Zoom PodTrak P8 vs Rodecaster Pro: Everything You Need to Know for Podcasting & Streaming

Описание: It’s been a few years since the Rodecaster Pro was first released, and while it's still awesome it's no longer the only name in the game when it comes to all-in-one podcast production devices. The Zoom PodTrack P8 offers some interesting advantages, but does it have what it takes to out master the Rodecaster for an up and coming podcaster?

I should've touched on this more in the video, but the Rodecaster allows you to use a sample rate of 48000, which is great for any video applications. At the time of recording, the Zoom is limited to 44.1.

*The giveaway has ended, thank you to everyone who entered and congrats to the lucky winner! Thank you to Sweetwater Sound for sending me this PodTrack P8 to give away and for supplying me with my very own SM7B!
