Thanks James! We went with Zoom and love it! I liked being able to edit content while recording directly on the device. I like that each track is recorded and can be edited in post production. I like the size and battery function. It’s easy to transport, and it really does sound great. Please do a “going live” instruction video with the Zoom when time permits. 💜 Simone
Thank you very much for this video. You may have said it in the video, but my English is not good enough. That's why I wanted to ask in writing. I live stream on Twitch. I don't know if I should buy the Behringer Flow 8. What I'm wondering is this. When I use all these effects and digital audio enhancements, will I experience a latency when monitoring the audio? Latency in hearing myself prevents me from speaking fluently. Is it a suitable device for radio broadcasts on Twitch? I use Behringer x1222 analog mixer in my live broadcasts. You know, when I speak, I turn down the volume of the music with a fader. When I'm done speaking, I turn the music back up. Spotify music sound from my computer and my voice from my microphone go to the broadcast as a single stereo mix. In other words, when I add any digital effects to my microphone, my music sound is affected because they all go on the air as a mix. Whereas, I want to make sound improvements to my microphone input and music input separately. Do you think it would be a significant upgrade? Will this solve my problem? For this kind of solution, I normally have to use an expensive and large digital mixer like the Presonus StudioLive 16. And I'm looking for a more compact and cheaper solution. You can also suggest a different mixer. Thank you so much.
As it stands, when thinking about adaptability, audio quality for recording and physical layout, we prefer the Rodecaster. But the Zoom still has plenty of room to improve with software updates and feature expansions.
I quite like the rode but the zoom was not available at the time, I feel I would probably still go with rode. The only issue I have personally is on windows with the driver. In multitrack recordings using say Radiodj to usb channel and Audition, when I want to hear back a section I have to change from asio to mme in audio hardware setting then back again to carry on. It maybe that usb I believe is only 2 way so is tied up or just not how it was designed. I think mac os not an issue. In real use not a deal breaker as u would normally record show then edit rather than stop start swapping back and forth I guess.
great unit ,however you just can't play pc or laptop sound when mix- minus is on and internal record ,your restricted to only 8 banks as you can't scroll through ,update i hope willsove these issues

Thanks for the kind words Simone, glad we could help.
The instructional video is something we'll have to work on when we have the time.

Client asking for a cheaper alternative, what is your recommendation?
Good information!
Thanks. We sort of cover misers briefly for broadcasters just starting out: radio.co/radio-university/how-to-start-an-internet-radio-station
I have Rodecaster Pro for streaming radio. I need your honest opinion, which one is better from both for streaming radio application?

@@Radiodotco Thank you for the reply. God bless you all.
I think the Zoom sounds more natural with all the microphones but I think I like the build of the Rode better.
Great observation! The Rode has a bunch of options for shaping the audio to your voice as well, so it's pretty flexible.

Great feedback!
Any chance of you gibing away one of the two devices, please I can't afford one myself as a Podcaster and radio Presenter
Not right now, sorry!
The rodecaster gives you a fuller voice.
The different settings for voices really make it flexible and easy to get a great sound out of.
compare with tascam mixcast 4
Funnily enough, we're getting one ☝️
