Recording via Teams & Editing via Audacity - advice sought

[BaritoneBrett]

Dear Forum

I will be recording a remote interview via Teams as base for a podcast.

1. Are there any particular settings or parameters that should be respected when recording that will allow for an optimal editing process in Audacity?

2. What is the preferred format in which to save the Teams recording (if applicable) for ease of editing?

Please note that I am not a sound engineer, so while the answers may appear obvious, I am a complete Audacity Newb. Any insight would be weclomed.

Thank you.

Yes. Don’t use Audacity to record both sides of the conversation, because it won’t - unless you do it on a third computer. I believe Teams already offers a facility to make these recordings for you.

Thank you. I will take that duly under advisement and record over Teams first.
