Fix guide

Fix a phone video you can barely hear

A concert clip of your kid, a relative telling a story at dinner, a street interview: filmed from a few meters away, and now the volume slider is at maximum while everyone leans into the speaker. Just amplifying it makes the hiss as loud as the voice. Doing it properly is a chain, and the chain is what we automate.

What's actually wrong with the recording

The voice is 20+ dB too quiet

Phone mics auto-expose for the loudest thing nearby - which was not the person talking.

The fix: Measured gain staging raises the recording to streaming loudness (-14 LUFS) with true-peak safety, instead of a blind volume boost that distorts the peaks.

Amplified hiss

Every recording has a noise floor; lifting a very quiet file lifts the noise by exactly as much.

The fix: AI noise reduction runs alongside the gain, so the voice comes up and the hiss does not follow it.

Thin, distant tone

Distance strips low-mid body from voices; tiny phone mics make it worse.

The fix: Speech-aware EQ restores warmth and presence so the raised voice sounds near, not just loud.

How it works here

  1. 1

    Upload the video straight from your phone or computer (free accounts up to 100MB - about a minute of typical phone video; more on any paid tier or with your welcome credits active).

  2. 2

    The analyzer measures exactly how quiet and how noisy it is - the same report you can see free at /check.

  3. 3

    Preview the fixed audio free, then download your original video with the corrected sound inside.

The honest part

There is a floor: if the voice sits at or below the noise (roughly 0dB SNR), separation fails and no honest tool claims otherwise. Extremely quiet recordings can also carry quantization grit that cleanup exposes. The free preview exists precisely so you can judge the result before paying - use it.

Not sure how bad it really is? The free quality check measures it in seconds. And the mastered preview costs nothing: you hear your own file fixed before deciding anything.

No card needed — and a free account includes 500 credits (≈8 minutes of finished audio), enough to fix most files on this page entirely free.
