Back when I started my podcast, if I wanted clear, uncompressed audio that didn’t have that random robot voice you’d get from an unstable connection, I’d need to do a few things:

1. Use Skype + eCamm Recorder (RIP) to record my audio cleanly.
2. Send my guest clear instructions on how to record their audio with either Quicktime on the Mac, or Voice Recorder on Windows.
3. Walk through the process with my guest to make sure they’re getting clean audio (that is, audio with no echo).
4. Still record a backup, just in case.
5. Give my guests a place where they could upload the audio.
6. Painstakingly sync the audio when I combined them in GarageBand or Audacity.

Things are different now. Now, we have Riverside.
