What to consider when choosing recording software

You don’t need to be in a studio for professional results. Look for recording software that records high-resolution audio and video. Aim for a minimum of HD resolution, but go for up to 4K video if you want top-quality recordings. With audio, we suggest a minimum of 44.1 kHz. Planning to record on the go? Choose software with remote recording features such as local recording, an easy mobile app, and remote guests. All-in-one recording software that simultaneously captures audio, video, and your screen will save you money and storage space.

Although, we recommend making sure you can download separate tracks. Separate tracks give you more editing freedom without having to record video and audio separately. Even though recording software’s main aim is to record, check out what editing features are available as well. Smooth automatic editing tools save a lot of time and in some cases, you can even create publishable content without needing specialized editing apps. Extra features include live streaming capabilities, automatic transcription, and easy clip creation.

What is the best free recording software?

While there are many good free recording software like Audacity for audio or OBS for screen recording, many of these are not suitable for everyone. Sometimes these are more difficult to use; they don’t always record in the best quality, or they can be limited with features. Luckily, Riverside has a free plan that lets you look professional no matter your level. We provide reliable audio, video, and podcast recording software, among other features.

What equipment do I need to record?

You don’t need much. You can record directly from any desktop or mobile device. Although, it might be worth investing in a good microphone for better-quality sound. This is especially important if you’re looking to podcast or share your materials publicly. Podcast equipment and higher-end recording devices can still all fit any budget.
