Should I Record One Track or Two for My Podcast Interviews?
There are a number of tools out there that allow you to record remote podcast interviews—while so many of these tools are wonderful, there are limitations with some of them. For example, tools like Zoom don’t default to recording one track per participant (or multi-track recording).
My answer to recording on one track or two is to always record on two (or one per participant). As a long-time podcaster and producer, there are so many benefits to recording on separate tracks that will give you a better podcast result.
Benefits of Recording Multi-Tracks for Podcasts
Let’s review three of the top benefits of recording multiple tracks for your podcast interviews.
Enhance Audio Quality
Multi-track recording allows for clearer and more precise audio, eliminating common issues like overlapping voices or background noise.
Flexibility in Post Production
Having separate tracks for each participant gives you the ability to edit each voice independently, which is crucial for fixing interruptions, echoes, or any other audio mishaps.
Provides a Better Listening Experience
High-quality audio is essential for keeping listeners engaged. Multi-track recording helps ensure your audience enjoys a seamless and professional-sounding episode.
