Bad Mic Settings Ruined a 1-Hour Podcast. AI Saved It.


I fucked up my podcast yesterday.

I accidentally recorded an entire 1-hour podcast with my mic gain turned WAY up.

Here’s a clip of the original audio (It’s awful): Soundcloud Clip

I desperately searched Google and Reddit for a solution, and I discovered a new online tool: Adobe Podcast AI (And it’s free to edit up to 3 hours of audio per day!)

I crossed my fingers and uploaded my terrible audio recording. IT WORKED LIKE MAGIC.

The final result isn’t perfect, but it’s very tolerable (unlike the original). Here’s what the final podcast sounds like after Adobe AI sound enhancement: Axiom Alpha Podcast Episode 4

After graduating, Ricky attended grad school at Duke University in the mathematics PhD program where he worked on quantum algorithms & non-Euclidean geometry models for flexible proteins. He also worked in cybersecurity at Los Alamos during this time before eventually dropping out of grad school to join a startup working on formal semantic modeling for legal documents.
