23 Comments

What you do with your podcast audio files after you record is almost as important as the recording itself. *** Download my free Podcast Cheat Sheet:

You’ve recorded the audio file for your first podcast episode. Now what?

In this video, we talk about what happens AFTER you record your episode: exporting it into an MP3 file and tagging it with the correct ID3 tags.

I’ll guide you in how to pick the right output quality for your MP3 file, so you can strike the perfect balance between audio quality and file size.

We also talk about how to make your audio levels sound more consistent using a tool called Levelator.

This is the third in a series of 6 podcasting tutorial videos to help you get your podcast up and running, so make sure to watch the first 2 videos if you haven't already!

Hey there – I’ve uploaded my MP3 to Itunes after dragging it through levelator. Wondering why I don’t get “Podcast” as an option under genre. I picked Spoken Word and then selected the Options Tab and selected Podcast there. Do you know why I can’t see Podcast in the genre selection?

pat – if you make a video response with the previous video and the next video it will be easier for people to find and click – also this helps with your youtube ranks

Great video thanks for the tips. Levelator no longer functioning and the download doesn’t work, is there another program you use to adjust levels?

Tip for using Levelator: If you have Intro/Outro music, first edit and export only the vocal track without the Intro/Outro and put it through the Levelator. Then add the Intro/Outro music to the vocal track from the Levelator and export in your desired format. If you export with the Intro/Outro music and then put it through the Levelator it might distort the sound of the music. Hope this helps.
