Newsletter January 2023
The November Audials newsletter showed you how to remove ads that have recently started appearing on certain video streaming services. You also got to know mass recording from the radio. Audials offers additional functions to optimize your recordings:
- You've probably experienced that you can't hear the dialogue in a movie because the background noise is too loud. You can fix that with the Speech Boost of Audials One 2023.
- Or do you want to cut a recorded song or export a section of it as a separate file? With the new audio editor in Audials 2023, this is easier than ever.

1. Open the video editor by clicking the video's pencil icon.
2. Go to the Video tab and click Speech Boost.
3. In the next window, select by what percentage the speech volume should be increased: 10, 25 or 50 percent. Audials then creates an additional audio track.

5. When playing the video, switch to the new audio track by clicking the eye icon.

The current newsletter is about recording videos with the batch recorder, regardless of whether films, individual series episodes or entire seasons. With the integrated browser it is even more practical - without the annoying copying of the URLs.
Also, today we are going to take a look at the new handy music file tag editor that can be used to change song tags like title, year, genre.
Our tip: How to record video streaming with the batch recorder
1. Select Video Streaming in the navigation.
2. Go to Batch recording on the top right and then click +Add video to queue.

Our tip: How to edit music tags
In Audials 2023 you edit the tags of a song regardless of which Audials menu you are in. Hover over the song and click the pencil icon.
The audio editor opens. Now switch to the Tags tab. All information about the song can be edited there. If you change the genre, the song will automatically be assigned to the new genre.
To change the next song, stay in the audio editor and click the < and > arrows. With Bulk editing you change the tags of many songs and save all your changes at the end.
Alternatively, edit the tags of all songs of a specific genre or artist at once. To do this, go to My Music and hover over a genre or an artist with your mouse pointer. Click the three-dot menu that appears and select Edit file. The audio editor will open for all songs in the selected category so that you can make your adjustments.
Audials Tips: Video Editor and Correct Tagging of Radio Recordings
Newsletter March 2023
With Audials One 2023, you not only record streaming videos super easily, but thanks to automatic tagging and the video editor your video collection is organized. You get perfectly fitting subtitles and can edit the video. Today we will also show you how to ensure that your radio recordings are always well organized.
Our Tip: The Video Editor
The video editor in the current Audials One offers advanced functions for post-processing and optimizing recorded videos. To open the video editor, go to Video -> My Videos, alternatively it can also be opened from the player on the right in Audials. Hover over the video and click on the pencil icon that appears.
The video editor consists of three tabs: Tags, Video and Subtitles.
The Tags Tab
Here you can see all the information about the film, such as title, director, genre, description of the content, etc. Audials One automatically adds all of these tags to recordings from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. All tags can be changed manually. By changing the genre, you can define on your own how you organize the videos.
The Video Tab
In the Video tab, the video can be cut and cropped. If you have the impression that what is being said in the video is too quiet and the background noise is too loud, you can correct this with Speech Boost. Export a part of a video as a separate file or remove ads from films and series recorded from Amazon Freevee or Paramount Plus.
The Subtitles Tab
In this tab you search for subtitles in numerous languages. Several subtitles can be saved per video and removed again at any time.
Audials One can also translate existing subtitles: Hover over the downloaded subtitles, click the binoculars icon and select your preferred language.
Our Tip: Correct Radio Recordings Tagging
Audials automatically adds the appropriate ID3 tags to music recordings from the radio, such as song name, artist, genre. Audials then sorts the music tracks by genre. If you know that you will be recording radio stations of a certain genre, you can enter it in Audials before you start recording. This ensures that your music collection doesn't get mixed up afterwards, because many songs can be assigned to several genres.
In Radio, click Save recordings in at the bottom and enter the genre. Start recording. Audials will assign all music tracks to the pre-defined genre.
Audials Tips: How to Record Video Streaming in the Integrated Player and Music from Streaming Websites
Newsletter April 2023

Another new feature in the current Audials One concerns music recording: those who don't want to install a streaming service app on their PC can record from the streaming service's website.
Our tip: Record video streaming with Audials' integrated player
Audials One records movies and series from streaming services during playback. You can play videos not only from Chrome, Firefox, or Edge but also directly in Audials using the internal player.
It's enough to log in once with your streaming login details in Audials. After that, you can open Audials at any time, search for videos there, and start recording directly.
You can use your browser for other tasks during recording, which is not recommended when recording from the browser.
The internal player achieves a fourfold recording speed on Netflix, and double the speed in the browser.
How do I use the internal player for recording?
Click on the service you want to record in Video Streaming, and a window with the recording settings will open. Activate the internal player. Check if all other settings are correct.

Our tip: Record music streaming from the website
We always want to give you multiple ways to achieve the perfect recording result. Therefore, for music, there's not only the option to record from the streaming service's app but also from its website.
