RX 10’s Repair Assistant helps you clean up your raw audio. The handy “Learn” button creates a custom module/processor chain for your audio. It scans your audio and suggests custom amounts of optimization in each of the following modules: De-ess, De-click, De-reverb, De-noise and De-clip. Then you can preview the
Neutron 4 has so many modules within it including EQ, compressor, gate, exciter, transient shaper, sculptor and unmask. This complete mixing suite costs around $399. Probably the most helpful feature for podcasters, editors and producers is its Mix Assistant which evaluates your source audio and then dials in suggested EQ/compression/etc.
Remote podcast guests don’t know what they don’t know, so it’s our responsibility to soundcheck them and train them before starting the recording session to ensure we capture good audio from them. Here are 3 common occurrences which ruin remote guests’ audio quality: Noisy Background — Fans, air conditioners, noisy
The dbx 286s is a relatively inexpensive piece of audio gear that solves many issues for podcasters, Livestreamers and YouTubers. Issues it solves: Low volume / not enough preamp gain (It has plenty of preamp gain to boost up gain-hungry microphones like the Shure SM7b, etc.) EQ issues like not
The Realphones app/plugin makes your headphone audio sound like it’s coming through the expensive monitoring system of a high end recording studio control room. Some folks feel this can be useful with regard to producing good mixes. Others disagree. *NOTE: *In my opinion* apps/plugins like Realphones (or Sonarworks, Waves Abbey
There are many apps that can be used to loudness normalize an audio file to a specific LUFS loudness level. Many podcasters and producers use this process to equalize the volume level of each participant in podcast episodes. In most cases this works well; all the voices set to the
Enjoy my chat with Zack Hanni, owner and audio engineer at Sounds Like Soma in Philadelphia. He produces podcasts as well as music. We discuss podcast audio production in depth as well as the business aspects of being a podcast producer. Also check out his TikTok and YouTube channels. Also
I’ve heard good things about the RODE Wireless GO II. It’s a wireless transmitter AND recorder in one. And it doesn’t require any cables like a clip-on lavalier microphone does. You clip it on to your clothing as close to your mouth as you can manage and it will pick
It’s difficult to mix two podcast participants’ voices if one is wildly dynamic and the other is consistent and/or already compressed: The consistent and/or compressed voice will sound up front and intelligible the entire time; loud parts won’t be too loud and lower volume parts won’t be too low. The
The BOOM is a new audio interface from Apogee.

I’m posting lots of videos these days discussing podcast audio production.

By “haircut” I mean Limiting! *See the image above showing a nice straight “haircut”; the loudest peaks have been “tamed”. Limiters basically chop off any loud sharp pointy peaks in audio, and they do so without causing clipping distortion (unless you’re doing extreme limiting). Be careful: If a raw audio

Today I’m going to discuss some mistakes I’ve made producing podcasts. Microphone: In this episode I’m using my Electro-Voice RE320 microphone plugged into my Neve Portico II channel strip (using compression, EQ and a bit of saturation). The same microphone you see in my daily short videos here. I mention
TL;DR: If a podcast participant is NOT wearing headphones or earbuds — you MUST use echo cancellation on their audio. If a podcast participant IS wearing headphones or earbuds — you should NOT use echo cancellation on their audio. Full explanation: Echo cancellation is an audio process that can be
For around $35.99 the Clarity Vx plugin from Waves seems to be a pretty awesome noise removal plugin. I haven’t tried it yet but the reviews are excellent. Here’s a video of it completely removing the noise made by a blender! In podcast production this would come in very handy
Some remote guests love their AirPods so much, and simultaneously they know so little about audio quality, that they believe (wrongly) that the microphone in their AirPods is a great sounding option to use when they appear as a guest on podcasts. It’s not. That is all. OK, but seriously,
De-breath plugins intelligently lower the volume of a person’s breath sounds. (iZotope RX Breath Control, Waves DeBreath, etc.) Some podcasters, producers and editors really can’t stand the sound of breaths; some try to lower their volume, others cut them out altogether! It’s a matter of taste; though I will remind
