"Riverside Summertime"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside has given my team access to a new method of recording where our guests for the podcast we produce can feel comfortable in terms of security/privacy and quality.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Riverside is sometimes confusing at first for people unfamiliar with the platform, which requires me to explain it thoroughly.

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

The audio quality is significantly superior when using Riverside compared to recording via a digital meeting app like Zoom or Teams.

"The best I've used"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I came from a competitor (zencastr) and just fell in love with Riverside. The UX is wonderful. The production tools are great. The reliability is great. The support is great. This is the tool you need if you are a remote podcaster.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

The ability to record high def even though the internet usually fights against that. Plus there is LED meters to make sure you're getting high quality recordings. This was something I didn't have with my last provider, and my recordings came out different volumes. Here you can monitor.

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

It's making high quality podcasting possible without expensive hardware. With this package, you have everything you could possibly need to produce your own podcast or Youtube content.

"I've ALREADY recommended Riverside.fm!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I like how the quality is always stellar as it's saved on each guest's device first then uploaded. That way, even with a bad WIFI connection, the end result is still professional. I'm also really loving the Magic Clips feature they're not testing. It's SO HELPFUL in making short clips of any conversation!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

Not being able to blur the background or add a different background is probably the feature that needs most improvement, in my opinion. It also is a bit intimidating for guests that aren't comfortable with tech to use. Although the directions are pretty straight forward!

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

It makes it easy for amateur video editors to make high quality videos ANS SHORTER CLIPS! It's great. It makes it easy and quick. I even had someone message me complementing my video for its quality. I immediately recommended riverside.fm!

"High quality video recording for podcast and interviews"
What do you like best about Riverside?

I've been using Riverside both for video podcasting and for conducting customer interviews for market research purposes. I love that it records audio and video locally to both my computer as the host and the guest's computer. This ensures that there is no lag in the final output. The video quality is 720 and looks really sharp.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I've noticed that when there are more than 2 people being recorded, that it can become quite laggy--more delay than with something like Google Meet. That being said, these problems can be mitigated by turning on some of the low data tools.

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

It's solving the problem of getting a final video output from a podcast interview that is free of digital lagging or audio issues (since it's being recorded to each user's local machine and uploaded to the cloud afterward.)

"High quality remote recording and extremely easy to use"
What do you like best about Riverside?

Riverside.fm is intuitive. It was easy to learn and easy to use. It helped us create high-quality recordings for our project. The user interface is clean and everything seems to be in the proper place. I tried other popular remote recording programs and Riverside was the easiest to use and gave us great results.

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I can't think of any downsides to Riverside.fm. It was easy to learn and produced great results. If there is any room for improvement, I might suggest an editing feature built into the platform. I use Descript to edit my projects and find that really helpful for editing conversations.

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

Riverside helps us create high-quality recordings for our audio projects. It allowed for us to easily capture our interview content without putting the burden of figuring out the tech on our clients. Not one of the dozen or so interviewees had any trouble accessing the program and figuring out how to use it.

"I am very pleased with Riverside - They are always growing and innovating!"
What do you like best about Riverside?

The relaibility of the local recordings is amazing! I have had interviews completely drop out, but the files are always safe. I sometimes have guests who request that I use Zoom, and I am always amazed at how much Riverside is better suited for Podcasters. I also find that they are constantly adding new features. Just today I noticed the "Script" feature which allows you to have a script above the screen which is great for doing an ad read while maintaining your eye line. I also love the integration with Premiere Pro and using the markers that transfer over to my Premiere project. It is a great product!

What do you dislike about Riverside?

I have had a few issues where my voice gets out of sync from the video. I am using an SM7B through a Tascam Mixcast 4 into Riverside and ProTools simultaneously, so maybe that is causing an issue..but I just bump it over by about 8 frames in Premiere when editing the video and it isn't a huge issue. The guest is never out of sync, just me. The customer service is always great so they are quick to help you with any issues.

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

I used to have to provide a long list of instructions for people to do a local recording on Zoom, but Riversdie has completely eliminated that. It is the easiest and most professional platform to just have the guest log on, and get started. All the features throughout are specifically designed for podcasting and it is a premium experience for everyone involved.
