Adobe Podcast vs Resound

Adobe Podcast is a browser-based set of tools for recording, transcribing, editing, and sharing audio. In Studio, users can record participants in their browsers, with each person’s audio saved continuously and kept on a separate track. Studio can also import multitrack audio and video, and lets users edit by deleting words from a transcript. Enhance Speech reduces noise and artifacts, adjusts pitch and volume, and normalizes audio. Studio works only in Google Chrome on desktop; Enhance Speech supports recent Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox on desktop and mobile. The free plan allows audio files up to 30 minutes and 500 MB, with one hour of use per day and two Studio project downloads daily, each up to 30 minutes. Firefly Pro costs $19.99 a month and adds Premium access, video enhancement, bulk uploads, unlimited Studio downloads, and original speaker-separated recordings. A 30-day free trial of Premium features is available.

Resound is an AI audio-editing app built to automate parts of podcast cleanup. It detects filler sounds such as ums and ahs, and finds silences longer than three seconds for users to consider shortening. Editors can review suggested changes and trim audio by dragging. Enhance tools remove background noise, level and normalize sound, and prepare it for export. Resound accepts single-track and multitrack uploads, with WAV, MP3, or AAF exports as merged files or separate tracks. The Free plan provides 20 minutes of processed audio, one track per project, one-day project storage, trimming, filler and silence detection, and MP3 export. Creator costs $15 a month and includes four processing hours, two tracks per project, and 15-day storage. A 14-day trial offers one hour of AI processing and access to all features. Processing is charged per project according to its longest file, and unused hours expire at billing-period end. The API returns AI edit predictions in JSON, but access requires approval.
