Excellent point about the "recording" indicator light not being obvious enough. As you said, of all the lights they've got on there, that should be the biggest one. I like the Blue Yeti Pro mic for this reason. The "live" indicator light is very obvious, and it's also very obvious when it's on "mute."

Pod tracker! I bought a 3rd part AC power source bc I use this in-studio. I had the H6 for years but the headphone jack starting getting more and more loose. Looking online, this was a common problem that couldn’t be fixed. That’s why I got Podtrack. Being able to give in-studio guest(s) headphones is great! Just hoping the inputs don’t get loose over time.

At mark 6:22 you say you can Havel “all xlr inputs” recorded to your computer through the usb audio interface. The manual says it’s a 2 in / 2 out audio interface. So can you really send 4 xlr inputs to your PC to say live stream or record the 4 mics on some external audio software like Audacity.

And do the 4 headphone outputs monitor an individual XLR or the whole mix entirely.

Hey there, I'm not too much of an expert in this but i presume u are trying to use the P4 as a headphone splitter? And the main input will be from the mics into your mixer correct? Although I can't be 100% sure, it does sound logical. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful :)
