👉 Podcast engineering is the technical process that transforms raw audio recordings into high-quality, professional-sounding podcasts. It involves several key steps: capturing audio using microphones and recording devices, editing to remove unwanted noise, balance levels, and apply effects like EQ and compression; mixing to blend multiple audio tracks such as intro music, sound effects, and voiceovers; mastering to ensure consistent volume and stereo balance across various playback systems; and formatting the final audio files in appropriate formats for distribution. This comprehensive process requires a blend of technical skills, creativity, and attention to detail to deliver engaging and polished podcast content that resonates with listeners.
