Cleanfeed Voice-Over Sessions

What is Cleanfeed?

Cleanfeed is an IP codec that allows live remote voice-over recording sessions at studio quality.  One of the newer entrants to the market, it has become a firm favourite with radio people because of its simplicity and ease of use. Many voice over artists, especially in the UK, use Cleanfeed.

Cleanfeed is also widely used in radio too. Global Radio, the largest group in the UK and home to brands such as Capital, Heart, Smooth, LBC and more took the decision to make it their default choice for connection with remote voice over artists.

As I already haven an account, I can invite you to a session easily, with just your email address.  You click the link and join the session.

For the geeks…

This service derives its name from the industry term – ‘clean feed’.  (Also sometimes called ‘mix minus’.  When two studios connect they send an audio feed to each other so that they can hear and collaborate. 

Now, imagine that you’re listening to the incoming audio from another studio, through your desk. You’re also sending everything from that desk back, so that they can hear you. You’re creating a feedback loop, because you’re sending their audio back to them. This is when you’ll hear a massive squealing noise or echo.

Instead it’s normal to send back a ‘mix’ of everything… minus the incoming feed that you’re listening to from the other party.  This eliminates the risk of feedback.  You are sending back a ‘clean feed’.  Geddit?

Can I do a live voice-over session with you via Cleanfeed?

Yes. Absolutely.   It couldn’t be simpler. I’m happy to do a line test, so you’re comfortable.
