Many podcast editing services or podcast production companies will take your raw audio production which you likely figured out how to record on your own in the first place, hand it over to a podcast editor that likely taught themselves how to use a free digital audio workstation like GarageBand, and then ask them to meet a 24 hour turnaround time which means they have to dash through your episode and barely listen to it. You’ll likely get an episode back that is edited and assembled with your music and other episode elements and sound marginally better than what you sent to them in the first place. Emerald City Productions will first teach you how to record and make sure you have the right equipment for your voice and your specific recording location. And we will tweak how you record until we get the highest quality recording to start with. Your recording will then be passed on to your dedicated audio editor who works on your show each week. Your editor is a full-time professional audio engineer who usually has a background in music or radio production and has been personally trained in podcast production and audio editing by one of our experienced audio engineers. Our overall turnaround time is 4 – 5 days so our audio editors have at least 48 hours to work their magic on your episode. They use their experience in podcast production to make sensible and authentic choices as they edit. We then pass your episode onto a professional content copywriter who either listens to your episode or reads the transcript and crafts show notes that provide a synopsis, key points, and the resources you mentioned in the episode, in addition to any marketing copy included as part of your package. Then, your dedicated project manager creates, schedules, and publishes anything that is included as part of your package. Our Operations Manager oversees this entire team. You will not find another podcast production agency where you have at least 4 to 5 people paying attention to your episode every week.
