¿Cómo se puede grabar un podcast en un entorno ruidoso?

Recording a podcast amid chaos is like a comedic quest in a noisy kingdom! Armed with microphones and determination, you're like a knight defending your words against the invading forces of outside noise. Your trusty directional microphone becomes your superhero tool, cutting through the chaos. With editing magic, you banish unwanted noise, becoming a noise-reduction superhero in the podcasting realm. Remember, mastering these noise-banishing techniques can turn you into a resilient maestro of podcasting comedy!

I suggest that more important than a quiet location is a consistent location. Make a choice up front what you want the show to sound like. There's nothing wrong with a show that has background noise of a kitchen if you you're building something for chefs. There's nothing wrong with a show that has modest crowd or traffic noise if you're making man-on-the-street interviews a part of the show. Things like this are always going to be forgiven by the audience. Creaking chairs, beeps from a computer, pained grunts from a congested non-guest off camera/mic... these are the things that the audience will hate.

Try to soundproof the room: Hang thick curtains on the walls, use foam pieces designed to fill door gaps, and build a foam barrier around your recording station. Use the right equipment and tools: Use a mic that only picks up audio in the direction it's set to, Adobe Podcast to clean up background noise, and add the audio equalizer while editing in audio.

When I start recording a podcast episode, here are two few things I like to do... 1/ Turn off the air conditioning - depending on how long the episode is, this can remove a lot of noise from the initial recording. 2/ Utilize TEXTURE in the room - curtains, rugs, furniture... anything to absorb sound

Use a noise cancelling, high impedance microphone, and noise cancelling headphones. I have to make this 125 characters, so here's some other hints: Don't breathe into the mike. Try to stay away from active fire engines. Naval artillery ruins the mood. That should do it. :)

"Shotgun microphones" are very popular for this exact reason - they capture the audio it is facing. You can also try using a lapel microphone, placement can be a little tricky, but practice makes perfect. The closer the microphone, the better.

When I have to record a podcast in a noisy environment, here are some of the things I would do: -Opt for a dynamic microphone, which is less sensitive to background noise compared to condenser microphones. -If you don't have a soundproof room, improvise by hanging heavy blankets or curtains around your recording area to dampen external sounds. -Consider investing in affordable soundproofing foam panels. They can be easily attached to walls and help to absorb unwanted noise. -Utilize software tools that can filter out background noise during the editing process.

Wearing headphones while recording, especially in virtual settings, offers a significant advantage: it shields your microphone from capturing your computer's audio. But what exactly does this entail? When you have a microphone connected to your computer and rely on your computer's speakers for audio playback, the microphone will inadvertently record the sound emanating from your computer. This can lead to several issues, including: Audio Delay: The recorded audio may exhibit delays or echoes Audio Clutter: The overlapping audio from your computer and your voice can result in muddled and unclear sound quality Background Noise: Recording computer audio adds unwanted background noise to your recording
