When Adobe Podcast is the better choice
If you edit long episodes on a computer and do not mind uploading, Enhance Speech is excellent and can make a voice sound close to a studio recording. It also tends to change the character of a voice more than a pure noise remover does.
When Noise Reducer is the better choice
- You recorded on your iPhone and want to fix it there.
- The recording is private, or you have no connection.
- It is a video and you want to keep the picture quality.
- You want the voice to keep its own character, just without the noise.
