I leave Zoom’s audio settings as ‘Same as System’ and set the Mac to use my external audio interface in System Preferences → Sound. How should I configure the audio settings in Zoom? Configure them as you would for a call that wasn’t a podcast.

Is this setup specific to Zoom? No, it should work on any video calling app, but we opted for Zoom as it works well in the regions our hosts live in and was something we all already used for other purposes. The default (middle position) kept everything aligned for up to 90mins in our recordings. We only experienced one gotcha early on… Audio Hijack’s preferences screen lets you set audio processing on a scale between ‘low latency’ and ‘more reliable’.Ī screenshot of Audio Hijack's preferences screenĬhanging this (even if all hosts used the same setting) caused significant audio drift. We’ve now used this approach for many episodes of 361 and it’s been brilliantly reliable. Note that the same audio interface should be used for microphone input and listening via headphones - this means each host can use direct monitoring to hear their own voice without the latency (delay) of routing it via your Mac, which gives a disconcerting echo effect. You should never need the 2nd one but it’s useful when things go wrong to re-align tracks in the edit. This workflow creates 2 recordings per host: a ‘solo’ recording to give to your editor and a ‘mix-down’ of what each host heard (themselves in high quality, the other hosts in ‘Zoom quality’).

Application: Turn off ‘Include audio input’ (or you’ll hear yourself twice) and turn on ‘Fill playback gaps with silence’.

Recorders: File format is a personal / editing workflow preference, but if you choose MP3 ensure you change ‘Bit Rate Mode’ to ‘Constant Bitrate’ as that’s what you’ll be publishing in.

Input Device: If your device supports multiple inputs (or stereo inputs) and you are using a normal (mono) microphone select it for both left and right channels.

Zoom can record audio itself but this approach is higher-quality and more reliable.Įach host installs Audio Hijack and configures this identical workflow:Ī screenshot of an Audio Hijack workflow to record a podcast over Zoom If you’re a podcaster anxious about Ecamm Call Recorder being unsupported in future (or just unhappy with having to reinstall it after every Skype update) and all hosts are Mac users, I recommend Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Hijack for podcasting via Zoom.
