As an audio engineer I would suggest you to use the limiter as the last plugin on your chain. You want to fix the issues before rising the levels. This will give you a much more natural results and better workflow. Because you might want to change the levels later and then you would have to need to dial everything again because the input signal has changed. Thanks for the episode!

I would 100% listen to "Odd Thoughts w/ Josh & Emily" 😂

Film riots been here for all of us throughout the years. So much respect 👊🏼

(Casually mentions he helped Roger Deakins.)

My biggest issue with these plugins, and slowly others as well is that they’re subscription based. Sure on paper spending $10 a month doesn’t seem all that bad, but when it’s then on top of all the other ones you’re needing to subscribe for it all adds up.

I would totally listen/watch full podcasts of Odd Thought w/ Josh & Emily! Please make this happen!

One additional note - when it comes to noise floor, this is why gain staging is so important. Recording the audio at a louder level will help get a cleaner and more natural sound, since you won't have to boost the signal and denoise so much.

Also, I've never used Accusonus plugins, but they seem to be a great and easy to use tool. I tend to gravitate towards user-friendly plugins too, bc sometimes I don't want to think, I want to create. So big thumbs up on "one knob" style of plugins. Great vid as always guys!

100% would listen to josh and emily just saying non sensical stuff for 2 hours😂

Dude, thank you and film riot so much for this. I've produced a few shows over the years and it always drives me nuts to listen to a podcast with great content, but not great processing. It makes it hard to listen to when in the car, or any less than perfect circumstances, and it just provides a barrier to entry for potential listeners when people don't process their sound.

I think a lot of people would be surprised how inexpensively you can get into podcasting and still sound great if you take the time to do some of this work. We just used a lot of the plugins built right into audition, but these look pretty solid too. And, if your podcast setup is pretty consistent, you can just save a preset effects rack and apply it to every show with a little tweaking here and there. As always, top notch stuff from the Film Riot Crew.

Notes from a lifelong radio DJ / producer:

Please please PLEASE do not use hard limiting as your first step! That only makes your other plugins work harder and will cause them to change things that you don't want to change. You can hear on the Mouth De-Clicker clip that the plugin is starting to affect the sibilance because it's trying to work on the high frequencies in peaks that it thinks are clicks but aren't. That's because higher frequencies tend to be louder (you can see that play out in any given waveform), so if you've hard-limited your audio right out of the gate, there are going to be more loud high-frequency peaks that the plugin thinks it needs to reduce. Instead, NORMALIZE your entire session to 0dB. That will give you a realistic noise floor and will cause your plugins to only do what they need to do and nothing more.

When it comes to plosives, processing should be your last resort. Here's a trick of the trade: talk ACROSS the microphone, not directly into it. You want to put the mic about two to six inches away (two for a dynamic mic, more for a condenser), off to the side, and pointed at a 45-degree angle toward your mouth. That will prevent most plosives from reaching the element. It won't eliminate ALL plosives, but it will make them softer and less frequent, leaving your processing with less work to do, which is always a good thing.

The FINAL step, after you've done everything else, should be LIGHT hard limiting. Your processed audio should be mostly level by then, and you should typically only need about a 3dB boost, with the fastest possible attack and the slowest possible release. Ideally, the mid-level peaks should be brought up to 0dB without pushing the loudest-level peaks too hard. Any more than that and you'll start running into listener fatigue, which is a very bad thing in aural programming, especially podcasting. We have two terms in radio that come from Arbitron's (now Nielsen's) ratings system: "cume" and "TSL." "Cume" is your cumulative listenership, or how many total people have listened during the ratings period. "TSL" is time spent listening, which is measured in 15-minute periods. In podcasting, we're all after high cume and a full episode worth of TSL. If you overprocess your audio, even by pressing your hard limiting too far, your TSL is going to drop like a rock, because people just can't put up with it for very long.

Long story short, audio processing is a useful tool that should make your audio come out sounding better than it did going in, but paradoxically, it sounds better when you use it less. You shouldn't have to rely on processing to clean things up, you just want to smooth things out a bit. Microphone placement and room treatment are the key to good audio, but I realize not everyone has a treated room at home (I don't), and not everyone knows how to properly address a microphone. Hopefully these tips help out.

Close your eyes and listen intently, Ryan is sounding more and more like Paul Giamatti . Great stuff as usual !

RobWatt

3:28 Filter -> Noise reduction-> DeNoise. Its even have same controls.
6:42 sound like droped base with standard EQ
10:50 Filter -> Amplitude and Compression -> DeEsser

this plug-ins just same tools but with different interface.

eternalstudent

Holy crap dude! This is exactly what I’ve needed!!! Been editing a new podcast and for the life of me I have not been able to get the different voices to my liking. Thank you so much! I am buying these plugins TODAY!!
