From Messy Audio to Clean Sound: How I Use Cleanvoice to Save Hours Every Week
A simple tool that makes podcast editing faster, easier, and actually enjoyable.
Editing a podcast is where creativity often goes to die. I have spent hours fixing tiny mistakes no one notices (old good days…). If you have ever sat with headphones on, trimming silences and muting mouth sounds at midnight, you’ll understand.
Yes, this post is part of a collaboration. But as with anything I share here, I reached out to Cleanvoice because I genuinely liked it. If I didn’t rate it, you would not be reading about it.
How I used to edit before
Back in the early days of Produced By, or honestly not even that long ago, I would spend entire days just cleaning audio. Imagine getting everything edited, feeling good about it, sending it to the guest and then needing to redo half of it because something still felt off.
Even worse was when I first started podcasting, before tools like this existed. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. Manually trimming every "um", every awkward silence, every background noise, all because I thought sounding professional meant obsessing over every single detail.
It wasn’t sustainable. And while I did not hate it, it drained all the fun from the process. If you are a podcaster or a creator producing audio regularly, I am sure you can relate.
Why Cleanvoice feels different
Cleanvoice does not try to be everything. It just fixes what matters. It cleans filler words, trims silences, removes those little lip sounds and background clicks, and lets you keep your natural tone. Nothing robotic. No weird pacing. Just sharper, cleaner audio that still sounds like you. After a few uses, it became a regular part of my process and I do not say that lightly.
My Tip: Do not aim for perfect. Aim for natural. Cleanvoice helps you sound like your best self, without sounding like a machine.
Why Cleanvoice fits my podcast workflow
Every week, I host Produced By, where I speak with LinkedIn creators, entrepreneurs and storytellers. The episodes are unscripted, so the audio has to sound clear and easy to follow.
With Cleanvoice, I:
Upload the WAV or MP3
Select what settings to go with
Preview the changes with full control
Export to Riverside or any editor I need
What used to take hours now takes minutes. That’s more time for creating, connecting and producing better conversations. Or obsessing over other things.
Features that actually matter
There are loads of “AI podcast editing tools” out there. Most of them overpromise. Here’s what I actually use in Cleanvoice:
Get filler word removal across multiple languages
Mouth sound and background noise cleaning
Timeline preview so I always stay in control
Smart silence trimming that feels natural
Easy export into Riverside or others
No bloated extras I’ll never use

Why I recommend it to other creators
If you are a podcaster, YouTuber, coach or someone creating longform audio, this is one of the few tools I would suggest right away. You do not need a full editing suite. You need something that clears the mess so you can focus on your voice.
Cleanvoice is simple, smart and quick. No fluff. No stress. Just clean, usable audio. It is like switching from a flip phone to a smartphone, once you try it, you will not want to go back.
Where Cleanvoice fits in a modern creator stack
Cleanvoice is not just for podcasters. It fits in any workflow where natural audio matters:
Coaches hosting sessions
Course creators recording audio
YouTubers and any content creators
Teams producing webinars or internal content
Anyone who cares about quality and smooth audio
It gives you speed, control and headspace. And for anyone trying to publish consistently, that’s a win. So, are you in?
