Forgetting to Press Record

Forgetting to Press Record

Have you ever started “recording” an episode but after a few minutes realize that you actually NEVER clicked or pressed record?!?!

Most podcasters experience this at least once and it’s actually a good learning experience.

Here’s an episode where I forgot to press record and after 5 minutes of talking we had to start over, which we mention and laugh about in the first minute here.

How about you — have you done this?

  1. I do my podcast recording in Audition, but I always do a backup recording on my Zoom L-8. I start the Zoom recording while setting up and the Audition recording when ready to start. This have saved me from having to retake a couple of times. Also, if I use Squadcast or Riverside I get the guest local recording. So double backup 🙂

  2. Haha…I was so into the conversation with my guest that I NEVER noticed i hadn’t hit Record, until 1 hour and 24 minutes in…omg i was mortified. My guest, however, was gracious, and we rescheduled for the following week. I made myself a checklist that very minute. RECORD BUTTON is near the top of the list!
