Audio production for podcasts/voiceover/music production covers recording setup, DAW mastery (Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reaper, Ableton), multitrack editing, mixing (levels, EQ, compression), and mastering. Core tools: interfaces, microphones, RX for cleanup, Ozone for loudness. Creator economy skill: podcasts are $2B industry, Spotify paid $1B+ for content, bad audio = audience drop-off. Learning path: L1 (hobby, $0-25k) тЖТ L2 (professional podcaster/editor, $40-75k) тЖТ L3 (audio engineer/producer, $75-120k+). Time investment: 6-9 months to L2 competency.

тЭУ FAQ

What microphone budget do I need?
Entry ($200): Audio-Technica AT2020 USB condenser + basic interface. Intermediate ($500): Rode Procaster + Behringer Scarlett 2i2, adds XLR flexibility. Pro ($1500+): Shure SM7B + RME Babyface interface + acoustic treatment. Most podcasters succeed at $500 level with good mic technique.
RX cleanup vs manual editing?
iZotope RX automates broadband noise reduction, mouth clicks, hum removal. Manual editing (strip silence, fade cuts) is tedious. Hybrid workflow: RX handles 70% of cleanup, you manually fix remaining artifacts. RX is worth the $200 cost if recording 10+ hours/month.
Podcast workflow vs music production workflow?
Podcasting: dialogue focus, compression for consistency, minimal EQ, loudness (LUFS -16 to -14). Music production: individual instrument/vocal layers, aggressive EQ/compression, dynamic range preservation, mastering to -14 LUFS. Tools overlap but priorities diverge, DAW choice matters less than workflow.
How do podcasters monetize?
Spotify/Apple Podcasts: $0 direct (ad-revenue share coming 2026). Patreon: $5-50 tiers (production cost $15-25/episode). Sponsorships: $500-5k per episode (brands pay once you hit 5k+ listeners). YouTube audio channel: small AdSense (requires setup). Podcast network deals: $500-2k upfront (ceded monetization rights).
Descript AI for podcast editing?
Descript auto-generates transcripts, edits via text deletion, exports video + clips. Saves 30-50% editing time. Downsides: filler-word removal sounds robotic, can't fix audio quality in-app. Use for rough assembly, hand-polish in Reaper/Logic afterward.
What LUFS target for mastering?
Podcasts: -16 to -14 LUFS (YouTube -13 to -12, Spotify -14). Music: -14 LUFS (genre-dependent). Loudness Wars dead, target loudness тЙа quality. Measure with Ozone plugin (Loudness Meter) or free Youlean Loudness Meter.
Where to distribute podcast?
RSS feed тЖТ Anchor (Spotify), Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher. Anchor handles distribution free; others require RSS upload to each platform. YouTube for video versions. Merlin/DistroKid if monetizing (takes 30% cut). Most podcasters start with Anchor + manual Apple/Google upload.
