This is one of those videos that proves there is hope for the internet. Concise, enthusiastically delivered and well thought out. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks, Adam. I've always used Skype and Call Recorder, but now I have your method as an alternative. I like having alternatives :) Have been totally enjoying The Pub for the last year. thanks for all that you do.
Thank you for the professional quality video and telling everything one would need. As a UA-camr on his way to his 10year anniversary I can say this is still very rare on the platform. Amazing Job sir!
Love this! Thank you, Adam. I've been determined to do all of my interviews in person (as you know, it just sounds better), and I'm a stickler for sound. I live and work in Los Angeles, so I have quite a pool of local guests to choose from. But I found myself having to interview people who aren't local and had to bite the bullet and find a way to do it. This worked like a charm! Thank you for this video!
Lol just spent like an hour looking up videos going around the bush, trying to find all this info in pieces. little did i know you have a video targeting my exact question. Thank you.
Thank you for this! Glad I read the description. I’m trying Loopback now. I lost my audio mixer in a move so I’ve been trying to do this without buying a new one. Appreciate this!
I don't usually comment but I had to say - fantastic video. You have a great teaching style. Less is more. To the point, clear, funny points, covered everything. Subscribed. Thank you!
Huge is not the word. Worked the very first time. The only suggestion I might add is if you have a little mixer like a Mackie Mix 8 for $80 or so, you have alot of PRE control before it hits the zoom. You can pan the mic hard left and the computer hard right, add treble or bass to your mic, and still isolate the tracks into the zoom. But thanks, Adam
Greetings Adam, thank you for the useful information. I ordered my 1/4" to 1/8" cable adapter from B&H and explained to the salesman what I was using it for (as per your suggestion) and he thought feedback will result because I'll have both a recording mic plugged into my H6 and the computer mic I'll be using to speak to my caller/guest. On your demonstration I clearly witnessed your call to the girl was quite clear and hiss free. I expect the adapter cable to arrive later this week.
Damn I actually used the tips in this video years ago, now I came by the channel because of the recipes and I’m like - WAIT WTF I KNOW THIS DUDE 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome content mate!!!
Hey Adam, this video is quite old, but I just got a used Marantz PMD661, because I thought this method would work with it. I don't think it does, or maybe it does, depending on which mic I use. The 661 doesn't have multitrack recording and for the two channels it supports you can just switch on one input setting LINE, MIC or MIC48. For my hypercardioid condenser mic I need P48, but for the phone I need LINE. So unless I have missed something, it looks like I can't use the Marantz PMD661. :-(
Thanks buddy. I was struggling with this for a couple of days, I watched a bunch if vids on this and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I was using a stereo cable not a mono cable. I would still probably be struggling if you didn't mention that. Legend!!
Did that fix the problem? I'm currently working on a podcast with this same setup but stereo cables, and have been getting gnarly feedback / static issues
Hi, this one of the best videos I have seen in this category! I am under pressure to produce remote interviews and after watching your video I was considering going that route. Now you mention that you no longer use an external recorder. Could you elaborate a bit more on this? Thanks.
Yeah, possible to do it all within the computer if you have a good USB mic. But for my fellow radio people, most of us have recorders and mics and no USB mic. I also like the stability of going to a dedicated flash recorder rather than going to hard drive.
That's great, if you just looking for audio. For those seeking a face to face camera type of interview podcast recording, does the same method apply via google hangout or does one have to opt for something like Skype?
Is there any way to get a higher quality recording of the call? Is it just a matter of what program you use to talk? From what I know, FaceTime audio is pretty clear and doesn’t sound like your typical staticky phone call! Would that still work? And do you know if there’s any other method that could work without that external device?
Yeah, you can use this method to record any type of connection you do with your computer. Skype, FaceTime, ipDTL, anything. And yes, there are many ways to do this without an external recorder. Lots of other videos on UA-cam cover those methods.
I prefer to use the mixer to the recorder. Also there is a cable that you can use a recorder to a phone. I done the two mic thing and it seems counterintuitive. You have great gear so I wouldn't go with this route.
I use Audio Hijack all the time, but there's two reasons I prefer recording to an external device: 1) It's safer. You could have a computer crash while you're recording straight to your drive that would cost you the whole file; 2) I don't have a USB mic. I use my Zoom as an audio interface when I need to plug my mics directly into my computer. And if I've already gone through the work of getting out my Zoom, I figure I might as well record to it, rather than my drive.
Adam, I'm starting a new podcast and need the ability to record someone on a phone from a remote location. I'm a voiceover guy so I have all my studio equipment plus a DAW (Audacity). I've set up Google Voice and all ready there. Can't I just record directly into Audacity from Google voice without an external recorder?
Adam, thanks for this video. I've tried it out and unfortunately haven't had similar results. I've tried to troubleshoot and find other videos but yours seem to be the most reliable. Any suggestions where you found tips for your setup?
Great video. With this setup, is there any way to use your XLR microphone as the audio they're hearing? Or is it because the headphone jack is being used as output, it can't also be used as input?
@AdamRagusea Ok, do you have any videos on how to select a good and simple to use multi-voice editor and what to do, technically speaking, after that? I have the zoom H4n I have one interview recorded on it....what do I do next??
Hi Adam, I don't think that the PMD 661 will work, because while it can accept XLR and mini inputs, I think it can only record one or the other at a time and not both. So, to do it with a Marantz PMD 661 I think one would have to have a mixer.
Justin Podur No, you can absolutely do this method with the 661 by using the two XLR inputs. All you need is a mini-to-XLR cable for the computer audio. Set the Marantz to record in "split stereo," and your mic will record to one channel while your computer records to the other. Then all you have to do is split the stereo file into two mono tracks before you start editing.
Adam, at 1:18 you discuss the cable that goes from the computer into the recorder and that you can use a XLR balanced end that feeds into the recorder instead of the 1/4" mono plug. But would this set-up, the XLR end, present any problems like you describe at around 1:24?
This is an old video meant for a specific audience and this probably isn’t a good method for you. See updated description.
hey I just want to say you are awesome man goodluck on your success
Absolutely delicious! 10/10 will try again!

This guy looks like he’d be really good at cooking
Hahahah
God that was such a great video. If only everything I needed to know from the web was explained by this guy.
Well he’ll teach you cooking if you check his Channel now
Completely different subject, but he still gives instructions in the exact same style
The only low stress no fuss tutorial on recording phone convo's that keeps it simple and to the point. That's what i needed. ty Adam.
This is one of those videos that proves there is hope for the internet. Concise, enthusiastically delivered and well thought out. Thanks for taking the time.
This is exactly what I was hoping for without even searching for H6N multitrack setup. Really appreciate the simple guide.
When do I add the white wine?
Great video. Way to get RIGHT to it and explain what we needed to know without any fluff. Nice job. Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks, Adam. I've always used Skype and Call Recorder, but now I have your method as an alternative. I like having alternatives :) Have been totally enjoying The Pub for the last year. thanks for all that you do.
Great video! I don't even plan to record a podcast, but I still enjoyed you explaining this.

Good tutorial. You just gained another subscriber. Thanks for the tips!
Very complete explanation. covered the basics well.
This guy looks like Josh Groban.
Some might say, instead, that Josh Groban looks like me.
Totally lol
@@aragusea Lol! Have any good videos about podcast editing?
He does. Wonder if he sings like him.
This is still valid in 2020 for getting good audio with no extra 3rd party apps etc.
He seems like he’s be really skilled at making cooking videos.
Well done Adam. Succinct and comprehensive. Thanks for posting!
Adam's sharp, pungent Philly accent is on full show hear for any listeners with perked ears!
Melissa, you are a good sport. Thanks Adam.
Fabulous. Thanks so much for this Adam.
Thank you so much for this help. I will get the cables and get started practicing this week.
OMG thank you for being clear and simple! This is wonderful
Nice job!This is very useful.

use a mono 3.5 mm bud
This guy looks good at cooking.
Thanks for the vid! Went out and bought an H4n Pro after Skype (on Windows 10) disconnected on an international phone interview. Great tutorial.
This was before Adam became known for his cooking videos.
Thanks! That's helpful for my podcast!
Liked for the iPhone bash alone 😂😂😂
You need to put a link to Amazon or somewhere on where to buy this recorder, mic, etc... :)
Just what I needed to record some family ancestry interviews!! Thank you
Exactly what I was looking for--cheers!
Wow you explained that so well--thanks so much. I feel like I can do this now!!!
I wonder how this guy roasts his turkey

Works great... still all these years later
Great video! Easy to understand and follow. Thanks
Dude. Solid tutorial!
Enjoyed this Adam
thanks for sharing excellent tutorial.
This was great and very helpful! You just save me a money! Woohoo!
Big time help!!! Thank you so very much!!
Man, imagine if this guy had a cooking channel
Good one. I need to do this very thing and this helps. Thanks.
I tried it out and...it tasted great
Thank you!
Very helpful! Thank you.
Really useful tip! Thanks.
Great tutorial. Thanks.
Great video, I appreciate it! I'm assuming the same setup still works today (late 2018)?
Very helpful, thanks for share!
This is awesome, thank you
That'll work great. Another way lots of pod casters do it is via software like Call Recorder or Audio Hijack.
Yeah, possible to do it all within the computer if you have a good USB mic. But for my fellow radio people, most of us have recorders and mics and no USB mic. I also like the stability of going to a dedicated flash recorder rather than going to hard drive.
Great video! Adam - what kind of mic are you using? The clarity is awesome!
You can also enable call recording on google voice.
That's great, if you just looking for audio.
For those seeking a face to face camera type of interview podcast recording, does the same method apply via google hangout or does one have to opt for something like Skype?
Is there any way to get a higher quality recording of the call? Is it just a matter of what program you use to talk?

Very strange recipe but I think I'll try it.
Why I record my microphone, and not my voice
Should I season my Zoom H4N?
Great man! Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. How are things going on in South Georgia?
Good video - rogue amoebas Loopback software can also give you some added flexibility / functionality

I don't think Melissa was expecting that call.
Thank you, Adam. But where is the updated description?
Thanks so much for this!

Hi Adam! What microphone are you using in this video? It sounds great :)
rode nt1a
Thanks. Have you toyed with the AT2020 at all? Any idea how they compare?
Ty, very informative.
@AdamRagusea Ok, do you have any videos on how to select a good and simple to use multi-voice editor and what to do, technically speaking, after that? I have the zoom H4n I have one interview recorded on it....what do I do next??
Audacity is free for PC. Then there's DAW like Cubase, Pro Tools, Logic etc for arranging and mixing the final tracks.
Praise God for this
Dude, you ROCK!!
I was looking for a video like this for my UA-cam channel.
You can easily do this in 2019 with Audio Hijack or even Audacity on PC, especially if you've got your mic coming in through an audio interface.
Hi Adam, I don't think that the PMD 661 will work, because while it can accept XLR and mini inputs, I think it can only record one or the other at a time and not both. So, to do it with a Marantz PMD 661 I think one would have to have a mixer.

Why dont you jack to jack via the XY mic add on that comes free with the H6? Is there a reason this approach is better?
