I made this quick tutorial for @ekads and anyone else who could use this knowledge to improve the quality ofyour audio.

TIPS: You may have to repeat the process to really eliminate persistent background noise.

    Grabbing a quiet gap for the noise profile first is the step everyone skips, and it is the one that makes the whole cleanup actually work.

    Grabbing a quiet gap to build the noise profile first is the step most people skip, nice clear walkthrough for anyone cleaning up a podcast.

    Wow.. Many thanks for the tutorial. I really appreciate it. Will try it at my next episode.

    That's pretty handy.

    For paid tools like Descript, they recommend leaving about 4 seconds of "silence" so the AI can do the same thing you're doing here.
