Riverside Magic Audio

Riverside Magic Audio is an AI-powered audio enhancer and equalizer that improves recordings by reducing background noise, echo and reverb. It also adjusts frequency bands, voice clarity, loudness and volume levels. Riverside describes it for podcasts, social media clips, company meetings, interviews, voice recordings and tutorials. Audio and video uploads can use formats including MP3, WAV, OGG, MP4, MPEG and WEBM. The feature is included with Riverside Pro, which costs $24 a month when billed annually at 288 USD annually. Riverside also lists a free plan and a 14-day trial. Free includes a one-off two hours of multi-track recordings, video up to 720p, a Riverside watermark and 44.1 kHz audio. The product page says Riverside does not use user data to train the model, and the pricing FAQ says Magic Audio does not require AI credits. It is listed for Android, iOS, macOS and web. Separate-track download hours are capped by plan, though recording is unlimited on Pro, Grow and Webinar.

Magic Audio combines noise and reverb reduction with controls for voice and loudness, and supports several common upload formats. The free plan has defined recording and video limits, while Pro is priced with annual billing.

Magic Audio may suit people producing podcasts, interviews, meetings, tutorials or other voice recordings who want to reduce noise and reverb. Its listed use cases also include social media clips.

Riverside Magic Audio is a batch-processing enhancer for cleaning up recorded speech and shaping its sound. It is best suited to podcasters and teams who already record or collaborate through Riverside. Choose it for its mix of noise cleanup and voice-level controls; look elsewhere if you need uncapped separate-track downloads on a lower-cost plan.

Overview

Magic Audio targets background noise, echo and reverb, with additional adjustments for frequency bands, voice clarity, loudness and volume. That range makes it more useful than a noise filter alone when spoken-word material needs both cleanup and level correction. It is designed for files rather than real-time processing, so it is not the right fit for someone seeking live noise suppression.

Audio and video uploads are supported in MP3, WAV, OGG, MP4, MPEG and WEBM. Riverside says it does not use customer data to train the model, and Magic Audio does not require AI credits. Those terms help clarify the workflow, but the plan’s separate-track download allowance remains important for anyone producing or exporting at volume.

Key features

• Room and noise reduction: Background-noise removal, echo and reverb reduction, and voice isolation address common obstacles to intelligible recordings. The combination suits interviews and meetings as well as podcasts, though batch processing limits it to recorded material.
• Voice and loudness controls: Frequency-band, clarity, loudness and volume adjustments give users more ways to refine a recording than simple denoising. They are aimed at improving speech recordings, not replacing a full production workflow.
• Multiple uses and formats: Riverside cites podcasts, social clips, company meetings, interviews, voice recordings and tutorials. Support for common audio and video formats makes it practical for mixed recording workflows without narrowing it to audio-only uploads.
• Riverside integrations: HubSpot integration supports webinar leads, while Salesforce and Marketo integrations are available on Business. These connections matter most to organizations using Riverside webinars and those CRM systems.

Pricing

The free plan costs $0/month and includes two hours of multi-track recordings as a one-off, up to 720p video, a Riverside watermark and 44.1 kHz audio. It is a way to try the workflow, but the one-time recording allowance and watermark make it a poor fit for ongoing production. Separate-track downloads are capped by plan; recording itself is unlimited on Pro, Grow and Webinar.

Pro costs $24/month on annual billing ($288 annually) and includes one studio, 15 hours of separate-track downloads and Magic Audio. It is the lowest paid entry point for regular Riverside use, but the download-hour ceiling matters if you export separate tracks frequently.

Grow costs $34/month on annual billing ($408 annually), with two studios and 20 hours of separate-track downloads, plus everything in Pro and live streaming. It suits users who need another studio or live streaming, though the allowance still caps separate-track exports.

Webinar is shown at $79/month and includes three studios, 25 hours of separate-track downloads and up to 100 webinar registrants. The displayed annual billing figure is $408, which does not match the monthly rate shown; buyers should confirm the billing total before choosing it. Its higher download allowance and webinar capacity suit more structured events, but do not remove the cap.

Business has custom pricing and includes unlimited studios, unlimited separate-track downloads, up to 10,000 webinar registrants, SOC2 and ISO27001 compliance, 24/7 live priority chat support and a dedicated customer success manager. It is the choice for organizations that need scale and higher-touch support, not an economical default for an individual creator. The paid plans include a 14-day trial.

Platforms

Riverside supports Android, iOS, macOS and the web, giving teams a range of device options. The batch workflow remains oriented around enhancing uploaded recordings rather than live processing.

Who it's for

Magic Audio is a sensible choice for podcasters, interviewers, educators and teams who need to improve recorded speech without spending time on detailed audio adjustments. Riverside’s meeting, webinar and CRM integrations also make it relevant to businesses already using its recording workflow. It is less suitable for live cleanup, users who need unrestricted separate-track exports on a modest plan, or anyone looking only for a single-purpose denoiser.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Noise, echo and reverb reduction sit alongside voice and loudness controls, so the tool addresses several common speech-recording issues in one batch workflow.
• Pro: It accepts audio and video in six common formats, and Riverside says customer data is not used to train the model.
• Pro: Magic Audio is included with Pro and does not require AI credits, keeping the feature within the plan rather than tying it to a separate credit balance.
• Con: Separate-track downloads have plan-based hour caps; even Pro, Grow and Webinar retain limits despite unlimited recording.
• Con: The free plan’s two recording hours are a one-off, and its watermark and 720p video cap make it limited for ongoing publishing.
• Con: Processing is batch-based, so it does not serve users looking for real-time audio cleanup.

Verdict

Riverside Magic Audio is a good fit for creators and teams cleaning up recorded speech, especially those already using Riverside: it combines room-noise reduction with controls for voice clarity and loudness, without consuming AI credits. Its main drawback is the separate-track download ceiling on paid plans, while the free plan is only a one-off recording allowance. Choose it for Riverside-centered batch enhancement; look elsewhere if you need real-time cleanup or frequent exports beyond the plan caps.
