Zoom PodTrak P4next podcast recorder

General

Has anyone ever noticed how many podcasts are made these days? Not mere product reviews of an earring, somewhere in a hobby loft, but really good discussion podcasts. The podcasting stuff is getting better and better too eh. Take this Zoom PodTrak P4next, a podcast recorder in a super small size. Good for recording four microphones and listening with four headphones. Fully USB-powered, or - if convenient - with two AA batteries.

Creative possibilities of the Zoom PodTrak P4next

Of course, with today's podcasts, you need a bit more than just recording capabilities. You also want to be able to play an intro, jingle and bumper; four buttons are available for this. Thanks to AI noise reduction, interfering sounds (hums, background noise) are removed as best as possible. 'Tone' enhances your voice in terms of timbre, with some de-essing and some added warmth. A compressor makes the final result a bit more constant in terms of loudness. If you have some bigger plans, for example phone traffic, we can recommend the extra investment in the Zoom BTA-2, a bluetooth adapter.
