6 Ways To Speed Up Your Podcast Editing Process

Without sacrificing the quality of your edits, here are 6 ways you can speed up significantly and edit podcast audio MUCH faster:

1. Use keyboard shortcuts for your most used commands.
2. Listen to and verify every edit immediately after making it so when you get to the end of the file you’re done.
3. Don’t even attempt super-tricky edits (like removing the umm from “and-umm”), unless you’re getting paid extra to remove literally every single umm, etc.
4. Speed up playback to 1.5x or more. Sadly, some applications don’t have this functionality.
5. If you’re editing someone else’s podcast and they regularly use lots of filler words and generally have poor presentation skills, work with them (gently) to overcome these deficiencies.
6. Get in the mindset and habit of zipping through your editing quickly while, of course, always maintaining the highest quality editing.
