Video & Podcast
You know exactly what your audio needs to sound like. The problem is that editing, mixing, and mastering inside Adobe Audition takes hours you don't have. Nacho's fractional specialists work directly in your project files, handling everything from noise reduction and multitrack mixing to final export and delivery. You stay focused on recording and publishing while we handle the production work in between.
What we do
Concrete work our fractional specialists take on inside your Adobe Audition account. No vague promises.
We set up reusable multitrack session templates in Adobe Audition matched to your specific show or video format, including track layouts, bus routing, clip gain staging, and effects rack presets. This means every new episode or project starts from a consistent baseline instead of being built from scratch. Clients get faster turnaround and a more consistent final product across episodes.
We work through your raw WAV or MP3 files in the Waveform Editor, removing filler words, long pauses, mic bumps, and background noise using Audition's spectral frequency display and the Noise Reduction effect. We also apply DeEssing, EQ, and compression through the Effects Rack to bring vocals into a broadcast-ready range. The deliverable is a final stereo mix exported to your specified format and loudness target, typically -16 LUFS for podcasts or -14 LUFS for YouTube.
We build out and document your standard effects chain inside the Effects Rack, including EQ, compression, limiting, and any third-party VST plugins you use, and save it as a named preset so it can be applied consistently across all sessions. If your sound changes between episodes because different editors apply settings differently, this solves that problem. We also update the preset when your mix standards change.
Using Audition's Spectral Frequency Display, we identify and surgically remove clicks, hums, room reverb, and clipping artifacts that would otherwise require a re-record. For persistent background noise, we use the Noise Reduction and Sound Remover effects to capture a noise print and reduce it across the entire file. This is especially useful for field recordings, remote guest tracks, or older archival audio that needs to be repurposed.
We assemble your multitrack session into a final stereo mix, add intro and outro music at calibrated levels, and embed ID3 metadata including episode title, description, author, and artwork before export. For podcast workflows, we also add chapter markers compatible with Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podlove. The exported file is named and organized according to your folder structure and is ready to upload directly to your hosting platform.
If your project folder is full of unnamed sessions, missing linked files, or inconsistent export naming, we audit your existing library and restructure it according to a documented file organization system. We re-link any missing media using Audition's media browser, consolidate project assets, and create a naming convention guide your team can follow going forward. This is often the first task we complete during onboarding for clients who have been self-producing for a while.
The handoff
During onboarding, your dedicated Client Success Manager reviews your existing Adobe Audition setup, including your current session structure, export settings, effects chain, and file organization, and documents what is working and what needs to be built or fixed. From that audit, we create a Strategic Delegation Plan that prioritizes the highest-impact tasks first, whether that is setting up templates, clearing a backlog of unedited episodes, or establishing a consistent weekly production workflow. Your specialist works inside your actual project files and delivery folders, not a separate environment, so you retain full ownership of everything at all times. Each completed task or batch is delivered with a short summary of what was done and why, so you always know the state of your audio production without having to ask.
Use cases
A few of the most common workflows our team has deployed with Adobe Audition.
We receive raw tracks from your recording platform (Riverside, Zencastr, or SquadCast) via shared Dropbox or Google Drive, import them into a multitrack session in Adobe Audition, apply your standard effects chain, edit for pacing and content, and export a final stereo mix to your delivery folder. The client reviews the file and approves before it moves to the podcast host.
We edit and mix voiceover or narration audio in Adobe Audition, then send the session or exported file directly to a Premiere Pro project using the Send to Premiere Pro roundtrip workflow. This keeps audio editing in Audition's purpose-built environment while maintaining sync with the video timeline, avoiding the need to re-import or manually line up audio after edits.
For clients publishing on a fixed schedule, we process a batch of episodes each week, editing, mixing, tagging with metadata, and exporting each file to a Dropbox folder organized by publish date. We then upload the finished files to your podcast host (Buzzsprout, Libsyn, or Captivate) and draft episode descriptions using your approved template, leaving only the publish action for the client.
We take older recordings, webinar audio, or previously published episodes and run them through Audition's noise reduction, EQ, and loudness normalization workflow to bring them up to current production standards. The restored files are exported and organized for use in new episodes, course content, or audiogram clips, with a notes document describing what was corrected in each file.
We pull selected quote segments from a finished episode, clean and level-match the audio in Adobe Audition, and export short clips (typically 60 to 90 seconds) formatted to your social media spec. These clips are handed off to your video editor or uploaded directly to a tool like Headliner or Descript for waveform animation, depending on your existing workflow.
