You Can’t Perform Magic When Trying to Fix Bad Audio

If any recorded audio sounds terrible and has lots of major problems, there’s no way to magically fix everything 100% and make it sound great. New podcast editors/producers don’t understand this, but after one experience of spending 3 hours banging their head against the wall trying to fix some nasty piece of audio hopefully they have an epiphany.

Let us all endeavor to capture good quality audio!

Fact FYI: Podcasting is mainly comprised of people who know absolutely nothing about audio, let alone the ultra-importance of capturing good audio. I’m not criticizing anyone, I’m just stating a fact that we need to acknowledge if we want to do a better job helping everyone produce better audio.
