Using Multiple Compressors | Podigy Podcasting Tip of the Day

Get smoother sounding audio in your podcasts by using multiple compressors instead of just one. Whereas one compressor can squash your voice in order to get the volume you need, using multiples on different aspects (taming peaks, smoothing mids etc) can give your voice a much more natural sound that listeners will love.

Proper EQing can take a podcast to the next level, but it's not always about boosting the frequencies you want. Sometimes less is more. By removing frequencies that you don't want instead of boosting the ones you do, you can oftentimes get a smoother sound and potentially lower your noise floor.
