I have been audio podcasting for a year. I am a technical director and audio engineer with 28 years experience producing live events
Since i am a solo content creator I feel as though I am still trying to make my content creation and publishing work flow more streamlined and efficient.
I am starting to add video and might start with hosting remote guests.
Riverside seems like it might be the right platform for me to do it all from.
Will be checking out your plans.

Hi! I've been trying to set up my interface (EVO8) to be able to hear myself as I speak but it does not work. I've tried everything, and can confirm that inputs and outputs were correctly chosen. My headphones work normally if I play anything on my computer and I can hear through the EVO8, but when I'm speaking into the mic in my studio, I hear nothing. It still records my voice and I can play it later, but I can't hear myself WHILE I record. Any tips on how to fix this? I own a shure sm7b

Thank you for this! My friend and I are starting a podcast in two days, so knowing how to use this app is fantastic! I have one question, though. I’m not sure if you mentioned this, but if I select my iPhone as the camera, can I still use my Apple monitor to view myself and my guest?

This is so helpful, thank you! If you are doing a podcast and both people are in the same room, can you connect cameras at different angles to get both and have the same type of automatedediting options that you showed in this one for when you do remote interviews? So could you set up 2 phones/cameras?

✅ Checklist for Your Interview Guests
Stephen, your content is so helpful. Ive been trying Riverside and the one issue on every video recorded in Riverside is the syncing of voice and video. Even after adjusting the sync in one part if video it throws off another part. The audio and video are recorded together so It gets frustrating trying to fix it. I’m sure part if it is just my inexperience..
