Hey! You found our secret SEO page.

I heard a weird noise, so obviously I am in charge of the investigation.

This page exists so search engines understand that Lost Audio Engine is a browser audio degradation and device-emulation workstation. Humans get the shorter version: give it a clean recording and build the tape, wall, phone, CRT, broken disc, camcorder, radio, or disastrous conference call that happened to it.

Okay, robot / Here are the facts

Audio degradation with a reason for every scar.

01 / What it is

A live modular audio rack

Lost Audio Engine processes WAV and MP3 files locally in a desktop browser. Drag devices into a left-to-right signal path, audition changes in realtime, compare the source and processed result, and export WAV.

02 / What it emulates

Media, devices, networks, and spaces

Tape age, wear, saturation, hiss, wow, and flutter
CRT, radio, phone, intercom, PA, and small-speaker systems
Cartridge, CD, camcorder, and damaged digital media
Conference codecs, packet loss, jitter, and robot-voice failures
Walls, wood, brick, metal, cavities, rattles, and resonant obstructions

03 / How deep it goes

Playable first. Precise when needed.

Important controls stay directly on each device. Deeper inspectors expose models, failure mechanics, exact values, and presets. The final stage includes automation, master EQ, noise reduction, ambience, dynamics, safety limits, meters, and loudness estimates.

04 / Who it is for

People making sound belong to a world

Sound designers, filmmakers, audio-drama teams, game developers, podcasters, musicians, and anyone building found media, diegetic dialogue, degraded transitions, unreliable communications, or deliberately beaten-up texture.

What should this recording have survived?

Start with fifteen minutes of active use. Join B&E’s occasional mailing list to unlock the workstation without a time limit.
