I recently had the privilege of speaking with Marcus dePaula. Marcus, from Me Only Louder, has an astonishing career which has contributed extensively to his podcast production company that he runs today. We caught up about his live audio engineering days, his thoughts about the podcasting industry, an insight into his workflow and how he is helping producers all around the world with his new venture; Podcast Creators Lab.

Capital UK voice artist, Howard Ritchie, recently shared his story with me on how Cleanfeed saved him from a catastrophic career disaster, saying: “There are many digital tools I could do without, but not Cleanfeed”.

Learn how a small community theatre group used Cleanfeed to record a play with their remote actors. We caught up with Jim Park, front-of-house sound engineer for Thorold Community Theatre, who explains how “And Then the Lights Went Out” came together.

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.

Not so long ago we announced compatibility for Firefox. Today we’re going one further! Guests will now be able to join a Cleanfeed session using Safari, on macOS. This update concludes our effort to expand support to all mainstream web browsers; achievement unlocked!

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.

Over the last couple of months we’ve quietly introduced a new feature to Cleanfeed that opens up new non-linear workflow possibilities for recording, live performances and more. I’m excited to tell you more about it!

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.

If your New Year’s resolution is to start a podcast and you’re looking to interview guests or have a co-host remotely, here’s how to do it with Cleanfeed.

In these strange times it’s great to hear that people are finding new ways to do the things they love.

Cleanfeed is being used to help actors, writers and theatre groups stage and produce radio dramas and plays with the rapport they feel when face to face.

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.

Today we are announcing 48kHz will be the default sample rate in Cleanfeed, activated in the upcoming release of Chrome 84. If you know the importance of sample rate when it comes to digital audio, then this will be good news for broadcasters, producers and journalists using Cleanfeed.
