| Fixture findings | On the 15.0s 0 dB SNR cafe chatter and hum speech master, Cleanvoice AI achieves 100.0% background noise reduction (-96.8 dBFS residual noise in silent windows) and 100.0% duration retention (exact 15.0s with zero audio jingle), preserving crisp vocal clarity (1.662 speech energy ratio, 65.0/65). | 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 Cleanvoice Beta workspace (https://app.cleanvoice.ai/beta) and processed it with Clean Audio enabled (Keep Music off); cloud pipeline finished in 71.59s, deducting 1 minute of free credit (29m remaining) and exporting a 588.8 KB 44.1kHz 321kbps MP3 isolated vocal file (15.0s, 100.0% retention) plus DAW timeline marker exports. | 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. |

| Pricing transparency | 33 / 35 Credit and subscription tiers display exact per-hour rates, and the workspace header transparently displays remaining free trial minutes (Credit 30m -> 29m), deducting 1 credit for the run with no credit card required (01_landing.png, 02_result.png). | 34 / 35 The workspace sidebar prominently discloses the 2 hours/month free quota and states upfront that free productions come with an audio jingle, alongside transparent upgrade and one-time credit pricing (01_landing.png). |
| Interaction restraint | 28 / 30 Once signed in, uploading mixed audio with Clean Audio enabled (and Keep Music unchecked) runs smoothly and provides an interactive dual-mode waveform player, DAW timeline marker exports (Audacity/Audition/Reaper), and direct 321kbps MP3 download with zero audio watermarks or paywall popups (02_result.png, 03_download.png). | 26 / 30 Supports direct audio drop and one-click production with the Voice Cleaner (remove music) preset, offering dual-waveform input/output comparison and direct MP3 download; points deducted because free-tier exports append a ~6.41s spoken Auphonic jingle at the end (02_result.png, 03_download.png). |

| Task quality | 65 / 65 Deterministic acoustic & container check: cleanly isolated the 15.0s mixed audio master into a 15.0s high-fidelity vocal track (100.0% duration retention) at 44,100 Hz sample rate and 321 kbps bitrate (588.8 KB), stripping background music and noise with zero appended platform jingles (65.0/65). | 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). |
| Deliverable specifications | 18 / 20 Free trial account natively exports a 44.1kHz 321kbps high-bitrate MP3 vocal track (mixed_audio_clean.mp3, 588.8 KB) alongside Audacity / Audition / Reaper timeline markers, with zero watermarks or truncation (18.0/20). | 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). |
| Processing speed | 8 / 15 Free-tier asynchronous queue completed Prepare, Background noise, Leveling, and Export stages in 71.59s (8.0/15). | 11 / 15 Cloud asynchronous production pipeline completed music removal, adaptive leveling, and encoding in 38.67s (11.0/15). |
