Editing the Timing Between a Question and the Answer

Normally the timing between a hosts’ question and the guests’ answer is determined by the natural flow of the conversation. But when using some remote recording platforms the participants audio recordings can “drift” or “slide” a bit and make that timing VERY unnatural.

For instance, in a recent episode of a show I listen to, the guest actually started answering before the question was finished. It sounded like this was due to the “drifting” of the recorded files.

TIP: When you’re editing podcast audio be sure to verify that the timing between questions and answers is natural, and if it’s not, then correct it 😉
