(upbeat music) I'm Danny Brown, and you're listening to One Minute Podcast Tips, the show that helps you be a better podcaster in just a minute a week. If you want more specific tips just for you in your podcast, check out the Magic Mic membership at oneminutepodcasttips.com/support. And now, this week's episode. (upbeat music) For most podcasters, post-production and editing each episode is where a lot of their time can be spent.
Fine tuning a sound or removing unwanted sounds and words, etc. can mean spending about 2-3 hours editing a 1 hour episode. However, you can remove a lot of this time if you prepare beforehand. Here are 3 quick tips. Number 1. Tweak your processing before recording. Many audio interfaces and some mics come with onboard processing to set your sound levels, EQ, compression and more.
Number 2. Have notes and bullet points, as well as follow up questions based on where a conversation might shift, so you're not struggling to fill space during recording. Number 3. Ensure your guests, if you have guests, are in the best surroundings with no distractions. This negates the need for specific sound removal later.
By planning ahead and making the sound as good as it can be before recording, you'll remove a lot of the need for post-production and editing later, because the tricks you do in editing have already been played during recording. Until the next time, happy new year and happy podcasting. (upbeat music) Thanks for listening.
