HOT TO MAXIMIZE GOOD SOUND AS A REMOTE GUEST
Thanks for being a guest on One80. We look forward to hearing your story and sharing it with our listeners! Here are some simple instructions for setting up. Make sure to star the email that came from Squadcast/One80 so you can access it at recording time.
Internet
The best is wired instead of Wifi. If you can be at a computer/laptop that you can ethernet wire to the modem that’s going to be the best internet. If that isn’t an option, Google “Internet Speed Test” or go here https://www.speedtest.net/ and run a speed test on your internet Wifi. Squadcast needs at least 10 mbps upload and download in order for internet to not be spotty.
Location
If you can, it’s best to be in a room where there are textiles to absorb sound and not a lot of windows, which will cause an echo. But I just told you to plug in to the ethernet. So decide what works for you! You can put a pillow on your lap or behind your laptop for more sound absorption. You also should pay attention to ambient noises you’ve never noticed before, like a fridge or fan. They will sound with a very loud hum in a recording! Turn off things that tend to make noise. You also want to make sure that the background is not ugly, like a door; we are being recorded video and audio. Bookshelves are always a nice backdrop. If you find that you don’t have a suitable location with a pretty background AND good internet, no problem! We can green screen you.
