What to consider when choosing a podcast recording app

When looking for a podcast recording app, you’ll want all-round-software that can take your podcast from beginning to end. Most importantly choose software that records in high audio and video resolution. The best apps for podcast recording offer local recording which means that everything is directly captured on your device so internet issues don’t interfere with quality. We suggest you go for software that allows you to download separate tracks as this gives you more editing freedom. 

To save you plenty of editing time, look out for editing features that come with your recording software. Automatic editing tools for noise suppression, echo cancellation, and audio fixes can be a huge help. Some software also offer efficient repurposing tools such as easy distribution and short, shareable clip creation for social media. Other features to keep in mind include cloud storage, transcription, and live streaming.
