Is your podcast audio lacking clarity? Here’s a quick fix that will immediately improve your sound quality using basic EQ techniques. This approach works with any DAW, including Logic Pro X, Cubase, or Studio One.

Step 1: Identify the Problem

  • Listen for frequencies between 200–400Hz
  • Check if voices sound “boomy” or unclear
  • Note any room resonance issues

Step 2: Apply the Fix

  • Insert an EQ plugin on your voice track
  • Create a small cut around 250Hz (–2 to –4dB)
  • Add a slight boost at 4kHz for clarity
  • Fine-tune based on your voice

Pro Tip: “In my 20+ years of audio production, I’ve found that a wider Q factor around 250Hz works better for male voices, while female voices often benefit from a narrower cut.”
