Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about the minimum effective podcast editing approach. Remember we talked about making mistakes during recording? Our tip was to pause, click your fingers three times into the mic, then start again. Well, now you have a quick and easy way to spot anything that needs chopping out. Aside from that, you’ll want to “top and tail” your recording, cutting any preamble at the start and drawn-out goodbyes at the end. Then it’s the cleanup and volume levelling stuff which you can either learn to do in a DAW. Or, have Alitu take care of that for you, automatically. Piece together any segments, music, or other clips in your editing software or Alitu’s episode builder, and you’ll be ready to export and publish. Podcast editing doesn’t need to be a slog, especially with the right planning, processes, and tools at your disposal.
