Owner and Creator

“I use this service for my weekly webinars, my workshops, my masterminds with clients and this service works phenomenally for all uses.”
JB

Jennifer B.

Consultant

“You get all the different magic studio features that are just insurmountable and I'm even waiting for my show to grow in a way to where we can utilize the feature where someone is just in there and is actually just playing the producer role controlling the camera, switching the media doing that sort of thing.”

Donovan H.

Owner

Cons

“Just still not a fan of their licensing set up, I'd rather pay once for software and have updates up to a certain point. Plus the software crashing quite frequently.”

“My only frustration with Audition is there are options on the market that accomplish many of the same functionalities without being a monthly subscription price.”

“Confusing to navigate without researching how-to tutorials online.”

Tyler C.

Designer

Cons

“The main issue I experienced was that today’s recording became a little choppy in the middle of an episode, which interrupted the flow of the conversation. While the platform has generally worked well for me overall, moments like that can be frustrating when you’re trying to maintain a natural discussion or record professional-quality content.”
Wb

Warda b.

Marketing Manager

“While on a live stream, every time someone leaves a new comment in the public chat, it resets all the way to the bottom. If you’re trying to show comments on the screen during the live stream, this can be very annoying.”
EC

Eric C.

Lead Investigator

“I am using iphones and i do not have the ability to zoom my video recording also maybe i a beginner i found the web based editing to be extremely hard”
