The Saltwaves suite
One studio. Many tools.
Everything is built on the same principle: pro audio results without the pro audio learning curve.
Built by a sound engineer with 20 years behind the console — not scraped data.
Live sound. Broadcast. TV. Streaming. That experience is baked into every decision the chain makes.
“Saltwaves is a really smooth tool that makes a clear difference right away. Excited to follow where this goes!”

FAQ
Fair questions.
We process, deliver, and delete. Uploads go away after processing; mastered files within 48 hours — all plans, pre-v2.
.wav, .mp3, and .m4a, up to 200 MB on the free tier.
Auphonic runs generic loudness algorithms. PodMaster is trained on real studio sessions curated by a broadcast engineer with 20 years behind the console — it makes the same calls a human would.
PodMaster is built for spoken word — that's the entire point. Episodes with music beds and intros work, but the chain is tuned for voice, not for mastering music releases. If your show is music-heavy, tell us — it helps us prioritize.
Typically a few minutes per episode. You upload, we process, and the finished file lands in your inbox — no need to keep the tab open.
Processing runs on our own hardware inside the EU. Nothing is sent to third-party services, and files are deleted after delivery.
Nothing. Upload your raw recording — no pre-processing, no noise reduction, no EQ. The chain works best on untouched audio.
The chain processes one file end to end, with one set of decisions. It's built for a consistent source — a solo host, a narrator, a single mic in a single room. Interviews recorded to one track will process, but two voices with different mics or different rooms are better handled as separate files.
