You don’t need to be an engineer to make your podcast sound professional.
That’s the entire idea behind Adobe Podcast — an AI-powered tool that turns the once-technical world of sound editing into something anyone can do.
If you can type, you can edit audio. If you can talk, you can record your first episode.
Here’s how Adobe Podcast makes professional sound design accessible to complete beginners.
🎧 Step 1: Open Your Browser — That’s All You Need
Forget downloads, plugins, and setups. Adobe Podcast runs entirely in your browser.
Go to podcast.adobe.com, sign in with your Adobe ID, and click “New Project.”
You’re instantly ready to record or upload audio.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a USB microphone if you can — but even laptop mics sound good once you use Adobe’s Enhance Speech tool.
🎙️ Step 2: Let Mic Check Handle the Technical Stuff
When you open the recording panel, Adobe automatically runs Mic Check, an AI assistant that:
- Tests your mic level
- Detects room echo and background noise
- Gives you a green light when conditions are perfect
No need to guess about volume or mic distance — Adobe’s AI does that thinking for you.
✂️ Step 3: Record and Edit Without Touching a Waveform
The beauty of Adobe Podcast is that it transcribes your voice while recording.
After recording, you’ll see your entire script on screen — and every edit you make to the text applies directly to your audio.
You can:
- Delete filler words and mistakes
- Move paragraphs or reorder topics
- Tighten your script for better pacing
No experience, no confusion — it’s like editing a Google Doc instead of a DAW.
🪄 Step 4: Instantly Clean Up Your Audio with Enhance Speech
Click the Enhance Speech button.
This one feature alone can make your podcast sound like it was recorded in a professional studio.
Behind the scenes, Adobe’s AI models remove noise, reverb, and inconsistencies, leaving your voice clean and balanced — no compressor or EQ required.
🎧 It’s like having a full-time sound engineer working invisibly behind the scenes.
🎵 Step 5: Add a Touch of Personality
Once your voice is crisp and clear, you can import background music, jingles, or transition sounds directly into the editor.
Adobe Podcast balances everything automatically so nothing overpowers your speech.
✨ You don’t have to understand decibels or audio mixing — Adobe does it for you.
đź’ľ Step 6: Export and Share with One Click
When your episode sounds the way you want:
- Click Export
- Choose MP3 or WAV
- Download and upload to your preferred platform
You can also export your enhanced project to Adobe Audition for advanced effects — if you ever want to level up your skills.
