In the fast-paced world of podcasting, creating high-quality content efficiently is key to success. Melrose Podcasts, a cutting-edge podcast studio, understands this better than most. Melrose Podcasts has recorded for Barstool, NPR, Michael Rappaport, Hannah Berner, Adam Ray, Harry Jowsey, Call Her Daddy, Unlicensed Therapy, and many more. Its success in the podcasting world has allowed the company to recently expand from Los Angeles to a new flagship location in New York City. Now, both studios are busy recording with some of the most noteworthy names in podcasts.
To help elevate its podcasting game, Melrose Podcasts is using an ATEM Mini Pro ISO live production switcher at each of its locations. Implementing the switchers has streamlined the production process, from focus checking to live streaming and backup recording.
According to Ari Mannis, producer at Melrose Podcasts, the versatile ATEM Mini Pro ISO allows them to switch among multiple HDMI sources, making it ideal for managing camera angles, audio sources, and more. What sets the switcher apart is its ability to record each source independently.
One of the challenges in podcasting is ensuring that camera shots are perfectly framed and focused. Traditionally, podcasters had to rely on the small screens of their cameras, making it difficult to spot imperfections. Melrose Podcasts has overcome this hurdle by using the ATEM Mini Pro ISO to display camera feeds on a large TV at each of its studios. This allows for precise focus checking and framing, ensuring that each shot looks its best before recording begins. Additionally, this setup serves as a handy tool for showing clients the planned shots, increasing transparency and collaboration.
In the unpredictable world of podcasting, technical glitches can occur at any time. To safeguard against potential disasters, Melrose Podcasts utilizes the ATEM Mini Pro ISOs’ backup recording features. The switchers can simultaneously record each camera feed and audio source independently at 1080p resolution, so should any issues arise during the live recording, the team can rely on these backups to salvage the podcast, preventing the loss of valuable content.
Live streaming has become an integral part for many podcasters, allowing creators to connect with their audience in real-time. The ATEM Mini Pro ISO enhances Melrose Podcasts’ live streaming capabilities with its USB that operates as a webcam source. While the computer thinks it’s a simple webcam, it’s actually a full ATEM Mini Pro ISO live production switcher. This means Melrose Podcasts can deliver professional-quality video to its viewers, providing a more engaging and visually appealing live experience.
In the podcasting world, time is often of the essence. When faced with tight schedules and minimal post-production time, Melrose Podcasts relies on the ATEM Mini Pro ISO to make real-time cuts during live recordings. This eliminates the need for extensive editing in post-production, resulting in faster turnaround times and a more efficient workflow.
