Episode 505 - How to Use Zoom to Record, Save Money on Paid Services and Get Amazing Audio - Podcasting TipsThere are many online recording platforms that would love to grab your money on a monthly basis to record your solo or guest podcast recording time. Zoom has had a bad rap for poor audio quality, that it is not a podcasting first experience - a lot of gurus will direct you away from zoom (probably because they have an affilate link to get you to use)What if you used zoom differently - I use zoom as a backup recording not my main recording. When I have a guest on my show I open audacity (free program) in the background and hit record as my guest joins me via zoom. Audacity is recording my microphone directly into the computer - no wifi drop outs to worry about. If you were to ask your guest to do the very same on their end, recording their audio via their microphone into their computer you end up with 2 separate recordings, one from your end and one from their end, shared via a free Google Drive link that you can assemble after the interview is over in Audacity.Zoom therefore becomes a backup recording, providing you the opportunity to see your guest on screen during the recording which helps with visual cues, interaction and a better recording experience.So I will encourage you to use zoom where others won'tRecord locally and separately and use zoom as a backupThere you go! That's it! If you want to practice with someone, use my calendar link on my website and we can use, wait for it...
