The Zoom P4 PodTrak is a simple, elegant and convinient solution to starting a podcast. Being extremely portable and compact, this recorder can take up to 4 XLR inputs but also has 4 headphone outputs for each guest to have their own headphones. Truly an amazing product by Zoom.

Pod tracker! I bought a 3rd part AC power source bc I use this in-studio. I had the H6 for years but the headphone jack starting getting more and more loose. Looking online, this was a common problem that couldn’t be fixed. That’s why I got Podtrack. Being able to give in-studio guest(s) headphones is great! Just hoping the inputs don’t get loose over time.

@ChrisEllinas Год назад

Awesome video so much info! I'm looking to buy this one for a video podcast, do you see any problems with synchronization, since I saw that is recording at 44.1 kHz instead of the 48khz of a video?

@daedalusjones4228 2 года назад

Excellent point about the "recording" indicator light not being obvious enough. As you said, of all the lights they've got on there, that should be the biggest one. I like the Blue Yeti Pro mic for this reason. The "live" indicator light is very obvious, and it's also very obvious when it's on "mute."

@ShawnKoh 2 года назад

Sometimes these companies lose sight of the most obvious things when they are busy making other parts better :) But hopefully they will take it into consideration for future products :)

@kapitbanda Год назад

@StuChang 2 года назад

At mark 6:22 you say you can Havel “all xlr inputs” recorded to your computer through the usb audio interface. The manual says it’s a 2 in / 2 out audio interface. So can you really send 4 xlr inputs to your PC to say live stream or record the 4 mics on some external audio software like Audacity.

@souljah45 6 месяцев назад

I just bought this podtrak 4 and I wasn’t able to hear my remote guest in this device. I could only hear myself and I could only hear my guest audio through my Mac speakers which kinda sucked. Am I missing sometime like a setting or are you not able to hear your remote guest?

Just looking around looking to upgrade my Yamaha AG06, initially examining tge Rodecaster Pro 2, but cannot justify the cost at the moment. The P4 seems to have a good spec and really enjoyed watching your video. So, you've been using it for about a year - what are your thoughts now? Thanks

@ShawnKoh Год назад

Have fun!

@oogimook 2 года назад

would you recommend this for video work where I would record the audio on the SD card and import into video editor?

@ShawnKoh 2 года назад

Yes, it works well as an external audio recorder as you can manage your audio separately. The only disadvantage is having to sync the audio track with the video in post editing. But for multiple microphone recording for video, this is one of the best ways to do so!

@marditoon1128 2 года назад

Will a cloud lifter or signal booster stop the hissing sound or is there anything else that can minimise this type of disruption? Thanks in advance.

@ShawnKoh 2 года назад

The hissing sound is more of a headphone jack issue, it does not affect what is being recorded so I don't think you'll need to fix that issue :)

@alecdahl4790 Год назад

Hey man appreciate the video great stuff. Had a quick question for you. I have a podcast with one other host and and we’re trying to bring on a guest for our show..so 3 people total recording from same location. Would this work for that? I have 3 xlr samson Q2U mics. Was looking at buying an audio interface but I think this might be the move. Thoughts? Thanks!

@ShawnKoh Год назад

Hey there! Yes this recorder can record up to 4 separate audio files. You can have a look at my latest podcast (see playlists) where I have all 4 people with 4 xlr mics. Hope this helps!

@yinse9811 Год назад

Hello Shawn From New Orleans !! I Wanted To Ask Your Opinion On Which Microphones Work Best With The Podtrak P4 ? I Am Thinking Between Samson Q2U and Shure SM58.

Both mics are great and will work with this recorder, but if I had to choose, I’d go with Shure! :)

@maridibossbryc 2 года назад

I have 3.5 to xlr adapters and I can't get any of my 3.5mm mics (rode or any other brand) to work on any channel OR EVEN the auxillary channel of my zoom podtrak p4, yet hooking in my phone or any other audio device in any channel works...

@ShawnKoh 2 года назад

Check if they are TRRS or TRS 3.5s. Some 3.5s are meant for smart phones and requires adapters.

@SoRealSoReal23 2 года назад

Yea that hissing in the headphones does bother me and makes question if the hiss is really coming from the mics.

@ShawnKoh 2 года назад

I've checked the audio and it is clean, the hissing doesnt affect or appear in the recordings :)

@SoRealSoReal23 2 года назад

@@ShawnKoh I noticed that as well but it’s still unfortunate because there could be times were there is actually background noise being picked up. It could either mask it or you might write it off as just the self noise of the P4.

@MOHAMMADAHMADRAZA_QADRI 2 года назад

Hi! I just want to know. Can I use this as a recorder and run it from my mixer via XLR left and right into the zoom? And do the 4 headphone outputs monitor an individual XLR or the whole mix entirely. Cause I want to hook it up to my mixer and I have four guest on my podcast so I want them to have their own headphones but must be able to monitor the entire main mix. Is that possible with the p4?

@ShawnKoh 2 года назад

Hey there, I'm not too much of an expert in this but i presume u are trying to use the P4 as a headphone splitter? And the main input will be from the mics into your mixer correct? Although I can't be 100% sure, it does sound logical. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful :)
