In my never-ending search for great podcast gear, I landed on your channel. You were great from beginning to end. Keep up the great work!
glad I could help!
So thorough. Thank you!! I am learning Ecamm livestreaming software and was considering getting the Rodecaster Pro to simplify the audio stuff I need to do.. Now I am sold.
I've been going live a lot via streamyard and the rodecaster makes life super easy.
Thank you for recommending always using the studio limiter on the Zoom H6. I just got one to start my podcast.
the limiter is awesome, its saved my ass so many times.
Great breakdown of the Zoom H6 (which I use for one of my podcasts) and the Rodecaster Pro (which I want to get next).
I have been trying to figure out how to best record my play at home for Facebook and have been thinking seriously about starting a CZcams channel. This was really helpful, Ryan! Thanks, and keep the commas ,,,,,
This video just popped up for some reason, and see your Airline guitar again. I was shocked when you sold it. So cool looking.
This video is fantastic and extremely helpful! Thank you
Thanks for the review. I am a new podcaster and have no sound engineering/manipulation experience. The Rodecaster is looking like a pretty good option. It sounded like with the H6 there is a bit more involved in post that you need to have a bit of knowledge for.
Solid review. I’m definitely leaning hard towards the RodeCaster Pro now!
Very awesome explanation! I really appreciate this video!
This is a VERY good video, Ryan; and relative to my interests.
This was great bro! Very helpful 👌🏼
Thank you so much for that very clear video. You nailed it!
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.
Kevin Le I am still hesitating between zoom h6 + shure sm58 vs rodecaster pro + rode podmic. Which one do you recommander at this time ?
so incredibly helpful thank you!
Great showing of the audio aspect of your podcast & videos. I’m interested in the video aspect, so if you’re jonesing for content, may I recommend seeing your video setup. Keep doing your thing, friend!
yeah i should cover that, i have a relatively simple rig but i've had a few missteps over the years that could be helpful to people filming podcasts and demos.
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 👌
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. 🎭
How did that work out for you? :^)
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.
Don’t you lose the individual channels that way? It would just become a single track mix this way, wouldn’t it?
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.
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.
@@Mindset4Excellence it can come from both a pc or handheld device but i prefer to use a pc with the H6s audio interface function. I use the stereo interface bc its compatible with more apps then the multitrack function. I do use headphones through the zoom so i can monitor my voice and the audio coming from the call .
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.)
so means the H6 can accept phone call with crisp voice?
is there any software or workflow that works with H6/H5 that simplified the post processing that can replacce the rodecaster?
Awesom info, thanks! I’m looking at the mixpre 3 or the rode. I’m new to podcasting, but I also do on sight audio for videography. So I want to have one device that does both. Any advice you can offer?
I see that this was recorded in 2019. That was a different world, literally. Have you updated any of your current podcasting equipment to 2022 offerings. Thanks for your videos, enjoy your content.
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?
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.
We are going to be using this piece of kit for our church. Goal is 4 mics and 4 monitors. All mics labeled so whoever records goes to their microphone that we have leveled and just taps record.
Agree. H6 is really great tool.
Thanks! Best video
Ryan thanks for the video, excellent information! I want to know your advice, we’re a very small ministries, we’re pretty much dealing primarily with videos. 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 use my H4nPro for phone interviews with zero problems. You just need the right cables.
Great information thank you! Really considering the rodecaster. I do most of my interviews remotely, will it work with zoom and still give me two tracks?
Thanks for the great info 👏🏽👏🏽 on how to pod cast I’ll use my line 6 pod Hd....wait what that’s a different pod 🤣
Greetings from Spain. Could you suggest an app for android tablet to launch sounds through the Bluetooth channel?
Ryan, great info, coaching and pacing...how do we reach you, besides this comment platform?
H6 and phone voices... XY mic attachment has a jack out/in to connect to your phone or tablet ... easy
Stuart I was Thinking the same thing considering that I use it for phone calls all the time!
I have watched several videos where they proclaim how easy and nice the zoom h6 is for phone calls...i’ve done a couple calls and so far so good, but it does require additional steps and a different cable...I will definitely rethink my approach.
weve used it for phone calls a few times and its been easy.
Thanks...this is so helpful. I did purchase a Rodecaster Pro We are beginners and have been enjoying putting this together over the last 3 months. My wife and I conduct interviews with guests via Zoom, have two mics and are using sound from the Zoom guest side...tested sound and recorded our with first dry run using Zoom and the Rode! Question: Please forgive me if this is a dumb question...If I record to the Mini Sandisk in the Rode, how do I edit and post it to my Podcast service? (I have an iMac set up)...do I pop it into my iMac and use Garage Band? Thanks.
Great video.
Is the rhode caster able to record a live off the floor music jam like guitar vocals keyboard bass if needed or is it strictly good for microphone pod casts vocals.
raztechstudios you could record whatever you want with it but it would probably be smart to turn off all the podcast specific processing
Any thoughts on the Zoom Livetrak L8?
Then what do you suggest for phone recording podcasts for broadcast dynamic quality...For distant guests ....??Bro
Thanks for the input... I intend to purchase the Rodecaster Pro in the next couple of weeks but already have the H6. Why were there issues bringing in audio from a phone call? It seems the stereo jack included on the XY Mic would work well as would coming into one mono or two mic inputs stereo from your phone or iPad out?
Please tell me that input pun was intended 😂
If you would get only the h6 or the roadcaster. Which would be your pick and why? Thanks
Thanks bro
Can Rodecaster use iRig into an iPhone or iPad ? I am starting podcast but I want to do video for CZcams as well , your thoughts
Great info. What is the hiss?
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.
Thank you so much ma'am this really helped
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.
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.
Thanks for your review! I still don't understand what's feeding the channel/fader labeled with the USB sign. I understand the USB-C port on the back is an output to connect the Rodecaster as an audio interface, right?
the way i use the rodecaster the usb level controls the imput from my computer when im using it as a live streaming interface.
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!
What equipment do you use to video record your podcast?
Is the RODECaster a good fit for GarageBand and is it relatively easy for a newbie?
Is it possible to use both? The rodecaster pro as the main and the zoom h6 as a backup?
Thanks for this! I am a podcaster considering Rodecaster. Would love your opinion. How easy or tough is the Rodecaster to use for a non-tech person? I mean, if I can plug in my mic, record zoom files and move them around, use all kinds of software packages, and maybe even program my universal remote, would you think Rodecaster is within my capability to set up and use?
its pretty simple to use.
is there any options for adding sound effects when using the h6? or am I better off doing that in post?
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?
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.
@@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.
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.
@@60CycleHumcast I will definitely take it into consideration. Thanks a lot for this, if anyone deserves to succeed is a genuine and helpful channel like yours. Best of luck to you all.
awesome info
How does this compare to the Anker for Zoom calls? That is if you're familiar with Anker.
Brilliant Podcast and great ginger beard 🧔🏼
Will Zoom h6 record good quality of phone recordings??
Have you checked out the podtrak p8?
sir can we connect our 3.5 mm aux speaker to it so that we can hear our recording from speaker ?? and where to connect it? i am asking for zoom h6
If im using a mixer with 4 mic inputs to xlr outs into an H6. Will i still get multitrack recordings or just stereo L/R mix of all 4 voices?
In multitrack mode it will give you a wav file for each track. Up to 6 including its external stereo mic.
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.
What software and hardware do you use?
@@gaips iMac (with backups occasionally also saved concurrently to PC if I'm doing an interview); Rode NT2-A; Allen & Heath ZED 10FX mixer; Adobe Audition.
@@oldmanzen6682 thanks
good info
Can you tell me that just using Roadcaster Pro can I make the room like sound? Or I have to use the "zoom h6" or "MixPre 3" amplifier recorder with it to do this?
I want to use here roadcaster pro with Sennheiser mke-600 microphone.
really appreciate the review. Would you ever use the H6 as backup to the rodecaster? Thanks!
Really good at answering questions and stuff love to answer questions and stuff what was your question and stuff derp derp derp. Hahaha a kid I kid I'm joking I'm joking I'm joking I'm Joe King hahaha
Is running an AUX from the headphone jack on the computer into the line in on the H6, then monitoring through the headphones from the H6 not a good solution? That's what I was hoping for, I've got an H5 coming in the mail.
I thought about that, but won’t they end hearing themselves in the mix too, but with latency. A speakerphone device that also has a lone out would be useful.
@@osagiee9553 I don't think they would get feedback if you use headphones to monitor.
Can you use this with OBS?
U have too much noise in your audio. try lowering down your gain keep the mic closer and use the gate or noise reduction option. Hope it helps.
Pretty cool..
Got an extra Rodecaster PRO?
What USB Power adapter is compatible with the h8?
I dont know
I own both h6 and rodecaster. I am selling my rodecaster. I loved it but found it too niche I use the zoom h6 for everything and very small form factor
I am still hesitating between zoom h6 + shure sm58 vs rodecaster pro + rode podmic. Which one do you recommander at this time ?
I personally went the route of H6 and SM58 due to the fact that I will most likely be travelling with my setup, and I'm just starting so I didn't want to invest too much right away in case it's something that I can't do on a consistent basis.
iiAmaze i bought yesterday rodecaster pro + shure sm7b hope is a good combo
@@AlexandreLacharme That is probably the best setup you can go with for a permanent studio setup. You will most likely never need to upgrade in the future. Hope it all works out for you.
Happy Birthday to me .....Rodecaster pro ☑️ 🇨🇭
How much for the golden flying-V?
$1000
there are btw 8 banks in total ;) I actually use 5 with sounds effects and jingles :-) works amazing! and if you try the new Beta 2.1.0, way more options now 😜👍🏽🤟🏽
nice! i need to make myself more sounds to use.
My Rodecaster Pro Does Not devide the Files. I make 45 Minute Episodes, and they are single files.
You can hear them at my Podcast Website sagenwasist.com and of cause on iTunes search for „sagen was ist“
Interesting. Maybe I need to check for an update.
sell me your old set up.. i want to start a podcast.. i grow a beard like you do, except mine is black
The audio of this video is terrible… hiss through the whole video lol
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.
