Podcast NYC: Mobile Podcast Recording
A little primer on mobile podcast recording from my point of view. Mobile recording is a good idea, especially if you want to add variety and ambience to your podcasts. Hardware is important. I've had good results with the iRiver H320 and the Radio Shack tie clip mic. I've also developed a list of things to keep in mind to insure that the mobile recording process goes as smoothly as possible.
Happy Podcasting!
- Do sound checks in the recording environment.
- Try different volume settings.
- Be aware of the effects of background noise.
- Have your equipment organinzed and easy to get to (even in the dark!)
- Double check to make sure your recorder and mic are on.
- Turn off mic and recorder when complete to save precious battery life.
- Recording short segments reduces editing time.
- Organize, rename and tag audio files as soon as you transfer them to your computer.
Happy Podcasting!

Thanks for the tips. I have a podcast (skolsmart.skolmarknad.info, in Swedish) that now is turning more mobile. I used to record on an old MD-recorder with an analog transfer to my laptop. Recently I have begun to do the recordings directly into my laptop.
My next step will be to do the recordings with an MP3 recorder. But still at hold due to a combination of a) I am waiting för the new XDRUM XD-501 and b) I would like to do the recordings on my 3G phone (Motorola A1000).
For me, the latter, is more compelling. Still, there are a few pieces left in the puzzle. Se my blog for more thoughts about that.
