My guest is Georg Holzmann, founder of Auphonic. He lives in Austria.
We went deeper than usual into audio processing including:
- Machine learning
- Compression
- Noise reduction
- Loudness levels
- Handling multiple voices
- Crossgating
We spent time going line by line through the fascinating Audio Processing Statistics that Auphonic provides after you process a piece of audio.
During the show we discussed the screenshot shown here, which contains these data:
- Programme Loudness
- Max Peak Level
- Loudness Range (LRA)
- Max Momentary Loudness
- Max Shortterm Loudness
- Leveler Gain mean
- Leveler Gain min
- Leveler Gain max
- SNR mean
- Background Level mean
- Signal Level mean
I also asked him about how voices with different EQ appear different in loudness, as well as if there are cases for which I should process the audio a bit first before using Auphonic.
We appreciate you hanging with us, Georg!

Informative interview for me as a non-techie user of Auphonic. I recently purchased the app, AudioMaster. How would you compare and contrast this service with Auphonic?
Hey Martin! I’ve never heard of AudioMaster. Maybe after you’ve used both you could tell your experience?
Chris,
I will do that! I will test AudioMaster today on a short interview. I recently purchased extra time on Auphonic for my longer interviews. Today I did an interview with BossJock app and then opened it in AudioMaster. AudioMaster has a “compare” button, so you could hear the difference between the original recording and the mastering file.
