Establishing the correct recording environment is paramount to a great recording. Inappropriate background noise can distract the listener from the subject matter. That may mean a lecture hall with an audience and PA system to lend credibility to the speaker or a tightly controlled location with a voice booth which we can provide.
Cutting edge digital recording and editing equipment and software is used to produce a professional sounding product. Professional microphones, digital converters and recorders even cabling make sure the raw recording is the best it can be. Specialized mastering software to edit and generate the final mixdown are used so you have an assurance of a quality Podcast.
Typically people are unlikely to be as natural as they might usually be when speaking into a microphone. We can recommend the steps required to be totally prepared for the recording session and therefore sounding more natural with the subject. But more times than not the speaker is not a professional lecturer and its natural to stop and start which makes understanding the editing process essential. Bearing in mind the natural flow and intonation of the spoken word it takes years of experience to reproduce broken sentences or even rebuilding words accurately. Equalizing the volume, tone and pacing structure of the speaker completes the editing procedure.
Original, inventive even a little quirky but most of all hits the mark for the mood essential to fit the clients needs. We use only the highest quality software and sampling tools to produce a superior alternative for small music projects and podcast production.
Making a lecturer sound natural in their own environment takes an understanding of what the listener believes is the correct order of events. Picking up various sound effects at the event or using high quality sound clips that match is very important to creating that result.
The last step is combining the edited lecture or talk with music, voice over and sound effects in the mixdown process to package the raw Podcast file. Then making it ready for the web by file conversion and compression completes the final mixdown.
