Episode 31 - What A Podcast Editor Typically Does - Audio Editing and Enhancement
A podcast editor plays a crucial role in transforming raw audio recordings into polished, engaging, and professional-sounding episodes. Their responsibilities can vary widely depending on the specific needs of the podcast and the editor's expertise. Here's a comprehensive look at what a podcast editor typically does:
Audio Editing and Enhancement
- The core function of a podcast editor is to refine and improve the raw audio. This involves:Noise reduction: Removing background noise, hums, or other unwanted sounds.
- Leveling: Ensuring consistent volume levels throughout the episode, especially when there are multiple speakers.
- EQ and compression: Adjusting frequencies to enhance voice clarity and applying compression to control dynamic range.
- Removing mistakes: Cutting out verbal stumbles, long pauses, or off-topic tangents.
- Adding transitions: Smoothly connecting different segments of the episode.
For example, an editor might use software to remove the sound of a car honking outside the recording studio or adjust the EQ to reduce the "boominess" in a host's voice.
