Audio Editing Services
We provide audio editing services to help you sound more professional.
Here’s What We Can Do For You:
- Cut out unwanted words and sounds like when a speaker says “um…” or “uh…”, coughs, beeps, etc.
- Remove unwanted silence in the beginning, end, or anywhere in between
- Remove parts of a conversation, such as unwanted words, sentences, or even whole topics
- Add music to your recording, such as an introduction and closing fade-in/fade-out, or low background music behind the person speaking
- Boost the volume of one or more speakers so they’re easier to hear
This is great for many types of audio recording projects. For instance:
- Recorded interviews – We all get nervous sometimes and sometimes that comes through in the recording. We can edit your recording to make things sound as smooth and polished as possible.
- Training/Sales Presentations – Maybe you did a live presentation and some parts of the presentation don’t apply to people listening to the replay. We can cut out parts you don’t want.
- Information Products – Use your recordings as a product to teach people how to do something.
We can prepare your recordings for whatever publishing method you want, such as:
- MP3 Download (or other popular file formats)
- Audio CDs
It is amazing what can be done to clean up audio and how big of a difference it can make. Done right, audio editing can make a recording sound much more professional. Let us show you how good you can sound!

What We Can’t Do For You:
Just a few notes on things we probably can’t help with. Sometimes we get recordings from people trying to do some detective work to use as evidence against someone. You probably need “forensic audio” services for that – like the stuff you see on TV. We primarily work with people using audio for business purposes. Also, if you’re using copyrighted music, make sure you have rights to use it.
Pricing
The hourly rate is $60, with a 30-minute minimum, meaning a $30 minimum for projects.
Just for clarity, that’s based on the time we spend editing, not on the length of the recording.
The amount of time can vary a lot, depending on how extensive of an edit you need, but obviously you need to have some idea of the cost, so we’ll give you a few guidelines.
For a really basic edit such as cutting off unwanted silence or noise at the beginning and/or end of a recording and mixing in music, usually it’ll only take about 30 minutes to an hour.
If you need a more extensive edit, where we go through the entire recording and cut out uh’s and um’s and other unwanted noises, or if we need to cut out sections, splice things together, etc., it’s going to take a lot longer. That type of editing is very tedious and time consuming, so allow about 4-6 hours of editing time for each hour of recording you have.
Prices are based on a 1-week turnaround time. Depending on our schedule, it could be quicker than that. If you need rush service (24-hour turnaround), add 50%. Rush service is subject to availability, so please Contact Us and let us know what you need and we’ll let you know what we can do.
