Workflow

  1. Clean the source (trim, remove long silences)
  2. Enhance for clarity and balance
  3. Export a master file
  4. Create smaller versions only after the master is verified

Practical settings

  • Reduce noise gently before boosting volume
  • Avoid extreme EQ changes in one step
  • Monitor peaks to avoid clipping

Common issues and fixes

  • Harsh sibilance: reduce high frequencies slightly
  • Room noise: use light noise reduction and re-check clarity
  • Inconsistent levels: normalize then re-check peaks

QA checklist

  • Listen to first 10 seconds and a random middle section
  • Check volume consistency across sections
  • Confirm export format and naming
