Editing is not one job. A business podcast with three executives on camera, a solo coach recording in a hotel room, and a YouTube interview show that lives or dies on retention all need different decisions from the same editor.
BadMic Studio has cut 500+ episodes for 50+ creators since 2018. These are the five audiences the workflow was built around — and what each one actually needs.
Video podcasters
Multi-camera conversations where the cut has to carry the rhythm of the talk. What that means in practice: every angle synced, punch-ins timed to lines rather than to a metronome, lower thirds and chapters in place, and a 16:9 master plus vertical shorts cut from the same timeline.
- Multicam sync and story-first cutting
- Colour balance and cleanup across cameras
- Chapters, thumbnails and 9:16 shorts
Business podcasts
Shows that represent a brand, where a bad mic on one guest reads as a bad company. The priority is consistency: every episode matching the last one in level, tone and structure, delivered on a fixed day so internal communications can plan around it.
- Consistent loudness and tone across all speakers
- Intro/outro, branded lower thirds and title cards
- Scheduled weekly delivery your team can rely on
Coaches and consultants
Your podcast is a lead source, so it has to sound like the person clients meet on a call. Clean dialogue, tight pacing, no rambling intros — and shorts that can travel, because most of your audience will meet you vertically first.
- Vocal cleanup for home and remote recordings
- Pacing edits that keep the promise of the title
- Repurposed clips for LinkedIn, Reels and Shorts
YouTube interview shows
Retention is the whole game. That means cold opens instead of long greetings, cuts on the interesting answer, visual change at least every few seconds where the footage allows, and packaging — titles, chapters and thumbnails — treated as part of the edit rather than an afterthought.
- Retention-driven structure and cold opens
- Visual pacing, b-roll and captions
- Chaptering and packaging for search
Remote and multi-guest productions
Four guests, three time zones, six microphone setups — and at least one recording that arrived with room echo. This is where audio repair earns its keep: spectral cleanup, dialogue isolation and level matching so the conversation sounds like it happened in one room.
- Zoom, Riverside and phone recording repair
- Speaker level matching and de-reverb
- Sync across separate audio and camera tracks

“I've been working with Alex for over three years now and having him as my editor for the podcast has been the main reason I have managed to record and publish over 100 episodes on my podcast.” — Benny, Via Stoica
FAQ
Do you only work with certain niches?
No. The five groups on this page are who the workflow is built for, not a filter. If your show is audio-first, video-first or both, the same pipeline applies — the brief is what changes.
How fast can you turn an episode around?
Standard delivery is 3–5 working days for a full episode, with priority 48h turnaround on the Complete Show & Repurpose package. Shorts and reels usually follow 24–48 hours after the main cut is approved.
Can you start with a single episode?
Yes. Audio Master is sold per episode, so you can test the workflow on one show before committing to a monthly package.
