Audio Processing
January 21, 2024
Create professional-quality podcasts with proper audio processing, noise reduction, and format optimization for all major platforms.
Professional podcast audio requires careful attention to recording quality, post-processing, and distribution formats. This guide covers the complete audio production pipeline.
Recording Best Practices
Start with quality source material:
- Microphone selection: Dynamic vs condenser for different environments
- Room acoustics: Minimize reflections and background noise
- Recording levels: Maintain -12dB to -6dB peak levels
- Backup recording: Always have redundant audio capture
Post-Production Workflow
- Noise reduction: Remove background hiss and hum
- EQ and filtering: Enhance voice clarity
- Compression: Even out dynamic range
- Limiting: Prevent clipping and distortion
- Loudness normalization: Meet platform standards
Platform-Specific Optimization
Different podcast platforms have specific requirements:
- Apple Podcasts: MP3 at 128 kbps, -16 LUFS
- Spotify: MP3 or AAC, -14 LUFS recommended
- Google Podcasts: MP3 at 128-320 kbps
- YouTube: AAC at 128 kbps for audio-only content
