And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
At some stage in your podcasting journey,
Speaker:
00:00:26
you're gonna be asking yourself,
Speaker:
00:00:27
Is it time to upgrade my equipment?
Speaker:
00:00:29
Now this could be microphones, it could be the mixers that you use, it could be the hardware
Speaker:
00:00:33
or the software you're recording or editing into, but there will come a time when you'll
Speaker:
00:00:36
think do I need to upgrade? And I hate saying this, but it depends.
Speaker:
00:00:41
You might already have a great sound, even with the setup you're using at the moment.
Speaker:
00:00:44
I've said it before and I'll always say this, you don't need super expensive equipment to
Speaker:
00:00:48
get a great sound for your podcast.
Speaker:
00:00:50
The more important thing is making sure your recording environment is really good, so nice
Speaker:
00:00:53
soft surroundings, cushions, chairs, whatever you can put in there that takes away the echo
Speaker:
00:00:57
from hard walls, bare floors etc. If you do want to upgrade your equipment, start small and get
Speaker:
00:01:03
feedback from other podcasters and listeners to see what part of the podcast they enjoy.
Speaker:
00:01:06
Then if you want to upgrade your equipment you'll know which one to focus on. Maybe you do want to
Speaker:
00:01:11
upgrade to an XLR mic and use an audio interface for example, or maybe you want to upgrade your
Speaker:
00:01:16
interface and improve that side of things. But really you don't need to worry about upgrading
Speaker:
00:01:19
your equipment right away if your podcast sounds good and you're happy with the end result.
Speaker:
00:01:24
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
Speaker:
00:01:26
