The Podcast Studio on the 2nd floor of the Marsio building is a self-service facility dedicated to audio podcasts. It can be used by any Aalto University people and is bookable via Aalto Takeout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Bring your own USB-C drive and\/or microSD card for recording<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We use a R\u00f8de Podcaster 2 audio interface for recording. Files are recorded to your external drive or microSD card, as the device has no internal storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A USB-C drive is usually more convenient in all environments, such as editing, so we recommend using one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to use an microSD card, you’ll need a fast card<\/strong>, capable of at least 100 MB\/s <\/strong>transfer rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cards are really small and are often sold with an adapter that fits a larger SD reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#protip: remember to take your card with you when leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Maximum safety<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use both<\/strong>. The interface can record to multiple outputs simultaneously<\/strong><\/em>, so using a two-tier strategy is recommended in case one output device suffers data loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data loss is rare, but we have had a couple of cases, and that’s a couple too much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
