This is a question I often get asked in my Podtrak video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m71xoK1pyLSsnH0.html). Hopefully this helps you! 🎙️ What you need Audio interface (Zoom Podtrak P4) TRS to TRRS cable iPhone lightning adapter XLR mic (Rode Podmic) Step-by-Step 1. Plug in the TRS to the Podtrak 2. TRRS to the iPhone lighting adapter 3. Plug in the lightning adapter to iPhone (It seems to be important to plug in the adapter to iPhone last) 4. Test the audio in the Voice Memo app to see if it’s properly working by turning the mic volume or pressing the mute button

Or you can get a USB-C male to Lighting cable male and just connect the phone to the Podtrak P4. Make sure that you are plugging the USB-C to the one that has the symbol, not the one that says "DSC 5V"

@lanewicks6272 Жыл бұрын

But are you able to record audio to the phone?

@GreySins 11 ай бұрын

@@lanewicks6272 You can record it on the phone, if your phone has an sound recorder application. If you meant the recorder itself, why not just record it by itself, if you're recording a video that's supposed to be accompanied by the podcast audio, you could sync it up in post.

So once everything is set up, do you hit record on the podtrak first or on the camera? Also given that it is an iPhone I’ll be trying this with, would it just keep recording for as long as it can? So to speak.

@StephanieLin Жыл бұрын

If you are recording the audio on the iphone, you won't need to hit record on the Podtrak unless you want a backup track. The order here doesn't matter, but probably makes more sense to start the podtrak recording first. As for length, if you're recording with the iPhone Voice app, then it should record as long as the app and space allows.

@StephanieLin 6 ай бұрын

I'm no help because i have no knowledge of those products. I'm thinking if it has a USB-c that can connect to your laptop, you should be able to see your Zoom device as an input in Zoom - but that's only if it works similarly to podtrak p4. Here's a video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m71xoK1pyLSsnH0.html

can you do multiple iphones at once? or run 2 xlrs to 1 iphone?

Yes to 2 XLRs to 1 phone, since we're using Podtrak's output. If you just need to record to multiple phones, I think it should work just repeating the same steps 🤔

Hello, if I put audio on my computer (a track) to sing along with, how do I get the clear audio in the my video. Like when I record a tiktok video I sing with the music in the back but only my voice is heard well, the music is quiet and not clear. Do you have any solutions? Thanks 🙏!

@StephanieLin 7 ай бұрын

I think you'll have to put the original audio track and your voice track (just the singing) together in post production! So when you record you probably have to wear a headphone where you can hear the music and sync the tracks together in editing.

@Bob9961 11 ай бұрын

Yes, you can use your phone as a recording device. And to correct Stephanie, the PodTrak P4 records each track, and sound pad, in separate files, as well as a stereo mix of all of them. Also, Stephanie plugs her phone into a headphone output, which you definitely do not have to do. The USB interface is the ticket here. The manual (and many KZfaq presentations) gives the steps required.

@StephanieLin 11 ай бұрын

@@Bob9961 The P4 can record on individual tracks but not when we use the headphone output on the iPhone - everything is on the same track on the output. I've never tried that myself because I don't have a USBC to Lightning converter, but are you able to use the Lightning cable as a MIC input on the iPhone? Love to know the answer. Thanks!

Confused on this one. Why are you plugging in the phone to one of the four monitor plugs? Wouldn't it go in port 3 for the phone jack?

@StephanieLin Жыл бұрын

That’s because if you use the phone jack, that means you’re using the iPhone microphone as an input. In this video, I’m trying to show how to use XLR mics as the mic input on the iPhone (not using the iPhone microphone).

@SuperWolfkin Жыл бұрын

Port 3 is the phone jack but that's only if you want what's happening on your phone to be recorded as part of the audio. Typically used when you want to record the audio to the SD card. The OP is making a video on how to record the audio directly to the camera feed. Now, since you can use the headphone jack to monitor what's being recorded, you can just instead of plugging that into a headphone plug that into the mic input on your phone and now you're able to record what's being sent on the microphones through the directly to the recording on the phone
