I absolutely HATE this update! It made my recording and publishing process soooo difficult.

@Riversidefm Ай бұрын

We're sorry about that. Are you recording audio only? What part of the process is the most difficult?

@Mrnormthegreat 21 күн бұрын

@thelighthouseatl Ай бұрын

****Disclaimer*** Negative Review**** Riverside does not offer background music for my podcast. You literally can hear a pen drop due to the fact that my podcast is completely audio. It’s slow and takes FOREVER to upload recordings. I wish Spotify would have never integrated with Riverside. Respectfully. My suggestion would be to incorporate the same features that Spotify has, but enhance them and add new features that you believe would be helpful. It may also help to connect with Podcasters to see what we would need from your platform so that you can BE the #1 platform for podcasters instead of assuming that your platform is the better option. I hope this feedback helps the improvement of your company. - CAN CAN

Background music and audio is rolling out very soon to everyone!

@mastergaiato Күн бұрын

You said it,@@thelighthouseatl the integration was horrible, Riverside is offensively mediocre compared to what Anchor and Spotify for Podcasters used to offer and the biggest problem is exactly that: they don't offer background music integration and this is totally ridiculous, since that was THE BASE of Podcast Recording. I wonder who was the "smartass" that decided to shoot themselves in their own feet like that... I hope they read your comment and admit how stupid they were.

@lyndseyjames9183 4 ай бұрын

The ability to easily add intro music and sound effects is essential please can this happen in time for the transition? Also, to be able to split sections of the recording and mute a participant's audio in that split would be incredibly helpful.

I'm getting very anxious about this switch from Anchor to Riverside. My podcast has always been audio-only and I don't see how I can easily add in transitions and I'm used to recording an intro and outro for each episode and easily add in the background music in Anchor. How can I add in the same transitions (I use Bongos) and background music (I use Valantis and Zeppelin for my intros and outros).

@Riversidefm 5 ай бұрын

We understand the concern, and right now the Riverside editor will allow you to record those separate intros and outros, but we don't yet have a way to layer in background music. We know many users need this and we're working quickly to that end.
