05 / FAQ
Common questions.
Audio podcast editing covers noise and background cleanup, voice levelling across hosts and guests, tightening pauses and false starts, episode assembly with your intro and outro, feed ready file exports and show notes ready timestamps, so each episode lands sounding consistent every week.
Cleanup helps a lot. We can reduce noise, tame room echo and balance uneven voices so a rough recording becomes far more listenable. It cannot fully rescue a poor recording though, and if that is the case we will tell you straight and suggest what to change next time.
Both. Plenty of shows send us every episode on a weekly schedule so the sound and structure stay consistent, and others send single episodes or a back catalogue. Tell us which suits your show and we will set the workflow and turnaround around it.
We deliver whatever your host and platforms require, commonly MP3 and WAV, exported to the spec you need. If your hosting platform has particular loudness, bitrate or metadata requirements, send them through with the brief and we will match them on every episode.
Standard turnaround is three to five business days per episode, covering cleanup, levelling, tightening, assembly and export. Faster turnarounds are available for regular series and time sensitive releases, and we confirm the timeline with you before the edit begins.
Pricing is quote based and depends on episode length, the number of voices, how much cleanup is needed and your turnaround. After a short brief we send a clear quote in AUD for the project, or an ongoing rate if you publish episodes every week.
