What is Cleanfeed
Cleanfeed is a browser-based audio collaboration and remote recording service used to capture and monitor high-quality audio over the internet. It is commonly used by podcasters, radio producers, voice talent, and audio engineers for remote interviews, live-to-air contributions, and distributed recording sessions. The product focuses on low-latency audio, separate participant audio streams, and workflow features such as mix-minus and routing that support professional production use cases. It runs in modern web browsers without requiring dedicated desktop software for most participants.
Browser-based remote audio sessions
Cleanfeed runs in a web browser, which reduces setup effort for guests compared with tools that require client installation. Session links make it straightforward to invite external contributors. This approach can be useful for ad-hoc interviews and recurring shows with non-technical participants. It also supports cross-platform participation (Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile browsers where supported).
Production-oriented audio controls
Cleanfeed includes features oriented to broadcast and podcast workflows, such as mix-minus style routing and per-participant level control. It supports recording and managing separate audio streams, which helps with post-production editing and noise management. These capabilities align more closely with studio-style remote recording than general-purpose conferencing. For teams that need clean stems, it can reduce reliance on each guest recording locally.
Low-latency monitoring focus
The service is designed for real-time conversation and monitoring, aiming to keep latency low enough for natural dialogue. This can be important for live direction, talkback, and producer monitoring during a session. Compared with many general collaboration tools, the feature set prioritizes audio quality and control over chat-centric collaboration. It is therefore better suited to audio-first sessions than to broad unified communications needs.
Limited general conferencing features
Cleanfeed is primarily audio-focused and does not provide the breadth of unified communications features found in enterprise conferencing suites. Organizations needing integrated team chat, calendaring, telephony, or large-meeting administration may find gaps. Video, screen sharing, and meeting governance features are not the product’s core focus. Teams may need additional tools for end-to-end collaboration workflows.
Depends on browser and network
Because it operates over the public internet and in a browser, audio performance depends on participant networks, device audio settings, and browser compatibility. Corporate firewalls, restrictive networks, or unstable Wi-Fi can affect connectivity and quality. Troubleshooting can be harder when guests use varied devices and headsets. Some environments may require IT support or alternative connection methods.
Not a full studio DAW
Cleanfeed supports remote capture and routing, but it is not a digital audio workstation for multitrack editing, mixing, and mastering. Production teams still typically need external tools for detailed editing, processing, and asset management. If a workflow requires integrated project management, advanced audio plugins, or complex post-production pipelines, additional software is required. This can increase overall toolchain complexity.
