HOLIDAY DATES
GAP & CLAP!
Marking Your Mistakes
We all make mistakes during recording. Here's how to ensure they are fixed.
Lots of things might happen during recording that you want to remove, for example...
The Doorbell Rings
Bathroom Break
Question Redo
If something like this happens, here's what to do...
Step 1: Pause in silence for at least 10 seconds
Step 2: Clap your hands once
Why do I need to do this?
During the editing process I will actively be looking for mistakes and any opportunities to tighten up the audio for you. However I don't manually listen through every single second of the podcast. So marking your mistakes with a gap and clap ensures that nothing slips through the net.
Example 1: Clear 10 second gap and clap
Mistakes clearly visible. Any edits will be spotted and fixed seamlessly.
Example 2: No gap or clap
Mistakes may not be spotted.
Example 3: Clap, but no 10 second gap
Mistakes may not be spotted.
