# Podcast editing from raw recording to final master

Upload the raw podcast tracks. First, your producer gives you a paper edit: what stays, what moves, what goes, and why. After you approve the plan, she makes the cut, repairs the sound, mixes the tracks, and delivers measured WAV and MP3 masters.

## What you receive

- A transcript and color-coded paper edit in Google Docs.
- A cut plan with timestamps, reasons, and the resulting runtime.
- A dialogue edit based on the plan you approved.
- Repaired, balanced, and mixed speaker tracks.
- WAV and MP3 masters with loudness and mastering reports.

## The five stages

1. Check and align the tracks.
2. Transcribe the episode and check speaker assignments.
3. Review the paper edit in Google Docs and Slack.
4. Approve the dialogue edit.
5. Receive the measured master in your Google Drive.

There is no episode quota and no per-episode charge. You can keep more than one episode in production at the same time.

## Trial and price

A credit card is required to start the three-day trial. Nothing is charged during the first three days. Billing begins at $150 a week after the trial unless you cancel.
