Aeion Cut for Podcast Production
Podcast producers operate at the intersection of audio + video + distribution. Multi-host remote recording. Multi-track audio with per-host noise gates + EQ + compression. Transcription + transcript-based editing (delete a word from text, video adjusts). Video podcast support (auto-switching cameras to speaker). Auto-clipping 90-min episode into 8-12 shorts for distribution. Export pipelines ready for RSS hosting + multi-platform publishing. Aeion ships podcast production templates, a multi-track audio workspace with VST3 plugin hosting, spectral noise reduction (an iZotope RX-style alternative), transcript-based editing, and per-platform export formats — you publish through your podcast host + each platform's own tools. Replaces Riverside + Descript + Hindenburg + Auphonic stack ($150-400/mo).

FAQ
Riverside is purpose-built for podcast recording; polished UX. Aeion's recording is functional; less polished than Riverside but integrated with editing + distribution. For pure recording, Riverside has the edge; for full workflow, Aeion saves tool-switching.
Descript pioneered transcript editing; polished UX. Aeion's transcript-based editing offers the same model; less polished but integrated with multi-track audio + video + cloud rendering.
Hindenburg is purpose-built audio podcast editor; pro-grade audio. Aeion's audio workspace, VST3 plugin host, and spectral editor are competitive; integrates with video.
Auphonic specializes in audio processing (leveling, noise reduction, encoding). Aeion's audio chain offers similar; per-host VST3 plugin chain matches Auphonic for most podcast use.
Works but lower quality. Aeion supports WebRTC-based recording (single source); local recording preferred for quality.
Aeion doesn't provide music library; bring your own license. Common: Epidemic Sound, Artlist, Musicbed, Soundstripe — all paid services. AI-generated music coming via /modules/ai.
Yes. AI summarizes the episode, extracts key points, suggests chapter markers, identifies guest names + companies, lists mentioned URLs/products.
Aeion doesn't aggregate cross-platform podcast plays/downloads — that data lives with your podcast host/directories. Integrate with Chartable / Podtrac / Spotify for Podcasters for that layer; Aeion's own review-portal + clip analytics cover the production side.
Not currently — Aeion doesn't do dynamic ad insertion or integrate with ad marketplaces like Megaphone/Acast. Chapter markers export cleanly if you're feeding a separate ad-insertion host.
Aeion doesn't host RSS feeds — that's not a built-in feature. Export your episode + metadata to a podcast host (Libsyn, Buzzsprout, Spotify for Podcasters, etc.) for RSS + directory distribution; Aeion's $29/mo flat rate includes 500 GB storage (BYO S3 available) to cover your project's raw + edited media.
