When you want the absolute best quality recording from your remotely co-hosted podcast, you record a double-ender. A double-ender is a type of recording where everyone on the podcast episode records their own audio. This allows for the cleanest sound possible, removing the unwanted noise problems you might get from such things as Skype or the telephone. While this method does create more work for the editor (e.g. lining up clips, transferring files) you do end up with the best recording possible because everyone has recorded their microphones directly into their own software or recording device. The basic workflow is as follows: 1. Everyone records their own audio (into Audacity or any other recording software or their own digital audio recorder). 2. Each person uploads their audio to a server so that the person doing the post production can gather all the audio files. 3. The editor lines up the audio tracks in an audio editor and does the normal post production (leveling, sweetening, etc.) 4. Export and finish the same way you would any other podcast episode (ID tags, show notes, etc). In this episode I team up with Steve from NetcastStudio.com to record a double-ender podcast about recording double-ender podcasts. Listen as we describe the steps in detail and pay attention to the great sound quality we get from the process. It's like we're sitting in the same studio even though in reality I was on the East Coast and he is on the West.
