The Basics​

​

​

Why does recording equipment matter?

​

Research shows that even with top level content the majority of people are deterred from listening to a podcast if the audio quality is poor. The first step towards achieving better audio quality is getting the right equipment.

​

​

Won't an upgrade be very expensive?​

​

No! You do not need to spend a fortune on pricey gear to get a top quality sound. For most recording situations an investment of £100-150 will make a huge difference to your audio.​

​

​

Can't I just use my built in computer mic?​

​

Definitely not. To gain listeners and grow your podcast you need to respect your audience by offering them a reasonable level of quality. A built-in computer mic will not offer this.

​

How Can I Improve?

 

 

Step 1​

​

Drop me a quick message letting me know what equipment you are currently using.

​

Step 2​

​

I will advise on whether the equipment you have is suitable or if an upgrade is needed. I may ask you to do a very quick mic test to determine this.

​

Step 3​

​

If an upgrade is needed then I will make some specific suggestions on what equipment is best for you.​
