Solo Podcast Microphone | Most of my audio podcast clients use a Podtrak P4 with a Shure/Samson microphone. That unit will connect to a pc via usb C.

If you are recording solo & with video - use a mic with a direct usb connection to your computer-

Multi Participant (same room) Microphones This is where you will want to use a Podtrak P4 with multiple mics. Or, some similar solution for multiple in-room audio tracks mated with a single video camera.

Connect the P4 to the video podcast computer and do your best to level the volume of each in-room participant.

In this scenario, the host can record separate audio tracks for each in-room participant to the memory card of the Podtrak P4 - while simultaneously feeding their audio into the video studio app.
