Podcast recording

A calm table setup, one broadcast mic per seat and an engineer watching levels and noise — so you focus on the conversation, not the tech.

Three podcast guests at a table with mics and headphones.

Shows rarely fail for lack of ideas; they fail for noise — laptops, HVAC, street sound, or a guest sitting too far from the capsule. In our Amsterdam podcast space we use fixed mic positions, headphone mixes and a tight workflow so every voice stays intelligible when three people laugh at once.

The hourly rate covers room and engineer; the per-episode rate adds basic editing (trimming dead air, level consistency, export to MP3/WAV). Six episodes can be booked as a bundle. For room-quiet tips see keeping the podcast room quiet; book via contact.

Process

  1. 01

    Brief

    Send format, guest count, target length and whether you bring video. We hold the room and match mic count to a maximum of 4 seats.

  2. 02

    Setup

    Mics, pop filters and headphones are set per chair. Guests get a short talk on distance and mute etiquette before record arm goes down.

  3. 03

    Record

    The engineer watches peaks and room noise; if something breaks we pause and redo only the needed lines, not the whole hour.

  4. 04

    Edit and export

    Episode pricing includes an edited mix plus raw multitrack on request. Revisions follow terms and up to 2 rounds where applicable.

Formats we often host

Host plus rotating guests, two co-hosts, panels up to four people, and internal company shows later used as training audio. Fiction with multiple roles works when you cast ahead and share scripts — we then allow extra setup time.

We do not run full YouTube or Twitch production; we can deliver a clean audio stem you pair with your streaming software. Describe your rig at intake so sync surprises do not appear on the day.

Room and comfort

The table sits in a treated room at Elandsgracht 84, with curtains and panels that tame reflections. Water and headphones are on hand; guests can leave coats in the wardrobe to avoid zipper rustle. Keeping the room quiet lists what you can do before arrival.

Maximum 4 people at the table at once; larger panels mean two sessions or a format change. Under 16? Only with parental consent and an adult present, per studio policy.

What basic editing covers

Episode pricing trims dead air at start and end, removes obvious false starts and sets a consistent loudness for podcast apps. Cross-talk stays unless you ask for tighter cuts. Heavy sound design, music beds or drama-style editing is out of scope and quoted separately.

You usually receive a stereo mixdown plus per-mic WAVs on request. Default capture is 48 kHz WAV; MP3 for direct upload can be added.

Six-episode bundle

€1,450 covers six sessions up to 90 minutes raw each, including basic edit per episode. It suits teams on a weekly or bi-weekly rhythm who want dates held in advance. Cancelling within 4 days of a session follows terms and conditions.

Slots need not sit in one month; many clients spread over three or four. Unused sessions expire twelve months after purchase unless your invoice says otherwise — ask about extension via [email protected].

Engineer role

Our vocal and podcast engineer runs mic choice, gain staging and recording safety. You keep editorial control; we do not edit opinions, only technical issues. Want help shaping room tone between segments? Say so at the top of the session.

FAQ

How long should we block for one episode?

For 45–60 minutes of spoken content, plan 75–90 minutes in the room including setup and short breaks. Tighter schedules create avoidable stress.

Can I bring my own microphone?

Our mics are matched to the room. External mics only by arrangement, XLR out, recently serviced. Setup time may increase.

Will you mix under my intro music?

Light ducking within basic edit is sometimes possible with a licensed file. Full music production is quoted separately.

What if a guest cancels sick?

Reschedule rules for 4 days ahead are in terms. Inside that window deposits may forfeit or move once — see your quote.

Where do I read about noise?
