Zoom is a great web conferencing application that has become the standard communication tool for many companies. We have a lot of clients that sometimes prefer to use zoom for their podcasts, since it’s a platform they’re already familiar with.

If you plan to get your podcast audio edited/mixed/enhanced by a professional production studio, it is important to know how to setup Zoom so it records separate audio files for each speaker. The reason for this is if someone has horrible background noises while the other person is talking, we can isolate the problem and fix it much better.

Here are the…

7 Steps to Record Separate Audio Files on Zoom:

Step 1:

Open the Zoom app and click Settings

Step 2:

Click on the Recording tab

Step 3:

Enable Record a separate audio file for each participant

Step 4:

Record and save the meeting to your computer

Step 5:

Once the meeting is over and the recording has processed, open the recording folder

By default, the local recordings will be placed in following directory:

Windows: C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Zoom

Mac: /Users/[Username]/Documents/Zoom

Step 6:

Within the folder, open Audio Record

Step 7:

Once you're in the Audio Record folder, each persons audio track will be shown as its own file. Now with these files you can easily send it to us (or any other professional podcast editors) to save you time, and to give your audience an amazing listening experience!
