So... What is PopCast Exactly?
PopCast is a self-service podcast studio located in downtown Boise, ID. With a fully private professional recording space that’s all yours during your sessions, you’ll feel like you’re recording at home. We’ve got the sound quality angle totally covered. All you need to worry about is great content!
Why Not Record at Home?
A Dedicated Recording Space
Recording at home can be hard. To begin with, you need a dedicated space to record in – this can be a bedroom, garage, or even a closet. And then you need quiet. You’ll need to find a time to record when the house is silent – like when it’s empty. For those of you that have gotten this far, you’re probably aware of the last step of creating a recording space at home: acoustic treatment. Untreated rooms are a nightmare to record in, with echoes from sound reflections off the walls, unwanted reverb, and a boxy tone to your voice.
Buying Recording Gear
Another challenge of recording at home is the cost of recording equipment. It might seem simple enough to purchase a basic podcasting rig. But you’ll need microphones, an audio interface, headphones, recording software, a computer, and all the accessories. Even with entry level equipment, this is well over one thousand dollars to get started. And if you want recordings that sound professional, the investment will be several thousand.
A Professional Alternative
We think that recording your podcast at home is a great idea. And perhaps we can help you set up your own home studio (we regularly help customers set up podcasting studios at home). But if you’re not quite ready to dedicate to a home recording studio, we’re here to help!
