Introducing Compression and Voice Clarity Audio Filters in Meld Studio

Wanting to have professional-quality audio for your streams and recordings should not require a professional home studio. Today we're bringing two new audio filters to Meld Studio: Compression and Voice Clarity. These tools bring you closer to studio-like audio and make it easier to create recordings and streams without having to do too much configuring.

Whether you're recording for a podcast, producing music, streaming a video game, or conducting an online tournament, your audio quality can be the factor that decides whether your viewers stay or tune out. Background noise and inconsistencies in volume levels are two of the most common audio issues that creators find themselves facing. Good thing Meld Studio intends to remedy that, right?

Compression Audio Filter

In case you didn't know, audio compression is a dynamic range processor that automatically balances your audio levels. It will reduce the volume of loud sounds while bringing up quieter parts, creating consistent audio throughout your streams and recordings without having to make manual edits.

Audio Ducking

With the Compression filter you are capable of audio ducking, which is considered the "secret sauce" behind so many professional sounding streams. Audio Ducking automatically lowers your background music or game audio the moment you start speaking, then smoothly brings it back up once you stop. This means your voice always comes through loud and clear without having to mess with the sliders for your other audio tracks mid-stream.

Add the Compression filter to your music or game audio, set your microphone as the sidechain, and then Meld will take care of the rest! Use the settings to adjust how sensitive the ducking will be and how quickly your audio fades back in after you're done talking.

Benefits of Compression Audio

There are a few essential benefits to using the compression filter in Meld Studio.

• No Volume Inconsistencies - Listeners won't have to adjust their volume to make sure they're hearing the loud and the quiet parts of your content. Compression will keep your audio at a steady level.
• Professional Sound Quality - Achieve audio that can rival expensive studio recordings. Compression can give your voice warmth and presence while preventing any distortion from peaks.
• Save Time Editing - No more adjusting your audio levels manually while editing your content.
• Podcast & Voiceover Production Value - Your voice stays the main focus with natural dynamics preserved.
• Improved Music Production - Helps your tracks fit better in a mix and creates a cohesive final product for your music.

Any creator can benefit from using the compression filter to make their voice and equipment sound better.

Voice Clarity Audio Filter

Users have been requesting a great noise suppressor in Meld Studio, and we're delivering with this audio filter. Voice Clarity is a cutting-edge noise suppression technology that is unlike traditional noise gates by identifying and removing background noise while preserving the natural quality of your voice.

Benefits of Voice Clarity

• Removes Background Noise - Eliminates common background sounds like fan noise, air conditioning hum, keyboard typing, and room echo. By distinguishing between unwanted noise and your actual audio, it ensures your voice stays clear.
• Record & Stream Anywhere - Forget about soundproofing a specific room anymore. Voice Clarity gives you the freedom to create content from any location without sacrificing your audio quality.
• Preserve Natural Audio - With traditional noise reduction, voices can sound robotic or over-processed. Voice Clarity maintains the natural character of your voice while only removing the unwanted sounds.
• Better Than Traditional - Traditional noise gates can cut off sound below a volume threshold, which can make you sound unnatural or even cut you off mid-speaking. Voice Clarity will continuously analyze your audio and provide smooth noise reduction.

If you're someone who finds yourself with a lot of background noise getting picked up from your microphone, then this is going to be a great audio tool for you!

With Audio Powers Combined

You can take these two audio filters and use them separately or together. It's in your wheelhouse to decide how to utilize these audio filters for your content. Combining Compressor and Voice Clarity can deliver quality results to enhance your audio. Recordings and streams will sound clear, polished, and professional no matter if you're working from a quiet bedroom or from a noisy coffee shop.

Voice Clarity removes background noise first to give you a clean audio signal. Then Compression balances the levels of your audio to ensure that the volume remains consistent.

Add Audio Filters to Meld

Both filters are designed to work right out of the box in the same way other filters work. Go to your Audio Track (such as your Microphone) and click the '+' at the top to select your effect. Enable Compression and/or Voice Clarity and adjust the settings until it gives you the best results.

Conclusion

With Compression and Voice Clarity available in Meld Studio, professional audio quality has become easier to accomplish. Having crisp, clear audio is no longer limited to those with expensive gear and acoustic treatment. Whether you're brand new to content creation or a seasoned creator, these filters give you the tools you need for professional audio.
