Get Ride of That Annoying Room Reverb with De Verberate 2
You have a guest show up who is in a room made of glass using a blue yeti microphone setup to pick up in every direction. You either tell the person to come back when they understand this is a podcast and not a zoom meeting or you bite the bullet and light your time on fire spending the next half a day trying to clean up their file.

Heartbeat Community Tool. Courses, Events and More
One way to know what your audience wants is to create a community. While there are free tools like Facebook, you don't own your community in Facebook.

What Do I Do With Old Podcast Gear?
One of your fears when you start podcasting is, what if you change your mind? What do I do with my gear? I recently cleared out a closet and found tons of stuff I had bought over the years that were sitting there depreciating, so I have decided to list it on Sweetwater.com's used gear section called "Gear Exchange."In the same way that eBay charges a fee, so does Sweetwater. From their website, "Gear Exchange transactions have a 2.5% transaction fee and a 5% seller fee.When y
