Examples

1. Podcast Segment Separation

Podcast Producer

Background

A podcast producer needs to add a 2-second pause after the host's introduction to clearly separate it from the interview segment.

Problem

The audio flows directly without a break, making it difficult for listeners to distinguish between sections.

How to use

Upload the podcast MP3 file, set insertTime to 60 seconds (end of intro), duration to 2 seconds, and output as MP3.

insertTime: 60, duration: 2, outputFormat: mp3

Outcome

A 2-second silence is inserted at 60 seconds, creating a clear separation between the intro and interview.

2. Music Transition Enhancement

Sound Engineer

Background

A sound engineer wants to add a 1.5-second silence before the final chorus in a song to build anticipation.

Problem

The transition to the final chorus is abrupt and lacks dramatic impact.

How to use

Upload the WAV audio file, set insertTime to 150 seconds, duration to 1.5 seconds, and choose FLAC format for lossless quality.
