Cleanfeed is a VoIP recording device similar to but different than Zencastr, Squadcast, etc.
Cleanfeed can record each participant separately, however it does this differently than the others. The others record each participant locally to avoid any risk of internet glitching ruining their recording. Cleanfeed records everyone’s track on the hosts computer AFTER the all the guests’ audio has travelled over the internet. Cleanfeed claims their VoIP protocols are so good that glitching will not happen.
All in all it’s a very good and reliable service.

My first experience with Cleanfeed a couple of months ago was not a good one, and support was pretty much non-existent other than their online FAQs. My guest’s file was not useable — too much feedback and reverb that couldn’t be edited out. I couldn’t prove that it was my client’s fault, as we were able to record successfully later on Squadcast. So I gave up on Cleanfeed.
Sounds like your guest was not wearing headphones – ?
I don’t think there’s any other reason for the perception of echo/reverb other than the same audio twice with latency.
Thanks though for the cleanfeed review – I’m still looking for the best way to capture local audio with the least invasive “ask” for interviewees, and there are no silver bullets.
