A conversation with a professional drummer can easily run for two hours, and Cargando la Batería keeps every minute of it looking like a multi-camera show.
The Spanish music podcast interviews renowned drummers, musicians and artists, often with several guests at once. Four 4K PTZ cameras cover the room, a digital mixing console handles the sound, and a YoloBox Extreme brings the video together.
That setup earned Montesito Producciones, the production company behind the podcast, a place among the Rich Inputs winners of the YoloBox Setup Showdown.
Meet Montesito Producciones and Cargando la Batería
Montesito Producciones is an audiovisual production company in Spain. Its founder, Diego Del Monte, created Cargando la Batería in 2022 with a simple goal: to give professional musicians, especially drummers, a space to share their stories, experiences and passion for music.
Over the years, the podcast has grown into a professional audiovisual production featuring renowned musicians, artists and industry professionals. The founder wanted the visual quality of each episode to match the quality of the guests and their stories.
The same setup also travels beyond the podcast. Montesito Producciones adapts it for corporate interviews, events and live streams, both in its own studio and on location.
The Setup: Four PTZ Angles and a Broadcast-Style Audio Chain
The Cargando la Batería studio is built for long, multi-guest interviews, with video and audio handled as two separate chains.
| Area | Gear |
|---|---|
| Video switching and production | YoloBox Extreme |
| Shortcut control | YoloDeck (seen in the studio photos) |
| Cameras | OBSBOT Tail 2 4K PTZ cameras |
| Camera control | TENVEO PTZ controller |
| Audio mixing | Behringer WING Compact digital console |
| Microphones | Audio-Technica AT2040 dynamic broadcast mics |
| Monitoring | In-ear monitoring systems for hosts and guests |
| Lighting | Neewer LED lights with honeycomb grids, GVM LED lights with softboxes |
| Post-production | Apple Mac Studio with Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve |
| Storage and backup | UGREEN NAS |
What Makes This Setup Stand Out
Four angles, switched in real time
Four OBSBOT Tail 2 4K PTZ cameras give the studio multiple perspectives on hosts and guests. The YoloBox Extreme manages all four sources, so the producer can switch angles in real time and keep a long conversation visually dynamic.
PTZ control from one desk
A TENVEO PTZ controller handles camera control and positioning remotely. Together with the YoloBox Extreme’s live monitoring of every source, it lets the producer reframe shots without leaving the desk.
Audio on its own professional chain
Sound is mixed independently on a Behringer WING Compact, with four Audio-Technica AT2040 broadcast microphones and six in-ear monitoring systems for hosts and guests. Keeping audio on a dedicated console helps every guest sound as good as they look.
Built for long-form interviews
Episodes usually last between one and two hours, often with several guests. For conversations that long, reliability, flexibility and ease of operation are essential. A compact multicamera workflow means fewer operators are needed, and the atmosphere stays natural and comfortable for the guests.
From capture to archive
After the show, footage moves to an Apple Mac Studio for editing in Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and everything is stored and backed up on a UGREEN NAS.
Tips for Running a Multicamera Video Podcast
If you want your podcast to look like a studio show without a large crew, this setup offers a few ideas.
- Give every camera a clear role. With several PTZ cameras, plan a wide shot plus close-ups for each speaker so you always have a clean angle to cut to.
- Save PTZ presets before recording. Store positions for each seat so you can reframe quickly when a guest leans in or a new guest joins.
- Treat audio as its own job. A dedicated mixer and good broadcast mics matter more to listeners than an extra camera angle.
- Give guests in-ear monitoring. When everyone can hear the conversation clearly, long interviews feel more natural.
- Plan your storage. Multicamera episodes of one to two hours add up fast, so set up a backup system before the archive grows.
A Passion Project with Professional Results
Cargando la Batería shows how a small independent team can produce long-form, multi-guest interviews that look and sound like a studio broadcast, without losing its independent spirit.
“For me, YoloBox isn’t just a video switcher. It’s a tool that allows a small independent production to achieve results that previously required a much larger crew and more complicated equipment.” — Diego Del Monte, Montesito Producciones
