What's Covered
- 1. Audio Info – View Metadata
- 2. Audio Waveform – Visualize Your Audio
- 3. Audio Trimmer – Cut Audio Clips
- 4. Volume Booster – Boost or Reduce Volume
- 5. Audio Reverser – Play Audio Backwards
1. Audio Info – View Metadata
The Audio Info tool displays essential metadata about any audio file: duration, sample rate, number of channels, file size, and more. This is useful for verifying audio specs before publishing or troubleshooting playback issues.
Supported formats: MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A, and more.
When to Use Audio Info
- Checking if a podcast episode meets platform duration requirements
- Verifying sample rate (44.1kHz, 48kHz, etc.) before video editing
- Confirming stereo vs mono channels for distribution
- Quick file size check before uploading to streaming services
2. Audio Waveform – Visualize Your Audio
The waveform visualizer renders a graphical representation of your audio's amplitude over time. This helps you identify quiet sections, loud peaks, and overall dynamics at a glance.
Waveform Use Cases
- Podcast editing: Spot silence gaps between segments
- Music production: Identify clipping or distortion peaks
- Voice-over work: Find breath sounds or mouth clicks
- Audio restoration: Locate sections that need noise reduction
3. Audio Trimmer – Cut Audio Clips
Need just a portion of an audio file? The Audio Trimmer lets you specify start and end times, then downloads the trimmed clip as a WAV file. Perfect for creating ringtones, sound effects, or podcast intros.
Trimming Tips
- Play the audio first to note exact timestamps
- Add 0.1-0.2s padding to avoid cutting mid-word
- Use for extracting choruses, intros, or sound bites
- Output is always WAV for maximum compatibility
4. Volume Booster – Boost or Reduce Volume
Sometimes recordings are too quiet. The Volume Booster amplifies audio by up to 5× (or reduces it to 0.1×). Useful for normalizing quiet recordings or creating fade effects.
Volume Adjustment Guide
- 1.5× - 2×: Moderate boost for quiet voice recordings
- 2× - 3×: Strong boost for field recordings or distant mics
- 0.5× - 0.8×: Reduce clipping in loud recordings
- Warning: Boosting too much introduces distortion
5. Audio Reverser – Play Audio Backwards
The Audio Reverser flips audio so it plays from end to start. While niche, this is useful for creating transition effects, detecting hidden messages, or just having fun with music.
Fun Uses for Reverse Audio
- Create eerie transition effects for videos
- Analyze "backmasking" claims in songs
- Generate unique sound design elements
- Learn how reverb tails sound backwards
