"Reliable, easy-to-use platform backed up by attentive customer service"
What do you like best about Riverside?

An economical podcast/meeting platform that affords excellent sound quality for remote interviews, easy to use for both host and guests, and not affected by faltering internet. Also friendly and prompt tech support.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I haven't experienced any negative issues using Riverside.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reliable hosting for remote podcast interviews, providing tracks that are not affected by any intermittent internet outages, and the superior audio quality makes it sound like host and guest(s) are in the same room. The Riverside team is also very responsive to technical queries through their messenger service. There was a sound issue in a recent podcast between Australia and the UK, some persistent background static resulting from a guest's mic malfunction and not related to Riverside's platform. Riverside's tech support team was able to identify the problem straight away, and the response to my query was courteous and fast.

"Great Tech!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The interface is really clean and easy but the rock star part is that it is recording at the best quality that can be recorded by everyone's device/phone/web cam. The highest quality video is so necessary and other platforms do not use that. Then you add in that it is very affordable, keeps your library in the cloud and can be accessed quickly. it works!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

If you are using a phone to record you do need the app. Also, huge problem, you cannot tell if a person recording on the phone is in vertical or landscape mode. I have got burned by that before.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to record interviews where the producer is off-camera. This is so easy for the guests to use it does not scare them away from shooting with us.

"The Best Podcast Recording Software"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside is the easiest tool to record podcasts and videos in studio quality (I mean video and audio quality) from anywhere with just the browser and local recording up to 4K video resolution.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Nothing much to hate about Riverside. Maybe just a minor fix with the audio quality since there are times when the audio needs to be edited or remixed due to some echoing. Hopefully, Riverside can detect that during recording and warn/advise.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

The overall production of the podcast is rooted in the audio and video output from Riverside. This is the foundation of the podcast. Even when the internet connection is poor while recording, the video quality will always be smooth and freeze-free.

"Excellent Product, Unparalleled Customer Service"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside's wav quality files and sleek user interface make my client-facing job easy. I provide them with quality mics and headphones, they provide the content.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I wish that the price point was lower, but I appreciate the tiered options. I also wish they could figure out a way around wonky internet connections, but that's on the ISP end of things.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a podcast producer. The separate wav files for each speaker allows for a seamless sound and easy editing. I can manage multiple projects and clients in a single platform.

"Best online recording studio for podcasts and recorded webinars!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riversidefm offers the ability to record full HD tracks for each of the meeting members and separately for the shared screen. The video quality is excellent for pre-recorded webinars. The fact that each video comes synced with its own audio track (yes, you also get individual audio tracks!) is a great benefit as it allows us editors to clean the background audio while a guest isn't speaking. We also love the background noise reduction feature as some guests on our show won't have external microphones.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There isn't much to dislike. The one little thing that bugged us, in the beginning, was the guest URL but once we had that figured out, our studio is super easy to use.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're saving so much time in post-production since we get individual audio tracks for each speaker which allows us to early master the audio tracks. The quality of our pre-recorded lessons has increased dramatically with the support of 1080p recording.

"The best solution for remote podcasting"
What do you like best about Riverside?

My favorite thing about Riverside.fm is how easy it is for me to get other guests onboard. The ease of use by sending a single link and eliminating any sort of download or installation makes for the barrier of entry easy for those that are less tech-savvy.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

If I had to pick anything, it would be that sometimes you need to leave the browser open to finish the uploads. I'm really digging deep to find a con, here.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've been able to produce panel-style discussions with individuals in three different time zones at the same time. The audio clarity and video quality is better than anything else we've seen.

"Amazing, cost-effective solution for podcast recording"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside is incredibly easy to use, cost-effective, and produces high-quality recordings. We record routinely with older guests who aren't super tech-savvy, but they've had no issues logging in and getting connected. I'm a huge fan of this platform and all of the features it has to offer!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Honestly, there's not much I dislike here. We've occasionally had some issues with guest audio/video not uploading quickly after the recording finishes, but Riverside makes it easy for guests to go back to a link after they leave the studio to finish uploading at a later time.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before finding Riverside, our team had struggled to find a consistent way to record high-quality podcasts. We had used Zoom, but the quality was just abysmal. Downloading and uploading recordings was difficult, and our editors had to spend forever cleaning up the audio. We couldn't even release video of the recordings because it was unusable. After we switched to Riverside, we were blown away by the difference in quality and ease of use.

"Best recording for Remote Podcasts"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The native audio AND video recording feature.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Bit on the pricier side, but it is worth it.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Remote podcasting through zoom or skype is super compressed, and the quality is lacking even with the best of internet speeds. Sure zencastr and squadcast have native audio recording, but they lack a working video recording aspect. Just locked behind betas, whereas with riverside.fm they've had it the entire time, and I am able to get high quality video on both ends. #doubleender

"Excellent. Affordable. Versatile."
What do you like best about Riverside?

We use Riverside.fm for high-res, remote video recording. Guests log on easily, look and sound great, and I can edit quickly and utilize various enhancements, which are constantly being expanded. The video quality is amazing when using an iPhone's back-side camera. Sometimes I export a PremierePro timeline, which allows more complex editing, too. We also have a corporate Zoom account, but there's simply no comparison. Support and tutorials are great, too.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Sometimes guests are apprehensive about loading yet another app on their phone, but I assure them it's a reputable, trustworthy app they can delete after the recording. I wish there was an internal background generator, so I could customize it within the app instead of creating my own in PS and uploading it.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are quick to respond via chat and e-mail, and even quickly fixed an issue with a multi-person recording that went out of sync. They've also given personalized support and tips for improving my recordings and guests' experiences.

"Best Video Conferencing & Webinar , Video Calling Application."
What do you like best about Riverside?

It has many features, including a chat option and a call-in option for making video calls inside the Webinar. I used it 4-5 times in a month. It is a very easy-to-use application. The organization, I am doing work with has integrated it into their APIs, very easily. Customer Support & care is quite impressive. Overall Best application in its category.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Very less features as compared to other applications, with no option for a webcam except the In-call feature. Not good for the Online (face-to-face-webcam) type of video conferencing, as only the In-call feature is there as compared with different apps.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Yes, It is helping the Organization, to host online events. Benefitting the organization in content creation. Different guests had arrived, and Riverside.fm helped in screen and video capture, including screen sharing, In-call feature, etc.

"Create a high quality video podcast with ease"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Great to repurpose content for Social Media and edit content in Adobe Premier Pro, however, I like to be able to edit podcast content in Adobe Audition and video in Adobe Rush, as I am not a Pro user. Also easy to monitor the guest microphone and camera. The best part is that the content is uploaded to iCloud. Also, I like to be able to mark the video and capture some special moments for clips. Customer support is excellent and available all the time.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

So far only thing that did not regularly work as expected was uploading content that was produced elsewhere. Could not figure yet how to manually create short clips.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease of multi-purposing content, at great quality.

"Best podcast platform on the market"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside is easy to use as both the host and a guest. The video and audio upload in realtime, so I don't worry about losing anything. I am a huge fan of Magic Clip when I make promotional content.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

One downside is that my content didn't save when I was using a new camera, but it actually may have been an issue with my laptop.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside is on the cutting edge when it comes to transciption and AI generated content, such as Magic Clips.

"Riverside takes my podcasting to PRO level!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I love the fact that i get the highest quality video+audio experience possible, regardless of me and my interviewee's connection. I love all the magic tools to help me create short clips with subs, immediately after I finish recording. I love the integration with calendly, it makes my life easier... and I love the cool features in the studio.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The price is a bit expensive :) if it was cheaper it would make my experience perfect. On a separate note, one of my interviewees had a weird error message that her browser ran out of memory, and she can't continue recording. It was a strange error that never happened to me before and it created a bad experience for us both...

a professional podcasting platform, that is completely designed to answer a modern podcaster's needs. Zoom is not a good alternative if you want to take it to the next level.

"Stupid Questions Podcast w/ Seth Hill"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The ease of setting up a studio and inviting the guests. As well, I enjoy the framrate settings and hz settings for quality/speed sake. I also really like the magic clips creator, but wish it would make more based on a timeframe you give it within the episode.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I do wish it didn't cost as much to get 4 more frames per second and the highest bit rate possible. Otherwise, it's been great. Sometimes the audio from the guest echos at times, even with "echo setting" turned on or off, so that is my only issue at times.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's allows me to make 90% of my episodes in one place and have a place to refer back when I need to create/edit or pull content.

"An incredible resource for podcast hosts"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside.fm provides an incredible resource for me, ensuring incredible quality video and audio recordings for both me and my podcast guests. Where Zoom only ensures the quality of my audio and video, Riverside.fm allows me to guarantee that every one of my guests will also look and sound great.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Although I love the editing option within Riverside.fm, I wish it was more robust and allowed for me to zoom in and delete things at a micro level to allow for an even better listening experience for my followers.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside.fm is allowing me to put together a podcast where I host interviews with other authors, resulting in clear, quality audio and video.

"Great recording (and editing) experience with helpful new features being added constantly"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside nails the table stakes of this type of platform: local recording, availability of compressed and uncompressed files of individual tracks, and streaming backup (if something local goes wrong). But, it also makes it very easy to spin up captioned video snippets of the show for use in promotion across multiple platforms—from the auto-detecting "Magic Clips" (big timesaver) to the ability to adjust the aspect ratio of the video and even do some layout adjustments to do things like add the show's logo right into the generated snippet.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There can occasionally be glitches with getting the audio and video working for a guest. To be clear, this is rare, and it's a small miracle that that is the case! We've never had a case where we haven't been able to get this working with a little fiddling.

What problems is Riverside solving and how is that benefiting you?

Riverside.fm is the foundation of how we generate raw content for our podcast. Having been producing the bi-weekly show for just under 9 years, we've gone through multiple platforms. Our switch to Riverside.fm, when we did, was driven by the platforms ability to handle more than 4 total participants. But, since we've switched, we realized it also opened up our ability to move into something we'd wanted to do for a long time but had not done because of the time required: producing short video clips of the show.
