Episode Recording Checklist and Backup Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Recordings fail or one side is lost, and the guest is not available again. Before the call, this agent sends the guest a test checklist covering headphones, microphone, a quiet room and a local recording app. It checks the guest's test recording for level, noise and drops, advises fixes and checks again. After the call, it verifies that every track and backup file exists, plays and has the right length, and it compares track lengths with each other. The host approves moving to editing. Edge case: if the guest's local file is missing, it checks the backup recording and tells the host before the guest signs off.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A test recording passes when level, noise and connection meet the limits. After the call, every track must exist, play and match the length of the others within a few seconds.

  • Require the noise floor under -50 dB
  • Require peaks under -3 dB
  • Require every track length within 5 seconds of the others
  • Check the backup before the guest leaves the call

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Noise limit (default -50 dB)
  • Recording tools
  • When to send the checklist (default 2 days before)
  • Backup method

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Sending the checklist to a guest
  • Moving to editing

Hard limits

  • Never edits the recordings
  • Never sends messages to a guest without approval

It stops when

  • Done: all tracks verified and the host approved
  • Stop: no usable recording and no backup

An example run

What happensA guest's test recording showed a hum at -38 dB. The check failed. The agent advised moving away from the monitor and used a second test, which measured -55 dB. After the call, the guest's local file was 4 minutes shorter than the host's track. The agent told the host at once, who used the backup. The host approved editing.
