Welder, a Czech based startup, founded by Johan Cutych, aims to improve the output quality of “live” audio & video recordings, particularly where dual remote participation is required, such as remote interviews for podcasts. Millions of bloggers & news Sites rely on video/audio Content to highlight their posts. Every day there are new podcast Websites being born. However, especially in the field of podcasting, much Content is subpar particularly where remote interviews are concerned. Welder aims to provide the tools to improve the end product for this category of Content creators.
Ease of setup is vitally important when it comes to recording “live” interviews. Welder claims to be well positioned, as a browser based tool, to offer a perfect solution to this problem. With Welder, there is no clumsy software to download the tool works entirely in-browser. Users simply need to sign up on Welder’s Website, initiate a session & hit record. Welder works via Google’s Chrome & Microsoft’s Edge on both Mac & Windows computers.
The software records video & audio to a users’ local device & subsequently uploads the file, in real time, to the Cloud. This ensures premium audio quality since the stream is not recorded via the Internet. Also, this system offers the user 2 audio/video files & they can always use the backup from the Cloud if they lose their recording. Welder records a separate audio file even if the original Content is a video & they produce a transcript with timestamps for editing reference as well.
No special equipment is necessary to start recording on the Welder platform, a computer’s camera & microphone are sufficient. However, for the best results Welder does recommend a quality purpose-built microphone & headphones, which ensure better audio reception & the elimination of background noise.
No credit card is required to test out Welder & the first 30 minutes of recording is free. Thereafter, one needs to subscribe to a plan. The team behind Welder have put thought & effort into creating a platform that will assist users who want to create professional audio & video Content; they’ve even included a podcast preparation template to help creators format a timeline for their podcasts productions.
So if you’re interested in producing live interviews, both in audio or video format, check out Welder.
