A safer, cleaner recording room for audiobook narrators.
Orison Lite 1.5 focuses on the two things narrators care about most: never losing a take, and fixing a chapter without fighting the software.
Record new audio exactly where it belongs. Orison shifts everything after it forward, so nothing is overwritten.
Click at the spot, press I, and record the pickup in place. The chapter falls back together with your new line right where it should be—and ⌘Z undoes the insert if you want to try again.
From capturing another performance to polishing a chapter and moving through it quickly, Orison keeps the essentials close.
Orison now records straight from your interface’s own clock, which avoids the clicks and tiny skips that can happen when devices don’t agree. It checks itself every time your microphone opens, and quietly records the standard way if anything is off.
Made for voice actors recording alternate reads: capture multiple takes without replacing your other performances, review the saved take history, and choose the one you want. Takes save as you record, and an interrupted take can be recovered if Orison or your Mac stops unexpectedly.
Send a selection to iZotope RX, Adobe Audition, or another editor; save your changes there and return the edited audio to Orison with one click.
A recording limiter and clear LIMIT indicator help you spot when your input level is too hot.
Move the meter to the left side of the waveform for a more natural recording and editing layout.
Jump with Home and End, zoom with the scroll wheel or a pinch gesture, and drag the playhead to the exact spot you need.
A native encoder exports a 100-minute chapter in about a minute and a half.
Orison warns you before your drive runs low and stops safely, keeping everything recorded so far.
New projects start at the rate ACX audiobooks are delivered at. If your interface runs at a different rate, Orison offers to match it when you start a new project, so nothing has to be converted.
Choose 16-bit, 24-bit (still the default) or 32-bit float for new recordings and WAV exports. 32-bit float can’t clip inside the file.
Set the capture buffer (10 to 100 ms), see exactly what your interface is doing, and optionally use a pre-roll through the same engine that records.
Idle, it shows the length of the whole narration. While recording, it shows the length of the recording you are making.
Choose your computer, and we’ll email you a private download link for the Mac or Windows version.
