However, you may be wondering how to record a podcast or music remotely at high quality. Ultimately, drops in bit rate and lags in latency caused by doing so online can not only strip the polish from an otherwise accomplished product, but put an end to an audio collaboration entirely.

But fear not, high-quality remote recording is perfectly possible. By relying on Audiomovers, a software company removing the barriers from audio production, you can guarantee this in real-time.

Find out how below.

2. Headphones and Studio Monitors

No matter what you’re recording, you need to use high-quality headphones and studio monitors. These allow you to stay on top of what you’re hearing so you know whether it’s going along the right path or not.

Without headphones, for instance, a podcast will have feedback problems considering your collaborator’s microphone will also pick up your voice from their speakers. Meanwhile, a studio monitor prevents audio distortion and provides flat frequency responses so you hear the audio in its neutral state.

What people also ask about remote audio recordings

Why shouldn’t I use conference tools like Zoom, Google Meet or Skype?

Conferencing tools like Zoom, Google Meet and Skype have become incredibly popular in recent times not only among those wanting to chat, but for people looking to record audio thanks to each having recording functionalities. However, attempting to use these platforms for remote recording podcasts or music is a big no-no.

This is because the likes of Zoom are primarily designed for quick and easy communication, and don’t have the capabilities to consistently facilitate the recording of high-quality, uninterrupted audio content. As a result, using these platforms makes your recordings vulnerable to low-quality audio and latency lag issues, both of which can severely hamper your final product.

What other options are there for remote HD audio recording?

Another option regularly used for remote HD audio recording is the ‘tape sync’. This is the practice of hiring an audio engineer and sending them to the location of one of the people involved in an audio recording (typically the guest of an interview), while the other person (usually the interview host) records their part from the studio. The engineer takes their recording rig and sets up a microphone, with the tape sync overall making it sound like both parties are in the same room.

However, although this is certainly a useful way of recording audio across different locations, why bother when Audiomovers can make doing so sound just as good, but at a fraction of the cost, time and effort?
