Temporary Podcast Studios at Events

These are usually cool looking and fun, but I’m not sure how they sound because I’ve never recorded using one. Have you? If I did record in one of these I’d enjoy hearing the individual tracks afterwards at home to analyze each track on my studio monitors.

Usually these studios don’t have a ceiling so I’m not sure how much background noise ends up bleeding into the mics. But maybe some event background noise would be OK for ambiance??

Of course, if you’re ever going to record in a space which isn’t soundproof, it’s always helpful to get really close to the microphones to increase your signal to noise ratio.

Recently at Podfest they had one of these studios set up and were using the RØDECaster Pro and several RØDE PodMic’s, along with a few other popular microphones. You could reserve a time to use the studio, too. It was actually my first time seeing a RØDECaster Pro in person. And I spoke into the PodMic to try to hear how much of the plosives come through, and it sounded like an average amount similar to an RE20 or SM7b. Of course I can’t yet evaluate the PodMic without recording and hearing it back 😉
