How to Use Group Recording Using the Podbean App

Group recording lets you record an audio podcast episode with co-hosts and guests by simply using the Podbean app. You can invite up to eight guests to join you during your recording. Once completed, you’ll receive both a single mp3 cloud recording for your whole session, as well as individual local recordings of you and each of your co-hosts. Traditionally, the sound quality of each host and the overall recording in a remote interview or virtual recording decreases due to network issues. Podbean’s Group Recording function allows you to get clear, high quality individual recordings of each host, as these recordings are recorded locally on each host’s smartphone. Your co-hosts recording audio quality is not affected by the internet connection. After the recording session is completed, you can get each speaker's local audio recording in your Podbean account media manager and merge them into a master file using your DAW audio software of choice.
