Question

Audition Podcast Template

There are quite a few posts on this board cautioning against undesirable effects when using the Podcast Template but I've yet to see a recent comment about it.

 

Just wondering-- is this Podcast Template still used with a word of caution or has anything been modified about it? Thoughts?

 

Looking for best sounding voice recording settings and I am a novice in audition (also using most recent update) so I imagined a template being much easier and way less complicated.


Thanks!

Nothing has changed about the podcast template - none of its settings, nor the advice about not using it!

The problem with any preset effects settings is that they only apply to the specific use case, and can't really be generalised - with the podcast templates a different voice and mic will leave you needing completely different settings. The ones they've chosen as basic settings in the podcast template are somewhat 'extreme' and even with good equipment, I can't really imagine them actually sounding good.

 

So for you there are no 'best' settings - well at least not until you've recorded your voice and adapted effects settings to suit it. And until you get used to what some of these effects do, and just as importantly what actually sounds good, you won't know. There are plenty of tutorial videos out there about this - just avoid the ones that tell you that there's only one good setting, because that's simply not true.

I see. Thank you, Steve.

So trial and error it is! I'll be back if anything comes up.
