Our Amman podcast studio records audio and video in one session: a treated room, broadcast microphones on isolated channels for six or more speakers, and five or more synchronised 4K cameras. The edit runs live during the session, so the finished episode comes back within six hours along with four to twelve vertical clips and a hosting platform for distribution. Sessions run four hours or more and cover one to three episodes.
The studio workflow covers the conversation from setup and sound to multiple camera recording, editing and short clips prepared for distribution.
An acoustically treated room, broadcast microphones on individual channels, a monitored mix, and a technician in the room for the whole session so nothing is discovered afterwards.
02
Multi-camera video coverage
Five or more synchronised 4K cameras - a wide, a framed shot per speaker, plus spare angles - so the edit can cut on the conversation instead of holding one static angle for an hour.
03
Sound engineering and cleanup
Noise removal, level matching between speakers, de-essing, and loudness normalised to the -16 LUFS standard the podcast platforms expect.
04
Full episode edit and graphics
Removing false starts and dead air, adding intro and outro, lower thirds for guest names, and chapter markers where the platform supports them.
05
Short clips for social
Four to twelve vertical clips per episode, captioned in Arabic or English, cut from the moments that actually work standing alone.
What makes a company podcast work
The company podcasts that survive past episode ten have one thing in common: a subject the host would talk about anyway. Shows built purely as a marketing channel run out of material fast, because nobody wants to record episode twelve about their own product.
The practical test is whether you can list twenty episode titles before recording the first one. If the list stops at six, the format is too narrow, and it is far cheaper to widen it now than after the intro music has been made.
What to prepare before the session
Recording days run long for avoidable reasons. These four remove most of them.
Send the guest their questions at least two days ahead. Prepared guests need far less editing.
Avoid patterned or bright white clothing on camera, and heavy jewellery near a microphone.
Block ninety minutes for a sixty minute episode; the extra half hour is setup and the first five minutes nobody keeps.
Decide before the session who has final approval on the edit. One approver keeps the episode on schedule.
Process
Preparing, recording and publishing an episode
The exact scope changes with the project, but the thinking stays focused and transparent.
01
Prepare the format, guests and flow
Episode length, who is on the show, the question list, and the recurring segments. A format decided before the first episode is what keeps episode fifteen from drifting.
02
Record in a controlled setup
Sound check, levels, framing, then record. Each speaker sits on a separate channel, so one problem voice can be fixed later without touching the others.
03
Edit and build the distribution assets
The full episode, the clips, the cover artwork frame, the description text and the chapter list - everything needed to publish the same week.

What determines the price
Two projects with the same name can differ several times over in cost. These are the variables that actually move the number, so you can judge any quote you receive - ours or anyone else's.
The recording day, not the episode. Three episodes in one session cost far less per episode than three separate visits, because setup time is the fixed part.
The number of cameras, and whether the episode is audio only or audio and video.
Episode length and how heavily it is edited.
How many vertical clips are cut from each episode.
Whether remote guests need to be recorded and synced.
Send us the scope and you get a written quote with a fixed figure, usually within one working day. The number does not change unless the scope changes in writing.
Before you book a recording day
What does it cost to record a podcast episode in Amman?
Cost follows the recording day, not the episode. Recording three episodes in one session costs far less per episode than three separate visits, because setup time is the fixed part. Tell us how many episodes you want per month and we quote the day rate against it.
Do we need to prepare our own equipment?
No. The studio provides the room, microphones, cameras, lighting and the technician. You bring the host, the guest and the questions.
Can you record remote guests?
Yes. Remote guests are recorded locally on their side at full quality and synced with the studio audio in the edit, which avoids the compressed-call sound that makes an episode feel amateur.
How many episodes should we record in one day?
Two or three is the practical maximum for a sixty minute format. Voices tire, and the fourth episode of a day is usually the one that gets re-recorded.
Do you help with publishing and distribution?
We deliver the files, artwork frame, description text and clips ready to publish. Setting up the hosting account and the Spotify or Apple Podcasts feed is something we walk you through - those accounts should stay in your name.
Can episodes be recorded in Arabic?
Yes. The studio and the editing workflow work in both Arabic and English, including Arabic captions on the vertical clips.
What pairs with a podcast
Most projects use more than one of these together. Here is what usually runs alongside this service, and why.
