So, you can actually connect your laptop via headphone out and connect it to zoom h6 LR connecter on top line in, and it'll record the zoom call or phone call etc. It works for me at least.

I just got the rode casterpro I also have the zoom h6 as for as recording calls its very easy to do on the zoom h6 all you need is a trrs to trrs cable and have the xy microphone on the unit the 3.5 is on the right side of it. With that said the procaster is much better 👌

@PatrickRambles 3 года назад

Fantastic video and just what I needed to convince myself I need a Rodecaster 😂. Just a quick one on your comments about having to adjust the volume on all 3 files in Final Cut. Couldn't you just copy and paste the attributes from the first file onto the other two?

@60CycleHumcast 3 года назад

Patrick Rambles all the tracks are grouped into a master track that you expand to edit. It’s a funky system. I’ve learned to just trust the output settings of the rodecaster instead of trying to tweak my own mix too much.

@KevinLe 4 года назад

GAAAAAAAAAH... I've been using the H6 for youtube shows and podcasts for 3 years now and It's great, but I do always find myself having to do a bunch of post-production to my recordings. I've been eye-ing the rodecaster for some time now, but you made a great case for why i'd want to move to this.

@anthonyjohnson7482 3 года назад

I have the zoom h6 and all u have to do to record a call is use the xy stereo mic capsule and a 3.5mm jack and you can record the person your talking to and record your voice in 2 different tracks with independent gain knobs. I think it works quite well.

@ExcellentMinded 3 года назад

Can you please explain your setup in more detail? Is the call input coming in from a computer or handheld device? So you connect that device to xz capsule line in port, but how do you hear the call audio? Are you monitoring from H6 via headphones? Thanks.

@anthonyjohnson7482 3 года назад

@@ExcellentMinded it can come from both a pc or handheld device but i prefer to use a pc with the H6s audio interface function.

So we have a tascam 70d with a sound blaster, that we use in combination with the DSLR cameras, and shure beta 58a to make livestream thru OBS. We’re considering making an audio upgrade, do you recommend the Rodecaster or go for the Zoom H8? (I know is kind of speculative because it is not selling out yet). We’re going to include Skype or Zoom guest calls thru OBS, and we want to buy something that we can use also later for a video podcast that we’re considering start it soon. Thanks a lot🙏

I have always been pretty darn happy about the Rode microphones that I have purchased. My son has gotten good service from a "Podcaster"- looks like a Procaster with a built-in DAT and USB output, for his gaming rig. Anyway looks like that Rodecaster could go on my list. I like not having to fiddle the knobs too much. I am considering sharing some of my foolish experimental rigs with the world, could be good for laughs. 🎭

@CommGuy1000 4 года назад

Great video - really informative. I agree with a LOT of what you offer, and learned the Studio Limiter function of my Zoom H6 might have saved me a bunch of time in editing a frequent and obnoxious laugh recently. I use the H6 with phone-in guests all the time, though. I use the earliest model of the iRig guitar interface with no problems at all. I've used several computer interfaces over the past dozen years or so, and definitely appreciate the compact size of the H6. I carry it everywhere. I can record an interview, interface with a Mevo/iPhone for video interviews, and use it as an interface to record radio voice work. Based on everything I've seen (including your video) I'd easily recommend the Rodecaster for simplicity and function over the laptop for anyone building a podcasting studio. (As long as they have audio editing software on a nearby computer.)

@senecaoak7173 2 года назад

@IvarsDayLab Год назад

I just watched how to connect and record a phhone on zoom H6 and it's not as complicated as you think. All you need is a zoom mic head (I got mine included in a kit), a USB-C or lightening to 3.5 jack adapter, a 3.5 jack to 3.5 jack cable where one end goes to the adapter and into the phone and other end goes into 3.5 jack input on the mic head. Set a track which will be used for the phone and that is it. Don't turn on the speaker on the phone because phone will skip the connection with zoom H6. I don't have that usb-c adapter so I can't test it now, but if you do, just go and try.

@thecrazylipser 4 года назад

Great video. I'll make sure to recommend it. I'm a music producer (Ableton) so post editing the vocals isn't a problem. My main concern is to get the set up in an ideal way for whomever is on the podcast to hear themselves properly through the headphones. The direct in. It seems like on the rodercaster it's super easy, there's headphones inputs, headphones outputs, knobs which I assume would react accordingly etc (but please correct me if I'm wrong). What if I wanted to individually control the volume of the "direct in" for someone on the ZOOM H6 to hear himself louder for example? Is that possible and if so - how hard is it to control?

@60CycleHumcast 4 года назад

i dont think you can adjust headphone mix per channel on the zoom h6, honestly when we podcasted with zoom we dont even wear headphones, we just watch the levels and trust the limiter. The rodecaster is much MUCH better suited for monitoring via headphones.

@thecrazylipser 4 года назад

@@60CycleHumcast I appreciate your response. So with the Rodecaster each person on the podcast has their own individual volume knob to monitor themselves with the headphones on? If so - that"s super useful. If I were to use the ZOOM H6, with an Audio Interface + Headphone amp which splits to 4 outputs - would you recommend such set up in comparison? And does it even make sense to somehow connect it all? Thanks for taking the time btw, this stuff isn't easy to start with but good people like you guys are extremely helpful.

@60CycleHumcast 4 года назад

Yes there is a headphone monitor knob for each channel on the rodecaster, you could do that with the zoom and a headphone amp splitter, but then you have to power the splitter and honestly in my experience the headphone out on the zoom is kind of 'crispy' and hard to listen to for long periods, its more for reference than for monitoring. I think the headphone out isnt running through the pre amp or something. It would be a less expensive rig but I think the Rodecaser just does the podcast experience a lot better.

@thecrazylipser 4 года назад

Note on the computer crash problem: this is the best reason to, if you must use a computer, to record with a DAW like Reaper that can automatically create back ups at whatever interval of minutes you need. Always better to lose 5 minutes of recording than 45!

@thecliftonworleyshow 4 года назад

thanks for making this! I do have a question about the phone calls. How many people can join in on the call? I know you could problem do a group call and it would sum it up into one audio track, but what about sending each caller to a separate track?? Also, I see where Zoom has come out with a similar mixer for podcasting and wondering how they might compare? The pricepoint is little less on the Zoom.

@60CycleHumcast 4 года назад

you would have to use multiple phones to have phone calls on multiple tracks. there are call in services that allow you to do that sort of thing and then they let you download the tracks.

@oldmanzen6682 4 года назад

While I agree that the Rodecaster is a fantastic (nearly) all-in-one device for podcasting, I do have to disagree regarding the use of a computer for recording. Professional studios record with computers. To imply that the probability of a crash is a certainty is not accurate. I think what's more accurate is that the possibility of a software crash is higher on a computer; however that's highly dependant on what software you use. I've been podcasting for over 11 years, and hardware crashes aren't a thing. However early on, software crashes absolutely were, though even they were very rare. Since switching to a better recording software, I've not had any issues. And because the software saves as it goes, hardware issues--should they occur--don't corrupt the file. Basically, if you want less headaches, you'll have to pay a little more. Good episode. Newer podcasters are always looking for tips on how to get started, and that Rodecaster, if they can afford it, is such a great solution to avoid a lot of the pains in the ass that you have to deal with when you're first starting out.

To me it's just crazy that Zoom's recorders are basically the only devices left on the market to still use mini USB..I know that audio recording tech hasn't necessarily changed much over the last 10 years, but to not update such a basic thing really shows a lack of innovation and resting on your laurels on Zoom's part.
