In this episode we debate the optimum way to upload a final podcast. Should it be in mono or stereo? How does having music included or simply a 30 second intro impact your decision on a stereo or mono recording.
What do you think? Stereo or mono?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
For Me, If the Podcasts is only pure talk (no music etc.) Use Mono, but if the podcasts contains music, use Stereo to enhance quality and separation of left and right channels.
As someone who is deaf in one ear, stereo is unnecessary and makes podcasts inaccessible.
I never listen to podcasts with both ears. I want to know what’s going on around me without disturbing others. Chalk me up on the board for MONO.
I would argue that stereo could be used for a tiny bit more “interesting” experience. I would consider using stereo to just slightly make one person a bit louder to the left, and the other person louder to the right. It should barely be noticeable, and still allow for listening with just one earbud.
I’m just beginning to do some research in to this question before starting my own podcast, so please correct me if I’m wrong or if you have another opinion. 🙂
