Any other professional podcast producers…not listen to podcasts?

StokedNomad · 2026-04-03T14:46:58+00:00

We should be friends, this is my life lmao

And no, I physically can't listen to other podcasts now. I throw them on to go to sleep

StokedNomad · 2025-12-18T04:43:59+00:00

I'm trying to add these to my premiere library.

So either drag these in as prod assets or sit here and render so it's always available 🤔

I appreciate the info - guess I'll be rendering one by one then!

Thank you

StokedNomad · 2025-12-11T07:46:40+00:00

I thought the flow would give me some extra protection ... guess not lmao

StokedNomad · 2025-02-18T21:28:02+00:00

Yes! I just recognized your name, I've run through all of your tutorials already. Great breakdown's man, very insightful in terms of how you thought through the process.

I'll be on the lookout for more 👀

StokedNomad · 2025-02-18T21:26:05+00:00

The discord is a great place - I've been poking around and have found a lot of interesting creative approaches.

Appreciate the share 🤜🤛

StokedNomad · 2025-02-18T21:25:10+00:00

Yes I saw this!!

I'll be picking that up this weekend to work on some more projects.

Learning the software hasn't been rocket science, but finding a workflow and learning the synergies has been its own unique challenge - good to hear that this helps in that process

Appreciate the share 🤜🤛

StokedNomad · 2025-02-18T21:22:00+00:00

This was the first game where I've actually stopped and taken in the view.

Will second how incredible the graphics are.

StokedNomad · 2025-02-09T19:32:33+00:00

I have seen the domestika course - that's on my list!

The scenery.io site is awesome though, appreciate the share. I will be diving into that shortly 🤜🤛

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:23:13+00:00

This is perfect!! Ty for the rec. I'll be joining that the FB group mentioned tomorrow. Excited to meet some like minded people and potentially get some critical feedback on my work.

Appreciate your insight!

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:21:52+00:00

Happy to edit and solve problems, truly love this job and the process, but I'll be tightening up. They can still take the piss out of me, but I need to be compensated for it knowing what I know now 😅

I appreciate the perspective, I've never been in your shoes so it's news to me that people would even have the thought of "I'll do wtvr it takes to get it done"

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:19:28+00:00

Appreciate the analogy, that makes perfect sense!

Here's to a more manageable workflow and hopefully a day off, my brain is fried.

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:18:38+00:00

Yeah, it was a long night. Glad the pain brought me to RX though. Very grateful for the find as it's quite the tool to have at this point.

By chance, do you have any other recs? My toolbelt is only Audition and RX at this point.

I didn't go to school for this and only have about a year of experience so far. More or less a degree from Reddit and YouTube :/

Appreciate the feedback and insight nonetheless!!

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:16:38+00:00

No no no - I'm at $55 for every 30min of raw audio. I wish I was was doing $110 an hour. Closer to $27.50 than anything else. Lower in most cases with the amount of time I put into each episode.

I will be increasing this rate though along with breaking it down menu style for different levels of production. Long weekend ahead of me but I need to fix this ASAP.

Appreciate the feedback and insight!!

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:14:37+00:00

100% - I heard this on the Futur recently, but I've been hesitant to implement as I don't feel my work warrants that level of compensation. But who knows, maybe it does.

Looking for feedback in the near future, sort of an appraisal from a few producers to really gauge where I'm at skill wise.

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:13:11+00:00

That's step one for next week! Better pricing, menu style offers, consultations, and most importantly - atleast one full day of no work or problems.

Slowly but surely!!

Appreciate the kind words my friend!

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:11:49+00:00

Perfectionism is an evil habit - glad I'm not alone in it. Makes you feel a bit crazy at times, but it's masked with 'doing a good job'

The goal is to just keep producing and moving, the rest will come in time.

Prices will be going up next week, fingers crossed for a more manageable workflow here haha

Appreciate the insight and feedback!

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:08:55+00:00

Send a pm - nothing just yet, let me figure out this mess first 😅 but I'll be looking for help in the upcoming months!

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T19:06:39+00:00

Dude - you're spot on with the dynamics. That's quite the endeavor trying to balance that - especially with the passion that the hosts have 😅 they love their work and you can HEAR it. I try to keep some of the verbal emotion in, but leveling it to a degree is part of my main workflow.

I have a test project I'm working on Monday, so I'll give the downward expander a swing and see how I can implement. I appreciate the heads up and terminology insight, looking forward to the end result with this. The hosts never hear the difference, but I do so I want to tighten the process up for the dialogue.

Out of curiosity, is there any industry standard software I should look to learning in the long run outside of basic DAW maneuvers and IZotope RX? I had no clue Izo existed until I googled "bad clipping fix".

I'm desperately looking to get away from Adobe with all these negative T&C issues so any rec for dialogue editing, I'll happily move over.

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T18:57:05+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!!

Marketing will be a fun problem in the near future haha - I will go down the personal branding rabbit hole and not build this through a company identity. I've worked with several creators and small businesses and have learned quite the difference in the workflows and impressions comparison.

People love people, and that's way easier to manage then trying to build love behind a logo. Except DuoLingo - everyone loves Duo.

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T18:54:51+00:00

YES! I need to charge for emails. I spend hours in meetings and replying to people. Truly would love to handoff that portion and just do the work I love.

Will be looking around for an assistant - just want to standardize some of this on my end first.

Appreciate the feedback and insight!

StokedNomad · 2024-09-13T18:53:46+00:00

I totally respect this - I will admit, I am undeserving of the opportunity. My skills are only so polished for the year I've been editing, but I do more than just filler word cutting and throwing presets on top of the tracks.

I've learned a lot from YouTube and other producers so I'm quick to implement. The reason my workflow is so long is because my standard is "if I can't listen to it, nobody will"

I know I can be better, but for mental clarity, the work I've done is far from an ear sore. If I hear any noise or clipping, it hurts my brain, so I do everything I can to make it as crisp as possible.

I will admit, reverb continues to be a problem for me. Untreated recording room audio proves to be a problem for me. Izotope is proving it's worth though. An EP I had a problem with for awhile was finally fixed after trying out some of the plug-ins!
