Recording tips that make editing easier
No edit can fully rescue a poor recording. A few habits at the microphone save hours later, whether you edit yourself or send files to Pro Podcast Editing.
Room and microphone
Record in a small furnished room, stay a hand width from the microphone and use a pop filter. Soft surfaces matter more than expensive gear.
Separate tracks
Record each speaker on a separate track whenever possible. It lets the editor fix one voice without touching the other and removes crosstalk cleanly.
Mark mistakes
Clap or pause for three seconds after a mistake so it is visible in the waveform. More practical advice is collected on the podcasting blog.
