Shubh Saran
@shubhsaran
Senior Audio Engineer specializing in narrative podcast mixing and audio restoration.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Audio Engineer with 10+ years of experience engineering, mixing, and sound design for narrative podcasts and broadcast-quality audio. I shape sonic identity across long-form storytelling, advertisements, and promotional content, delivering polished mixes under tight production timelines.
I’m expert in Pro Tools and industry-standard restoration workflows, including iZotope RX, and I use restoration tools like de-noise, de-click, and de-plosive processing to clean and repair dialogue. I also balance high-quality capture in both studio and remote environments to keep audio fidelity consistent from source to master.
In recent podcast work, I’ve edited and mixed 70+ episodes, supporting creative direction, pacing, and narrative flow for a flagship comedy podcast. I’m a collaborative partner to hosts and producers, especially where fast-turnaround, high-volume delivery matters.
I also contribute end-to-end production value—maintaining organized session files and delivery-ready masters, advising on creative strategy and brand clarity, and improving recording quality by transitioning to broadcast-grade microphones. Whether it’s long-form episodes or short-form assets, I focus on operational efficiency without sacrificing sound.
