How to Choose the Best Poddster Studio for Your Podcast
The right studio depends on your show format, visual style, and the number of people you plan to feature. All Poddster studios can be configured for solo podcasts or creators, so if you plan on recording alone, pick a studio based on location and the type of visuals you want. All Poddster studios can also accommodate a minimum of 2 people; however, Exec, Onyx, Edge and Peak are designed specifically with one-on-one interviews in mind. If you and your guest would prefer to be seated at a table, Onyx, Edge, and Peak are ideal. Exec is the better choice if you'd prefer to be seated in armchairs. For any recording featuring 3-4 people, Eden, Nest, Cove, and Apex are your best option. If you want a more colorful aesthetic, pick Eden. For warm, bright visuals, choose Nest. For a moodier vibe, you'll do well with Cove or Apex. If you're recording with 5 people, Apex is specificaly designed for this. All studios include a dedicated operator, Sony FX-series cameras, Shure SM7dB microphones, live mixing, and the option to add editing, teleprompter, short-form clips, and session photos.
