great, short and to the point. So, then, are you relying on your guest to send you their side of the audio file - if they join the meeting from their phone, will they be able to get at that audio file (when they hang up), or, as a host, will I have their audio file saved on my end? I have some sales folks that are needless to say, less savvy than me, and I am not that savvy.
This is amazing advice! Short, sweet, and useful. I'm excited to give it a go. Thank you, and I hope you are well in light of what we're all navigating right now.
@@ArtistMagicwithMeganKuhar awesome video!!!! i am starting a podcast tomorrow!! i subscribed to your channel. please subscribe back! look forward to networking with you in the near future
Can you also record two video files? So that we can edit in the post whose image is shown mainly and whose image is in a small box. What I mean is, if you can do a video about how to process videos separately same way you suggested audio...
Typically I end up with 3 tracks: One for me that I recorded on Audacity, one for me that came from Zoom, and one for the guest from Zoom. When I sync my two tracks together, I just line up the waveforms so everything I'm saying plays at the same time on both tracks. Then I mute my Zoom track because I don't need that one. I sync the guest's audio with mine just based on what I hear, timing wise, and how the conversation flows. I edit everything in ProTools.
Megan, thanks for your work. You have a clear, simple way of explaining things that is refreshing. 2 Questions: Since Zoom records audio in M4A format, when you export the file into Audacity, does Audacity convert that file to MP3? And which audio file do you upload to your Podcast host? Thank you!
Hello! I'm so glad you liked the video. You can open an m4a in Audacity. It won't "convert" anything until you export it. I don't upload any files to my host until I am done editing them. If you need more help with this I would be happy to jump on a call with you: megan-kuhar.com/booking
can you do a video about Zoom meetings with external microphone settings? The audio for external microphone (USB) sounds better on mac but it the audio is incredibly quiet/low and doesn't sound nothing like yours (because you edit audio and video). Just want to know more on how to we improve the external mic input to be better (vs low/quiet).
Thank you for this! My friends and I would like to create a podcast but we are all at remote locations. This seems to be a viable option for us. Do you have any other suggestions for recording podcasts remotely to assure high audio quality? Thanks in advance!
Make sure you use headphones, and don't overpower your WIFI by doing too much on it at the same time. Other than that (and everything in this video) you should be good to go! :)
Hey there! Just wondering, why do you record yourself on Audacity simultaneously when Zoom can give you your own separate recording after the call is ended? Is the quality on Audacity better or something? Thanks
When recording a Zoom meeting, will you have access to both video portions of a meeting. If a 1 on 1 meeting is taking place, will you get a copy of yourself speaking & the other person speaking as well? Or when speaking on Zoom will it jump to whoever is speaking and capture just that person? Does that make sense?
Zoom won't create multiple videos, just multiple audio tracks. The video you receive flips views so that whoever is speaking is shown on the video, or you can set it to "gallery" setting which shows multiple people on screen at once. Just head to the preferences section and you'll see how to set it up!
Hi. I just subscribed to your podcast. If I record through Zoom, I assume that if the other person does not have a decent mic, the sound will be significantly inferior to my track if I'm using a high quality mic. Is that correct? Also, if I bought the Rode Rodecaster Pro, I can plug in through a phone line. Does that mean the Rodecaster will improve the sound so it doesn't sound like a phone line? Thank you. Enjoy your work. - Steve Pappaterra (Attorney / Consultant / Professional Drummer / Podcaster) :-)
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing, Stephen. I think most people are used to having the "guest audio" sound inferior to the "host audio," so that's totally fine in my book. I just always request that they use headphones or earbuds when they record. I haven't used the Rodecaster specifically (unfortunately! it looks awesome) so I can't answer that question... Sorry!

If you want to use the video, just sync that along with everything else!
