MIXING – One of the quickest turn-offs for listeners is poorly mixed audio. No one likes to crank up the volume for one host just to have the other host blasting through the speakers when they talk. Part of mixing involves this simple task of balancing the audio. We want the final product to sound natural and be pleasing to listen to. We will also utilize EQ, compression and other necessary processing to deliver sonically pleasing audio. Mixing also includes normalizing the piercing "ssss" sounds called sibilance or the powerful plosives that can result from the letters; p, b, t, d, k, or g.

MASTERING – Mastering can be thought of as the glue and polish that makes the audio sound good on any devices. One important step of mastering is ensuring that the final audio is at a consistent level. When listeners switch from a song on Spotify or another podcast to your podcast, they shouldn't have to make significant changes to the volume no matter what device they are listening on.

ID3 TAGGING – We attach the meta information such as the title of your episode, artist/author, website URL, and copyright to each episode’s media file.

NOISE REDUCTION – Many times when recording outside of a treated studio environment, there can be a noisy fan in the background or the sound of vehicles driving down the street or way too much reverb. We will reduce these unwanted and undesirable noises, and in some cases, eliminate them entirely.
