BRX Pro Tip: How to Set Up a Podcast Studio
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s share a few tips on setting up a podcast studio.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:10] Yeah. If you want to set up a professional podcast studio, you know, we’ve been doing this for a long time, we each have studios in our house and we each have studios in a location. Some of the basic equipments that we recommend are microphones, obviously, mic stands, headphones, and a mixer of some sort. Some people get away with just using their laptop, but we prefer a mixer. Then, you have to find a room to record in. I think that it’s important to have some sound dampening material around the room to avoid echoes. And then, some mic socks to get rid of some of the pops, maybe a pop filter if that’s really an issue for you.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:51] Something else to think about, if you’re going to do any video, then you’re going to have to add in some lighting and some cameras. If you want to have one camera or a multi-camera, you’re going to have to think about that. And have some interesting background or interesting visuals around the room to make the room more visually appealing. And at some point you’re going to need some software to edit stuff, whether it’s audio or video. And you’re going to have some way to post and distribute the content and the service to also host the podcast.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:23] So, those are some of the elements to set up a podcast studio. It can be as simple as just using your phone, but the more serious you are about it, it’s going to require a little bit more equipment. It’s not super expensive, but there are more things that you have to buy and use if you want to have a really high quality podcast studio going.
