About

I’m Zhivko Nikolaev, a podcast editor and audio post-production specialist based in Shumen, Bulgaria. I’ve edited hundreds of podcast episodes across many topics and styles, helping creators turn raw recordings into clean, engaging audio through noise reduction, EQ/compression, and careful editing that keeps conversations clear and tightly paced.

I also work as a sound designer and music producer, with extensive experience in sound recording, composing, mixing, and post-production. From audiobook and game sound design to trailers and brand/commercial music, I enjoy adding the right creative touches—intros, transitions, SFX, and polish—so every episode or track sounds professional, consistent, and listener-friendly.
