Set up a multi-track production in Auphonic

Step-by-step

1. Select New Multitrack Production in Auphonic
2. Upload the first audio file and assign a speaker name to the track
3. Configure track settings including Noise Reduction, Leveler Strength, and Music Classification
4. Set the Stereo Pan/Ducking priority (Foreground, Background, or Auto)
5. Click Add Audio Track to repeat the process for additional speakers
6. Select the Output File format and enable Speech Recognition if a transcript is needed
7. Enable Crossgate to remove mic bleed and set the Adaptive Noise Gate to default
8. Save the configuration as a Preset for future use and click Start Production

Options

• Toggle Noise Reduction on or off per track
• Use Whisper for speech recognition
• Enable Automatic Show Notes
• Switch to Broadcast Mode for advanced leveling
• Select Dialog Loudness under Program Loudness settings

Watch out for

• High-quality files (like 22GB folders) may take significant time to process
• Ensure Music Classification is set to Speech Track for vocal recordings to avoid incorrect processing

Tips

• Leave the track priority at Auto; the software is usually smart enough to figure out foreground and background levels on its own
• Use the Crossgate feature if speakers were recorded in the same room to eliminate audio bleed between microphones
• Stick to the default leveler settings as they are generally sufficient for most podcasts
• Save your multitrack setup as a preset to avoid manually configuring ducking and leveling for every episode
