Choosing the right equipment for remote recording
The demands for a remote podcast production are higher than for an average video call. While a video call is primarily about good speech intelligibility, a podcast focuses on generally good audio quality. For this reason, the same equipment you use for video calls is not necessarily suitable for recording a podcast. For more information on this check out our article Why a Podcast is not a Zoom call. We recommend the following setup: an external microphone (connection via XLR to audio interface or via USB directly into the computer) a pair of headphones (preferably closed type) The internal microphones of laptops are absolutely insufficient. In addition, we want to put distance between the microphone and the computer. On the one hand, to accommodate the microphone position and line of sight independently, and on the other hand, to stay as far away as possible from interfering

What we expose listeners to It will come as no surprise to anyone that we, as a company in the audio industry, hold the high ground when it comes to good sound quality. Of course, good and bad are not absolute, comparable values. We often hear the word good in connection with audio quality as soon as the person taking part in the conversation can be understood perfectly and noise and digital artifacts remain within tolerable limits. But should that be our claim? After an exhausting day in countless video conferences, do we seriously expect our listeners to listen to another one as a passive participant?

Or perhaps because we lack the awareness of what good can also mean in this context? Zoom call and podcast
