"Riverside Is Amazing"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside has been the best thing that we've found for our podcast. It records us no matter where we are in the world with unbelievable clarity and ease, and we can turn around episodes quickly. We also love the ability we have to clip videos for our social channels, which helps us promote even more easily.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There really are no downsides! Everything works extremely well and the software is reliable. We tell everybody about it.

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

We are co-hosts of a podcast and we're in different places. Before, we would chat over Google Meet and record to our local machines, but it took FOREVER to line up the audio and the quality was sometimes bad. Now we just pop in Riverside, record our episodes, edit for clarity and conciseness, and publish. It's really streamlined our production.

"The Only Podcast Platform You Need"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I've used a lot of different podcast platforms to record, edit, capture video, etc... and pretty much all of them compromise in some area, except Riverside.fm. The system itself is really easy to use and I've had great feedback from guests on how easy it was to join sessions. I record a lot with guests so the experience for them is really important and in some other systems that I've used, there was a lot more lifting on their end than there should be. There's nothing worse than trying to trouble shoot some sort of weird glitch that prevents their camera or mics from connecting and so far that's never happened on Riverside and I am confident it won't.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I honestly don't have any dislikes. The only minor gripe is that when you click to download files it can be a bit confusing as to when they're actually available and if you go back to the page or is it a seperate page. It took a few downloads to figure it out. Extremely minor detail and probably me being super nitpicky.

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

The biggest challenge I had making my podcast and video podcast was the fact that it took many different platforms to accomplish what I was trying to do. I was using one system for capturing video, using my Rodcaster Pro for audio, another for editing, another for clips, another for transcribing, and it was getting ridiculous. I'm now using Riverside for everything but final editing, only because I insert ads, intro/outro, and export for hosting. It's saved me a ton of money and time to only have one spot to do the majority of the process.

I absolutely love working with Riverside.fm! Their platform is easy to use and any issues that I've had were quickly taken care of by staff. Since they've integrated ai and the ability to create shorts I've been able to streamline services in my business to create blog posts, short form content for social media and save money!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There were a couple times when moments of a recording were missing however, technical issues I've had, we're quickly investigated and resolved by staff. They really go above and beyond.

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

Since working with Riverside.fm, I have been able to consistently produce high quality podcast episodes with people from all over the world, I've been able to use the transcripts to create compelling blog posts and now the short form content has allowed me to eliminate other services and streamline my workflow while saving money!

"Very happy with Riverside"
What do you like best about Riverside?

There are quite many things I like about Riverside.fm. I currently use it for recording my podcast. I love how the end-product looks like and sounds like while it is so easy to record. I also love the AI generated clips, provided from Riverside. Just love it!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I have not come across anything I dislike about Riverside.fm. I am 100% happy with Riverside and highly recommend it. I did some extensive research on which platform to use to record my Podcast and am very happy I chose Riverside.fm

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

It is solving the problem I would have using Zoom, where the recording quality depends on the internet speed. I record a Podcast together with a friend and just love how easy it is to get a great result and high quality video and audio.

"My go-to platform for podcast interviews and video recording!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The quality, by far! As a podcaster, audio quality is a major piece and Riverside definitely delivers here. I've tested other platforms that do this same thing, but nothing matches the kind of Audio (and video) quality for an 'over-the-internet' type of setup. It's also amazing to see Riverside continuing to push the envelop and constantly be updated and adding new features that make my job as a creator SO MUCH EASIER!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The editing side of Riverside isn't perfect and can be a little cumbersome at times. That said, they have been steady implementing updates making it easier and easier to record AND edit all in one platform.

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

Quality is the biggest problem Riverside solves. I know many people use Zoom for this type of thing, but the quality doesn't even pale in comparison to what you get from Riverside. Their new Magic Clips feature is also a huge time-saver when it comes to pulling short-form content from the long-form videos. I can't wait to see how this new feature continues to evolve.

"Always improving and adding useful features"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside has made it so easy to export quality audio that is cleaned up and leveled. They also made it so easy to generate clips through AI -- It automatically creates clips and then generates great titles without any work. It makes social promotion so much easier.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I can do most of my basic editing right inside Riverside, but when it comes down to small, detailed edits, I prefer to export the file and do that somewhere else. However, I have no doubt that they will improve the editing features inside Riverside. They seem to always be imrpoving.

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

Riverside has made it easy to capture and clean up reliable audio. They have also made it incredibly easy to grab clips for social promotion -- Their Magic Clips feature is amazing. Lastly, I love having one universal link for my studio instead of a new link for every episode recording.

"Riverside is smooth like butter"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The thing I like best about Riverside is that it makes it easy for every person involved to produce good quality video. Rather than relying on the quality of the Internet stream, it does what all computers can do, and record the video to the hard drive.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Actually, there was one thing that I was going to say I didn't like, but after today, that is no longer the case. I grew up doing a lot of video editing, and Riverside's timeline did not allow me to zoom in on the timeline when I needed to make a precise, edit. Low and behold, I login today and they have added that feature. These guys keep getting better.

"Highly recommend Riverside.fm"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I've hosted virtual summits in the past and we always used Zoom. This time, we used Riverside.fm and were amazed by how much the audio was improved. Overall, Riverside.fm was easy to use and reliable. I also love how it generates transcripts (saving us time and money, as we didn't have to invest in another program in order to create transcripts). Whether you have a podcast or are hosting a virtual event, I'd highly recommend trying Riverside.fm.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

There was one interview where I was suddenly kicked out of the room - this only happened once (out of 21 interviews). I was able to get back in and pick up where we left off, but it was less than ideal.

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

Riverside.fm gave us a great way to easily record interviews. We could have recorded both audios and videos, but only used audios for this project. It was easy to record and we came away with high-quality audios. I also really appreciate how it generates transcripts that we can easily edit and use.

"Quality product, terrific support!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The recording quality is excellent! I also appreciate the instructional videos. I'm new to podcasting - viewing them helped me create a great program.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I can only reserve each studio for a single recording session. I'd like to schedule more. Also, the invitation function doesn't allow me to use my local time zone.

I don't have a technical background. Using Riveraide enables me to record a quality podcast without worrying about the recording quality or other technical issues.

"Riverside takes the stress out of recording remote interviews."
What do you like best about Riverside?

I'ts built with video interview for podcasts and youtube in mind and makes it incredibly easy to generate social media snippets of your content. The editing capabilities are pretty decent for basic editing as well. Today I recorded an interview and the connection was so poor I was terrified that I'd have to rerecord it. But thanks to Riverside's local recording the end result was perfect!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The only thing I'd improve is that when I have edited an interview for export and want to create another clip I have to edit every thing once again. I'd love to be able to reuse the edit and export it in different formats. But it's a minor inconvinience.

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

All I have to do is send a guest the studio link and in 90% of the cases it requires very little setup with the guest if they have a camera and microphone already set up. I can simply hit record and Riverside records each audio and video feed locally, uploading them as we record and after the interview is completed.
