PODCAST EDITING

What are the different costs of editing podcast audio?

Podcast audio editing costs are broken down into the costs of optimizing your recording studio, purchasing equipment, and potentially hiring a podcast editor. Like everything in podcasting, each of these items are scalable. If you’re determined to start a podcast, you can do it by recording on your phone and learning how to edit audio on Audible for free. However, many people find that adding some costs increases both the convenience of producing a podcast and the overall quality of your episodes.

The Cost Of Setting Up A Recording Studio for Easy Podcast Editing

Many podcasters we work with don’t have a recording studio at all. And that’s okay. When we talk about setting up your recording studio, we’re talking about everything from your kitchen to your state-of-the-art soundproof lab. Wherever you record is your studio, and there are ways to optimize your space.

Reducing Noise

If you’re recording in an open office or room in a house you share with others, thinking about when to record your podcast might be the best way to avoid background noise. Try to record before or after typical office hours, or during quiet times of the day. If there’s a regular hour when no one is home, claim it as your recording time.

Footsteps, door-slams, and talking are all background noise you’ll have to deal with in the edit. Even traffic (if your room has lots of windows) can occasionally be heard on audio. If you have total liberty of what you can do to your space, you can buy or build acoustic panels to help optimize the sound quality, or try other home studio sound solutions. Learning how to edit podcast audio can help improve your recording studio, even if you don’t have a complete sound-proof solution.
