How to start a podcast on mobile with a good Environment

When you record your podcast, you must keep a note of your environment,

There shouldn’t be noise, or interruptions. And If you have, you need to figure out some things

Like personally I faced some issue to which I also found a solution, by the way my problem was funny 😊

Crows were my problem – I didn’t notice this till I listened to my recording, the crows would start at 5 am and keep shouting till the evening but at the night they would sleep and that was the perfect time for me to record my podcast episode,

Also, there would be other problems in your case like cars passing by and horning if your house is close to the road or a railway track

But there is solution for every problem,

For most of the people recording podcast at the night is the best time, I also record my YouTube video at night

So, make sure you have the right environment to record where there is no noise and echo and most importantly crows lol

Now, Press record!

Software’s you need to start podcasting on mobile

1) Use your stock audio recorder from your mobile

Mobile companies provide audio recording app in every mobile pre-installed

2) Use applications, if you don’t have and even if you have pre-installed audio recording app

Because there are no features in stock app as compared to the third-party apps

Best application for mobile devices are RecForge II and audio lab

Use RecForge II For recording audio because it has an amazing feature to control how much audio it can capture.

This is the image of its interface

For example if you are in an environment where there is little noise and to get it out of the way , drag the line behind/ lower the audio capture till The noise disappears.

Audio Lab

Use Audio lab for editing as it does it the best,

You can cut the unwanted parts, make the audio better, merge the audio files, etc

I use it for editing and also tested others but this works best.
