1. Riverside.fm: This platform is one of the most recommended currently. It records uncompressed audio (48kHz) and video up to 4K, which ensures professional quality. In addition, it allows you to record the audio locally on each participant's device, avoiding connection problems that could affect the quality. It is ideal for remote interviews or conversations and is very easy to use.

Without a doubt, the main factor that differentiates this tool from others on the market is the quality of the audio it provides, because it uses a recording technology that allows recording high-definition video and audio. Another positive point is that this quality standard is not affected even if people are in different geographical locations.
Therefore, it breaks with the need to have a physical studio and can record with people from different parts of the world with excellent quality.
What are the features of Riverside Podcast
Let's break down the tool a little more so that you understand the scope of all the advantages it offers:
Audio recording
Audio files are recorded in high-quality formats, such as WAV or FLAC, which preserve all the details and nuances of the original sound. The tool allows you to record audio at a sampling rate of up to 48 kHz, ensuring accurate, high-resolution playback.
It allows you to record separate tracks for each participant, which means that you can then edit each person's audio individually, allowing you to make post-production level adjustments or remove background noise, echo, etc.
Video recording
You can record video in high definition (HD) with a resolution of 720p, in Full HD (1080p) and up to 4k, providing a high-quality visual experience for your viewers.
The tool supports different video formats, such as MP4 or MOV, which are widely compatible with any device. Local Recording
The tool records each participant's audio and video locally on their device, avoiding internet connection fluctuations and allowing for more stable recording. Once the recording is complete, the local audio and video files are synchronized and combined into a single high-quality track that is uploaded to the cloud.
AI-generated transcription
The tool uses advanced AI algorithms to automatically and accurately transcribe audio content. This means that the audio from recorded episodes is automatically converted into written text. Can you imagine the time savings and the gains in positioning? This way, you will also make your content more accessible. You can use the text in your copies to promote your podcast. It's all advantages!
Integration
Riverside.fm can be linked to the main streaming and podcast platforms such as Apple Podcast, Spotify, Libsyn or Google Podcasts. And it even integrates with your social networks so that you can automatically publish your audios, which reduces time and makes it easier to promote the content you generate.
Integrated editing tool
If you have created both audio and video content, you know that one of the most arduous tasks is editing once the content is recorded. Riverside Podcast has also thought about how to make your life easier in this field.
Audio editing
Riverside.fm has an audio editor integrated into its platform, allowing you to make edits to your recordings. You can trim unwanted sections, remove awkward pauses, adjust the volume, manage synchronizations, etc.
You can also export and download your edited audio files in different formats, such as WAV or MP3. Riverside podcast makes collaboration easier by allowing access and download of audio tracks, which facilitates collaborative editing.
We show you an example of what an audio track looks like and how you can access the transcript, copy the body of text and edit the audio to trim, remove what you don't want and leave it clean.
Video editing
In addition to the entire audio recording section, there is an increasing tendency to generate video content to accompany podcasts. For this, Riverside is a perfect ally, because it also allows you to record video in very high quality. From the same platform you can include a bit of editing, such as:
Get different size formats already designed for your social networks such as TikTok or YouTube.
Superimpose the shots, keep them both in the same shot and even add a background if you want.
Cut out unwanted sections and adjust the duration
Using AI, it identifies when the users of the conversation are talking and alternates the shot. This functionality is in BETA phase, but it can certainly be very useful to get videos with very professional finishes.

2. Zencastr: Designed to record remote interviews, Zencastr records the audio locally on each device and uploads it once the recording is finished. This way, you are sure to get the best possible quality regardless of the internet connection. It also offers options for recording video and built-in editing tools.

To know how Zencastr works, you just have to follow some instructions, which are quite intuitive. Anyway, we'll explain the step-by-step process to start a podcast on this tool.
?? Go to Zencastr and sign up with your email.
?? Confirm your email address.
?? Once you log in, you'll appear on a dashboard.
To start a podcast, you'll need to click "Create a new episode" and name it.
?? After creating it, Zencastr will ask you for permission to use your microphone and camera.
?? You'll be presented with a new window where you can invite those who will be part of your podcast. You can do this through email invitations or simply by sending them the link.

?? Once you're all set, just hit the record button and you're good to go!
?? To save your episodes, you can connect a Dropbox or Google Drive account.
As you can see, it only takes a few simple steps to create a podcast through Zencastr. But what advantages will you get when starting a podcast with Zencastr?
4. Advantages of Zencastr
Unlike other podcast creation tools, Zencastr has a number of advantages, even in its free version. Therefore, the advantages of Zencastr may be one step above its closest rivals (we will talk about one of its main rivals later).

For now, we present the great advantages of Zencastr:
Hello, video!
As we mentioned above, Zoom is one of the tools that has been used the most to conduct interviews remotely. In fact, some podcasters have also used it to make their programs during this situation. Zencastr always had this in mind and last June launched a beta version of video podcasting exclusively for some users. Well, today it is already a reality. From Zencastr we can record the episode of a podcast in both audio and video. Without a doubt, one of the great advantages of Zencastr.
Double track for recordings
Another of the great advantages of Zencastr. With Zencastr you can record two audio tracks; that is, there will be a channel in which your voice will be recorded and another in which everything recorded by the interviewee or by your other panelist will be found.
This represents a great help for editing audio later.
Great saving system
As we told you, roughly speaking, above, Zencastr will give you the possibility of automatically saving your recordings in a Dropbox or Google Drive account, a factor that is very important for saving a backup copy of your episodes. I take this opportunity to tell you what the cloud is and how it works.
The best thing about it is that the files will be uploaded as the program progresses, which is a great help if your Internet connection is not the fastest. In any case, you can also configure the file to be saved only when the conversation has ended.
That said, it's time to talk about one of the most famous alternatives to Zencastr. Why should you choose Zencastr to start a podcast?
5. Zencastr vs. Skype
Skype is one of the most famous alternatives to Zencastr and a tool that, by the way, was widely used to conduct interviews remotely, to later place them in a podcast episode. However, we believe that there is a clear winner in the Zencastr vs. Skype duel. By the way, these are the best applications for virtual meetings.
The first K.O. by Zencastr has to do with sound quality. If we talk about podcasts, what should prevail, above all, is the sound and in Zencastr the quality of it is noticeably superior to that found in Skype. Even when both parties have a good Internet connection, the sound quality in Skype is quite poor.

Continuing with the Zencastr vs. Skype duel, this is another point in which the tool specially designed for podcasting has an advantage: recording. When recording on Skype, only one audio track will be saved, while in Zencastr, as we already mentioned, you can record on two tracks.
Regarding saving, when listening to the audio on Skype you might notice some cuts or delays, which will not happen in Zencastr due to its automatic saving function both in the cloud and on computers. Without a doubt, this advantage of Zencastr will help you improve the quality of your podcast when editing.

3. Adobe Audition: If you already have access to Adobe Creative Cloud, Audition is an excellent audio editing tool. Although it is not a video calling platform like the previous ones, it is ideal for editing high-quality recordings. It has advanced tools for noise reduction, compression, and equalization.

What can we do with Adobe Audition?
Once we know what Adobe Audition is and what this program is for, let's see what we can do with it. In addition to the tasks we have previously mentioned, such as recording, mixing and editing, another of its keys is mastering: a process that favors the total optimization of the sound, achieving a high-quality product.

The Adobe System company has always been concerned with the optimization of this application. Among the improvements that have been included are:
Reverb and noise removal effects. Reduce or eliminate reverb and background noise from recordings without noise impressions or complicated parameters with effective real-time effects from the Essential Sound panel.
Improve recording and playback performance. Play back over 128 audio tracks or record over 32 tracks with low latency, on typical workstations, and without expensive, proprietary, single-purpose hardware acceleration.
Improved multitrack user interface.
In-clip gain control and waveform scaling. Adjust audio without taking your eyes or mouse cursor off the content with in-clip gain adjustments. You can do this using a waveform that allows easy real-time scaling to adjust amplitude.
Add or remove empty tracks. Quickly add multiple audio tracks or clear out all unused audio tracks.
Zoom in time. Zoom in on specific durations with customizable presets.
Preset migration. When you update the application, Audition can import all third-party effects that have already been scanned in a previous version of Audition, as well as custom effect presets.
Adobe Audition Features
We've already covered some of the new features included in the latest version of Adobe Audition, but there are still many more features to mention! Let's list a few:
Clip Detection. Video previews in Audition update in real time when clips are added, moved, or trimmed, always showing users the right frame for a high degree of accuracy in time modifications or sound effects.
Automatic Music Downscaling. While working on a project, you can automatically generate a volume envelope to lower the level of music behind dialogue, sound effects, or any other audio clip using the Downscaling parameter in the Essential Sound panel.
Time Jump. Allows you to move to any point in the timeline.
Input Monitoring. Allows you to review the input coming from the recording device before you actually start recording.
Automatic Volume Correction. Adjusts the volume of audio clips and applies corrections to incorporate different volume standards and true peak limiting.
Audio Ripping from CDs. Rip selected CD tracks to a single file. How? Insert an audio CD and select File. Rip audio from CD. Select the tracks and activate Rip to single file.
What's the difference between Adobe Audition and Audacity?
Both are popular digital audio workstation software, allowing you to record, edit, and mix audio. But which one is right for you?
They both work on the same principles, but there are many differences between them.
Price. While Audacity is an open source program, Adobe Audition is subscription-based, so you pay a monthly or annual fee. Adobe Audition CC costs $29.99 per month (€19.66/month) and $239.88 per year (€108/year).
Adobe also offers an All Apps package, which gives you access to over 20 apps (including Audition, Photoshop, and Illustrator).
Ease of Use. While the two are very similar in terms of their core features, Audition looks slicker. Although it may be more intimidating for a beginner, Audacity looks more basic, but this will appeal to many people just starting out.
Editing and Mixing. Audition is more robust than Audacity when it comes to creating an episode. Especially if you are working with a lot of files.
Multitrack. Working with multiple tracks is known as Multitrack mode. If you stop recording and start recording again, Audacity will automatically create a new track below your original. Audition, on the other hand, will focus on only one audio track at a time, until you specifically select the Multitrack option (under the main toolbar.)
