Audio Editing level options - 3 options to choose from: Professional-level, Basic-level, or something in-between

Important - Please note: if your audio is of questionable sound quality, we'll clean up a small sample and have you review and approve it before proceeding any further.

The pricing below includes my time to email or send you the finished files via SendThisFile.

*Need to stay within a monthly budget? Here's an idea - we can work as a team to get your audios edited. You tell me to only spend x number of hours on something, or do "light" editing. I can get it to a point and you can finish with some final editing. Remember, I'm here to help you. Use me to whatever extent is affordable for you.

**Need to go as economical as possible with your very short audio files?

We remove background noise, level out the sound (so everyone can be heard - very important on teleconference recordings with multiple participants), remove all stuttering, ums, ahs, repeated words and phrases, to create a streamlined audio product. These Professional-level editing services cost $40/hr. with a 15 minute minimum. Includes ID3 tags. Multi-segment podcasts/audios take longer to put together.

A one to three person audio recording usually takes approximately 4 times the length of the raw recording. For example, if you have a 20 minute recording, it will take approximately 1 hour 20 minutes to edit it, including mixing it with music, or $54.

For recordings with more than 3 people, the editing time increases to a minimum of 4-5 times* the length of the raw recording. A 1 hour recording with 4 or more people will normally take 4-5 hours to edit, including mixing music, or $160 - $200. *unless it's already very clean of mistakes.

This level of editing is recommended for businesses that want to have as clean a product as possible, especially if you will be selling them.

Note: Noise happening in the background of your audio at the same time you are talking, such as: paper shuffling, dog barking, phone ringing, other person talking, or a car horn, cannot be removed. If it happens when there is no talking, this can and will be removed. It's best to record your audio in a quiet place, or pause the recording, get your bearings, and start recording again, but start from the content you know that was interrupted. Then we'll take out the bad section and you'll never know it was there.

If you're recording and you want me to cut out a section, simply say something like this during the recording, "Andrea, I want to cut that part out and start again from here". Some people say "stop tape" and "start tape" as they are recording to indicate the section they want removed and replaced with what's coming up. Feel free to communicate what you want during the recording, almost like dictating some instructions mixed in with what will be kept.

Also note that podcasts using a phone call-in line may not be as clear as if you recorded using recording software on your computer, and can sometimes result in lots of pops and clicks that are extremely difficult to remove or diminish.

For clearer-sounding audio there are several free products for recording on your computer using a mic, speakers, or headset for both the PC and the Mac (WavePad - PC, Audacity - PC and Mac, and Garageband - Mac, which sometimes comes free with your Mac.

Great for budget-minded folks with large audio files, we offer Basic Editing services, which simply includes creating a starting and ending point for the audio, removing background noise (a hiss or hum), leveling out the sound, mixing in music, and adding ID3 tags. We do not edit any of the content (ums, ahs, deep breaths, etc.), and which means I'm not listening to the audio at all other than to see if any hiss or hum is gone. This is a standard $20 fee, regardless of the length of the audio. Multi-segment podcasts/audios take longer to put together and cannot be done under Basic-level Audio Editing.
