What is the largest number of participants…

For your podcast, what is the largest number of participants you will want to record in the same physical space?

Keep in mind that to record each participant on their own track you’ll need a separate microphone for each of those participants, and a recorder or interface which has enough inputs to accept that many microphones. Unless you want to use one microphone in the middle of a table to pick up everyone……but you never want to do that, trust me.

  1. For a podcast, four people are enough.

    Irrespective of the size of room, the acoustic separation is the most important element. Use of super cardioid mics, great mic technique and absorbent materials will allow smaller rooms to be used.

    Larger rooms tend to have a greater problem with reverberation, so more sound absorbent materials help and use the physical distance.
