When it comes to the audio quality of a podcast, many podcasters use plugins like iZotope, Waves, Accentize and others like them with their preferred editing software. This helps both optimize and repair audio after an episode has been recorded. But for podcasters who may not be confident when it comes to audio quality, there's a great online tool called Auphonic that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
This includes levelling the volume of all speakers, ensuring music and background noise isn't too loud, noise removal and reverb reduction, setting the EQ so each voice isn't hard on the listener's ears, and more. They also provide show notes, chapters and transcripts, which means you've got pretty much everything you need when it comes to creating a great episode.
You can have two hours free eac month and then either choose a monthly plan or one-off credits as you need them, and I'll leave a link in the show notes so you can check Auphonic out for yourself. It's a great time saver and it really makes a difference to your audio. Until the next time, happy podcasting.
