Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Riverside Magic Audio is an AI-powered audio enhancement feature within Riverside’s recording and editing platform. It processes uploaded audio and video to reduce background noise, echo, and reverb, while improving voice clarity, equalizing sound, adjusting distortion, and balancing loudness. The feature suits podcasters, interviewers, social-media creators, meeting teams, and others working with voice recordings or video content. It runs through Riverside Studio on web, macOS, and iOS.
The plan structure starts with Free, which includes 2 hours of multitrack recordings, the full suite of editing tools, up to 720p video, and Magic Clips. According to the vendor’s pricing page, Pro costs $24 per month with annual billing and adds up to 4K video, 48 kHz audio, audio enhancement, unlimited transcriptions, Magic Clips, and show notes. Grow costs $34 per month with annual billing and adds Full HD 1080p live streaming, multistreaming, and two studios. Webinar costs $79 per month with annual billing and adds webinars with up to 100 registrants, unlimited sessions, and webinar analytics. Business adds unlimited studios, API access, SSO, and a dedicated customer success manager.
Its strongest fit is batch cleanup across multiple publishing destinations. Riverside Magic Audio accepts audio and video files, including MP3, WAV, OGG, MP4, MPEG, and WEBM, and integrates with YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Instagram, LinkedIn, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Marketo. The combination of voice enhancement, loudness balancing, and platform coverage makes it suitable for creators and teams handling varied recording formats. Users who need a focused enhancement layer should pick it; those seeking deeper editing capabilities than the verified feature set provides should consider another option.
