Ross's post-production workflow: (mixing, software, effects processing, editing, mastering, etc.)

• Record in MixPre-3 as wave file on SD card and edit in Screenflow
• Edit out any gaps, edit out the worst "ums" "and uhs" and occasionally a segment that detracts from the overall conversation
• Boost softer or lower louder areas to make overall volume more consistent
• Record into and outro
• Add music tracks
• Check volume levels again
• Export final mix as m4a
• Upload to Auphonic and use default settings
• Download mp3 from Auphonic
