Weekly review cw 27
My experience report of the online creation studio Riverside – the first attempts to record the Server Side Stories episodes remotely.
Podcasts with Riverside – a recap
Two episodes with guests are planned for the beginning of next week. In contrast to the first attempt with our guest Stefan Bothe, these episodes will be recorded remotely. We wanted to select and test a tool in advance. A test run like this saved us from the worst.
We found the best sound quality with Riverside. Accordingly, we used it for our first attempt. Everything seems intuitive and logical. Maurice set up the trial account and rolled out the "red carpet" for the recording. To give me as many rights as possible, he invited me as a producer.
After about 60 minutes of recording, the episode was done – or so we thought. Maurice's video and audio were available. My video and audio, however, were not. They weren't even in the cloud backup. After conducting some research, we gained an understanding of what was happening. And on the second attempt with the invitation via the web interface, it became clear why there was no recording of me.
The subtle difference between the app and the web could have saved us from the problem. As a producer, the invitation means I can work in the background, but I'm not part of the recording process. That was an incredibly frustrating experience.
Fortunately, that was the only negative experience using Riverside. The other recordings worked perfectly. The result is of the highest quality. The transcript is in German and also fantastic. There are also shorts that we can use for YouTube. This enables us to expand our social media strategy, and we're happy to invest in the comprehensive Pro features.
Reduced sports program
I'm currently dissatisfied with my athletic efforts. Due to the heat in the middle of the week, I was so exhausted in the evenings that I couldn't get on the yoga mat. I tell myself that this rest period should be after the active period from April to June. As the digital yoga teacher preaches, allow it and be grateful.
