Dark Crime Podcast Audio Production

I’m bringing a new true-crime show to life and have the scripts ready; now I need an audio professional who can handle the full recording and post-production workflow. The help I’m after centres on Recording and editing audio, with a strong emphasis on adding music, sound effects, and dramatic pacing that keeps listeners on edge. Every cue, swell, and transition should reinforce a dark and suspenseful atmosphere without ever overpowering the narration.

Here’s how I envision the collaboration working:

• We book remote or studio sessions (your setup or an arranged location) to capture clean, broadcast-quality voice tracks.
• You take those raw takes, cut mistakes, tighten pacing and layer in moody underscore, spot effects, and tension-building risers.
• The final mix must be loudness-compliant for podcast platforms, delivered in 24-bit WAV plus a ready-to-publish MP3, along with music/SFX stems for any later tweaks.

Acceptance criteria:
– Voices sit clearly above the ambience, free of hiss or pops.
– Musical choices feel original (royalty-free or licensed) and match the dark, suspenseful brief.
– Peaks stay within ‑16 LUFS integrated, ‑1 dBTP max.
– Turnaround on each 30-40 min episode: 7 days or faster once files are in your hands.

If you thrive on crafting chilling sonic stories and have samples that show it, let’s talk details so we can launch the first episode.
