not record-and-pray podcasting — finished episodes that earn the play button.
Send us the raw tracks. You get back edited, mixed, and mastered episodes — built for your show, billed per project, ready to publish the day you want them live.
The Slate Birch room in Fairfield — birch panels, a clean signal chain, and mastering to the −16 LUFS podcast loudness standard.
your voice did the work. don't let flat, fuzzy audio drop the listener before the first ad break.
A podcast lives and dies in the first thirty seconds. We make those seconds — and every one after — sound like you meant them. Keep momentum, keep listeners, keep showing up.
from raw file to release
four moves and you're live
You record. We do the rest. Here's exactly how a project runs once you hand off the audio.
01
drop your tracks
Upload your raw recordings — solo, remote, or full multitrack. New to it? We'll set up your mic, levels, and remote workflow so the next recording lands clean.
02
we shape the edit
Cuts for pace, ums and dead air gone, room noise stripped, tracks balanced. You hear a tight story, not a transcript read aloud.
03
mix, music & master
Sound design and your intro/outro beds sit under a mix mastered to −16 LUFS, so your episode is as loud and clear as the big shows in the feed.
04
you hit publish
Final files, chapter markers, and show notes arrive distribution-ready for Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. One review round is built in. Then it's your day to ship.
every episode is mixed by the same two ears — so week ten sounds like week one.
