I'm gonna use this this week to record a remote podcast. Thanks for the walk through as I'm researching solutions. All the best

I have a few questions. I'm trying to research to find the best platform to host my podcast through. My first question is the 2 hours minimum. Does that mean each episode that you make has to be under 2 hours in length- and then it goes into One track? Like it's 2 hours per episode right? Not 2 hours a month total. My idea is to make a 45 minute podcast 4 times a month with a remote co-host
My second question is, I'm assuming because it's for podcasters that the audio and video tracks are separate?

Does the video is very informative And I appreciate you making this for us. I found out that one platform I was planning to use is no longer free so I'm trying to explore free options because right now I'm starting from scratch and I do not want to pay a monthly subscription on a podcast I'm not completely sure is going to keep going.

Hello, regarding the free plan, am I correct in thinking you get 2 free hours to test out everything, and then after that you can still use it for free forever, it's just that you get the single track plus the watermark plus slightly lesser quality?

Hi Joe, thanks for the informative video! For the 2 hours worth of separate track recording, I'm assuming that if I were to record a podcast with 3 guests, each of those separate tracks would count towards the 2 hours? For example, if I recorded with 3 guests (so 4 separate tracks including myself) for 30 minutes, that would use up my 2 hours of single track recording (rather than being 30 mins of single track recoding?) Thanks for the help!

Super helpful, thanks. I’m trying to pair w/ my iPhone using continuity camera to record the video on my mobile devise (back camera). Do you know if the video quality is any better or worse than using riverside w/ your regular Mac built in camera?

[משמיעהקול]

Thanks for the explanation. I record a podcast by myself, I want to record and make a video for the podcast, will I have to pay after I use the two hours of the free software? Or can I always shoot and record together and then edit them together? for free

Hi Joe. Thanks for the audio editing tips. Can I record an audio track, then slow the playback speed slightly, then upload that "version"? Listeners would not know they are listening to a 80% speed audio track. Thank you.

Hi Joe, will there be a watermark left on our videos when we finish the product before uploading it to social media?

[barryc-mpej]

Hi. Does the Watermark show for the Free Plan, for audio podcasts when I'm using the Share Screen feature? Thank you, Joe.

[HDee_]

thanks for this! i’m assuming the watermark isn’t too bad?

[rosaalejandro]

Thanks so much what a great tutorial!!!

Can this be used without an internet connection? Just wondering because we lost 15 minutes of our last podcast using Spotify for Podcasters nascent recording options. Some kind of a processing issue...either way, I'd like to avoid having to re-record in the future.

[KimRosendahl]

It is 2h per month, right? So I can record a 2h remote Podcast every month for free? :)

[rajdulari]

I wonder, can it be used in Samsung android phone.

If I use the the free version and I'm in Europe and my friend is in Florida. Will that work.

For me is it's a one time thing. It's my friend in Florida thats is going do this and invite me?

[utchamps]

can you record more than 2 separate tracks with this free version or is 2 the max?
