Today I'm testing how to get audio good enough for an interview using Skype on my phone. Recording with Skype is easy. Capturing good audio quality recording...not so much...yet. My investigations continue. 

PRODUCTION NOTES

Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto)
I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.
