- Fixture findings
On the 15.0s 0 dB SNR cafe chatter and hum speech anchor, Auphonic suppresses residual noise in silent windows to -96.5 dBFS (100.0% noise reduction, 1.385 speech energy ratio), scoring 50.0/65 due to the 6.41s free-tier audio outro appended at the end (42.73% duration delta).
- Original historical observation
Uploaded the 15.0s mixed audio master (anchor_voiceisolate_v1/mixed_audio.mp3) to the Auphonic Production console (https://auphonic.com/engine/) and ran the Voice Cleaner (remove music) preset; cloud processing finished in 38.67s, cleanly stripping background music across 0–15s while appending a 6.41s free-tier audio jingle from 15.0s to 21.41s, exporting a 293.9 KB MP3.

Capability · 76/100 · 70%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task quality | 50 / 65 | Deterministic acoustic & container check: background music across the original 15.0s master is cleanly stripped while speech is preserved with adaptive loudness leveling (+5.3 dB); however, because the free tier appends a 6.41s Auphonic audio jingle at the tail (extending total duration to 21.41s), duration-bounds scoring deducts points (50.0/65). | Evidence A → |
| Deliverable specifications | 15 / 20 | Free tier natively exports a 44.1kHz 112kbps stereo MP3 (293.9 KB), though an audible Auphonic jingle is appended at the tail unless paid credits are used (15.0/20). | Evidence A → |
| Processing speed | 11 / 15 | Cloud asynchronous production pipeline completed music removal, adaptive leveling, and encoding in 38.67s (11.0/15). | Evidence A → |
