Sixnon Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'd have to concur. I have both the Zoom F8 and a Rodecaster, and would choose the latter certainly for dedicated podcast work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 It depends on what sort of podcast you plan to make, how much flexibility you want to account for if plans/goals shift after a few episodes, and all that. I suggest you spend some time on the Transom website. They've been putting out great information on the tools and craft of narrative radio for decades. Written by some really solid people who've been doing NPR-style radio (This American Life, Radiolab, Serial, etc) for even longer. Really great information and community. Would take a long time to explain all they do and share. Check it out: Transom A Showcase and Workshop for New Public Radio https://transom.org And their Tools section has some good info, including a series of articles a few years ago about gearing up for podcasting: https://transom.org/topics/tools/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borjam Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 So I got a Rodecaster for some podcasts and live panels for my association and I just returned it. At least then plugging headphones on the front jack (the small one) and setting a high gain on channel 1 (I was using a Sennheiser MD441 for testing) I had some unpleasant "helicopter" interference that went away when using a phantom powered condenser microphone on another channel, and there was some AC hum present whenever I touched the screen. That only affected channel 1, not the other three. The microphone is fine (I use it every week at the club) and the cable is good as well, the same star quad cable I used to "test" (It wasn't any kind of formal test) the Rode NTG8 RF immunity. Is that to be expected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
