Ryan Schmidt is the preeminent thought leader in the music-law space. His influence has led to him appearing on BBC news, CBS mornings and every major podcast in the music industry. Ryan is also a professional member of the Recording Academy, with the audio engineering chops to back up his music law profession.
Ryan produces high quality video content to his followers regarding music law. He emphasizes the importance of high quality voiceovers in his Instagram videos: “Audio quality is more important than video quality. People would rather watch low quality videos than have to listen to low quality audio.”
“It was completely artifact free”
However, Ryan doesn’t always have the time to record in perfect conditions. “Normally I would record in my studio. I set up my Rode mic. Get the levels perfect. But oftentimes I’m on the road and this isn’t possible.”
One night while on the go for an appearance, Ryan thought of a new idea for a video. Ryan got out his iPhone and recorded the video on the spot in the hotel room. But the audio was sub par. “It looked great but sounded terrible. Echoey, boomy a lot of room presence.”
Then Ryan thought to himself “I wonder if AI can make my iPhone sound like my studio.” Ryan chose Kits AI for the job. After he returned to his home studio, he trained a high quality voice model on Kits. Then he ran his iPhone audio through it.
“Kits has truly upscaled my ability to create on the fly”
The transformation spoke for itself. “It looked and sounded just as good as my other videos. It was completely artifact free. The dropouts and boominess from the iPhone audio were repaired and the echo was gone. If I looked away from the camera, the Kits audio just kept everything consistent.”
Ryan posted the video and immediately it was a smash, receiving thousands of views within its first day. “It was indistinguishable from the audio in the other videos. I wouldn’t have posted that video without Kits AI.”
With Kits, Ryan now has the confidence that high quality voiceovers are just a click away. He doesn’t have to plug in at home, his perfect AI model lives on the cloud. “Kits has truly upscaled my ability to create on the fly. I can be anywhere and make it sound good.”
