Hello, and welcome to episode number 20. As you saw in the title, the word studio is in air quotes. I want to explain this to you. This is because I have learned and with my students that we don't always go or are able to go into a well padded floor to ceiling studio room with a radio quality mics and have the ability to book that room whenever we want.
And you know what? A lot of podcasters won't have even stepped foot into a traditional studio but have successful podcasts all the same. While don't get me wrong, the sound quality of a podcast is super important when it comes to recording your podcast, but these days, there are ways around that and you can set up your own quotation marks, 'Studio' at home. So let me share a few things with you about that so you can set up your own podcast studio, just like that and get recording sooner!
1. Mics - Have a mic that's part of your phone's corded headphones.
Different Mics:
- Audio Technica 2100 Usb mic
- Rode Usb mic
- Blue Yeti
- Samson Q2
2. Headphones - Make sure they're plugged into your laptop/mic so you can hear that feedback and gain an edting ear in where to mark and edit faster later on.
3. Table/desk set up- Try your best to avoid recording in front of a window as outside noise reflects into your room and can be picked up by your mic. Try and set up against a wall. Try to also sit amongst your clothes in your closet or wardrobe for crisper sound.
4. Record using your laptop, more to do with how you're reading our notes and controlling your papers if youve got your notes handwritten. think of the scrunching and rustling sound of papers and when to avoid sound overlap.
5. Keep your set up simple. Use the above tips and keep it lean until you can built your 'studio' up.
