Welcome to Untold Stories Recordings. We’re here to capture your conversation with clarity and warmth, helping podcasters create engaging episodes with state-of-the-art equipment.
Our Podcast Recording Process
Recording a podcast is about capturing the flow of your discussion. Here’s how we make it happen in our Chicago studio:
-
- Studio Setup: We create a quiet, comfortable environment with optimal acoustics in our sound proof and professionally treated booth to ensure your voices shine. Think of it as the perfect stage for your podcast.
-
- Microphone Selection: We choose from our premium mics, usually a Neumann U87, to match each speaker’s tone, whether it’s bold and dynamic or calm and conversational. Mic positioning is fine-tuned for clarity.
-
- Recording: Using our analog gear like our Neve preamps we will use EQ and a bit of 76 compression to capture peaks and a WA2A to glue it all together, we capture clean, high-quality audio. Our focus is on raw recordings that sound professional straight out of the booth.
Simplified Recording Process
Multiple Voices: We accommodate up to two speakers, setting up premium mics for each. We record a live take of both speakers together.
Note: We offer in-person recording only, with no Zoom or phone call options. We do not provide filming; you’ll need to bring your own film crew if video is required.
