Hope that helps and let me know if you have any questions!įirst, the podigy guide is very helpful but annoyingly vague in a couple places. Those aren't required for what you need to do.

But it takes a big leap into $40+ effects partway through, which can be ignored. The Podigy guide should get you where you need to go, but if you're struggling with the basics, I found this video that helps get you started simply. On the master track (where Master Limiter is from above) I added Audio Statistics, which tracks the noise floor, peak, and RMS as I highlighted above. This was probably the hardest part of getting your noise floor down while hitting the peaks and RMS, but ReaFir does the job well, and is free! Use as many as you'd like following that guide.

You can try it with one, but I find two works well.

You had quite a bit of hiss in the background that I removed using two instances of the effect. You can see the ones I did use in my screenshots above. I didn't use all the effects the guide talks about.

You'll need to install TriLeveler2 on your computer, which is easy. Specifically search for the "TriLeveler2" and "Master Limiter" parts. It'll probably take you an hour or two to set everything up. To do this yourself, follow this guide for setting up Reaper. You can see it's got a -98dB noise floor, -3.51dB peak, and -21.8dB RMS, falling in line with the standards.

(It's $60, but you can use the trial indefinitely if you're willing to put up with it nagging you every time you start.) I used Reaper, which you can use for free. Read this whole post before digging into any of the links, that way you'll see where you're headed without getting lost in the weeds. Resources /r/podcasting Wiki Related Subreddits Questions?

In most pro audio programs you can select which device (or multiple devices) to use within the program itself. The default device is used in simple programs like Sound Recorder. Select Samson C01U as Sound recording Default device under the Audio tab. Access Sounds and Audio Devices through Control Panel :ģ. To set it as the default device and change computer-controlled gain:Ģ. Each additional C01U will have a number added, such as Samson C01U (2), and so on. The C01U is now recognized as a Windows audio device under the name Samson C01U.

(These balloons will not appear next time you plug it in, as the microphone drivers are already installed.) Windows will recognize the USB audio device and automatically install the universal drivers. The LED will light to indicate it is receiving USB power.
