These are foundational components for grabbing the interest of the online world.
Why does anyone need video editing services ?
Let’s consider a few questions…
- How will the videos you create stand out from the rest?
- How can you ensure that the videos you create will contribute positively to your (or your businesses’) online identity?
- How will you know that your videos will look and sound consistent across devices/platforms? And remain consistent from one video to the next?
One answer: proper video and audio editing.
There are innumerable apps and software that are widely available and simple enough for anyone to use. However, video and audio editing is not only time-consuming (so why not outsource this task) but, more importantly, it can be tricky to create consistent, high-quality content with basic apps and software. This may leave you in a position where you are creating amazing content, but you are not posting consistently, or, the audience cannot see or hear you well, causing them to swipe past you or forget about you.

Audio Editing Services
What does “audio editing” mean exactly?
Ever notice different levels of loudness within a video, such as from one transition to another? Or maybe a video where the person is speaking but all you can hear is background noise?
Even if the video is quite basic, our voice follows a natural rise and fall, which can sound inconsistent when we hear the playback. When the audio sounds inconsistent, this makes it nearly impossible to focus on the speaker. These are just a few examples of why the audio component of your video needs to be edited.
Clear, consistent audio that sounds good across platforms and devices is the key to capturing your audience’s interest and focus.
Podcast Editing Services
As of 2021, there exists over 850,000 active podcasts (up from 700,00 in 2020). In North America, nearly 40% of Americans report listening to podcasts regularly*.
This tells us two things:
1. The market for podcasts is growing, but not saturated.
And,
2. Podcasts are becoming more integrated into the way North Americans obtain knowledge and information.
So, seems like a good time to strike. Right?
If you are interested in starting a new podcast, or need help with an existing one, consistency in audio quality should be your main concern. People listen to podcasts on their headphones, smart home devices, in their cars and other sound systems. This means the audio has to sound perfect through a range of devices and (maybe not the best) sound systems.
Have you ever had the experience where you can hear something perfectly through your headphones but not on the sound system in your car? This is an example of subpar (or lack of) audio editing.
With backgrounds in music and audio engineering, we appreciate the importance of consistent, clear audio no matter what the device. You can trust ZSA Virtual Solutions to edit your podcast and deliver a fantastic user experience.

Mixing and Mastering Services
Are you a musician, singer or songwriter recording music at home but have no idea how to put it all together?
What you are looking for is mixing and mastering services to complete your work of art.
Mixing in itself is a very technical and complex job. Mixing involves processes such as editing, adjusting pitch and time, manipulating fades, tweaking track levels, and applying automation for these adjustments to occur in real-time during playback. Then, mastering involves processing the mix into its final form so that it’s ready for distribution (i.e. ready for your audience!)
With backgrounds in music and audio engineering, our team here at ZSA Virtual Solutions provides online mixing and mastering services consistent with industry standards for amateur musicians.
We operate under the premise that each business is unique and deserves to be treated as such. We offer hourly rates and larger/ongoing projects are priced on a case by case basis. Pay only for what you need, nothing extra.
