Scott Wyden Kivowitz emphasizes the importance of editing techniques that can take your podcast to new heights. He suggests trimming unwanted silences and noise, and ensuring consistent audio levels by normalizing, splitting, and merging audio clips to create the desired effect. He also highlights the significance of adding effects and transitions to enhance the overall listening experience.
When it comes to enhancing audio quality, Scott recommends using EQ to adjust frequencies for improved clarity and balance. Compression can also be utilized to reduce the dynamic range, making the audio more consistent. Furthermore, he shares the benefits of using reverb to add a sense of space and noise reduction to eliminate unwanted background noise.
To make your podcast even more engaging, Scott suggests incorporating royalty-free or properly licensed music and sound effects. Music and effects should be used strategically, sparingly, and purposefully to enhance storytelling, set the mood, and create impact. Using these techniques, you can captivate your audience and leave them wanting more.
