You can still bring your own mic for a more professional set up, but it is also a good idea to have the Zoom handset sat between you and the guest. However, if you are meeting them out in a public location, you will need a portable recorder. Recording a guest in your own ‘studio’ is no issue, all you would need to set up is an additional mic. An advantage of the H5 is you can just use it as a mic itself for when recording out and about, which brings us to our next subject, recording guests. You can of course skip mixers all together and invest in a Zoom H5 Portable Recorder in which you can plug your mics directly into the handset. There are of course many other options, but this has been my set up since recording music a few years back and it gives me great sound. Secondly, will you use a mixer? I personally record using two Shure SM58 mics plugged into a Alesis multimix 8 USB FX, which I connect to my mac via USB, and record through Logic X. This previous blog of ours goes deeper into which microphone could work best for you here. USB mics are affordable and easy to set up and use, and your sound won’t suffer too much, but depending on your budget and the goals for your podcast, you can go bigger and better. There are so many mics to choose from, it can be daunting to know where to start. You can even record simply through your phone, but if you are after a listenable, great quality sound, I wouldn’t recommend it. The beauty of podcasting, is that anyone can do it. So, you are ready to actually start recording your podcast, how exciting! Time to look at your set up for recording.
