Podcast recording

Capture conversational shows, interviews and internal audio at a bright table setup in Nakameguro—engineer on session, with optional edit and export so you can publish faster.

Two podcast hosts record at a table with shared microphones and mixer.

Built for talk-first formats: co-hosted series, sponsor episodes, guest interviews and pilot seasons where two to four people sit together. Lefsenlayerco in Nakameguro, Tokyo, uses shared mics and a compact mixer so setup stays quick between episodes.

Studio plus engineer is ¥12,100 per hour VAT-inclusive at 10 percent; edit-only time is ¥8,800 per hour. Producer and podcast engineer Ryō Tanaka often runs these sessions. Book via Contact; rules live in Terms and conditions.

Process

  1. 01

    Share the plan

    Episode count, guests, length, platform and edit needs via form or [email protected].

  2. 02

    Confirm date

    VAT-inclusive quote and 30 percent deposit hold the slot. Review Podcast rights and releases before guests arrive.

  3. 03

    Record

    Table levels and a test recording, then the main session. Drinks OK; no smoking in the building.

  4. 04

    Edit and export

    Optional edit hours for trims, loudness and MP3/WAV exports. Session data kept 12 months per policy.

Formats that fit

Two-host chat, three-person panels, host-plus-guest interviews, internal comms shows and audio pilots all map cleanly to the table layout. Music-forward episodes may need vocal tracking or a band session instead.

Remote guests over Zoom are case-by-case—confirm bandwidth and routing on 03-5724-8910 before booking. The studio opened in 2019; the live area allows up to 7 people, but podcast bookings cap seats to keep speech intelligible.

Setup and sound

Shotgun or small-diaphragm mics per seat, gain staging matched so no one dominates the mix. Pop control, isolation pads for table rumble and control-room monitoring by Tanaka or another engineer. A short test recording before the real take catches rustle and chair noise.

  • Headphone bleed kept minimal unless a host needs cues
  • Seating and mic angle adjusted when everyone talks over each other
  • Daylight from the windows—great for daytime blocks inside Tuesday–Saturday 10:00–22:00; closed Monday and Sunday. Evening sessions by appointment.

Session day flow

About a 4-minute walk from Nakameguro Station (Tokyu Toyoko Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line), toward Nakameguro koban. One block north of the Meguro River promenade.. Allow roughly fifteen minutes for seating and levels, then use the booked block for content. Long episodes may need chained hours—ask when quoting.

Guest releases and likeness permissions stay with you as the producer (Podcast rights guide). Corporate shows can add a Data processing agreement when required. We process audio under our Privacy policy without repurposing it.

Editing and delivery

Edit-only time bills at ¥8,800 VAT-inclusive. Typical tasks: remove obvious retakes, tighten long silences, rough intro/outro edits, loudness alignment, MP3 for upload plus WAV archive.

Turnaround is stated on the edit quote—often one to two edit hours per recorded hour as a starting guess. Offline tweaks include 2 revision rounds (Delivery); further passes bill in ¥8,800 increments.

FAQ

Can we record solo or with five people?

Solo voice may fit vocal recording or a short podcast block—ask first. Five-plus speakers need a band-style live-room layout and a separate quote.

Raw files only, no edit?

Yes—book ¥12,100 record time and define the export in the quote. Add ¥8,800 later if you change your mind.

Who clears guest rights?

You as the show runner. Use Podcast rights and releases; we do not provide legal advice.

How far ahead can I cancel?

Terms: contact us via [email protected] or 03-5724-8910 at least 5 days before the session for free cancel or one reschedule.

Do you shoot video too?

This service is audio-first. A static bring-your-own camera may be OK; lighting and video edit are out of scope—describe needs on Contact.
