Hindenburg Journalist

Edit
Hindenburg has all the editing tools you need - no need to switch between tools or modes.
Cut, copy, paste, replace, insert and other tools give you complete control of your story.
Even difficult edits are made pleasing. Default crossfades remove any clicks in the edit.
Sound
Adjusting the sound is easy. In addition to built-in equalisation and compression there is also a Voice Profiler. This tool can automatically create an EQ to give you that out-of-the-speakers sound. In Journalist, you can use the Voice Profiler with our meticulously crafted Generic Profile (creating your own profiles requires Journalist PRO).
Publish
Once you have finished a story, you need to share it. Hindenburg comes with a built-in Publishing tool that lets you upload your podcast or share it on Libsyn or Soundcloud. Once you have set these up, publishing is as simple as a single click.
Hindenburg Journalist can set loudness normalisation at -16 LUFS
Apple & Windows platforms work equally well for Hindenburg.
You can even exchange sessions between the two.
★★★★★
“It does the things that a journalist or podcaster needs better than other programs and almost seems magic at times. Many things that must be learned through trial and error in other programs are performed automatically in Hindenburg.”
Hindenburg Journalist is a multitrack audio editor designed for podcasters, audio producers and radio journalists.
It might look like any another audio editor - but it’s not.
The design and features are tailored spoken-word productions.
Hindenburg Journalist’s focus is on storytelling.

Record
Hindenburg records uncompressed sound to give you the best audio quality.
Plug in your studio microphone and begin recording. Mistakes in your Voice Track can be fixed on the fly. Sometimes you need to move outside the studio; some stories are best told where they take place - at the playground, from an armchair or by the seaside.
Plug in a USB microphone and begin recording with Hindenburg.
During the interview you can set markers and add notes.
Import
Don’t worry about sample rates, bit rates or stereo and mono files. Drag any audio file into Hindenburg and start working. Add as many tracks as you like.
Levels are even automatically set as audio settles on the track.
Hindenburg uses the latest loudness standards for setting levels. This makes it easy for you to set correct levels and saves you a lot of time - time that can be spent on telling the story.
Organise
Hindenburg has a clipboard that is simply unique. This is where you can save even more time. Using the clipboard to organise your material gives you a bird's-eye view of your material: whom you talked to, what they said.
Take the best sound bites from the interview and place them in a group. Add all the music and ambient sound you think you might need in separate groups.
You can even place multitrack clips in the clipboard.
Now you can focus on the story itself.
Levels
How do you set correct levels?
Levels are set automatically in Hindenburg. Anytime you record or import audio, the correct level will be set. This is done using the latest metering development: loudness.
Automated levels will save you hours in production and deliver consistent results.
You can always adjust the levels to your liking - and just for that, Hindenburg also comes with built-in loudness meters.
