If you’re producing a podcast of your own, you’re likely a writer, journalist, or subject matter expert with great ideas and stories but working with a small budget. Poor audio quality can detract from the message that you’re trying to deliver, so it’s important to get great-sounding, compelling audio.
With a few simple steps, you can vastly improve the sound quality of your podcast—without buying any new equipment or software. Here are 10 podcast audio production tips to help get you the best possible sound.
1. Find a quiet room with plenty of space around you
Jun 17, 2019 In addition, Nectar 3 includes Melodyne 4 essential and iZotope RX Breath Control. Use Melodyne 4 to perform surgical pitch corrective work. And RX Breath Control to detect and suppress breaths in vocal recordings. Universal Audio Neve 88RS Channel Strip. Introduced in 2001, the Neve 88 Series is another renowned analog mixing.
Whenever you start recording with a microphone while reading from a script or capturing an interview, think about things in your environment that might make noise. Is there a fan on your computer? Can you hear mouse clicks as you scroll through your script? What about page turns? Refrigerators? Cell phones? Cats? Dogs? Birds?
Feb 02, 2015 This video shows how to take audio recordings from different sound sources, and combine them using RX 4 Advanced’s EQ Match modules, in just a few easy steps. Download your free, 10-day trial. Pyramind's Elite Sessions bring globally recognized producers and DJs to you in an intimate event setting. Watch these videos to deepen your knowledge on specific topics ranging from sound design to getting a management deal to arrangement and collaboration advice. It is possible to use iZotope RX in two different ways: as an adjunct to a DAW, or in stand–alone mode. Even in RX2, there was already a facility which enabled Spectral Repair as a plug–in from within a DAW. In RX4 this has been replaced by a more fully featured ‘round trip’ capability called RX Connect.
Use headphones to monitor your recording. Turn them up to listen to what the microphone is hearing before you start your delivery or interview. Try to minimize any extra noise as much as possible. A cleaner recording will be easier to handle later on in the process.
It’s also important to think about the acoustics of the space you’re in. Hard, flat surfaces reflect sound like a mirror reflects light. Leave space around you and your microphone to minimize early reflections. Set up on a carpet, near some bookcases, and away from walls. Also avoid reverberant spaces. Some offices, classrooms, conference rooms, and huddle spaces can be especially reverberant. Reverb is hard to remove after the fact (the Dialogue De-reverb module in RX Advanced makes it much easier), but easy to add later on if you need it for some particular effect.
