Glad to share other tips if anyone has any questions!
I asked above about recommended third-party plugins like Waves. Any that are particularly useful to podcasting or voiceover?
Hey Parker, the short answer is no, you don't need third-party plugins. Logic comes with a bunch of great plugins. The six I've used on almost every single project for the past three years are:
1. Speech Enhancer (it's a legacy noise removal plugin that works great for removing line noise and other low-level noises)
2. EQ
3. De-esser
4. Compressor
5. Adaptive Limiter
6. Loudness Meter (so you can check your loudness levels against the standard of -18 LUFS)
The only plugins I find myself using outside of the stock Logic plugins are from Iztope, the Dialogue Denoiser and De-Clipper from the RX Elements plugin pack, which you can get for $129 (it goes on sale occasionally if you want to wait and save a little bit of cash). https://www.izotope.com/en/...
