop our multitrack recording feature, which gives podcasters and producers new powers in post-production whilst keeping your audio totally in-sync. Today we unleash new code which includes something simple, and effective — the ability to save a bundle of all tracks together.
