Our review
Hindenburg Systems ApS is registered in Denmark under VAT registration number DK-32359337. Its registered office and its principal place of business are both at Knabrostraede 20, 1st floor, DK-1210 Copenhagen K.
The company describes Hindenburg PRO as spoken-word audio editing software built for journalists and audio storytellers. It contrasts the product with DAWs designed for engineers and musicians, and says it removes technical complexity so users can focus on the story.
What does the Hindenburg workflow cover?
The home page lists the steps record, transcribe, edit, montage, mix and publish. Hindenburg PRO 2 is the current version named on the page.
The site has separate entry points for radio and podcast work and for audio books, and offers a personal, business or education role selector.
Who built it and why does that matter?
The about page says the product was born in the mid-2000s and was made for journalists by journalists. A founder's background as a radio producer, sound engineer and journalist at the Danish National Broadcasting Corporation is part of the story the company tells.
The privacy policy names Hindenburg Systems ApS as the data controller for website visitors and users.
Where does it fall short of Pro Tools?
Hindenburg describes itself as not an average DAW. The pages we read show no MIDI, virtual instrument, surround or video sync features, so music production and film post-production teams need another tool.
Prices, supported operating systems and the hosting location are not shown in the text we read.
Known limits
The pages we read show no prices, no platform list and no hosting location. Hindenburg targets speech production, so it is not a replacement for Pro Tools in music recording, instrument work or film mixing. For music-first work see Bitwig Studio.
Who Hindenburg PRO fits
Radio, podcast and audiobook producers who want a Danish vendor and a tool shaped around speech editing instead of music tracks.

Questions buyers ask

Probably not. Hindenburg describes itself as built for spoken-word production, and the pages we read do not list music-production features.
