Blog 4 | What do I need to start a Podcast?May 29, 2023 - Posted by Mash Maximus So you are starting a PodcastStarting a podcast is an exciting endeavor that allows you to share your voice, ideas, and stories with the world. However, before hitting the record button, it's important to have the right equipment and a well-thought-out setup. In this guide, we will walk you through the essential podcasting equipment offered by Pro Audio LA and provide a step-by-step process to get started with podcasting! 1. Microphones
The cornerstone of any podcasting setup, a high-quality microphone ensures clear and professional-sounding audio. Pro Audio LA offers a range of microphones suited for different needs, such as dynamic microphones for live recordings or condenser microphones for studio-quality sound. One of the most famous podcasting microphones is the Shure SM7B. Like its more famous siblings, the SM57 and 58, the SM7B is a larger, cardioid dynamic microphone that can take a beating and deliver excellent recording quality under any circumstance. Pairing a SM7B with a Cloudlifter is a great way to open up the high frequencies of the SM7B to get crispy vocal takes. Similarly, the Sontronics Podcast Pro is another excellent and affordable podcasting powerhouse. Its hard to beat a mic for podcasting called the “Podcast Pro.” Both of these mics will require an audio interface to connect to your computer. Which is coming up next on our list.
2. Audio Interface
An audio interface serves as the bridge between your microphone and computer, converting analog audio signals into digital format. Some audio interfaces come with built in mic preamps and this is what we recommend pairing with the microphones mentioned earlier. Pro Audio LA offers interfaces that meet the needs of both beginners and professional podcasters. Some of the best options out there are the Apogee Duet 3 and the Zoom PodTrack P4. Both of these interfaces are small, offer 2 to 4 input channels and connect easily to your computer via Thunderbolt or USB. They are both very intuitive to use with easily navigable applets and hardware controls. Now that you have your microphone plugged into your interface and ready to record, you need to be able to hear yourself, right?
