FYI I've just bought a Zoom P4 for 142€, on Amazon (price is very fluctuating, at least here in Italy). It's perfect for my needs: remote guest(s) or remote location interview, in which case I don't need to bring along a PC for recording, just the P4, two mics and a power bank.
If you pair it with two Behringer XM8500 with cables you barely reach a 200€ budget!
Great Review.... Thank You i'll definitely check out these options
As someone using the P4, vocaster one & 2 (because the sale price on the 2 is TOO good) I really enjoyed this tier list. Great video
Thank you! I also enjoy watching your channel! 👍
HI... Thank you for incredible video very helpful...I ask you for advice which audio interface can I use for recording podcast with voice and mix with the music similar radio broadcast? thanks for attention and sorry for my bad English...I'm from Italy Venice town...by
Hi, how are you? I was wondering what would be a better purchaase between the zoom p4 (or maybe the zoom p8) and the tascam mixcaster 4 for podcast reocording, I know there is a jump in price but I feel that they are the two most compatible between the rest. are the preamps better on the tascam? I am using audio technica 2040 mics and noticed that my focusritte is not getting the gain I need (its an old 6i6 first gen).
Bought a vocaster 2 yesterday, new, €69 😁😎
Do you like it? I might buy one as well.
@@UnboxerofWorlds very much worth the low price. Even if you just use it to add Bluetooth to your existing setup. Easy to use and sound good.
@@annebokma4637 Sounds great. Thanks!
Good list. So helpful this tier list visually speaking. You just put on the top the two interfaces I’m between. Knowing I can buy any one of them (Vocaster 2 or P4) for the same price, which would you go for? Aside, which owns the best audio quality in your opinion? Thanks
From 13:22 in the video you‘ll have a semi-detailed comparison between the two (and the Vocaster One. It really depends on your needs: if you don‘t mind that you‘ll have to use a computer with a 3rd party multitrack recording software installed, the Vocaster Two is great. Both have excellent audio quality, but the Vocasters by now also have (somewhat) adjustable voice processing. Also the headphone amps on the Vocaster are better imho. If you ever want to record 3 remote guests, the Vocaster Two is the only one that gives you this option in this price class.
Having said that, still, for me, nothing beats the simplicity of being able to just press a button on the device and record in multitrack and being able to use sound pads. I personally would go for the P4.
@@PodcastMeister Thanks for your quick answer. I have two types of podcast, one of them is in companion and doesn’t need too much edition, but the other one needs because I tell stories, voice over fiction. I really prefer the flexibility of the P4, but was concerned because all the people who says 16bits is not enough for voice overs. I’m not an audio expert, just want simplicity in my workflow and good sound quality, your answer really helped me. Keep going like this.
@@manuelarreza6788 16bit is perfectly fine for voice recording - 24bit would give you more dynamic range and a little more headroom in post, but you‘re not recording complex musical tracks stacked upon each other, so as long as you have your gain level right and watch out for the mic technique (16bit recording is said to be easier to clip) and sound treatment, you shouldn‘t be constrained with 16bit at all. All CD‘s were 16bit btw.
On top of that, the Zoom P4 has a pretty good limiter built in (even though it‘s only digital) which further helps.
15:16 Wow the graphics! 😮
Excelent Video and I totally agree with you. Well, I would add the impossibility of P4 to record with 48khz sample rate, It could be a problem if you would like do recorde with video or for video. I would like to see in this list the portable recorder Zoom H6. Thank's for the video.
Thank you! Agree, the 44kHz/16bit is indeed a limitation of the P4, although I have to say I‘ve recorded the audio for quite some videos with it and did not have issues syncing them (for longer videos it might be an issue though)
The Zoom H6 did not fit into the 300€/$ limit. :( But even if it did, the cumbersome way of wiring and setting up mix-minus with it is such a pain that I would have probably - and subjectively- ranked it rather low for ease of use. Also because - while it indeed has great audio quality - but even with this cumbersome mix-minus setup the maximum one could achieve is a single remote guest. So if it would be below 300, I would have probably put it in the C-tier.
Will there be a Tier list for everthing above $300?
❤
Video for Streaming also.
No Motu M2 or M4?
Nope. I was thinking about them, but you don‘t get the software mixer app with them, so no routing, consequently no mix-minus either. You only get the CueMix app for the Motu Ultralite mk5, which is above 700. I think they are world class interfaces, but if you are at the sole mercy of 3rd party communication apps to be able to have even a single remote guest, they don‘t meet a basic condition imho. Having said that, I‘d be happy to be proven wrong, as I really like both.
@@PodcastMeister it would’ve been nice if you mentioned all of that in the video. Perhaps you can do a video on great interfaces that don’t work well for podcasting.
@@rickonmic true, but then it would have been an hour long video. 😀
UA Volt series, Motu M series, Apogee Boom, Focusrite Scarlett Solo and 2i2… but you‘re right, that‘s a fair point and a good idea.
@@PodcastMeister yeah. Maybe a separate video would be good. I’d definitely watch that.
Zoom wins for $179 with internal recording is a Non Brainer!
