About this course

This course teaches the complete remote podcast-editing pipeline a paid editor runs for clients, from importing raw multitrack audio to delivering a leveled, normalized episode plus show notes. You will master named tools like Audacity, Reaper, Descript, and iZotope RX, and the loudness, noise-floor, and turnaround numbers that define professional work. By the end you can quote a three-tier package, scope a contract, and run a repeatable per-episode checklist.
