Have you ever listened to a radio call-in show or even one on television?If you have, then likely you noticed that the host (the one doing the interviewing) usually has a great-sounding voice but the quality of the caller's voice is significantly inferior in comparison.
Why is that? This is because the audio is coming through a telephone line, which is not designed for broadcast.
On a live show (whether radio or television) there really aren't many options other than to use a telephone, because it's quick, low-tech, and pretty much everyone has access to a telephone.
But if you're in a situation where you're planning an interview in advance, that you'll be recording for your podcast, then with a little planning you can have that "big sexy voice" on both ends of the call.
Although at times I feel I'm out to change the world on this concept, the first thing you have to realize is that you shouldn't use your telephone.
And worse yet ...
don't use the internet.
Using any type of internet recording solution is going to create problems.
If it's not with the QUALITY of the call, it will be with tracks that are out of sync (where you and your guest's voices don't line up), then it might even be unexpected noises throughout the track.
Pretty much every internet marketer today has the ability to record their voice on the computer.
Typically they already have a mic and software that will allow them to record their voice into their computer.
So THIS is the technology that you need to use ...
and you will get a superior quality recording every time.
But even if they don't there are still some inexpensive and portable hardware solutions that you can investigate.
The game plan is this:You make a file at your end (right to your computer) and he does the same thing (directly onto his.
)Once he sends you the file you can easily synchronize the two tracks using any multitrack audio recording software, and then mix & balance, and edit anything that needs to be edited.
