You bought the gear… now what?

In this episode of Snohomish Podcast Playground, Trent walks you through how to set up your podcast equipment step-by-step—starting with the most overlooked part: where you record. Because the wrong room can make even great microphones sound like you’re talking in a cave.


What we cover in this episode

  • Pick the right recording space (and which spaces to avoid)
  • Simple ways to reduce echo using what you already have: books, rugs, curtains, clothes, blankets
  • How to set up your mic stand so your gear stays stable (and doesn’t crash mid-recording)
  • XLR basics: what plugs where, and how to get that “click” connection
  • How to connect your mic to a mixer/recorder (and why channel numbers matter)
  • Headphone setup tips (including when you’ll need a ¼-inch adapter)
  • Gain vs. fader/slider: a beginner-friendly way to set levels without getting overwhelmed
  • Why you should test your full setup before a guest shows up (and how to “playground test” it)


The big takeaway

You don’t need a perfect studio—you need a good space, a clean connection, and a little time to test and play before you record for real.
