Alitu

Alitu is podcast production for people who do not want to learn an audio editor. Drop a recording in and it levels the sound, adds the music you picked once, joins the segments and publishes to the hosts you already use. The editing it offers is text-based rather than waveform-based, which is the part that saves the hours. What it will not do is give you fine control over a mix, and that trade is the whole product.

One plan at $38 a month, or $32 a month if you pay for the year, which the vendor frames as two months free. The 7-day trial is free and the vendor states that you have a full month after the first charge to change your mind. Hosting for up to 1,000 downloads a month is included rather than sold separately, and the page compares the total against buying editing, hosting and music apart.

New podcasters who want the show to sound produced without learning an audio editor, and who would rather pay than spend the evening on it.
