Audio Editing – $50/hour

There are multiple steps when it comes to making your podcast sound amazing, and one of the most important, next to actually recording it, is editing. At what audio level is everyone speaking? Need to get rid of some stray noises? Had just a few too many ums? We can  cut and paste your recording back together so you sound succinct and spectacular. Your podcast will be mastered to broadcast quality. 

Transcription – $1/minute

Having a transcript of your episode is becoming industry standard for good reason. A transcript will not only allow easy access to your podcast for those with auditory disabilities, it will make referencing what you and your guests say  easier. This will also improve Search Engine Optimization(SEO) , ensuring more people see your podcast when they search for various topics. Transcripts are tedious to make , so let us take care of that for you.
