Checklist: Editing

Template

• As you edit, build a template containing your bumpers and various tracks set up the way you like them

• The template will commonly have tracks for the host(s), local guest(s), Skype/VoIP guests, music, and incidental audio (you won’t use all of them every time), all set up as you like

Prep

• Backup source: Archive source recording to .zip file

• Mono-ize: If mic sources were recorded as stereo files, convert them to mono

• De-clip (optional) if source appears to be clipped

  • Normalize to -3 dBFS, de-clip with -3.2 dBFS threshold

• Normalize VoIP tracks to -6 dBFS
