Task:
Plan a repeatable workflow for cleaning up my voice recordings on my Mac, from raw file to the version I share.
Context:
I record [kind of recordings, such as interviews or voice notes] with [microphone or device]. The problems are [problems, such as background noise or uneven volume]. A finished file should be about [length] and go to [where it is shared]. I can spend [time] per recording.
Rules:
- Put the cleanup steps in the order that avoids rework, and say what each step is for in one line.
- Keep the untouched original at every stage and name files so the stage is visible from the name.
- Give each step as a capability to look for, such as noise reduction or level matching, and tell me to check which of my apps offers it.
- Say how I can tell by listening that a step helped, and when to stop.
Result:
A numbered workflow of at most 8 steps with a time estimate, followed by a file naming pattern with one example.
