Audio plugins are small self-contained audio processors which you can use inside your audio software. Most DAWs have built-in audio processors. In addition, 3rd party plugins can be purchased, installed and used within most DAWs. The fundamental types of audio plugins for podcast production include compressors, limiters, EQs, channel strips,
If you’re not sure what compression is: What is Compression? (Audio Processing) Compressors are audio processors that are vital to producing professional audio and they come in all shapes and sizes with widely varying features and controls. Some compressors have only one adjustable parameter (“one-knob compressors”) and others have many
When producing audio it’s almost always necessary to use some type of audio compression. The process of Compression reduces the dynamic range of audio. Dynamic range is the difference in loudness between the quietest parts of the audio signal and the loudest parts of the audio signal. Meaning, it’s the
Bringing in revenue is one thing, but being profitable is another. And it’s possible to have lots of clients and NOT be profitable! Profit equals income minus expenses, and expenses include monetary expenses as well as your time expenditure. Are you profiting enough? To answer that question compare your revenue,
Before publishing, how do you make sure that the loudness level of your podcast episodes are at or near the industry standards? (-19 LUFS for mono episodes, and -16 LUFS for stereo episodes) I use iZotope RX‘s Loudness Module to precisely set the final loudness level. Many people use Auphonic.

Yes, some microphones accentuate the frequency spectrum in the sibilance range (typically from around 5 kHz up to around 9kHz). Therefore, whatever natural sibilance a person’s voice has will be accentuated by these microphones. Keep in mind that in all cases, two factors greatly affect the quality of the sound
This is pretty cool – check out this article with lots of pics: Unplugged Kingsize Megaphones Help Nature Explorers To Listen To The Forests. An installation of three gigantic wooden megaphones built by a team of Estonian Academy of Arts interior architecture students will be opened for all forest dwellers
The single most helpful book I’ve ever read on the topic of handling rejection is Rejection Proof by Jia Jiang. I love that book so much. One important truth: The more prepared you are, the more comfortable you will be approaching potential clients. That’s why in my smaller course called
When you purchase royalty-free music to use as the introduction music for your podcast show, in almost all cases that music track has already been mastered, which means EQ’d, compressed and set to the standard LUFS loudness level. Therefore, you may believe that you don’t have to do ANY additional
Upward compression is explained very well in this Fabfilter video. Basically, regular compression (“downward compression”) reduced the level of the loud parts, and upward compression raises the level of the lower volume parts. Both reduce and control the dynamic range of raw audio, which produces a better listening experience listeners.
Plugin Doctor is a diagnostic tool, therefor not needed by 99.999% of podcasters. I haven’t used this plugin yet but it has a reputation for being incredibly handy for analyzing exactly how individual plugins are affecting the audio that passes through them. From their website: Plugindoctor fills a longstanding gap

NOTE: Full definition below. But in short… Loudness normalization sets an audio file to a certain LUFS (perceived loudness) level. Peak normalization sets the peak level of an audio file to a certain dB level, and is much less useful in podcast production in my experience. There are two places
If a podcast participant uses a curse word and you’d like to remove it, there are several ways to accomplish this: Delete the word entirely.

Sometimes when a podcast participant is extremely dynamic (alternating between very loud and very soft) it can help a lot to use a limiter BEFORE using a compressor, in terms of the order of plugins in your plugin chain. The limiter can tame the extreme peaks so that the compressor
