Our Adobe Podcast review examines the cloud-based audio enhancer that is changing the face of sound design for creators. With Adobe Creative Cloud, the software employs decades of audio engineering expertise and cutting-edge machine learning to make you sound like you recorded in a studio in seconds.
What Does It Do
Adobe Podcast is all about AI-driven audio enhancement for spoken word content. Its stamp feature Enhance Speech tidies up murky recordings into clean dialogue by:
Noise reduction from background noises (fans, keyboard input, traffic noise)
Mic defect correction
Vocal frequency balancing for on-air sound quality
The browser editor has multi-track editing, real-time co-authoring, and exports the file in podcast-ready formats. Other DAWs are not what it's focused on, as it's specifically designed for voice optimization rather than music composition.
Product History
Adobe Podcast was built under codename Project Shasta as part of the company's AI research initiatives in 2021:
2022 Beta Release: Initial release with speech enhancement focus
2023 Update: Added multi-track editing and cloud collaboration
2024 Integration: Native Premiere Pro plugin support
Adobe bought several AI audio startups during this period, including Dessa (voice cloning) and Audiocraft (neural noise reduction), which are responsible for the feature set today.
Summary
Adobe Podcast reinvents accessible audio editing with AI that actually delivers. While power users might still need Audition for complex projects, this app offers 90% of podcast editing needs in 10% of the time. For creators who care more about voice quality than musical complexity, it's a champion.
