I like your medium range set-up. If we have two podcast hosts who will bring on a guest, is there a way to use the Vocaster Two with three mics?
Beginner Setups:
Mic: Fifine AM8 (USB/XLR) – https://geni.us/24rFV
The title is misleading, you only talked about audio. I saw the whole thing waiting for cameras, lighting, etc.
Audio Interface: Focusrite Vocaster Two – https://geni.us/sCRK
Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-M20x – https://geni.us/vH977BN
What did you use to mount the Rodecaster?
XLR Cables: https://geni.us/b8JrjJ
Pro Setup:
Thank goodness for your video! I would've spent weeks researching this on my own and probably would've ended up changing my mind about doing this project but now I feel more excited.
Console: RØDECaster Pro II – https://bit.ly/thinkrodecasterproii
Pro Mic: Shure SM7dB – https://geni.us/uwAG
I've been wanting to make a podcast for a while now.This is awesome, thanks!
Cloudlifter: https://geni.us/QplMAF2
Mic Arm: Neewer Low Profile Boom Arm – https://geni.us/BLQght
@ThinkMediaTV I have a blue yeti mic, and headphones, but I still am unsure if I need to actually have a pc for this and not just my laptop? Or is that possible that I do not necessarily need to drop $2,000+ on PC?
Headphones: Sennheiser HD 280 Pro – https://geni.us/IWDXnAb

Would you recommend Vocaster 1 for someone that doesn’t plan on doing in person cohost podcast but needs an ASAP setup as a podcast panel ongoing guest (not in person)??

Hello, excellent tips and guidelines. Question, what is the best recommendation of video switcher to use 2 o 3 cameras for me to do a solo podcast (no assistant at the studio room) and maybe sometimes with a remote guest.

In this video, we break down exactly what you need to start a podcast at every budget level. Whether you are a solo creator looking for a simple $50 USB setup or a business owner ready to build a professional multi-person studio, this guide covers it all.
Using a logitech Brio 4k webcam and a Yeti Blue Yeticaster setup from a while ago. I know I need to upgrade. Budget is always the hurdle. Was given a Scarlett Solo and an AKG P220 (condenser) haven't tested yet and know its a condenser. Record using Riverside and am currently rebranding my podcast for new release very soon.
We start with the Beginner Solo Setup, featuring the plug-and-play Fifine AM8 and how to pair it with Riverside.fm to record high-quality 4K video podcasts without tech headaches.
Next, we graduate to the Budget 2-Person Setup, perfect for in-person interviews. We show you how to use the Focusrite Vocaster Two interface to manage two microphones and headphones for under $250 total.
🎯 I’m Starting a new Podcast! This was the best YouTube content on helping first time podcasters! Thank you for the extensive podcast equipment recommendations and suggestions on how to make your podcast experience the best. 🙌🏽
Finally, we reveal the Pro Level Setup used by top podcasters, featuring the RØDECaster Pro II and the legendary Shure SM7dB. We explain why this gear is worth the investment for long-term growth and how it simplifies your workflow with onboard processing.
By the end of this video, you will know exactly which setup is right for you so you can stop researching and start recording.
The bible for content creators! 📹📈 Your strategy breakdowns are worth millions! 🔥

Thanks for sharing this ❤
@donnsylvaaSuperb
@RavinderSingh-ft5dwI'm listening to this with headphones, and idk why, but for some reason the FiFine microphone sounds a bit better than the SM7B. Great video and very informative!
@ERA_ProductionsThank you for your videos!Please advice, i have a vocaster one
And want to buy shure sm7db,
But i read that its internal preamp gives much more noise, than sm7b with fethead/lifter.
What u think i should buy? Thank you!
