Is Narrafix Studio a full audio editor, and can it replace my DAW?
Even though Narrafix takes care of most of the time-consuming and complex tasks in audiobook post-production, Narrafix Studio is not a full-featured Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) — and it does not aim to fully replace professional audio software.
What Narrafix Studio is designed for
Narrafix Studio was developed to make proof-editing (fine-editing and proofing) as simple and efficient as possible. It is a browser-based tool that allows you to:
- Review and fine-tune the results of automated editing and automated proofing
- Proof audio against the script
- Adjust small details such as breaths, pauses, or minor corrections
- Share projects securely with collaborators (e.g., proof editors, narrators, or studios)
- Create comment-markers for further DAW-editing if necessary
This streamlined approach helps reduce repetitive technical work, so you can focus on final checks and corrections.
What Narrafix Studio does not do
Unlike a full DAW, Narrafix Studio does not include:
- Audio recording
- Mixing or mastering features
- Copy & paste editing or multi-track arrangements
- Advanced plugins, effects, or sound design tools
Working together with DAWs
Narrafix is intended to be part of your production chain — not the replacement of it. After proof editing in Studio, you can:
- Download the processed WAV files
- Export AAF or RPP session files for use in DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic, or Reaper
- Continue mastering, mixing, and finalizing in the software of your choice
✅ In summary: Narrafix Studio is a specialized proof-editing environment for audiobook production, not a full audio editor. It simplifies review and fine-editing, while DAWs remain essential for recording, mastering, and advanced audio work.
