  1. 1Recording a Voice You Won't Have to RescuePick a mic, set the distance, tame the room with blankets, and set your gain so the recording peaks around -12 dBFS at 48 kHz, 24-bit.14 min
  2. 2Noise: Avoid It, Then Reduce It CarefullyTell hum, hiss, rumble and room tone apart, fix what you can at the source, and use SoundStudio's noise tools without leaving the voice watery.13 min
  3. 3Editing Speech Without Making It RoboticCut on breaths and hard consonants, keep joins click-free with fades, remove ums and false starts selectively, and handle breaths with a light touch.15 min
  4. 4EQ and Compression on a VoiceHigh-pass at 80 Hz, find and cut mud at 200 to 400 Hz, add a little presence at 3 to 5 kHz, tame S sounds, then compress with numbers you understand.16 min
  5. 5Music Beds and Ducking With Volume PinsPut voice and music on tracks, duck the bed 10 to 18 dB under the voice with Volume Pins, set ramps that sound natural, and fade in and out cleanly.15 min
  6. 6Repairs: Clicks, Clipping and PlosivesFind and fix mouth clicks and digital glitches, rebuild flat-topped clipped peaks, and soften plosive thumps without dulling the whole track.13 min
  7. 7Loudness and DeliveryHit the right loudness for where the audio is going (podcast, streaming, broadcast), keep true peak under the limit, pick the right file format, and batch the job with StudioConverter.16 min
