We don't outsource the work for someone else to edit. We do it all in our Georgetown, Texas editing studio for consistent, unrivaled quality.
You can find cheaper editing services, but you won't find better. The U.S. Air Force's Blue Grit Podcast that we edited the past two years has been named one of the 20 Best Military Tactics Podcasts of 2021.

LOW MICROPHONE VOLUME AND HISS PROBLEM: A customer sent us a recording he made where his microphone wasn't working. In fact, his voice was recorded by the guest's microphone who sat across from him. Besides very low volume, the recording also had hiss and verbal flubs. We enhanced the interviewer's voice, and removed the hiss and flubs.

PODCAST EDITING AND ENHANCING OF DISTORTION, HISS AND UNEVEN VOLUME LEVELS: In the before editing audio sample you’ll hear that the podcaster recorded herself on the left channel, and she chose the right channel to record her guest. You’ll notice at the very beginning the guest is making some noise. We removed the noise, reduced the hiss, adjusted the volume levels and made the recording sound more natural by converting it to monaural.

CRACKLE IN A PHONE INTERVIEW: A customer sent us a phone interview with a podcast guest. Unfortunately, the phone line was full of crackle. We removed the crackle and EQ'ed the voice to make it easier on the ears.

REMOVING ROOM NOISE AND ADJUSTING VOLUME LEVELS Besides editing and enhancing audio for companies and individuals, we also work as a government contractor, editing and enhancing podcasts for the U.S. Air Force. When you listen to the before sample below, you'll notice the sound of a furnace running in the background, as well as the volume levels of the voices are uneven (not to mention the voices reverberate against the walls and floors). We removed the noise and enhanced the voices in the after sample.

Buy Audio editing & enhancing
$8 per minute of your raw recording
A raw recording is the length of your recording before we work on it. If you don't need the entire recording edited and/or enhanced, determine the number of minutes of any segment(s) you want us to work on, and purchase just the number of minutes you need.
For example, if your recording is 5 minutes and 23 seconds in length, the price is $8 x 5 minutes (time is rounded to the nearest minute) = $40. Buy just the number of minutes you need, or buy minutes in bulk for future recordings. Your unused minutes accrue and we help you keep track of the number of remaining minutes by posting it on your download page. If you don't have enough minutes remaining to cover another editing project, you can buy additional minutes to add to your remaining minutes. NOTE: We don't work on secretly recorded, interrogation, and surveillance audio.
BONUS: Get 20% additional minutes when you buy at least 100 minutes in a single purchase. For example, purchase 150 minutes and get 20% additional minutes (30) for a total of 180 minutes.
