#2This is pretty cool. It seems really aimed at one use case which most audio editors don't do. The interface looks slick.
I can't easily test it now, but since it's not listed, I suspect limiter / compressor / noise suppression is not implemented? Those 3 would likely be the filters people expect the most for voice recording. (maybe also deesser)
Also I believe Audacity is planning to do non-linear editing soon, so it may take over a lot of that use case.

#3I can't test this because I don't have the latest or greatest Mac, but
what separates this from something like Reaper? From what I can tell this doesn't look anywhere near ready for production use. Reaper can do all of this on all platforms right now, even a RaspPi, for a $60 one time purchase. Teapodo has a pretty high bar to clear.
I didn't see mention of VST support, does it include any VST's or VST support? I noticed in the screenshot that there is a "background music" track; does it facilitate sidechain compression? I don't see any channel strip functionality for EQ, compression, etc... Noise reduction?
Does it have the facilities to meet desired RMS/LUFS targets?
I also note from the notes that you're limited to 44.1, which would potentially make integrating with a video podcast problematic.

Learning reaper takes time and is not easy. (and I have a reaper license and love it) If this provides a good tool that's easy to use and provides some podcast-specific features that audacity doesn't, I think there's market for it.

Reaper is awesome. But perhaps also not easy to get started with. A comparison to audacity seems more on point.
Re: Show HN: We made a fast audio editor for podcasting
#6One feature that audio editing software really needs, if you're working with voice over or podcast audio, is a decent range of basic compression filters to apply. Whether it's just one person's voice or multiple people's, you need to shift the dynamic range of all the inputs into a sensible range, and with a sensible average loudness - just your basic management of levels. This is the first thing I look for, does teapodo have this?
Adobe Audition (not free) and Davinci Resolve's Fairlight (free, but obviously packaged with the rest of Resolve) have a bunch of filters, effects and even some helpful presets that make this straightforward.

On a Mac, GarageBand does almost everything you might need.
I used to use Reaper, I was using it on a Mac back around V3, but the problem with Reaper is that it is general purpose and as someone else mentioned, that comes with a much steeper learning curve.
A podcast app is more like a video editor... you pull in audio from various sources, sync it up, add in some jingles and background/intro/outro music, paste in ads you pre recorded, and mixdown to an MP3 with chapters. It's not really the same requirements as something like Reaper.

Yeah I agree this is a lot more like Audacity. But if it has chapter support and clips can be aligned like in something like a regular DAW, it has an advantage.

#9hey OP, great project! I produce a daily mixtape (https://mixtape.swyx.io/) and Audacity's performance and small bugs bother me a lot so i'm in the market for a new editor.
i tried this out and first thing i looked for was a way to adjust sound levels in the clip (eg to fade in music for voice over, or crossfade clips). thats probably the only feature missing for me.
thank you!

To answer your question; no this app does not have any filters (yet?)
