INTERESTED IN STARTING A PODCAST?

[celticmoose]

We got this for our podcast specifically for the phone call feature. Yes there are much better alternatives for remote podcasting, and even for interviews, but there are going to be times where you simply need to be able to record a phone conversation because your guest isn't tech savvy, doesn't want to install an app on their phone (or may not even have a smart phone), and doesn't have or want to use a computer. My cohost and I record remotely to begin with, so the Podtrak let's us record a phone call while we are using VOIP ourselves with our laptop setups, automatically mix-minuses the whole thing, and spits out separate tracks for each of us. The only other service that can do that is a paid Zoom account since you get a toll free number for guests.

This was exactly what I was looking for I wanted something fairly similar to the rodecaster pro with the 4 mic input but also needed it to be fairlyu portable as with covid if I am interviewing people in real life I would need to go somewhere else rather than invite them to my home. The sound is comperable if not better sometimes and the 200$ difenetely beats the 600$. This looks ot be exactly what I need, thank you!

Didn’t even notice the difference between the 3.... this is next on my list along with a couple of mics

The voice change at the end of the voice sample took me out! Thanks for this, very helpful.

When he said of the iconic scenes of movie history my thought was this line “You were the chosen one Anakin” but good decision anyway🙂

Connecting to PC without the USB C connection? Can I use USB C to USB A cable to connect PODTRAK P4 with USB C to the PC into the USB A connection?

[mylifeisbroken]

I connected the Zoom P4 to the computer but no sound from the headphones? I can hear my own voice but no sound from videos I open from youtube? I'm sure I have the sound settings right, I can't hear my friend in Discord, but I can listen to my own voice....

This video it's really clear. Thanks!!! Last question! What's your choice in case of livestream broadcast? ZOOMp4 is good or not?

[ivankiefer]

I wonder how much is worth to get the new p8 I know it has more inputs but besides that.

[HarleyPan]

[shahab]

[tonywilliams]

Does the zoom podtrak p4 come with a daw like a lot of audio interfaces?

[sigfreed]

What shotgun mic is used to record the videos?

[sigfreed]

Can you use this as Both an independent recorder as well as audio interface? Can it be used as a backup recording?

[tusoboothe]

Hello. Hope all is well. Can the Zoom Podtrak 4 be used with a lapel microphone? If yes, how?
