before and after samples:
Sample 1:
MAKE-READY PODCAST:
A customer purchased numerous podcast editing and enhancing jobs from us to transform his raw recordings into ready-to-go podcasts. We eliminated uhs, ums, and other verbal mistakes, eliminated hiss and hum, reduced the reverberation of the voices bouncing off nearby walls, and adjusted the volumes between the host and the guest.

After:
Sample 2:
UNNECESSARY WORDS, DIGITAL POPS, AND A PHONE RINGING:
In this brief sample of a podcast we repaired, we eliminated 3 problems:
1) The host said the word "the" two times in a row
2) Digital pops
3) Phone ringing

Sample 3:
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.

Sample 5:
HISS FROM AN AUDIO TRACK FOR A FILM:
A filmmaker sent us the audio track from a documentary film he was creating that had a lot of hiss in it. We removed the hiss but kept the breath noises in the audio track to preserve the emotion.

After:
Sample 6:
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.
Note: This phone interview was for a presentation. It was not secretly recorded. We don't work on secretly recorded material.

Sample 7:
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.

Sample 8
ADJUSTING UNEVEN VOLUME LEVELS, REMOVAL OF ROOM NOISE AND CELL PHONE PINGS
In the sample below, a customer sent us her weekly podcast that contained the usual verbal flubs and noise that happen when recording at home. We increased the volume, removed the room noise (mainly a furnace blowing air out a vent) and pings coming from her nearby cell phone.

CLEANING UP DIALOGUE AND ADDING MUSIC BACKGROUND FOR EMOTION
In the sample below, a customer sent us several audio clips of people doing in memoriam tributes to a person in their organization who died of cancer. The before sample contains just a few seconds of three of the audio clips sent to us. You'll hear hiss, pops and verbal flubs. We cleaned up the audio, removing the noise. We also added music to give the final presentation emotion.

REPAIRING THE AUDIO TRACK OF A VIDEO
A videographer shot a video interview that had quite a bit of noise. So he sent it to us to clean up. We started by removing clipping, then we checked the the left and right channels to make sure they didn't have any phase issues. After that, we removed crackle (mainly lip smacking), breath noise, hum and room noise from the audio track. We also dampened the reverberation caused by poor room acoustics. Oh yes, one more little trick up our sleeves. The word "of" in the phrase "of friends of the library's budget" was damaged. We repaired it by replacing it with another "of" from the recording and inserting it in the precise spot so the audio would sync up with the video.
