There are three main ways to record a podcast:
Home-studio podcasting
This is by far the easiest and cheapest way to record a podcast. All that is required is a microphone and audio editing software. You can even convert your audio file into a video file and add an image or gif as the background, for platforms such as YouTube.
Fast and easy, this may be a great way to experiment with podcasting before opting for the more costly alternatives. Unfortunately, this method is far less engaging for anyone wanting to steam your podcast on a video-friendly platform.
Home-studio video podcasting
An upgrade to the above, one way in which you can podcast is from your own home. However, if you opt for the more budget home setups, there are often disadvantages paired with the slightly cheaper options regarding audio quality. Plus, whilst this may seem like a cheaper option to recording in a studio, it can actually prove to be quite costly if you want higher production quality. The cost of hardware and software can be high particularly if podcasting isn’t something you attend to do frequently.
In-studio podcasting
This is the step from home-studio video podcasting, and you will definitely feel the difference. Unless you are able to get your hands on industry-standard equipment (which can cost over £7,000), recording in a studio is going to provide the highest quality audio and production. Plus, from £70 an hour, the cost-benefit ratio is definitely worth it.
The price to record a podcast is not a straightforward answer. In fact, the actual cost of recording podcasts can vary based on your goals, needs, and requirements. There are two types of home setups; low-budget/low-quality and high-budget/high-quality.
Whilst the low-budget option is often paired with the loss of audio quality or audio interference, just to name a few of the common issues, the high-budget setup can prove very costly. And investing in expensive podcasting equipment, especially when you are first starting out, may become a huge barrier. In fact, a complete setup can cost upwards of £7,000.
For state-of-the-art equipment, for a fraction of the cost, booking out a podcast studio may be the option for you. From £84 per hour, book a studio here at Outset Studio.
