Podcasts and interviews

Record remote guests. Everyone on their own track.

Send a link. Guests join from a browser on their phone or laptop. Press RECORD, and each person lands on a separate track, in full quality, ready to edit.

How it works

From invite to edit in four steps.

  1. Open a roomCopy the link or have ProdHQ email the invite.
  2. Guest joinsThey pick a mic, run a quick check and ask to join. You admit them.
  3. RecordPress RECORD. One WAV per host, guest and local mic.
  4. EditStop, and the takes are in your session. Full-quality guest files swap in as they finish uploading.

Where it runs: Remote Recording Session is in ProdHQ Studio on Windows. In Express, bring guests in through the Video Switcher room instead, where each guest is recorded in full quality too.

Sound quality

No more interviews that sound like a phone call.

What you hear during the interview comes over the internet. What you edit doesn't have to.

Recorded on the guest's side

Each guest's browser records their own mic, uncompressed 24-bit, 48 kHz, before the internet touches it.

Uploads while they talk

The file uploads in the background during the interview, so there's little to wait for at the end.

Lined up for you

ProdHQ checks every piece, lines it up with your take (including clock drift) and swaps it in.

Running the interview

Tools for the person behind the mic.

Script and notes

Push notes to guests' screens in large, readable type. Not a chat window.

Talkback

Guests hear you for cues. Turn it off when your mic should stay out of their ears.

Mute that means mute

Muting a strip silences the take and the line.

Local inputs too

Add mics from your own interface as extra tracks in the same recording.

Level at a glance

Each strip shows when it's ready to record. A mixer rides levels.

On camera instead?

For video podcasts, use the Video Switcher: guests on camera, every camera recorded.

Cleanup

Fix the guest who called in from the kitchen.

Voice Isolation

Keeps speech and removes traffic, keyboards, dogs and echoey rooms. The best first step for remote guests.

Noise Reduction

Teach it what the noise sounds like and it removes only that: fans, hiss, hum.

De-Reverb and hum removal

Tame echoey rooms and take out mains hum with its harmonics.

Plosives, clicks and breaths

De-Plosive, De-Click and Breath Control, each with a Listen option.

Broadcast Ready

One knob to podcast loudness (−16 LUFS) with the peaks held under the ceiling.

Vocal Rider

Rides voice levels for you, so quiet guests keep up with loud hosts.

Clips and video

Social clips

Captions and vertical video from the same session.

Transcribe a clip into word-by-word captions on your own computer, make a 9:16 version, or build an audiogram.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do guests need to install anything?

No. Guests open the link in a browser on a phone or laptop, pick their mic, run a quick check and ask to join.

Does each person get their own track?

Yes. Every host, guest and local input records to its own WAV in your session, so you can edit and level each person separately.

Will the guest sound like they're on a call?

Only during the live conversation. Each guest's browser also records their mic uncompressed at 24-bit, 48 kHz, and ProdHQ swaps that file in after you stop.

Is this audio-only?

Remote Recording Session is audio-first. For video podcasts, the Video Switcher brings guests in on camera and records every camera separately.

Can I clean up bad remote audio?

Yes. Voice Isolation, Noise Reduction, De-Reverb, hum removal, De-Plosive, De-Click and Breath Control are built in, plus Broadcast Ready for podcast loudness.
