1 Assess Needs

Before diving into the vast sea of podcast editing software, take a moment to assess your specific needs. Consider the complexity of your podcast; if you're planning a simple, straightforward show, you might not need all the bells and whistles that come with high-end software. On the other hand, if your vision includes multiple tracks, sound effects, and interviews, you'll require a more robust tool. Also, think about your technical comfort level and whether you'll need a software with a gentle learning curve.

If you are starting off, then, you don't want to overwhelm yourself or spend a lot of money. It'd be good to look at crowd-sourced software and one that is open source like Audacity.

It’s a good idea to start with a basic software like audacity that is free. Get familiar with it. Take a class on how to use it so your audio sounds great and build from there.

Starting with the right tools is important. It's better to invest a small amount of money from the beginning. Get the free Pro Tools Intro DAW, where you can record, edit, and mix your podcasts with quality sound. You will also need noise reduction and de-reverberation tools. Consider using Accentize Dx Revive, Waves Clarity Vx, and Waves Clarity Vx DeReverb plugins. As you progress, you'll need more detailed cleanup tools, and for that, iZotope RX is a must-have for editing and cleaning up audio.

Once you've outlined your needs, start by reading reviews from other podcasters. Reviews can provide insight into how intuitive a software is and what kind of learning curve you might expect. Look for feedback on the software's interface, ease of use, and customer support. Reviews often highlight any recurring issues users face, which can be invaluable in avoiding potential frustration. Remember, a program that's popular doesn't necessarily mean it's the best fit for you.

I usually started off by asking other audio editors, and sometimes, if you feel like you cannot ask someone near you, YouTube is great for reviews of certain audio software!

3 Trial Periods

Many podcast editing software options offer trial periods, allowing you to test their features without committing financially. Take advantage of these offers to get hands-on experience with the interface and tools. During the trial, pay attention to how quickly you can perform basic tasks like cutting, fading, and mixing tracks. A user-friendly software should feel intuitive and not require constant consultation of a manual or help forum.

If you do have access to any podcasters or even your favorite podcasters Q&A, ask how they started, what software, and was it enough? Or do you graduate from one software to another.

4 Community Input

Engaging with the podcasting community can also lead you to the most user-friendly editing software. Join online forums, social media groups, or local meetups where podcasters gather to share their experiences and tips. By asking for recommendations and discussing your specific needs, you'll gain insights from a variety of users who have firsthand experience with different software. This community input can be especially helpful in uncovering lesser-known gems that are easy to use.

5 Feature Set

While simplicity is key, you also want to ensure the software has all the necessary features to produce a quality podcast. Look for the ability to easily import and export various audio file formats, good quality effects and processing tools, and the capability for multi-track editing. Also consider if the software supports non-destructive editing, meaning you can revert changes without affecting the original recording. A good balance of power and simplicity is the hallmark of user-friendly software.

6 Support System

Lastly, consider the support system of the podcast editing software. Even the most intuitive platform may present challenges, and having access to a responsive support team or a comprehensive knowledge base can make all the difference. Check if there are tutorials, guides, or forums available to help you navigate any issues. A strong support system ensures that help is at hand, allowing you to focus on creating great content rather than troubleshooting software problems.

Mac users should consider Logic Pro. It just keeps getting better and better. The $200 price tag might seem steep, but Apple doesn’t make you pay for upgrades. The new mastering tool is pretty amazing for speech.
