Editorial policy, standards, and corrections

Last updated July 17, 2026

StudioRescue publishes practical guides for people fixing real audio problems at home: vocals, REAPER workflows, audio repair, podcast voice, and mixing. This page explains how we work and how to hold us to it.

Who writes StudioRescue

Articles are published under the StudioRescue Editorial byline. StudioRescue makes REAPER vocal tools for home producers, and the editorial team behind the site is the same team that builds those tools.

How articles are made

Our articles are researched and drafted using automated tools and then checked against the cited sources before publication. We do not claim that a human line-edited every article. What we do commit to is this: every factual claim is checked against a real source, technical advice reflects how the software and standards actually work, and nothing is published if the review step cannot stand behind it.

For technical facts we prioritise, in order: official manuals and documentation, published standards, manufacturer documentation, primary testing, reputable engineering publications, experienced practitioners, and finally community discussion for context only. When a forum thread is cited, it is offered as evidence that a problem is common, not as proof of a technical fact.

What we will not do

We do not fabricate specifications, prices, version numbers, loudness standards, research findings, quotes, user complaints, benchmarks, or before-and-after results. When we give EQ, compression, de-essing, or loudness settings, we present them as starting ranges, because the right value depends on the source material. We tell you when a recommendation is a formal specification versus a common convention versus a reasonable starting point.

Commercial disclosure

StudioRescue sells and gives away REAPER tools. When one of our products genuinely addresses the problem an article is about, we may mention it, clearly and no more than once, and we describe what it actually does. We also point to free, stock, or third-party options when those are the better answer. Our editorial conclusions are not shaped to make StudioRescue look better than the alternatives, and we do not rank products by commission. If an article ever contains an affiliate link, it will say so.

Accuracy and corrections

If you find an error, tell us and we will fix it. Substantive corrections are noted on the article with an updated modified date. We do not change publication dates simply to make old content look new; the modified date reflects a real edit.

To report a correction, email hello@studiorescue.net.

Independence

The goal of every article is to be useful even if you never download or buy anything from us. If a piece is only useful as an advertisement, it does not belong here.
