9 tools reviewed and rated for audio & music.

Recording, editing, voice synthesis, and royalty-free music for podcasters and video creators.

## Audio Tools — Recording, Editing & Voice Synthesis Podcasting, voiceovers, and audio content continue to grow. The core stack is simple: a decent USB mic (Blue Yeti, Rode NT-USB), a DAW like Audacity (free) or Logic Pro, and a hosting platform like Buzzsprout or Transistor. AI voice synthesis (ElevenLabs, PlayHT) now produces studio-quality narration from text — useful for voiceovers when you can't record or need multiple languages. For royalty-free music, Epidemic Sound and Uppbeat offer creator-licensed tracks. **Budget stack:** Audacity (free) + Uppbeat (free tier) + OBS Studio (free) covers recording, music, and publishing for $0.
