Looking for some advice please! I currently record a podcast remotely which works very well.

However I have show to record in a couple of weeks with a total of 4 people all recording together. They will all need microphones & I would like to be able to use the file to edit it accordingly before publishing (I use audacity to edit).

Which mixer would be best? Ideally I don’t want to spend much as we record remotely most of the time, on the other hand it is an important show so I don’t want to mess it up!

Many thanks

Someone talked me into getting the PreSonus AudioBox USB96 and the AKG P120 Condenser Mic….I’m just starting my podcast but is this junk? Should I sell it on FB and start over?

Great post, hands down! You pointed out several important aspects to consider, some are overlooked by many other “podcaster” out there. Faders, for example, are crucial and I don’t understand why people still buy those mixers and price it’s nit evdn an excuse, you can buy cheap mixers with faders instead. Yes, the Rødecaster is fancy but it delivers, it’s a great piece of gear and for the price is totally worth it. In fact, many podcasters spend MORE money just buying a cheap mixer, a cheap sound card, a cheap sampler pad, a cheap mic amps and the list goes and goes… I’m not even a podcaster myself, I like to mimic radio shows and so on, it’s a hobby for me but I’d pay for the Rødecaster without a doubt. In fact, teenagers use to waste more money in videogames, consoles, telephones, graphic cards than me…

Does the Yamaha mixer allow you to record a pod with 3 remote people via Skype?

Hey, so, I’m thinking about getting a mixer, but I’m not sure it is going to solve my problems. I have a podcast where I interview one person over Zencastr. The problems I have is that Zencastr does not show the volume level. And sometimes I record with all my levels as they were, but they are not. My voice gets way to quiet. It seems that my computer automatically changes the input levels.
So would a mixer, where I can always have the level, in the same way, solve this problem?
Thanks

In reply to James R. Hi James, you'd really need to get a couple of XLR mics to make use of a mixer!

What a great post! My friends and I are looking to take our podcast to the next level and a Mixer is it!

One question though, if we currently own 2 USB Mics (Blue Yeti and Snowball), what adaptors do you recommend to convert it to the right input, so we can use the Yamaha MG10?

Hi Colin,
I bought the Behriger Xenyx 1204 USB. I’m new to podcasting and mixers and trying to fathom recording on Skype has been a nightmare. I bought this mixer and now understand the mix minus set up. However, having spend hours and hours trying to get the quality better and splitting the recording track in Audacity so my voice is panned left and the caller panned right on each side of a stereo track, I find out that the Xenyx USB is not compatible with Windows 10. Many reviews have said it was great until they upgraded to Windows 10.

I have control over the volumes, but I cannot pan. Maybe it’s a faulty mixer, but I’m sending it back and then going to try the Mackie ProFX8.

Don’t know if you’ve encountered similar problems?

Thanks for info. If you were choosing between an audio recorder (Zoom HN4 Pro) or a mixer which would you pick? Or would you use both? Thanks.
