A Professional Studio Will Make Your Podcast Better
Launching a podcast only requires a microphone and internet connection, but successful podcasts tend to have one thing in common: high-end production and top-quality recordings. Using a professional podcast studio like Murray Hill Studios is beneficial for brand-new or veteran podcasters. Below are some of the ways a professional studio helps elevate your podcast.
Top Quality Sound
Professional studios are designed to produce the highest quality sound. The use of soundproofing materials, the latest gear, and expert audio mixing creates clear audio that appeals to audiences. As an audio medium, having quality sound is a foundational step in creating a successful podcast. Studios are better equipped to record seamless audio and eliminate background noise than the average home setup, where professional-level quality is difficult to achieve. In a studio, you’ll find:
Top-of-the-line microphones. High-quality microphones eliminate background noise, produce accurate sound, and have a resonant tone.
Acoustic-friendly rooms. Many in-home studios are equipped with some soundproofing. Professional studios are lined with materials to absorb echoes, reduce reverberation, and muffle background noise.
Professional mixers. These allow the sound engineer to change levels or apply compression in real time, producing a balanced sound.
Premium headphones. Accurate headphones allow for real-time sound monitoring, making sure everyone sounds clear.
Premium Equipment
Using a professional podcast studio gives you access to the latest recording technology and equipment. Recording a podcast requires a lot of gear, including a microphone, headphones, and mixing equipment. If you’re venturing into video podcasting, lighting and cameras are also a factor. Studios that are equipped with everything you need save time and the cost of having to constantly update or upgrade your audio equipment.
Technical Support
Podcast equipment or editing software might stop working during production. Utilizing a professional podcast studio means you have access to a team of professionals with the skills to fix technical issues that arise. Technical support stops noisy feedback and resolves equipment issues, and audio engineers balance audio, create smooth transitions, and apply any effects. Audio editing is often the most time-consuming part of podcasting, and using a team of professionals helps streamline the process for faster turnaround. Murray Hill Studios sees ourselves as part of your team, here to help with every step of the production process for a satisfying result.
Video Ready
Video podcasts are used to reach new audiences through social media and build a following quickly. Adding video to your show means more equipment, more editing, and creating a special backdrop set. With a podcast studio, high-quality video cameras, professional lighting, and curated sets are ready for you. Post-production for video also requires separate software and skills, both available from a studio team. Murray Hill Studios offers a video podcast space with the flexibility to match an existing set or create something from scratch.
Easy Startup
Running a podcast from your home is part of the medium’s allure, but using an equipped studio may be the easier route. When the costs of gear and software are factored in, renting a podcast studio can help someone cost-effectively enter the podcast space. Studios help save time by eliminating the need to set up equipment and test sound quality. Veteran podcasters also benefit from switching to a studio as it provides spaces to host guests in person, comes with additional technical support, and saves time on pre and post-production.
