077: Podcast Basics: How I Normalize Podcast Audio with Auphonic

Ever clicked from one podcast to the next and had to scramble for the volume knob because the sound levels are wildly different? Kim breaks down her secret weapon for fixing that: Auphonic. She walks through what the tool does, from normalizing loudness to the correct negative 16 LUFS standard, to removing background hum, tinniness, and echo, to its newer video feature that lets her upload one file and get both polished audio and video back. She also shares her actual workflow, pairing Descript for a first editing pass with Auphonic for the second pass, plus the specific settings she uses (filtering, noise reduction, adaptive leveling, and loudness normalization), pricing details, and how metadata inside Auphonic can support podcast SEO.If your podcast audio has ever sounded too quiet, too loud, or just a little off compared to other shows, this episode explains the tool Kim credits for fixing that every time.Try Auphonic: https://kpcreativemedia.com/auphonicPodcast Production Course: https://go.kpcreativemedia.com/production-course
