About this episode

In this episode, Rachel Corbett explains how to set up a recording space at home for high-quality podcast audio without the need for a studio.

Want to record high quality audio for your podcast but don't want to pay for a studio? No worries! You can easily record fantastic audio at home just by thinking about where you record. In this episode I explain how to set your recording space so you're recording the best podcast audio you can. What you’ll learn How to reduce echo/reverb at home How to record in rooms that look good for video without ruining your audio. How to use AI tools to polish what you can't fix in the moment (and how to avoid the robotic sound). The golden rule: fix as much as you can at record time, then do as little as possible in post.
