To keep levels and tone consistent, with the least noise, you want everyone who speaks to be the same distance from the mics they’re speaking into. The easiest solution to this is setting up the mics so they’re easy to share, and show the band how to get on the nearest mic when they want to speak.
Then you invite a band for an interview that has six members. Panels, group discussions, and full band interviews are harder to gauge because you’re really asking ‘how long is a piece of string?’ You’ll either need to set a limit on how many people you incorporate into a show at once or stage-manage your workflow.įor example, let’s say you gear up to produce a podcast where up to six people can talk at once, those six being yourself and five guests. Think ahead to the maximum amount of people you think you’re going to be speaking to at once and plan for that.Ī solo podcast or conversation between two people is pretty easy to plan for – you’re going to need one or two microphones respectively, and a small mixer that can cope with that. The most important question is how many people are going to be talking at once? It could be just you, you and a guest, or a panel discussion. The only hard part is choosing which mixer and mics to buy a simple web search is going to show you have waaaay more options than is reasonable, so let’s cut through the noise by posing some questions that will show you which way to go. All you need to add to your laptop is some mics and a mixer and away you go. The gear to record and mix professionally has never been more accessible or affordable, with no obscure technical expertise needed. True Crime? Geek Out? Fashion Forward? Anyone can make a top-quality podcast if you’ve got the passion and the inspiration.
