Quality definitely shouldn't be the issue. The atrocious Audacity GUI is another story...
Wavelab Cast is made exactly for podcasting purposes, by the way, if you want to look into that. Although I'd just pay a few € more and get Wavelab Elements, which does everything Cast does, and more.
Better alternative than Audacity for dialogue ?

I am using Acon Digitals Acoustica Premium Edition. It has special tools for dialog treatment. There are sales some times which do make it more affordable…

Audacity is fine, but I've always found the workflow clunky as hell.
There are editors created especially for voiceover work that take plugins if needed and have special functions to chop audio at silences, add small fades, etc. and will handle a handful of separate tracks. Unfortunately, not my bailiwick, so I'll leave it to others to make suggestions.

I started on Logic 5 with a PowerBook G4 550Mhz. I now have a MacBook Air M1 and it's ~165x faster! So, why is my music not proportionally better?

Haven't found a workflow (Or editor) that is faster or more fluid that Studio One for voicework. Yes - as with all things that are worthy - there is a learning curve - but after watching others trying to hack their way through a voiceover in some other DAWS - it is truly painful to watch what some people go through just to get a decent voice clip ready for use.syntonica wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 2:11 pm Audacity is fine, but I've always found the workflow clunky as hell.
