Editing Service Descriptions
OUR PROFESSIONAL PODCAST EDITING INCLUDES:
- Editing out “ums,” stammering, long or awkward silence, heavy breaths, smacking, background noise, “you know,” and other crutch phrases. We go through every second of audio and pull out as many of these phrases as possible. In some instances an um is blended in with another word so much that it’s not possible to remove it. In other instances it is best to keep a stutter in so that there is context. That is, to remove it would cause a sentence fragment or a sentence to seemingly come from nowhere. Our goal is to create a polished, smooth flowing conversation and listeners will not be able to tell that any edits have been made.
- Audio-production enhancements, including vocal balancing, vocal compression, noise reduction, hiss/hum removal, and equalization.
- Mixing in any intros, outros, commercials, or music bumpers.
- Mixing down to -16 LUFS audio standard.
- Converting to high quality MP3.
- Tagging the MP3 file with the proper ID3 Meta Tags.
- Adding Album Art, Title, and SEO Tags.
- Completed MP3 delivered to either your Dropbox folder or media host.
- One podcast episode per week, 21-60 minutes raw audio length.*
