Do We Need A Recording Studio?

No! In a perfect world we'd record in a professional studio with racks of equipment, miles of cables and the record producer telling us stories of when he worked with Iron Maiden, but modern technology is such that we don't need this any more. The Ursa Minor Audio studio is capable of recording any kind of podcast and is small enough to be carried in a single case. So we can record you in any space. Here are some factors to consider when choosing an appropriate recording location: Size of the room. Most spaces will be suitable, the smaller the room, the better. A big space can create a lot of reverberation which may become audible in the podcast. Surrounding environment. If you want to record in your office, but you're next door to a construction site then it might be worth considering another location. As a general rule it's best if the background noise is as low as possible. Comfort. Reducing environment noise in the final podcast is important, but it's no good if we end up recording in a cupboard. We need to find a room that makes it easy to talk into a microphone. No distractions. So we've got a comfortable, quiet room and we're ready to roll when suddenly the receptionist bursts in looking for a file. A podcast is best when everyone is focussed and so take this into account when choosing the makeshift studio. Equipment. Obviously Ursa Minor Audio will provide the microphones needed to record your podcast, but we do have two small requirements. Your temporary recording podcast studio will have to include a table and a power point. Everything else is entirely flexible. Our portable studio will give you professional results in almost any environment, but it's always best to optimise the location as much as possible. A small, quiet room away from distractions will be more than suitable for recording.
