Once upon a time ago (and a time, and a time), I had a podcast. I miss podcasting dearly and think about going back often — otherwise, what am I to do with a partial, flawed understanding of normalizing to a target loudness and editing around the disgusting noises my mouth makes? Well, share it with others, of course.[^1] Once upon a time ago (and a time, and a time), I had a podcast.

In case it was not clear, I am not a professional. I am a blockhead who likes to tinker and who has watched a lot of YouTube videos. These are the FX chains I use for my voice, which may or may not be helpful to other people who do not have my voice. This is not an exhaustive audio guide or overview of *how* I edit my audio. Maybe another time. In case it was not clear, I am not a professional. I am a blockhead who likes to tinker and who has watched a lot of YouTube videos.

Currently, I use a RØDE Procaster as my microphone and a MOTU M2 as my interface. I have a Fethead between the two because otherwise people complain I am too quiet on Discord. I bought a pop filter designed for the RØDE Podmic; it fits on my Procaster and works, but it looks a little ridiculous, so sometimes I take it off. I paid several hundred dollars for this setup so that I can capture my two dollar voice with fidelity. Currently, I use a RØDE Procaster as my microphone and a MOTU M2 as my interface.

Back when I was podcasting with a co-host over long distances, I swore by [Ennuicaster](https://ecastr.com/) for recording because I admired the creator's pedantic approach to audio and hostility toward their end user.[^2] Ennuicaster is clunky and temperamental, but the pricing model is fair and the audio it spits out is top-notch. It is also the only recording application that I know of with a prominently featured weasel mascot. If I'm recording just myself, or something in person, I record straight into [Reaper](https://www.reaper.fm/), which I also use to edit.
