WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
Independent podcasters and interview show hostsRecord remote guests as separate multitrack WAV files with automatic sync from Zoom or Riverside sessions, enabling clean isolated tracks for each participant without in-person recording setup.
Podcast producers and content creatorsConvert podcast audio segments into captioned short-form video clips for Instagram and TikTok using Audiogram Creator, with custom visual themes applied without video editing software.
Video producers and interview editorsRemove background noise from interview recordings using Enhance Speech and strip background music from fully mixed audio using Music Remover, salvaging footage that would otherwise be unusable.
Podcasters and audio creatorsRiverside enables podcasters to record studio-quality audio and video content without needing a physical studio. The platform captures up to 4K video and uncompressed audio in separate tracks, with local recording technology that ensures quality is unaffected by internet connection issues. Podcasters can record solo or with remote guests, then use the text-based editor and AI tools to edit, repurpose content into clips, and publish directly to platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. This end-to-end workflow allows creators to produce professional podcasts from concept to distribution within a single platform.
