Cleanfeed Launches New Studio Tools for Podcasters and Broadcasters

Cleanfeed, a collaboration tool for high definition, live audio and recording in your browser, takes feedback and experiences from the professional radio industry and launches its enhanced studio tools, improving the service for podcasters and broadcasters, globally. 

Cleanfeed has become an established go-to service for broadcasters, podcasters, journalists, radio and just about anyone that requires the need to broadcast or record in high-definition audio, straight from their browser. Striving to continually improve the user and guest experience, Cleanfeed today announce the launch of their enhanced studio tools. The tools, all housed in your web browser with no requirement for any external hardware or software include: enhancements to our existing Clips feature, and a new Player for longer cuts of audio.

The tools give podcasters and broadcasters the functionality of a professional radio studio, straight out of their laptop. Features now give users the opportunity to give their listeners and guests a finished production experience, including the ability to play intro and background music, host a panel show or quiz with sound effects, review music, have guests comment on interviews or even play voxes from the public. 

Cleanfeed continues to be everything you would expect from their service, high quality audio, very responsive yet straight forward in appearance and incredibly powerful. 

Marc Bakos, co-founder of Cleanfeed comments: “As business owners we are continually striving to take feedback directly from our users, as well as industry professionals, to ensure we are servicing our community with the best user experience possible. The new enhanced tools really reinforce that creativity is only ever limited by our imagination and we are excited about the possibilities that these features open for everyone who uses them.”

Mandy Morrow, Director at Crew Radio, comments: “Cleanfeed has been powering our radio station and it keeps getting better! The new Player and updated Clips allow us to produce our recorded shows as if they were live, giving us a finished sound which our audience loves. Its simplicity and ease of use means we’ve not had to look elsewhere to integrate audio into our remote shows, we can do it right from inside Cleanfeed!” 

Cleanfeed Introduces Compatibility for Safari as the First Platform Available on any Mainstream Browser

London, United Kingdom – Cleanfeed, a collaboration tool for high definition, live audio, and recording, in your browser are pleased to announce compatibility for Safari. Following a recent announcement on Firefox, the update comes in an effort for Cleanfeed to expand support for multiple, mainstream web browsers. As with Firefox, Chrome and Edge, Cleanfeed guests will now be able to join their session with high definition, live audio, using Safari on macOS. 

The development will see that content creators have a smooth experience when inviting a guest to a Cleanfeed session such as a podcaster’s guest, a journalist’s interviewee, or a broadcaster’s collaborator. With just one click, the guest can now join with live, high-definition audio, on their default browser, or browser of their choice. 

Marc Bakos, Cleanfeed Co-founder, comments: “Safari is a major leap forward for us, the final hurdle in fact. It’s the default browser on macOS and it means guests don’t have to go out of their way to download a different browser in order to join a Cleanfeed session any longer. From today we’re enabling studios to connect with their guests that use Safari, getting straight to the content, spending less time setting up. Bringing Cleanfeed for guests, to all mainstream browsers, completes our commitment to becoming a browser agnostic web application.”

A truly open web relies on different browser environments, not just browsers based on Chromium. Safari, which represents around 18.5% of the world’s share of browsers, has always remained incredibly important to Cleanfeed for this very reason. Not only has it ensured that Cleanfeed is now available on the default browser on both Windows and macOS, but it means we can be reassured by the positive direction that all three major browser engines are heading, especially with the technology involved with bringing applications like Cleanfeed alive.

Safari, which is powered by the Webkit web browser engine, has recently introduced the necessary web audio components for Cleanfeed to run. This means from today, guests will have the same experience joining a Cleanfeed session from Safari, as others do from other supported browsers.

 Mark Hills, Cleanfeed Co-founder concludes: “For a long time it’s been possible to use the open source “Chromium” browser with Cleanfeed and, in fact, we use that for a lot of our development. This may satisfy the open-source enthusiasts, but only goes some way towards the solution. A standard is only truly a standard when there are multiple, independent implementations of it. We depend highly on web audio standards, both of which are strengthened by the existence of Safari, and significant contributions of the Safari developers to the overall community that we’re a part of.”

Cleanfeed Introduces Product Features Inspired by TV & Film Sound Engineers. #Cleanfeed

Cleanfeed, a collaboration tool for high definition, live audio and recording, in your browser – is today proud to announce their latest product feature; Aux outputs, designed specifically for the tv, film and broadcast industries.

When it comes to recording, Cleanfeed’s built-in recorder is a league above the rest. Whether it is a single recording or a more granular Multitrack recording, the Cleanfeed community has enjoyed recording millions of hours of high-quality content with their remote guests. Linear recording, recording continuously without pausing, is great for the majority of people who edit their audio after the recording process is complete.

However, what happens when you want to break the trend and record multiple takes or do overdubs? Perhaps you want to mix your audio live in a separate environment? That brings you into a non-linear workflow, and that is where Aux Outputs will help.

Aux Outputs opens up new non-linear workflow possibilities for recording, live performances and more. It allows you to assign a unique audio output device for each remote guest connected to your studio. This ground-breaking addition to Cleanfeed allows creatives all around the world to run more customisable workflows. Now you can route your remote audio wherever you want to.

Marc Bakos, Founding Partner, Cleanfeed, comments: “We’re excited about the new possibilities Aux Outputs opens up to creatives working with remote audio, especially broadcast producers. We have already seen production houses taking advantage of this new tooling, and the results have completely blown us away!”

TV and Film sound engineers rely on high-quality audio for every production. A process of post-production techniques for sound design, Foley and ADR is required to complete each and every project. During the lockdown, Cleanfeed Aux Outputs has helped countless award-winning sound engineers to connect to remote actors to complete their productions.

With more flexible routing, broadcasters and producers have already taken advantage by speeding up their creative workflows. Recording show content, voice-overs* and celebrity guests has become a more fluid experience with Aux Outputs. Cécile Janet, Sound Editor, Fitzrovia Post, comments: “Cleanfeed has become our favourite browser-based audio streaming platform at Fitzrovia Post. Their new ‘Aux outputs’ feature has been a game changer for remote crowd ADR. The ability to route multiple actor feeds into individual record tracks in ProTools has removed the need for unpacking and editing takes at the end of the session, streamlining the whole process.” Cleanfeed is now the perfect companion for broadcasters working with remote audio.
