Podcast Guest Checklist
Before you join a Studio session with your computer, here are some tips for a seamless recording experience:
Before Recording
- Check our minimum system requirements.
- Ensure a stable internet connection. You can test it here. A wired connection using an Ethernet cable is more reliable than WiFi.
- Use a supported computer browser: Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Please note: you cannot use Incognito/Private mode to record.
- Close other browser tabs and applications, as many as possible — especially any that also use the microphone or camera.
- Temporarily turn off any VPNs, browser extensions, content blockers, or firewalls.
During Recording
- Wear headphones to prevent echo and increase overall audio quality.
- Use an external microphone rather than your computer's built-in mic which picks up more noise. We recommend a wired microphone. However, a wireless microphone or a microphone built into wired headphones is also suitable.
- If possible, record in a space with daylight or with a lamp in front of you. The strongest light should be in front of you, not behind you.
IMPORTANT:
Keep in mind that your locally recorded track will be higher quality than what you see and hear during the live call.
When the Recording Stops
- Leave the Riverside browser window open until you see Upload Complete or 100% Uploaded.
