My Editing Workflow January 2020

  • Download episode through Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.
  • Momentarily silence guest audio channel in multitrack (if guest)
  • Capture white noise print of the channel, then start the noise reduction process
  • Process auto gate at -35 decibels (anything under -35 decibels will be removed)
  • Process equalizer to raise quiet areas and lower loud areas
  • Raise volume to -6 decibels
  • Silence host audio file in multitrack, then repeat everything above
  • Edit out "um"s, "uh"s, filler words, repetition, breaths, clicks, background ambiance, folly noise, etc.
  • Look for large audio gap silence, then cut them out
  • Save file
  • Repeat process above on any intros, ads audio inserts, etc.
  • Attach the extra file pieces to the main episode file
  • Save file
  • Send to client either dropbox, Google Drive, etc.
