Stopping and Restarting Your Online Recording When Something Goes Wrong
Sometimes at the beginning of episode recording sessions something will go wrong – the guest will accidentally disconnect or someone’s mic stops working, etc.
Instead of pressing stop on your recorders, many times it’s better to keep the recording going (or as engineers say, “Let it roll.”) instead of stopping it, creating a new session, and pressing record again. Even when my clients are recording themselves locally, I instruct them to never stop the recording once we start.
This way you avoid the confusion of having several files afterwards. Also, it’s very easy to edit out parts of the “one big file” in post-production.
Now, I’m sure there are situations when you will want to stop everything, fix a problem, and then restart the recording, so use your judgement.
Also, if you’re using a platform like Zencastr, Squadcast, Ringr, etc., verify in advance how they handle stopping and restarting sessions, etc. Some make it easy, and some make you actually create an entirely new session for which you’ll have to email everyone a new link to connect, etc., and that’s a lot of hoops to jump through.
