Hi! Our show prides itself on our audio quality. While we're a small show, we sound great. Here's how we will record with you.
- Please prioritize your internet connection quality. Wired over wireless, always, when possible. Ask the family to stay off Netflix, etc. Close all other tabs or background apps. You'd be susprised how often this causes hiccups.
- You'll want to use a decent pair of USB headphones/headset with a nice microphone, rather than an iPhone headset or your laptop's microphone. Please use a quiet room.
- Ideally you'll borrow a USB Condenser Mic like a Samson C01U or a Snowball. Perhaps you know a friend or colleague with one?
- We'll use Zencastr.com at a URL I'll send you in a calendar invite. Please use Chrome or Edge (Firefox has challenges in recorded audio at quality), and if possible (again) a wired internet connection. Zencastr requres no plugins and will record both both sides of the call. When I end the call, Zencastr will upload a WAV file to my Dropbox from your computer. Please don't close the browser until that's done!
- Please also make sure to have at least a full gig or more free hard drive space for the temporary recording.
- When we're done I'll stitch your locally recorded WAV file together with my own locally recorded one and it'll sound amazing!
- After we are done, please send me a quality headshot. I'll resize and crop it and apply a filter to appear alongside our other guests.
The result is a great sounding show that makes us all sound good.
