Classical music recording engineer here. Your podcast sounds great because you use good mic technique. Upgrading to an SM7B and an interface will probably yield diminished returns (unless you just enjoy it that much more) and add setup time.

If I were in your shoes, I would start looking into an interface when you would like to put some distance between you and your computer, as in a live sit-down talk. Grab some more cabling, and you may host as many people as you have channels and mics for. I recommend an interface that records to SD cards for field recordings - I hate dealing with computers in the field, but that's just me.

Hope that helps, and thanks for making another fucking Bitcoin podcast just for me.

I really appreciate this feedback.

I’ve been trying to work on my mic technique as much as possible (when I remember to), so it’s good to know that translates.

Also a great point about the setup for virtual recording versus in-person. My setup now is SUPER simple and quick—I don’t need to think about it at all—and also extremely portable. But for future interviews I might do in person I will definitely need a more upgraded setup.

Thank you for taking the time to give such a thoughtful answer 🙏

Thank you, Sir. 1y ago

Hey anytime. I'm glad that it's a helpful frame of mind. I'm relatively new to recording at 8 years in, but I've accumulated sooooo much CRAP that I let myself be sold on, and I wish I had done things differently. I can record most of the orchestras around here with a 2008 Yaris-full of gear, so that makes me happy.

Like everything, clarity of mind is key. Simple is good.
