So what needs to happen when you’re completing a remote recording? He’s a basic rundown of things to consider when prepping and running a remote podcast recording;
- Log into Riverside and create your studio
- Invite your guests and admit them into the virtual studio.
- Find a spot with minimal noise and optimal acoustics, such as a front room or bedroom, not a bathroom or kitchen
- Ensure no interruptions to make sure it's perfect for quality recordings.
- Having an external USB microphone is crucial for remote recordings, as well as a set of headphones.
- Make sure both are plugged in, and the correct audio input and output devices are selected.
- Position the microphone correctly, between 3 and 6 inches is perfect. Too close and you’ll hear lots of nasty breaths and plosive sounds. Too far away and you’ll capture a lot more room echo.
- Conduct test recordings to ensure the equipment isn’t misbehaving, a short 10 second recording should do the trick!
- Adjust settings and microphone placement as needed to achieve the perfect sound.
- Prepare the room and guests, minimise background noise and distractions - eye on the prize.
- Make sure there are no sources of light directly above or behind your guest, ideally a light source in front of them is perfect
- Hit record and monitor audio levels throughout the session for the best quality.
- Sort out any wonky internet issues before you start.
- Optimise your bandwidth and cosy up to that router for smooth sailing.
