Audio Cleanup Lab

Audio Cleanup Lab

Your personal audio engineering consultant. Describe your recording issues (background noise, echo, uneven levels), and this skill generates a detailed "cleanup recipe" with specific EQ settings, compression parameters, and plugin recommendations tailored to your DAW.

> Note: This skill generates instructions for you to apply, not processed audio files.

Features

• Diagnostic Analysis: Identifies likely frequency clashes and sonic issues based on your description.
• Tailored Recipes: Provides specific cut/boost frequencies (e.g., "Cut 3dB at 400Hz to remove mud").
• Chain Recommendations: Suggests the optimal order of operations (De-noise -> EQ -> Compress).
• DAW Agnostic: Works with Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Audition, Audacity, or any standard editor.
• Mastering Targets: Gives loudness specs (LUFS) for your specific deliverable (Podcast, TV, Web).
