What is Resound?
Resound is an AI-powered podcast editing tool designed to help creators automate the tedious post-production process. Instead of manually editing audio for hours, users upload their audio files and Resound's AI automatically detects filler sounds (umms and ahhs), long silences, and background noise. The tool processes the audio in seconds, presenting results in a gamified interface where users can review and accept or reject suggested edits before exporting their final podcast.
The core feature is Filler Sound Detection V1, built on an in-house machine-learning model developed after 4 years of research and training. This model achieves nearly a 90% acceptance rate among test users, meaning it's incredibly accurate at identifying filler sounds while preserving authentic moments. Additional features include silence detection for finding awkward pauses, manual trim tools for custom edits with click-and-drag functionality, and Enhance with 4 AI Voice Filters that mix and master audio in one click by removing background noise, equalizing, smoothing dynamics, and increasing loudness to streaming standards.
Resound is built for podcasters of all levels - from beginners testing out podcasting to professional creators producing high volumes of content. It's particularly valuable for interview shows requiring multitrack editing, podcast networks, and freelancers who need API access for integration. The platform has joined 11,000+ users who save hours editing their podcasts with AI. Founded by professional audio engineers from Resonate Recordings who manually edited thousands of podcasts, Resound brings editor-trusted technology to creators who want to focus on content rather than post-production.

Frequently asked questions about Resound
Can I cancel or change my plan anytime?
Yes, you can cancel or change your subscription plan at any time. Resound allows users to upgrade anytime to unlock more processing time or switch between plans based on their needs.
What happens if I go over my usage limit and need more hours?
If you exceed your monthly processing time limit, you can upgrade to a higher plan to unlock more processing hours. The platform is designed so you can create as many projects as you like while staying within your time limit, and upgrading is available whenever needed.
How does Resound calculate audio processing time?
Resound calculates processing time based on the duration of audio you process. Each minute of audio you upload and process counts toward your monthly limit. The Free tier gives 20 minutes, Creator gives 4 hours, Professional gives 10 hours, and Studio gives 30 hours of processed audio per month.
What happens to unused processing time at the end of the month?
Unused processing time does not roll over to the next month. Each subscription plan resets your processing time allowance at the start of each billing cycle, so unused hours from the current month are not added to the next month's limit.
Can I purchase individual hours of processing time?
Resound does not offer individual hour purchases as a standalone option. Instead, users can upgrade to a higher subscription plan that includes more processing time when they need additional hours beyond their current plan's limit.
What payment methods does Resound accept?
Resound accepts standard payment methods for subscription plans. While specific payment processors aren't detailed on the website, the platform operates as a subscription-based service with monthly billing for all plans from Free to Enterprise.
Does Resound cut out content automatically or do I have control?
Resound does not automatically cut content. The AI detects filler sounds, silences, and noise, then presents these suggestions in a gamified review interface where you have full control to accept or reject each edit before exporting your final podcast.
What file formats and file sizes does Resound accept?
Resound accepts audio files for upload and processing. For export, you can output to MP3 (best for publishing), WAV (best quality), AAF (for editing in Logic Pro or Pro Tools), and MP4 (for video). The platform processes audio files to automatically detect umms and ahhs.
What does tracks per project mean?
Tracks per project refers to how many audio files you can upload and edit simultaneously within a single project. Free allows 1 track, Creator allows 2 tracks, and Professional and Studio allow 4 tracks. This is essential for interview shows where you need multiple speakers' audio in sync.
Does Resound work with videos?
Resound is primarily an audio editing tool for podcasts, but it supports MP4 export which is useful for video podcasts. The tool processes audio files and detects filler sounds and silences in audio, then you can export as MP4 for video distribution. However, the core editing functionality focuses on audio rather than video editing.
