I often get comments on the broadcast standard of my audio. So I’ve made a quick video for you below that shows 2 things that I do to ‘treat’ my raw podcast audio to really sweeten it up.
Interested in the software I used in this video? You can get a trial version of Adobe Audition here (be sure to get the right version for your operating system PC or MAC).
Or if you’ve got a few hundred dollars to spend you can pick up the full version over at Amazon. If you’re serious about your podcast editing and post production then you will not regret it (I’ve been using this software for 10 years and I’m still in love with it).
If you are interested I also offer a complete “done for you” approach to podcast production. Click here to find out more

If you’re an editing junkie like me, you may of fantasised about editing audio on a tablet device like the Ipad. C’mon admit it … it’d be pretty cool editing with a touchscreen!
Well I’ve just picked up a 32GB Ipad on my way back through Malaysia. And it didn’t take me long to search the app store for an editing app to mess around with. The video below is a quick review of an app I found called Pocket Wavepad. I tried to edit an episode of my podcast using Wavepad with some interesting results.
Apologies about the quality of this recording, but I explain why it’s a little wonky in the video.

If you have trouble with getting all of your audio to sit at the one volume level then look no further. Recently I discovered some free software to help even out your podcast sound levels. It’s called Levelator and you can use it on PC and MAC.
Once you’ve finished recording your podcast you should have a raw audio file. This is the file that you’ll edit down. That might mean getting rid of coughs, splutters, sneezes and other unwanted audio.
There’s no doubt about it – editing is a gift, but one thing I hear a lot is what I call “over editing”.
