24 hour “connect” links
What’s the best way to do a remote interview for a podcast?
This question comes up a lot in forums. and we love it that podcasters are realising the creative potential of having guests from anywhere in the world. Though there’s some useful information to answer the question, there’s also some mis-information, and even downright complicated solutions.
Here at Cleanfeed we’ve got access to a range of broadcast and recording engineers, so let’s use some experience to discuss these options, and perhaps even set the record straight in some cases!
A bug in Chrome 77
We’ve identified a bug in Chrome 77 that means the browser struggles with some professional audio interfaces on the Mac. If you can’t hear the other person or see the meter moving, then this post has a fix for that specific issue.
Multitrack: the official launch coming soon
After a beta period, it’s time for our multitrack recording feature to go mainstream, and this is a ‘heads up’. If you’ve been using the beta, read on for how you’ll be affected from the week of 12th August.
A festival of software updates
It was going to be just a regular software update, but there’s so many smaller things here it seems worth of a blog post. So festival season is in full swing, and we’ve got a festival of updates for you!

We started Cleanfeed to enable people to create great content; by connecting the world in live, high definition audio.
Today we’re announcing a small change to our definition of ‘individual’ (previously ‘personal’) use. It means more podcasters and individuals can benefit from Cleanfeed Pro at over 35% off the full price. And our standard Cleanfeed is still available for all, for free, too.
Guest screen experiments
“The blog posts are better when you write about a challenge” is what one of our Cleanfeed users told me recently. So, with that in my mind, here’s the story behind a few modifications that never made it into the wild, and some that did.
Zip code
We’re continuing to develop our multitrack recording feature, which gives podcasters and producers new powers in post-production whilst keeping your audio totally in-sync. Today we unleash new code which includes something simple, and effective — the ability to save a bundle of all tracks together.

It’s one of our most asked-for features, and it’s here. This is the first beta, which means we need your feedback to really make it the best! Say goodbye to sync and drift issues — and check out our multitrack recording in Cleanfeed.
Summer in the cities
We’re between the UK and the US this summer. And with weather in London that’s been almost like Los Angeles, it’s time for a newsletter. Whether you’re broadcaster, podcaster or producer, here’s a roundup of some of the things we’ve been doing recently.
Refining the recording process
In any field, unncessary workflow changes can be frustrating. And, unlike your audio editing software, Cleanfeed isn’t a tool you sit inside of all day every day; instead returning to it just when you need it. So we take extra care in development and design to make sure the workflow is familiar when you do log in; it’s a professional tool, so you need to hit the ground running.
Beta testing with the Apple iPhone
It’s been a long time coming, but we’re now beta testing limited support for Cleanfeed (guests only) on Apple portable iOS devices. This means it’s possible to record or do a live interview with a guest on an iPhone or iPad. The ‘too long, didn’t read’ version of this is… try it! But many people have expressed an interest in the details, so here’s a little more.
Getting Started with Cleanfeed
Pondering about joining Cleanfeed? Perhaps you’re thinking.. ‘hrm, I wonder how I should set things up?’. Well, let me put to rest some myths and help give you a better understanding of how Cleanfeed works and how you can get started.
Cleanfeed makes it super easy to send and receive high quality audio over the Internet, so the possibilities of what you can do are endless!
Cleanfeed featured in Live Sound International
I recently did an interview with Live Sound International magazine and it’s sister publication online. Journalist Nicholas Radina and I chatted for over an hour on a Friday night a few weeks back and in full studio quality — using Cleanfeed of course!

Outside events are fun with Cleanfeed
For Cleanfeed to remain relevant, competitive and useful, we regularly attend outside events. The event I cover below is one undertaken for a hospital station, Radio Wey (http://www.radiowey.org).
The Walton on Thames Festival of Light is a well attended Christmas event which celebrates Christmas; includes a festive Christmas market, the turning on of lights and most importantly, the light parade itself.
Cleanfeed on a Raspberry Pi
So you’ve used Cleanfeed, fallen in love with it (don’t lie, I know you have), and you may have potentially asked yourself, “What’s the deal – shouldn’t Cleanfeed make any dedicated hardware?”
