Magic Mastering is able to tell the difference between normal speech and music in your podcast episode, but it will apply normalization and compression effects to the music in an effort to help it fit seamlessly with the rest of your podcast. Try Magic Mastering on your next episode, and if you don't like what it does to your music you can turn MM off and reupload the file.
Hi, TGun's Adventures! If you're using Auphonic to get the correct loudness, true-peak, adaptive leveling for your audio, and for noise/hum reduction - then Magic Mastering can serve as a suitable replacement. However, if you are using Auphonic for one of its many other capabilities (intro/outro, speech recognition, etc.), you'll want to continue with your existing workflow. Hope this helps!
Nope! We would recommend that you use either Auphonic or Magic Mastering. You won't need to use both. If you have any other questions shoot us an email and we can help! support@buzzsprout.com
It depends on how far off the recording is. If your volume is too quiet to edit with, normalizing the track will help you immensely. But if your audio is pretty good already, then Magic Mastering will polish it up without the need to normalize your tracks in your editing software
Thank you for putting out such super helpful content! I do the editing for a podcast called Made of Miller. Since the hosts are in different locations, they record in Zoom. Even with Original Sound turned on, there is still some sound cancellation that happens if they are talking at the same time (which happens often). This is unnecessary and undesirable, since they use headphones. Can you recommend a better solution for recording when they are all in different locations?
Hi Peter, glad it helps. Anyways, here are the links regarding long-distance recording: Hope it helps. 😊 ua-cam.com/video/poPNtONw_Kk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/3kz_ntNz8ys/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/HH37iHiXUhY/v-deo.html
Unfortunately not, though if your microphone is picking up your breaths in a prominent way try reducing the Gain of your microphone or pulling back a couple of finger widths to reduce breaths in your recording

Thank you for this video and for Magic Mastering! I have used this on several episodes of my podcast now and it is worth every cent to me!
Awesome, thank you for this. I was really wondering about this. So far, I think the magic mastering feature is really good.
Travis, you are a blessing!
Thank you so much for the appreciation and support, Beata!
Good to know. When there is theme music attached, does the magic mastering do any damage or compression to it?
It did for me, that's why I removed Magic Mastering. Is there a way for it not to happen?

So we wont need to use auphonic if we decide to use magic mastering now?
That's correct. If you start using Magic Mastering you no longer need to run your podcast episodes through Auphonic
Can this be used in place of auphonic? Or, should I still use auphonic?

What about mouth clicks and de-essing? Thanks
Those are things you'll still want to fix before running your episode through Magic Mastering
Do I need to record in Audacity and then run through Auphonic before uploading to Buzzsprout using MM?

Hi Buzzsprout, I’m new to podcasting. I use audacity, should I still normalise my track? Then upload into buzz for magic masteting?
Thank you, gez

So my expensive compressor, limiter, and normalizer plugins are no longer needed, damn!!!
Can Magic Mastering edit out breaths?

Sounds like we should magic master it ourselves before its magic mastered.
It adds all these weird clicks for me smh
