Is This Thing On? How To Improve Your Podcast Audio 

 

Have you ever started listening to a podcast episode but turned it off because the audio quality was distracting? There’s nothing worse than wanting to listen to an interesting topic, but being physically unable to. Of course great content is key, but poor audio could keep your listeners from coming back. 

 

Achieving great audio quality isn’t just about eliminating background noise. It’s also about minimizing silence gaps, leveling out loud vs. quiet voices, and testing your equipment before even hitting record. 

 

Using the right headphones, a high quality microphone, and mixers will get you on the right track. But how far away should you be from the mic? How should you set decibel levels? This guide by Thinkific helps you fine-tune your recording setup for optimal podcast audio.
