Advice? — Testing PODCAST EDITING side-hustle

Cool Workflows
1

Hey everyone,

I’ve decided to test a Podcast Editing side-business. I have some experience editing audio as a DJ and video editor. I’m starting to look in my network for free work to generate examples/testimonials and to develop my workflow.

As for apps - keeping costs low and using existing licenses: Ableton Live, Ferrite or GarageBand

QUESTIONS:

  • Do you have any tips / warnings / suggestions on workflows?

  • As a cross-dock for clients to upload/download files, I was thinking of paying for DROPBOX or GOOGLE DRIVE (any issues/preferences/thoughts on either?)

  • Besides the obvious audio editing, are there any additional services you recommend I consider offering?

Many thanks – I’m off to revisit all previous MPU podcast episodes!

There is a lot of advice in the 200th edition of the Upgrade podcast. The show notes contain links to all of the various suggestions/advice they give in the episode.

Remember Jason Snell doing a great video on editing podcasts on the iPad…

The @ismh and Myke Hurley’s Backstage podcast did a couple of episodes on podcast editing. It’s part of the Crossover feed for Relay FM members. Eps 142 and 144 in that feed.

Nice recommendation. Can’t find it though. Is it publicly available or members only?

Relay FM members only.

I use Brusfri to clean up the audio on the iPad. While you can run it as a plugin on Ferrite Pro, I like using it as a standalone. But your workflow may vary depending on how you edit since I mostly edit just a single track.

Apple Pencil is a huge help with editing on Ferrite Pro. As demonstrated by Jason Snell.

Since you mentioned you are a DJ, maybe opening theme for podcast?

That’s right! I forgot where I’d seen the Ferrite+pencil integration… I think it was here. Thanks @simonsmark

Fantastic reco, @ChrisUpchurch! I’ll definitely be looking at those.

Thanks @wiredfractal - I’ll look into Brushfri (hadn’t heard about it!).

That’s a great idea. I think I’ll keep that in mind if it comes up when talking with clients!

So good!
