The Bradcast: Engineered Thought from Brad Gibson -|Bradcast Extra: Using the Gigavox Levelator Episode
This edition of the Bradcast Extra is ONLY for podcasting geeks. If you are not interested in audio file processing then please do not listen to this podcast. You have been warned.
At the suggestion of Doug Kaye, I took 47 seconds of audio from our interview at the 2006 Podcasting and Portable Media Expo and processed it different ways. In this podcast you will hear the audio raw and unprocessed, processed with the Gigavox Levelator tool and processed by using several effects in Audacity. The Levelator processing took about 20 seconds total, while post-processing in Audacity took about 6-7 minutes. Which one is better?
Something to note about the Levelator is that it can exagerate noise level differences or "pumping" sound levels if the recording was made in a noisy environment with automatic gain control. Avoid automatic gain control when you are making recordings that you intend to post-process with any digital sound effects tool.
Thanks to Doug Kaye and the Gigavox team for the Levelator tool and their time on the floor at P&PME.
