That is a great idea! What form do you envision it's in? Video/Article or some kind of an interactive thing? What topics do you think are the most important to present this way? BTW, here's an article specifically about recording and processing Voice: https://indiscipline.github.io/post/voice-sound-reference/ https://indiscipline.github.io/post/voice-sound-reference/ There's some examples in the part on denoising. Tell me if it's something you had in mind, and if not, in what ways it's not good enough.

My personal preference would be an article or both article + video; reading can be faster. Doing something interactive might mean audio processing in the browser, that's a big ask. I don't have enough experience to know what the most important topics / common issues would be, sorry. The NPR link below covers a lot of ground relevant to their reporters; podcasters might have a subset of those issues. You entered this discussion due to its focus on music production which has its own priorities. The denoising example you provided is a step toward I was looking for. I think showing the waveform at each step would be an improvement, like at https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/tap005-my-secret-audacity-recipe-for-great-audio https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/tap005-my-secret-audacity-r... and https://training.npr.org/2017/01/31/the-ear-training-guide-for-audio-producers/#mixing https://training.npr.org/2017/01/31/the-ear-training-guide-f... I think the example shows one step in the process but it could be fleshed out starting with the raw recording and documenting each step in turn (adjustments done including specific software settings along with audio clip + waveform at that current step) plus the rationale and potential gotchas to watch out for. PS. My notes recommend Noise Removal > Compressor > Normalize in that order but I can't remember where that recommendation came from. I will have to try putting Noise Removal last.

  Thanks for the valuable feedback. Re your PS: It all depends on your particular gain-staging. In this chain of 3 elements, you NR probably can go first or second, and less likely last. My suggestion of not putting it first is caused by adhering to conservative input levels, in which case the signal is pretty low during the first stages of the chain and may be processed too eagerly by Noise Reduction.
