The Broadcast Polish is a Simple but intentional Pass
Where podcast platforms’ “magic one-touch” buttons are convenient but unreliable, I offer a human-in-the-loop with experienced ears and pro software to replace burbly, ear-fatiguing automated fixes with a cleanup that tames offensive audio artifacts while sounding honest, allowing your listener to stay focused on your message.
(Up to 2 speakers; +$25 per additional speaker or source).
Includes: A careful, uniform pass of high-quality noise reduction (for steady hiss, hums, and buzzes) and taming of room resonance (reverb), plus individualized-per-source EQ balance, compression and sibilance control, plus loudness normalization to client specs.
This pass is remedial rather than restorative, focusing on general clarity and mitigating prominent interference over total noise elimination and achieving “That Radio Sound”.
Isolated noises (bumps, beeps, doors, barks) are cleaned up in the editing tiers. On its own, Broadcast Polish does not include them; they and moment-to-moment mixing are available under “Specialized Audio Engineering” below.

Mixing to Picture (Stereo & 5.1)
Full-service picture mixing for video, film, and episodic work, in any combination of:
Dialogue Editing
SFX Editing
Sound Design
Music Editing
My Platforms and Processes
Dialogue Rough Edit
I use Descript for preliminary editing work: Sectioning, re-ordering, filler word removal.
Fine Editing and Mixing
Pro Tools Ultimate is my platform of choice for…everything, really.
Cleanup and Restoration
I use tools from Izotope, Accentize, Steinberg, Acon Digital, Waves, and others.
Video
Often, picture has to lead the edit, even if your marquee product is audio.
I provide basic video assembly. I manage multicamera syncing in Premiere Pro and 'content-first' narrative picture cuts in Descript that are delivery-ready for downstream fine editing, titling, graphics, color, etc by your team - performing round-trips without breaking your sync or metadata.
For any full-service visual needs you might have, I can also facilitate a seamless handoff to my network of partners.
If you're interested in working together, complete the form with a few details about your project. We'll review your message and get back to you within 24 hours.
