Chris Shennan

I’m an audio editor with a background in audio forensics and music production, specialising in cleaning, restoring, and enhancing problematic audio.

My forensic work involves detailed, methodical analysis of real-world recordings — often noisy, compressed, or poorly captured — where accuracy and transparency matter. Alongside this, I have over 15 years’ experience in music production and post-production, giving me a strong technical and creative understanding of sound.

I work on dialogue clean-up, noise reduction, clarity enhancement, level balancing, and general audio repair for podcasts, video, archive material, and creative projects. My approach is careful and honest: improving intelligibility and quality without introducing artefacts or misrepresenting the source.

If you have audio that’s difficult, damaged, or simply needs to sound better, I can help.

I have professional experience working with a wide range of real-world audio recordings, including noisy, compressed, and poorly captured material. My work involves careful audio cleaning, restoration, and enhancement, with an emphasis on accuracy, transparency, and repeatable processes.

I regularly work in iZotope RX for detailed repair and noise reduction, alongside industry-standard DAW software for editing, balancing, and delivery. In parallel, I have extensive experience in music production and post-production, allowing me to approach audio editing with both technical precision and a strong ear for clarity and balance.
