Your recording checklist:

  • Find a quiet space where you won't be interrupted.
  • Use a computer with a Chrome or Edge web browser that's up-to-date.
  • Check your Internet stability. Ethernet cable connections are preferred over Wi-Fi.
  • Use an external mic, if possible. Even the mic in your ear/headphones.
  • Use wired headphones/earphones to prevent echo and increase audio quality.
  • Close all other applications that don't need to be opened during the recording.
  • Next turn off all notifications, turn on Do not disturb on all your devices.

 

Microphone Check:

You can use the Adobe Podcast Mic Check tool here: https://podcast.adobe.com/miccheck# to get feedback on your room echo, background noise, microphone gain, and distance to microphone, along with a feature to Listen to how you sound.
