In-Studio vs. On-Location Podcast Recording: What Corporate Clients Should Know

🎙️ Want The Most Consistent Quality? Come Into the Studio.

We get it—not every team wants to leave the office to record a podcast. But unless your content is location-specific, recording in a professional studio is almost always the better choice.

At That Toronto Podcast Studio, we work with businesses across the city. When clients ask if they can record in their boardroom or office, we usually say the same thing: you can, but it won’t sound—or look—the same.

Here’s why we recommend shooting in-studio for most corporate podcast projects.

🎧 Better Sound, No Surprises

In-studio recording means you’re working with a controlled space that’s built for audio. That includes:

• Acoustic treatment

• Professional microphones

• No HVAC hum, hallway noise, or unexpected interruptions

• Real-time monitoring while you record

Offices might seem quiet—until you start recording. In the studio, we know exactly what the audio will sound like before you hit record.

💡 Controlled Lighting = Consistent Video

If you’re filming your podcast, lighting is a major factor. In an office, you’re dealing with:

• Harsh overhead fluorescents

• Uneven natural light

• Reflections on glass or shiny surfaces

• Poor color balance

Our studio setup is already dialed in. You walk in, sit down, and look great on camera. No moving lamps or guessing angles.

🔄 More Predictable Results

When you shoot in-studio, everything’s already tested:

• Lighting

• Camera angles

• Sound levels

• Backgrounds

You don’t need to troubleshoot your space or rearrange your office to make it camera-friendly. We handle everything, and you get repeatable results every time.

🎯 Location Still Makes Sense—When It Makes Sense

There are times when on-location recording is the right move:

• You’re filming at a client site or event

• Your podcast is built around community or place

• You want a behind-the-scenes or raw feel

For those projects, we’re happy to come to you. But if the goal is high-quality, branded content with a polished feel, the studio is the better choice.

☕ Also: It’s a Great Excuse to Step Out of the Office

A studio session is more than just “work.” It’s a break from the day-to-day. You get to show up, record in a clean and focused space, and leave without having to clean up or reset a meeting room. No distractions. No background tasks.

Our clients actually look forward to their studio days—because they know it’s going to run smoothly.
