Already recorded your podcast elsewhere?
Good news — you can still use Adobe Podcast to clean it up, edit mistakes, and make it sound like it came from a professional studio.
Whether your audio came from a field recorder, Zoom call, or another app, Adobe Podcast can import and transform it in minutes using its AI-powered enhancement tools.
🎧 Step 1: Upload or Drag Your File Into Adobe Podcast
Start at podcast.adobe.com and sign in.
Click “New Project” → “Upload” and select your file. Supported formats include:
- .wav
- .mp3
- .m4a
Once uploaded, your project automatically generates a transcript. This is the foundation for text-based editing.
đź’ˇ Tip: The cleaner your raw audio, the faster the transcript and the more accurate the AI cleanup.
🪄 Step 2: Let Adobe Podcast Transcribe Your File
Adobe Podcast uses advanced speech recognition to transcribe your audio automatically. You’ll see the full transcript appear on screen, synchronized perfectly with your waveform.
This enables one of Adobe Podcast’s most revolutionary features: text-based editing.
Instead of splicing clips or trimming waveforms manually, simply edit your text — delete words, move sentences, or cut whole sections — and the audio updates instantly.
✂️ Step 3: Clean Up the Audio with Enhance Speech
Click the “Enhance Speech” button to apply Adobe’s AI noise-reduction filter.
This removes:
- Background hum or hiss
- Room echo
- Inconsistent mic tones
- Volume jumps between speakers
The result is clear, balanced, studio-grade sound — even from a low-quality recording.
🧠Powered by Adobe Sensei AI, this feature analyzes speech frequencies and reconstructs your voice with natural clarity, not just noise gating.
🎚️ Step 4: Adjust Timing, Pacing, and Sections
Once the audio is enhanced, use transcript markers to:
- Reorder sentences or paragraphs
- Add pauses for better pacing
- Tighten dialogue or narration
Everything happens in real time. You can even split your session into segments or chapters for longer podcast episodes.
🔊 Step 5: Add Music, Intros, and Outros
Go to the “Add Audio” panel to include:
- Intro/outro music
- Sound effects
- Transition cues
Adobe Podcast balances all layers automatically, preventing clipping and keeping speech clear.
🎵 You can also import Creative Cloud library sounds if you use Adobe Stock Audio or Audition sound packs.
đź’ľ Step 6: Export Your Finished Episode
When your edits are complete:
- Click Export → Download Audio
- Choose your preferred format (MP3 or WAV)
- Save locally or publish directly to your podcast platform
Adobe Podcast also saves a cloud version, so you can re-edit or enhance later without re-uploading.
⚙️ Bonus: Move Your Project to Adobe Audition for Mixing
Need advanced multitrack editing or effects?
Click “Open in Audition” to continue editing with Adobe’s full audio suite — keeping your enhanced, cleaned-up audio intact.
This seamless workflow makes Adobe Podcast ideal for quick editing, while Audition remains your mastering powerhouse.
