What is Riverside?
What is Riverside?
Riverside is a professional podcast and video recording platform designed specifically for remote interviews and multi-participant recordings. It records each participant locally at high quality — up to 4K video and 48kHz audio — regardless of internet connection quality, eliminating the compression artifacts that plague Zoom and similar tools.
Studio-Quality Remote Recording
The core innovation of Riverside is its local recording approach. While other platforms stream compressed audio and video, Riverside records directly on each participant's device and uploads the high-quality files afterward. This means bad internet on one end doesn't ruin the recording quality. AI post-production tools then allow editors to polish recordings quickly with automatic transcription, magic clips, and AI-powered audio enhancement.

- Lossless 48kHz WAV audio recording per participant
- Separate audio tracks for each guest for full editing control
