Episode Description

Want to record high quality audio for your podcast but don't want to pay for a studio? No worries!

You can easily record fantastic audio at home just by thinking about where you record.

In this episode I explain how to set your recording space so you're recording the best podcast audio you can.

What you’ll learn

  • How to reduce echo/reverb at home
  • How to record in rooms that look good for video without ruining your audio.
  • How to use AI tools to polish what you can't fix in the moment (and how to avoid the robotic sound).
  • The golden rule: fix as much as you can at record time, then do as little as possible in post.
