Crosstalk
Crosstalk is the leakage of audio signals between channels, causing unintended audio overlap.
Crosstalk occurs when audio signals from one channel bleed into another, resulting in unintended audio overlap. This can happen in multi-channel recording setups and can cause confusion and reduce the clarity of the podcast. Crosstalk is often caused by poor isolation or interference in the recording equipment.
Minimising crosstalk involves using quality cables and equipment, ensuring proper channel separation, and maintaining good recording practices. In post-production, editing techniques can help reduce the impact of crosstalk, but prevention during recording is the most effective approach.
