This does not exist yet. It is an idea we are testing, and this page is how we test it.
An idea we are testing
By then the only options are bad. You spend an hour fighting it, you pay a plugin to paper over it, or you ask a busy person to record the whole thing again. Green Room would move that discovery thirty seconds before the interview instead of an hour after it.
Who takes the hit
You do. You ship the episode, you get the review that says the audio was rough, and you lose the listener who did not finish it. The guest hears none of that.
Where the fix has to happen
In their spare room, on the other side of the country, in a space you have never seen and have no control over.
That gap is the whole product. The best thing available to you today is emailing a PDF of tips that nobody reads — which is not a solution, it is a hope. And there is no version of caring more that closes it, because the thing that has to change is in somebody else's house.
One line in the email you already send. No account for them, nothing to install, and it works on the phone they are reading the email on.
Thirty seconds, sitting where they will actually be sitting. The same measurement this site already does, and it runs entirely in their browser.
This is the part that makes them willing. They find out their room is 0.9 seconds and that a duvet on a door tonight takes it to 0.5 — which is worth having whether or not they ever record with you again.
A number and a band for the room they are about to sit in. Enough to say “any chance you could move to the bedroom?” before you are both live, which is the only moment that question is cheap to ask.
Intended price
$19/month
Unlimited guests. We are telling you the number now, before it exists, because a page that hides the price is measuring curiosity rather than demand — and curiosity is not worth building against.
Everything else on this site stays free and is not a trial: measuring your own room, the fix list, the calculators, the coefficients. This is a different job. Your room is a thing you fix once. Your guests' rooms are fifty different rooms a year that you do not control.
Not whether you would pay $19. People are polite about that question and it tells us nothing. The one we cannot answer without you:
Would you actually send this to your next guest — or would it feel like too much to ask of them?
If the answer is no, this should not get built, and we would rather find that out from an email than from a year of work. If it is yes, tell us about your show and we will come back to you when there is something to try. No list, no drip sequence, no launch announcement — a person reads these and replies.
I'd send this to a guestOpens your mail app. Takes you two sentences, and a “no, here's why” is just as useful to us as a yes.
It would not record your interview, host it, or transcribe it. Riverside, SquadCast and Zoom already do that and we are not going to do it worse. This runs before you open any of them.
It would not clean up, de-reverb or process a recording. If a guest has already been recorded in a bad room, this is too late and a plugin is your only option. The entire point is to be early.
A browser tab or it does not ship. The moment the ask becomes a download or an account, no host will send it and the idea is over — so that constraint decides the design rather than being traded away later.
Nothing on this site uploads audio, and that would not change. Your guest's recording would be analysed on their device and never leave it — not to us, not to you. What would reach you is the handful of numbers they can see on their own screen and choose to send: a reverberation time, a noise figure, a band.
You would be asking somebody to turn on their microphone in their home, which is not a small thing to ask, and it only works if the answer to “where does this go?” is short and true. If a version of this ever needed to upload a recording in order to work, that version would not get built.
In the meantime, the thing that exists today is free and works: measure the room you record in. If you send the link to a guest by hand and it works, that is worth telling us too — it is the same experiment.
