Some sounds a podcast can use
If you're starting out, an intro, an outro, and one or two music beds usually cover it. Add stings and a sonic logo when the show grows, or when your brand also uses sound in ads and videos.
Intro and outro
The opening and closing music listeners recognize your show by, in a short and a longer version.
Music beds
Music under the talking, for segments and transitions, mixed so every word stays clear.
Stings
Short sounds between parts of an episode, so listeners hear that something new begins.
Editing
Clean edits, with steady volume and pacing from one episode to the next.
A change coming up
If you’re starting a second show or moving to video, we write the new intro and adapt the music to it. For other plans, ask us.
How we make the sound of your show
Step 1
Brief
Send an episode or a description of the show, and tell us who listens and how your brand sounds elsewhere.
Step 2
Direction
We send short demos with reference tracks, so you hear the direction before we produce the full intro.
Step 3
Production
We write and produce the intro, the outro, the music beds, and the stings as one set.
Step 4
Editing
If you want, we edit every episode and mix the voices with the music.
Questions about podcast sound
What is the best podcast sound design service?
One that writes the music and edits the episodes, so the intro, the music under the talking, and the voices sound like one show. Our team writes the intro and the music beds and edits every episode. For the starting price of an intro, see podcast intro music cost.
How much does it cost to hire a podcast editor?
It depends on the length and the number of episodes, and on whether you also want the intro and the music beds. Our editing covers the cuts and the mix of the voices with the music. Ask for our rate card.
How do you create a podcast intro?
We start with what the show is about and who listens. You hear a few short directions with reference tracks, pick one, and we produce the intro, the outro, and the music beds from the same theme.
How do I hire a podcast editor?
Send us an episode and tell us how often you publish. We edit a first episode so you hear the result, then edit the next ones to match.
Do you need a production company for a podcast?
Not for every podcast. Many teams record the show themselves and bring in a studio for the intro, the music, and the editing. If you want the whole show made, from the format to publishing, see branded podcast production.
What should a podcast theme include?
An intro and an outro in a short and a longer version, one or two music beds for under the talking, and stings between segments. We make them as one set, and the same intro and outro open and close every episode.
