If you’re looking to invest in a commercial podcast studio, it’s important to know what you should be looking for from a potential studio designer and builder.
Podcasts are huge right now, offering the potential for your business and brand to reach new audiences on a much more personal level.
Your podcasting studio will be the driving force behind your recording, determining the quality of your episodes and how well they resonate with your audiences. A quality podcast studio will combine next-level design, pitch-perfect acoustics and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver industry-leading podcasts.
So how do you research and choose the right commercial podcast studio designer? Do you need to source a studio designer and studio builder separately? What are the skills required to deliver a quality commercial studio for your business?
This blog will answer all these questions and set out the key elements of a quality podcast studio design and build company.
The Benefits Of A Complete Design & Build Package
When specifying a commercial podcast studio, the process can be split into two key parts: the design stage and the build stage.
Whilst it is possible to have two independent parties work on each stage, it is always advised to seek out a complete design and build package. By hiring two separate companies, there is a wide range of complications that can arise including lack of communication, delays, technical issues and higher costs.
By partnering with an all-in-one podcast design and build consultant, you are assisted through one single source, ensuring that there is a golden thread that links every part of the process together seamlessly.
To keep things simple and efficient, whilst keeping costs low, seek out a studio designer that can deliver consultation, design, manufacture and installation in one synchronous service.
The Power Of Sonic Performance For Your Commercial Podcast Studio
From background noise to frequency response inconsistencies, there are a whole range of audio-related issues which can negatively impact your podcast quality. Despite how much you spend on quality equipment, it’ll only ever be as good as the room you house it in.
When choosing a studio design and build company, it’s critical that you look for experts with a background in audio-related fields, such as music production, podcasts or radio. Expertise in sound engineering and sonics will go a long way to creating a professional leading podcast studio for your business.
Processes such as acoustic treatment and soundproofing, are by their nature very technical and should only be carried out by trained acousticians to avoid future audio issues or extra costs.
Design-Led Commercial Podcast Studios
To set your podcast apart, your podcast studio should be optimised not only for audio but aesthetics too. With a growing trend of video-format podcasting, the look and feel of your studio will be key to establishing your business’s brand identity and the tone of your podcast episodes.
By seeking out design-led podcast studio consultants, your final studio will not only astonish through its audio content but impress visually too.
Partnering with the same design and build consultant from beginning to end means you can achieve the look of your dream studio, whilst not compromising on its technical proficiency.
What’s more, if your business plans on hosting guests on your podcast, it’s important that the studio sets the right mood and instils a feeling of easiness and comfort for the hosts and guests of the podcast.
Sustainable & Reliable Commercial Podcast Studios
As global efforts to combat the effects of global warming continue to gain traction, businesses are under more and more pressure to demonstrate their sustainable business processes and systems.
When looking for a podcast studio design and build partner, it’s important to consider their approaches to sustainability and ensure they align with that of your own business.
Sustainably sourced products materials and net zero strategies are all ways in which you can be assured that the design and build of your commercial podcast studio does not negatively affect your own business’s ESG initiatives.
Finally, pay close attention to customer testimonials and success stories when choosing the perfect studio design consultant. By partnering with a tried and tested design and build consultant, the potential disruption to your business’s day-to-day is mitigated, as well as a myriad of potential future issues and delays.
