Teave
With your podcast named, planned and full of potential, you’re going to need to get to grips with your equipment.
Firstly, you should have a recording friendly environment.
What is meant by a recording friendly environment and why do we need one?
As we know, sound bounces; that’s why our voices echo. We also know that the larger the space, the more echoes we seem to produce (think about a church or cathedral). Unlike a trampoline or your bed, however, sound much prefers hard surfaces to bounce around on.
This is why you see “egg like boxes” on the walls of recording studios. These are not in fact egg boxes, but acoustic foam. They are made of sponge and are great for absorbing sounds coming from all different directions. As sound travels in a straight line it bounces at angles, much like the balls in a game of pong. The egg box shape you see used in acoustic foam is perfect for catching sound waves.
The Sound Booth at The Old Electric has been specifically designed to offer a great sound for audio recording.
The equipment from microphones, headphones and pro-podcaster are all the other essential ingredients you need to create the perfect podcast.
So now this activity will explore in more detail the equipment and spaces needed for successful podcasts.
