{"product_id":"digital-product","title":"Fix the Echo: Home Recording Room \u0026 Mic Checklist","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour first takes sounded fine in the room — and like a tunnel on playback. That is the most common home-podcasting problem there is, and it almost never needs new gear. It needs a softer room, a closer mic, and a routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFix the Echo was built from exactly that lesson. Recording Episode 2 of The Valor Standard, the first take came back echoey — a tunnel. The fixes that worked were a softer room (a closet full of clothes, or a vehicle cab), recording closer to the mic, standing with more energy, tighter cuts, and a better phone recording app (Dolby On). This pack turns those fixes into checklists you can run in ten minutes before every session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside: how to pick the softest room you already have, how to soften it with blankets and cushions you already own, mic position and level checks, a delivery checklist for energy that survives the recording, phone app and settings checks, a 10-minute pre-record routine, a tape-it-to-the-wall final checklist, and a 30-second test loop for when it still echoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo studio.
