Chapter 2: How can plugins improve podcast audio quality?
When it comes to the audio quality of a podcast, many podcasters use plugins like iZotope, Waves, AccentEyes, 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 leveling 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 for each month and then either choose a monthly plan or one of credits as you need them. And I'll leave a link in the show notes so you can check Ophonic out for yourself.
It's a great time saver and it really makes a difference to your audio. Until the next time, happy podcasting. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy One Minute Podcast Tips, be sure to share with your friends and other podcasters so they can enjoy it too. Until the next time, happy podcasting.
