Audio Editing

Walks you through the standard audio post-production chain in the right order: gain staging, noise reduction, compression, EQ, then limiting. Based on iZotope practices and industry standards. You get specific settings for voice work (like starting compression at -18 dB with a 3:1 ratio), platform targets (podcasts at -16 LUFS, YouTube at -14), and frequency ranges to cut or boost. Honestly most useful if you're cleaning up podcast or video audio yourself and need to know why noise reduction comes before compression, or what "muddy at 300 Hz" actually means in practice.

Methodology Foundation

Source: iZotope + Industry Best Practices

Core Principle: Audio processing must happen in the correct order—each step builds on the previous. "Noise reduction before compression prevents amplifying noise. Compression before EQ prevents undoing your level work." The goal is to serve the content, not showcase the processing.

Why This Matters: Poor audio editing is the most common reason otherwise good content sounds amateur. Understanding these fundamentals enables marketers to polish recordings themselves or effectively communicate with audio engineers.
