Amaze!!! finally seeing a review on this little gem. Its what ive been using pretty much since day 2. day 1 my audio sucked. Day two i bought an xlr mic and this guy. Now I am able to stream on my laptop and my phone using the BT adapter. one day i will upgrade but right now i can see why a 700$ device is any more useful. and this guys is travel ready and battery powered for those remote af shoots.
Been using P4 for months with Riverside. You've shown my exact setup. I use the P4 sound pad for intro music. I've used track 3 with a mobile phone - that works too. For $150 that thing is a wonder. Use P4 with Samson Q2U mic and the barrier to entry is fairly low for good quality audio. Thanks.
Would like to see you tube tutorial on using the zoom H6 essential recorder as an audio interface (connecting to MacBook Pro using Riverside) with 2-3 XLR dynamic for 2-3 in person guests. Have tried using the aforementioned with Riverside and cannot get it (set up) correctly - thank you.
Will add that to the list! You may need to use Audio Hijack or Loopback with that kind of setup. I have a video on that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cOA2Ex3AsCM.htmlsi=HjNMy-wPIiGd20tR
For that we would recommend uploading your effects, sounds, and other clips into the media board in the Riverside studio! When played from there, all guests will hear them.
This could be misleading to some users. You shouldn’t use a microSD card with an adapter. The adapter is meant for reading. recording to a microSD with the adapter could corrupt the files. Use a standard SD card.
I have the Podtrak 4 and interview a guest with his separate mic. When I uploaded my SD card, I thought the track would meld and I could edit them. However, even with my Shure mics, there was bleed. I've uploaded this interview and don't know how to meld these tracks together for my podcast I'm trying to start. Help, please
Mic bleed is going to be an issue whenever recording in-person, we have some tips to mitigate that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0ZJ408ZBa4A.htmlsi=Txqkgk5cPEdAjzNZ
The problem I have with the PodTrak used with Riverside is an echo. I have the mixminus on, and I'm using headphones. However, my remote guests and I still hear an echo. I really like the PodTrak, and I really love Riverside, too--but I can't seem to get them to work together without an echo. The only temporary "fix" I am able to do is put on the "echo cancellation" button via Riverside while recording with my remote guests (all the guests have to have it on). I do not have the echo problem when I use another interface, like Scarlett (but I prefer the PodTrak). Any ideas? I tried plugging my headphones into my Mac directly, but that didn't work, either. Also, I'm using the Shure SM7B mic. Thank you so much for posting this video.
How do I upload the multitrack audio back into Riverside? Also you mentioned that it’s a limitation of the P4 USB that it doesn’t offer multitrack audio. But it also seems that Riverside in general can’t handle multiple audio tracks or devices for multiple local guests when using just one Mac or PC. I’ve run into similar limitation with the Wireless GO II.
Unfortunately you can't upload multitrack audio or video back to Riverside yet. And you are correct, if you have multiple inputs on your audio device going into Riverside, it will combine all mics into one track. I do have a video here on Audio Hijack + Loopback and how it might help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cOA2Ex3AsCM.htmlsi=HjNMy-wPIiGd20tR
@@Riversidefm 😄Thank you! That you're addressing the whole technical ecosystem of podcasting in your videos is most helpful! If Riverside ever supports multitrack recording from a single device, even a basic left, right channel split for two local guests, it would greatly enhance your client base. Uploading and syncing local multi track recordings would be the next step for post production with Riverside.
