Cleanfeed

Live radio and broadcast

Cleanfeed is the quiet pro choice — 320 kbit/s stereo over a browser link with zero fluff. There's no fancy editor, no AI cleanup, just exceptional audio for live remote sessions. The free tier is genuinely usable. The UI looks like it was built by audio engineers (because it was) and you'll occasionally fight echo cancellation, but for audio purists this is one of the best-kept secrets in the business.

Cleanfeed is the favorite hidden tool of radio producers, voice actors, and anyone who's been burned by Zoom one too many times. It runs entirely in the browser — your guest clicks a link, no downloads, no logins — but audio quality goes up to 320 kbit/s stereo, well past anything you'd get from a consumer video call. Multitrack recording saves each participant as a separate file, and you can wire up to four local devices through a channel mixer and pull the session down as a zip. The Pro tier adds longer recording, higher participant counts, and proper production features. Cinema supports video and full workflows for film and broadcast clients. The free Lite plan is properly useful — plenty of indie shows record entirely on it. The downsides come from the same place as the strengths: this is software built by audio engineers for audio engineers. Interface feels stuck in 2010, onboarding is sparse, and you'll fight echo cancellation issues on certain hardware combos. No video for most users, no built-in editor, no AI anything. Right tool for audio-only podcasts, radio remotes, voiceover work, and anyone for whom 320 kbit/s stereo over the public internet sounds like magic. Wrong tool for video podcasters or creators who want everything in one app.
