Nice job! Something I would add to the microphone point is to get xlr mics and invest in a mixer and/or interface. It's worth it's weight in gold when it comes to your sound and they're really not too expensive! You can save money and get mixer/interface combos. And with reducing echo, one if the best ways to do this is using a dynamic microphone. Condenser mics are great for the crisp sound we all love, but if you're in an untreated room (no sound foam, dampening, etc), you can hear EVERYTHING in the back. With dynamic mics you have to talk directly into the source to get the sound. So almost everything else in the back is gone. We record in my kitchen or living room and people think it's a studio! Haha Another great video, guys! -Joe Hippy Speedball Podcast
1:20 pet peeve: rooms have reverb - canyons have echo. It would be more credible and professional if you use the correct term. Light acoustic treatment true soundproofing. Again, semantics. 3:09 agreed - Zoom, Skype not pro tools! 3:35 double-ender - participants record audio locally, later combine.
Yes these are great tips. Does anyone know of a video which is made to be sent to podcast guests? I list out all my recommendations but a 1 minute video would be great. Be in a quiet room, have headphones and your best mic, use cable rather than Wifi if poss, make sure your chair isn't squeaky, bring pillow and towels into the room, lay towel down over your desk, tell the kids to keep it down. Would be great to have a link to send.
A one-minute video is a great idea! This might also help you when booking for a podcast guest. www.buzzsprout.com/blog/book-top-podcast-guests Feel free to shoot us an email to support if you have other questions/concerns. 😊
Hey! We typically don't recommend using emoji's because they do not always show up on all devices. You can still decide to do this if you would like, but keep in mind everyone might not be able to see them!
