Your videos deserve to sound as good as they look. Boostered fixes the most common audio problem content creators face: videos that sound too quiet, too harsh, or just off — especially when someone watches with headphones or in a noisy feed. One tap normalizes your video audio to -14 LUFS, the standard used by TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram Reels. No settings to figure out. No export mess. Just a louder, cleaner video ready to post. Simple by default. Powerful when you need it. The built-in loudness analyzer color-codes your clips instantly — red means too quiet, green means you're in the zone. Process a single video or a whole batch at once. For creators who want more control, the Channel Strip unlocks a full audio toolkit: - 3-band EQ to shape your tone (low shelf, mid parametric, high shelf) - Compressor with one-tap presets: Vocal, Punch, Gentle, and Smash - Noise gate to cut background hiss and room noise - Live preview with bypass so you can A/B before you commit - Waveform visualization so you can see exactly what you're working with Whether you're filming talking-head videos, vlogs, or short-form content, Boostered makes your audio sound intentional — without needing a home studio or an audio degree. Boostered Pro includes the Channel Strip and batch processing. Try it free for 7 days, then $4.99/month or $29.99/year.
