** UPDATED FOR 2023! **
Best Microphone/Mixer Setup for A Killer Pro-Level Podcast:
Rodecaster Pro Mixer: amzn.to/3HfABhB
Shure SM7B: amzn.to/36iLs6w (The Joe Rogan Mic)
Microphone Cables: amzn.to/3GUqZYe
Slightly Cheaper but all fantastic Mics:
Heil PR-40: amzn.to/2LDN413
Heil PR-35: amzn.to/3e2m3jR
Shure SM58: amzn.to/36bS6v6
Or, buy a kit with the Rodecaster, Rode Mics, and Microphone Cables:
amzn.to/3iRujeU
If you’re on a serious budget and just want a USB Mic that sounds a million times better than a Blue Yeti, try this one:
Audio Technica ATR-2100 amzn.to/3WlurAX
Or this one:
Samson Q2U: amzn.to/3ZFoiT7
With the above mics, they can plug directly into your computer. However, you’ll need some software like GarageBand or Logic to record the podcast.

Except the single side out mono black from the headphone Jack mistake, he should’ve plugged the red into channel 3 and panned channels 2 and 3 left and right so the h6 receives audio from the computer on both sides. Panning out his voice to the h6 was a bad move. Apart from that it was great 6 out of 10.

@stanman1958 4 жыл бұрын

buddy, of course I thumbed up and subscribed the first time I watched this.. anyway, I did the pan thing you suggested to get separated tracks out of my Zoom H6, one for my voice out of the mic and another track for the media I'm playing or discussion of a person on Skype. But, when editing I noticed that during silent times on one track I hear the other track playing at a low db. I would imagine that's because using a pan to all left for one track and all right to the other leaks or leaves a bit of my mic on the media track. Is that normal, or should the pan way you suggested give true separation? The good news is I mix the tracks back together with software but what if I wanted the complete separate tracks? Is this just a mixer norm?

Are you *sure* that your interface is being selected in whatever audio program you are using? If your voice is muffled and you've got environmental noise, it almost sounds like it's the PC mic picking it up. How does it sound if you plug headphones right into the audio interface? That's a dynamic mic, so you should sound great!

I've seen and paid for a lot of tutorials on how to get that all set up and this is THE BEST tutorial I've seen yet. Really cool to watch a tutorial from someone who actually podcasts (really really well).

Great video, thanks for this, big help. Our podcasts were taking too long to edit in post because we don’t have a mixer in our setup. Our mics were going straight into our recorder and everything else was added later in post which created a huge job each time. We’ll definitely be investing in a mixer ASAP, really like the one you have actually, might go for that.

Ah, finally! Finally, someone teaches me how to use and how this Behringer mixer of mine (which I was about to ditch and connect my Audio Technica directly via USB) works and what these knobs are for! I can now unplug the mixer's USB cable from my laptop and record a clear, professional sound (without the humming it was being recorded due to being connected via USB)! Thank you for this great video, Michael!

Yea, that USB buzz is REAL.

I am very happy to watch this awesome masterpiece video.I am a trained free Lance journalist and anytime am out for interview, I face lots of problems pertaining to my audio recordings accutrument and it's so tedious finding the right way to record audio without loosing them. I was trying to buy a different audio recording set-up but for you, I have learnt a lot from you so I change my mind. Your tutorials are very simple and detail. Thanks

As a now retired technical writer, regularly I bemoan the average person and their inability to communicate a complex technical scenario to a lay audience. CONGRATULATIONS! You took, what for me, is a complex technical scenario, and communicated it most effectively. Well done. Your elocution, your knowledge, your presentation - all point to you, as an expert. I enjoy learning from experts.

Dude, I have the attention span of a frickin' goldfish sometimes, so if something is longer than about 15mins, i sometimes have to come back later and finish it. I watched this whole thing in one setting...even took notes as needed throughout. I'm setting up a show and will be using a Zoom H5. I won't be using the mixer for now because i'm starting with a dynamic USB. This was full of good info..i subbed.

Hi Michael, found you whilst searching for preview information on setting up my Yamaha MG10XU mixer. I congratulate you as I have found your channel very informative, simple to understand and one of the best I have come across. I am now a fan! I am a newbie to this and looking to start my own channel therefore thank you kindly for the information. Best wishes to you and your future videos etc.
