What does Studio #1 look like?
Studio #1 has two caramel-brown leather armchairs with quilted backs, each with a microphone on a boom stand beside it, and a small round table with bottled water between them. Behind the chairs, tan wood slats with vertical LED light bars flank a geometric wood panel and a wall-mounted display with the studio logo. The studio describes it as a stylish interior with LED lighting and a classic interview setup.

What is Studio #1 a good fit for?
Studio #1 is a good fit for professional interviews and video podcasts, the formats the studio describes for it, and its classic interview setup suits a conversation between two people. Two matching chairs suit a business interview, an expert conversation or a weekly show with a regular guest. Add Studio Recording for a full crew and three 4K angles.
What should I wear in Studio #1?
Choose colors that separate from the caramel leather and tan wood: navy, forest green, black, white or a clear bright. The gallery shows a yellow polo and a white graphic t-shirt standing out against the chairs. Caramel, tan and rust can melt into the set.
What equipment is set up for a session in Studio #1?
The package decides the cameras, not the set: one 4K angle with Studio Essentials, three with either Studio Recording package. For sound, the studio lists 2 Shure microphones with Cloudlifters and a Rodecaster Pro. The video podcast studio page has the full list.
