Beginner - so worth the money

I tried lots of different platforms but found Riverside to be the easiest to use and most intuitive for a beginner. There's no over-complications and long words for the sake of it. Riverside just does exactly what you need it to, and the AI tools are brilliant. The live chat support has also been absolutely fantastic.

Riverside is truly a fantastic program and so easy to use. Seriously, I’m a construction worker and have been for 33 years, I’m no dummy but I’ve never been “great” with Tech. I have a podcast that I basically just have as a hobby and to have fun with. Without Riverside it wouldn’t even be possible for someone like me. All of the tools that come with it at an amazing price is just incredible, you won’t be dissatisfied,

Fantastic software for new podcasters

Fantastic software for new podcasters! Have been using Riverside for almost six months now, and I am planning on using it for many more to come. It simplifies the recording and editing process immensely, and it ensures that you will always get the highest quality video due to the unique way that it orchestrates the recording. Would recommend!

Riverside is so user friendly I have been able to learn and figure out how to edit my podcast episodes faster than any other platform. My guests have not had any issues logging on the calls and when I had some terrible audio their advanced AI audio editing features fixed it completely! I would definitely recommend!

I have used Riverside for my podcast for over a year and it gives me the tools I need to have a great pod and it does a great job with its magic clips.

I would give it a 4 and a half but I couldn't simply because the UX can be a bit difficult to get used to when it comes to getting the raw footage.

By far the best software in this category! The recordings are top-notch, and Riverside keeps getting better with every update. The AI features they’re adding especially to their video editing suite - are absolutely mind-blowing. Every day, I’m more and more impressed. I love Riverside and highly, highly recommend it!

I’ve been podcasting for 6+ years

I’ve been podcasting for 6+ years. I started back in the day with an all in one and it became to complicated. Then I started with Riverside recently because it combined Spotify and Riverside. It was a no brainer. The high quality video and audio platforms out there, Riverside is the best. I focused on Riverside the last 2 years and the features keep getting better. The ease of everything is great! Looking forward to how it will evolve. It’s becoming almost effortless to record and edit and everything else. Let’s not even mention the AI clips and editing is crazy!

Riverside makes you look like a PRO!

We recently got into creating online content and Riverside.fm has been a HUGE help! The site is very easy to use, accepts multiple inputs (web cam, audio/mic inputs, etc., additional cameras) and the functionality is GREAT! The platform makes it easy to record video in multiple formats: Talking head/single speaker, group, interview/zoom style, or strictly audio. And the editing tools are very intuitive and work great. It really takes your video to the next level with the ability to select tracks, layer audio/music, add text, images, video overlays etc.

It is so easy, anyone can use it - and between your laptop, mobile, tablet, etc. you can edit and share from any device and upload it to any platform!

Also, we have been using Riverside for about 2 months, and they are constantly adding new features and improving the tool! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

From A Podcast Producer

I am onto producing my 3rd podcast through Riverside. I have been using the platform since early day and the advancements with tools, AI and design are really getting to the point where this is going to be a platform that is hard to compete with.

Makes podcasting easy and accessible!

I really love how easy Riverside makes it to record and edit podcasts. I do a lot of remote interviews, and sometimes the internet connection glitches. With most video call software, this would be super obvious in the recording, but with Riverside they capture the audio on each interviewer/guest's device so that it's an uninterrupted audio experience for the listener.

I love recording my podcasts through Riverside. I've recommended it to several people. The editing process is simple and I can pre-schedule interviews. This has really helped me to get my podcast off the ground.

Love it!

I used to use Streamyard, until the price got silly.

I moved to Riverside. A better price and a lot more functions.

Love it!

Hosted a panel discussion with this

Hosted a panel discussion with this, absolutely not suitable. Extremely laggy which ruins the session. Internet was good, never had this with other webinar tools, did a google meet right after 0 lagg. Probably a great tool for recording podcasts but absolutely shit for live webinars.

I like the ease of using the software and the capabilities it offers from editing, to captioning, and creating show notes and transcripts. It has simplified my process greatly, and replaced a few tools in this one application.
