For instance, instead of a separate button press for deleting a piece of audio, joining the two split pieces of audio together afterwards, and then crossfading them to make the edit seamless, with SWS we’ll be able to consolidate all of those actions into a single press of a key. In this tutorial, we’re going to use SWS to make our button presses more effective by chaining together several actions. Next, we’re going to download The SWS Reaper extension, an open source add-on that expands the functionality of Reaper considerably. The one thing all great podcasts have in common is ample time set aside for post production. More than that, it comes with a 60 day trial period, and you can keep using it without any loss of features after the trial ends for free! You could continue to use Reaper forever without paying for it, but with all the customizability built in, and updates rolling out every 2 weeks, I think you’ll find after 2 months that the $60 price tag is more than worth it.
It might not seem like you’re saving much time over a single edit, but multiplied by a thousand, the time savings quickly add up! Downloading our toolsįor this tutorial, we’re going to be using Reaper, a digital audio workstation (DAW) that is not only powerful and customizable, but at only $60, it is also one of the most affordable DAWs on the market.
Using this system, we make multiple edits with a single action. Each edit before implementing this system took between 3-9 user actions. Putting it all together and actually editing our podcastĮach of our podcasts average about 1000 edits per hour. This includes using EQ, compression, gates, and other effects.ģ. Setting up FX Chains and templates to save time at the beginning of each new podcast. Setting up Reaper actions that combine several elements of editing into a few button pressesĢ. This guide will take you through the following:ġ. By the end of this tutorial, we’re going to make you a great podcast editor who uses only 3 buttons to edit their podcast!
A great audio editor will do all of this and design a custom workflow to make it as easy as possible. A good audio editor will be able to do this using audacity, but it will take a while. By this I mean that somewhere along the line, before the podcast is published, someone goes through and ensures the levels are right, the flow is consistent, the audio has been scrubbed of distractions (excessive noise, long spaces of dead air, over use of filler words, etc.) and the overall mix feels right. However! The one thing all great podcasts have in common is ample time set aside for post production. Choices made about subject matter, tone, hosts, guests and equipment will all shape the end result in some way. A great podcast is a combination of several factors.
