How to clean up a voice memo before sharing it

Most voice memos have dead air at each end and come out quiet. Trim the ends, raise the volume to the highest level without distortion, and add short fades so it starts and stops smoothly.

Start step 1: Trim audio

Each step passes your file to the next, so you only add it once. Nothing is uploaded.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Trim the ends

    Use the waveform to cut the fumbling at the start and the silence at the end.

    Open Trim audio
  2. 2

    Make it louder

    Tick “Make it as loud as it can go without distortion”. FileFleet finds the loudest moment and raises everything evenly.

    Open Change audio volume
  3. 3

    Add soft fades

    A half-second fade in and a one-second fade out stop it starting or ending with a click. Save as MP3 so it plays anywhere.

Questions

Can it remove background noise?

Not yet. Trimming and evening out the volume makes the biggest difference for most memos.
