My home podcast setup

September 5, 2023

I co-host the Latent Space podcast, which we mostly record in a irl studio but occasionally do remote episodes. This is the latest remote episode we have done, to get a sample. Audio post-prod is done by our audio producer.

For the audio part:

Equipment:

• Audio-Technica ATR2100x
• InnoGear Microphone Arm Stand
• Microphone windscreen

Software:

• Riverside.fm
• Audacity for simple trimming
• Descript for word-by-word editing
• smol-podcaster for transcription, etc.

I don’t really have much to complain about here, and not sure what I’d improve.

For video:

• Logitech Brio 4K: I’d update to a DSLR if I wanted to invest in better quality, but this does the job. Just make sure to turn LogiTune on to up it to 2k. 4k is too laggy for calls / live recordings.
• Elgato Key Light Air: this is my main light. I have two fill lights to my right to even out lightning.

I haven’t really invested in this outside of just having a Zoom setup, so if you’re planning to do a lot of YouTube your mileage will likely vary!
