Review in detail
Hindenburg Systems ApS is registered in Denmark under DK-32359337, with its office at Knabrostraede 20, 1st floor, 1210 Copenhagen. The about page says the software began with colleagues at the Danish National Broadcasting Corporation.
Hindenburg PRO is described as spoken-word editing software built for journalists and audio storytellers, with the line record, transcribe, edit, montage, mix, publish. It covers the editing half of what Riverside offers, not remote guest capture.
Products
The product list names Hindenburg PRO for podcast and radio production, Narrator for audiobooks and a field recorder for iPhone. PRO 2 combines the editor with editing by transcript.
Visitors pick a role (Personal, Business or Education), and each has its own licensing page. A trial is offered.
How it fits next to Riverside
Riverside records guests and edits in the browser. Hindenburg runs as desktop software, so recording remote guests means pairing it with a tool such as Cleanfeed and importing the files.
The pages we read do not show prices or cloud hosting, so cost and data location cannot be compared.
Entity and privacy
The data and privacy page refers to Hindenburg Systems ApS as the controller and says it uses a template from SEQ Legal. Contact details and VAT number appear in the footer.
No storage location is given for any cloud features.
Known limits
It does not record remote guests on its own. Prices, platform details and data locations are not on the pages we read, and a desktop editor has a steeper learning curve than a browser studio.
Who Hindenburg fits
Journalists, radio producers and podcasters who edit on the desktop. Teams needing guest capture should add ipDTL or Studio Link.

Common questions
The pages we read describe it as an editor with a record-to-publish workflow, not a remote guest studio. Use a recorder alongside it.
