1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
are you looking to start a podcast in
2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,960
2025 perfect then let's take a look at
3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,680
what your best choices may be for gear
4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,920
and we're going to start out with some
5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,480
of the entry level options including one
6
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,480
really cool one that came out in late
7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,960
2024 now of course I'm going to have all
8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,359
of these listed below as affiliate links
9
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:22,279
clicking on them does go to support the
10
00:00:22,279 --> 00:00:24,800
channel in case you're interested not
11
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,480
much has changed here though the Pod mic
12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,560
USB is still the best option for
13
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,160
starting a solo podcast and having all
14
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:33,879
of the bells and whistles it's a great
15
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:36,360
combo mic that can be used as a USB mic
16
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,559
if you're just starting out and you also
17
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:40,559
get all those fun little road add-ons
18
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:42,520
like aex for getting the perfect sound
19
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,840
on your voice but also you have that XLR
20
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,520
for when you decide to start upgrading
21
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,399
your gear to include an interface really
22
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:51,640
this is a great all-in-one to start out
23
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,399
with however if you're looking at
24
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:55,359
starting something up for more than one
25
00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:57,960
microphone well right now the Focus
26
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,760
right vaster 2 is still an amazing
27
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,160
purchase now I'm not a massive fan of
28
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,839
the Scarlet mics they like to bundle
29
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:06,880
with these or the headphones either but
30
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920
again it's your money you do you I will
31
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,520
have to say I do have one of these
32
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,040
vasters coming in I want to revisit it
33
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,680
to see what it looks like in 2025 stay
34
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,320
tuned for that and get subscribed so you
35
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,560
don't miss it but when you look at
36
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,680
hooking this thing up you can get really
37
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,119
far with just a couple sm58s which can
38
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:26,360
be flipped on the used Market pretty
39
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,360
easily if you do decide to upgrade later
40
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,759
on as for those those headphones if
41
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:33,240
you're strapped just buy some cheap
42
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,520
earbuds to start to be honest for
43
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,479
podcast monitoring that's really all you
44
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:39,759
need at first and you can get something
45
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:41,960
like the ere headphones later on down
46
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:44,680
the line that vaster though gives you
47
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,719
plenty to play with and get started
48
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,560
including DSP effects like EQ and
49
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,880
compression so you can get the best out
50
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,159
of your voice with minimal post
51
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:56,960
processing and since they're so cheap
52
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,759
you might want to jump on them soon I'm
53
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:00,840
not exactly sure how how long these
54
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,039
things are going to be on the market now
55
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:05,520
if you're into a multi-person podcast up
56
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,160
to 4 there is really only one choice for
57
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,160
cheap and that is still the Pod Trak P4
58
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,000
I did a video earlier this year to find
59
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,239
out if it's still viable in 2024 and
60
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:22,680
spoiler alert it was very much so it
61
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,400
isn't a lot of flash you're not going to
62
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,680
blow anyone away but fully featured for
63
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,440
what you need and the price to
64
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Performance is about as good is you're
65
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,959
going to get in audio add to that some
66
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:35,720
sm58s and you got yourself a show and
67
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,920
lastly in the entry level options
68
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,120
there's a new entrant and you have to
69
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,159
stay with me here the new road Wireless
70
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:45,040
micro these are simple little lav mics
71
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,319
that interface with your phone and give
72
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,640
you fantastic audio that lets you record
73
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,959
multitrack on your phone and add to that
74
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:56,360
the ability to get video on two people
75
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,400
just makes this a fantastic way to get
76
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280
your content up and running for pretty
77
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,879
cheap and the best thing about this is
78
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,519
it won't suffer for Quality just for the
79
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:11,360
sake of cheap those things could be a
80
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,120
GameChanger now as we move One Step Up
81
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,640
This is a bit of a wasteland of options
82
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,840
here there really does seem to be a
83
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,319
divide in the market right now for
84
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,280
podcasting gear you have the super cheap
85
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,799
and then the next stage up that makes
86
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:26,680
your wallet stay up at night worrying
87
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,560
but don't you worry there are still
88
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,640
options here now first of all I do need
89
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,720
to say that for most people that pod
90
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,599
track P4 or vaster could and should fill
91
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:38,680
your needs until your podcast is making
92
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,040
money and I can even lay that same
93
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,080
statement at the feet of this the Pod
94
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,080
mic
95
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,040
USB there's no reason why you would need
96
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,080
more no one will know or care if you
97
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,959
just learn how to produce your show
98
00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:54,000
properly oh but I can see that lust in
99
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,239
your eyes and I really hope it's for
100
00:03:56,239 --> 00:03:58,720
more gear cuz otherwise it's weird but
101
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,000
the best option here is last generation
102
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,319
podcast gear you can still get a lot of
103
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,079
it brand new so it's a bit of a win-win
104
00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:09,040
now the only one I would say to avoid is
105
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,159
the podra p8 that is unless you can get
106
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:14,599
it ridiculously cheap right now I'm
107
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:15,959
seeing it for around
108
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:19,440
$249 us which I would say would be about
109
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,519
the most you should pay there's nothing
110
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:23,360
against it but the other options out
111
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,919
there are just better in every respect
112
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:29,120
including specs now the OG roadcast Pro
113
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,240
is still a beast in 2024 especially if
114
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,080
you aren't rolling with sm7 BS but one
115
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,080
of my favorites to recommend is still
116
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,000
the Tascam mixcast 4 you can get this
117
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680
thing for around 300 bucks on sale and
118
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,479
it is worth it this was the only unit
119
00:04:45,479 --> 00:04:47,680
that came even close to challenging the
120
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,960
first gen roadter Pro and it even came
121
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,479
with the Daw for a startup that's one
122
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:54,440
hell of a deal now the other options
123
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,800
here are just basically other boards or
124
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,080
interfaces like I have here with the Lu
125
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,280
connect
126
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:02,840
I'm plugged into really though going
127
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,120
super cheap really isn't worth it if the
128
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,000
quality of the product can be heard in
129
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
the audio that pod track P4 is still
130
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,639
your best bet even if you're cutting
131
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,840
Corners trust me again with Mike's 2
132
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:16,560
basically going to sound like a broken
133
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240
record there's nothing wrong with an
134
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,319
sm58 if you want to splurge a bit the OG
135
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:24,520
pod mic is great if you have some DSP
136
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,039
effects built into the board you're
137
00:05:26,039 --> 00:05:29,000
buying which is most podcast boards and
138
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,680
several inter faces I might add if you
139
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,400
do have a bit more money though I would
140
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,160
suggest mics like the SE dter lineup of
141
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,080
mics they seem to come in every shade of
142
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,479
gray and even a cheaper model with the
143
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:41,960
gain booster if you're rocking one of
144
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,680
those older boards it's a pretty sweet
145
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,360
deal and of course you have the Pod mic
146
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,479
USB as for headphones I'm going to
147
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:51,520
basically say the entrylevel Audio
148
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,479
Technica series is one of your Best Bets
149
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:57,120
all the way up to these the road nth
150
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,360
100s I absolutely love these and these
151
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,280
are basically going to be all of my
152
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:03,240
recommendations throughout all of these
153
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,960
so if you can the nth 100 are some
154
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,400
fantastic podcasting
155
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,479
headphones okay so two years in Road
156
00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:14,639
still owns a crown for the
157
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:16,360
top-of-the-line podcast Solutions
158
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,240
there's no argument here there's still
159
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,840
nothing better for a multi-person
160
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,280
podcast than the roadcast Pro 2 and even
161
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,560
the roadter duo as the premium choice
162
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,000
for a dual mic setup you pair that with
163
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,280
a couple pod mics you're choosing and
164
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:32,400
you have a fantastic setup again it's a
165
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,000
premium setup these interfaces have yet
166
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
to be replaced as the best of the best
167
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,240
and really that just comes down to the
168
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,840
ecosystem that road is building out from
169
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:44,120
Wireless to mics to vocal effect chains
170
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,960
with the roadter in the middle of it all
171
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,639
all these things are powerful little
172
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:51,319
tools just to set out to prove it Dylan
173
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:53,520
and I actually recorded a studio quality
174
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,520
song with a roadter Duo I mean it's not
175
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,360
the intended usage of the board but
176
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,400
frankly it just goes to show you how it
177
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,440
can handle even complicated workflows so
178
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,639
your podcast is probably a safe bet to
179
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,199
be run through a roadter pro two or a
180
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:10,560
Duo now not to mention with the add-on
181
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840
of virtual channels rad is literally
182
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,759
just answering all the requests and
183
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:16,919
emails that come at them I should also
184
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:18,520
point out as well with one of their
185
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,400
recent updates even that headphone
186
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,800
latency that some people were
187
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,680
complaining about has gotten better from
188
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,720
my measurements I think it got down to
189
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,039
around 7 milliseconds from the 11 that
190
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:32,240
it was before and of course speaking of
191
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,639
ecosystem you got the new roadcast or
192
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:37,199
video joining the fry now it's possible
193
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:39,520
to have a full-on video podcast
194
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,560
production as well especially if you
195
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,120
expand a roadter video with a duo or a
196
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,560
pro two to get more audio channels and
197
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,360
more physical control over your audio
198
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960
now talking about all this I do also
199
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,720
have to throw Mackie into the mix with
200
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,280
the dlz Creator and the dlz Creator Xs
201
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,280
and for an interface that actually does
202
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,479
everything that a roadter Pro 2 does or
203
00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:04,960
at least close to yeah the Mackie is
204
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,599
about as close as it's going to get at
205
00:08:06,599 --> 00:08:09,520
this level now as for microphones the
206
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,680
sky's the limit though remember that SM
207
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,360
7bs are finicky to get sounding right so
208
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,479
if you're just starting out they might
209
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:18,280
not be the best mics for you but
210
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,720
realistically I love the re320 the re20
211
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,879
is awesome they're all great sounding
212
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:27,000
mics from electrovoice the dter from SE
213
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,639
also great find one that gives you a
214
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:32,000
happy and you like the style of it just
215
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,039
go with it now the only thing I would
216
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:36,599
maybe mention with this ultimate package
217
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:39,479
is the pricing these toys don't come
218
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:42,240
cheap so it might be wise to actually be
219
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,159
making money on your content before you
220
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,880
wait into this pool or at least know
221
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,600
that you're about to be making money on
222
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,560
it otherwise you might find yourself
223
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,360
with a bit of purchase regret now the
224
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,000
next question is should I do this same
225
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,640
list but for voiceover let me know down
226
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,240
below cheers guys and thanks for
227
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,240
