Frequently asked questions
Can you remove distracting background noise?
Absolutely. While we stress reducing noise at the source for the best recording, we know that's not always possible. We use high end noise reduction, reverb reduction and audio restoration plug-ins, plus years of experience in audio, to remove as much as possible.
What's your turnaround time?
Our preferred minimum time is 48 hours, one day faster than the industry standard. If we have capacity we can return it sooner but always plan on 48 to be sure.
Do you have a contract or retainer?
No. We have an agreement that we sign to set expectations such as who owns the assets (You), turnaround time expectations etc. But there's no retainer or contract. You're free to adjust your package up or down at any time. You're never locked in with Podcast Boutique.
Do I have to use Descript?
No. But we strongly suggest you do. You can use it to do a first pass content edit (We do that for you if requested) to trim the conversation to only the most compelling content. It is also perfect for selecting content for reels, graphics or blogs. That being said if you don't want to use Descript, you can simply send us the files through Google Drive and we can happily edit and compile your show from those files. Here's a quick overview of Descript.
How do you handle communication?
We use Google Drive and Slack. You’ll have your own private Slack channel where you can communicate with the whole team directly (video, shownotes etc) to streamline your production and revision process. All files are shared through Descript or Google Drive. Each episode you simply click a link and fill out a quick custom form which gives us all we need to begin work.

Can you do my Social Media?
No. Social Media posting and strategy is an entirely different skill than media asset production. It involves understanding the analytics, A/B testing types of posts and monitoring activity. We would rather point you to an expert than try to be a jack of all trades going a subpar job.
