Quotes

“With Riverside or Zencastr, you’re recording locally, so you would be recording on your computer, and I would be recording on mine.  It would be doing it automatically through your internet browser, and then in the end, once we’re done, I can just go through and pull those down, and I have a local video that isn’t compressed.  It’s higher quality, both audio and video.” (9:07)

“We’ve experienced it time and time again, where the internet drops out or we have some buffering or whatever else, and now all that digital noise that comes through – like what you would typically get in a Zoom call – You do not get that when it comes to Riverside and Zencastr.” (10:16)

“[With Riverside and Zencastr], the nice thing is, you’re not jumping to some level that’s really complicated.  It’s within your browser.  You’re not asking anyone to record anything on their end...And on your end, it’s not a whole lot different either.  You’re mostly just having to hit record and then download the files at the end.  And to have that amount of quality at such a user friendly experience, I just love that.”  (12:58)

“When you’re recording [with Zoom], it is what you see.  So if you are in speaker view to where when I start speaking, the camera turns on to me, that’s what you’re recording...One of the beautiful things about Zencastr and Riverside are recording separate tracks.” (13:29)

“[With Riverside], you do have the option for post-processing on the back end, which is actually really cool.  So if you are a solo production house, and you are wanting to just have [your] interview leveled out...you can actually have that done on the back end.” (24:38)
