Following a checklist before you hit record will really help you counter a lot of common problems that can affect recordings.
When you’re new to podcasting, you’ve yet to build up the muscle memory and the mild complacency that can kick in. But as you get more comfortable behind the mic and with the process in general, it becomes easy to forget certain things.
Is your mic in the right place? Is your recording software picking up the right mic, or has it reverted to your in-built laptop mic? Has the cat knocked one of the dials on your audio interface? Are you hydrated?
This stuff happens all the time, and mostly to more experienced podcasters. But the more mistakes that creep in to the recording, the more time – and possibly money – has to be spent cleaning them up in post.
So draw up a checklist, or download mine.
