Hi Zachary my podcast is going to be more interview style. So I'm going to need two mics. Is that possible to get the 2mics and still plug as normal and have the recording work?

[@dreamnvisionz]

Thank you Zach. I'm halfway done to lunch and your video is by far one of the best. Very concise and yet informative. I appreciate it.

[@podcariouslyatoddspodcast111]

JustOtni yes that is possible you just have to select a new track and make sure the new track input is the second mic!. We too are starting a podcast you should subscribe to us. Thanks

[@realzachbabcock]

Yes it is. Get a USB port

[@realzachbabcock]

Thank you and congratulations!

[@djhymntv]

Your brother, DJ Hymn 🙏🏽✨

[@HeyItsEvi]

Damn! That was gold!!!

[@kenwilliamsvoice]

I've watched a dozen podcast video tutorials, (even subscribed to one), by far this is the best of them all! No himming and hawhing and no bullshit!! Yo Zach, whatever mic you used to create this video man, your voice sounds silky smooth. I just subscribed to your channel. Will check out your follow-up videos. Thank you a million times! PS. You just encouraged me to start my own podcast. I have most of what I need, equipment wise. Just needed clear how to steps, 1,2,3! Thx again!

[@realzachbabcock]

You da man! Can’t wait to see what you do with your podcast bro.

[@dwaynerogers12]

Zach B, I loved what you brought to the table. You are genuine and a true teacher. Thank you, great tools but your voice was Platinum. You are going to blow up and I'll have a front row seat.

[@realzachbabcock]

[@davs1wife]

Saw u on Tik Tok telling your story..So that's why I'm here now..I am starting My own Podcast and I'm just researching right now and getting my outline and episodes ready. THANK YOU!!°

[@realzachbabcock]

You’re a rockstar yo

[@marklack1123]

This is golden man. I am going to launch mine using your guidance.

[@starlagrace]

Thanks for this awesome vid! I've been watching tutorials all day but halfway through yours I got my notebook out and actually started taking notes! It was the 4 W's that got me going. Brilliant advice. I appreciate you taking the time to spell this all out so clearly and engagingly.

[@realzachbabcock]

Thank you for the awesome review. Happy to hear this was impactful for you.

[@konkyolife]

Yo Zach, you just saved my company about 30 grand. We were gonna hire an agency to help launch, nope not anymore. We can do this in house! Thanks bro.

[@insideoutgeneralcleaning1061]

Thank you for breaking it down as easy as possible. I watched quite a few videos and they were talkin real fast where I couldn't understand I felt like I had to keep up! Im Looking forward to start my podcast 2020!!!!!!! thanks

[@realzachbabcock]

You’re a rockstar! Looking forward to seeing what you do!

[@sincerelyrob4240]

First off, thank you for what you are doing and I wish you the best success. Also, thank you for any help that you give us who want to get into this world. One thing I will say, though, is that USBS are not designed to pick up the fullness of your voice. In fact they do a very poor job of doing just that. I do believe the richness of your voice is important. I suppose not so much for podcasts but there are all sorts of videos and explanations online of why a USB is robbing you of your voices capabilities. Again, I know this will not be as important for some people but I'm a firm believer in quality.

[@MichelleBurr]

Thank you so much for this! I am starting up a podcast and using your direction step by step. I would highly recommend your podcast series to anyone wanting to start a podcast!

[@realzachbabcock]

You’re a rockstar Michelle. We should connect on Fb, I’d love to check out your podcast 🔥

[@WatchRK]

[@realzachbabcock]

No problem my man!

[@beverlygale1785]

I found your video to be very insightful and informative you have made me think about how to articulate more thoroughly my concepts from your video. You have inspired me to pursue this mew arema. I look forward to your helpful videos. THANK YOU.

[@giobunnytech]

Just made a note of your 4 W's :) I'm really considering doing this. Subbed!

[@realzachbabcock]

You’re a rockstar! Definitely reach out if you need some help.

[@giobunnytech]

@@realzachbabcock I made a page on anchor and considering what mics to use :)

[@starlinkrealtyinc.157]

Good advice man. Thank you.

[@realzachbabcock]

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback

[@MissBabsiesClassroom]

Thanks a lot for the advice Zachary, Imma watch the rest of your videos to see if you talk about video editing. My big question now is how to go about separating or editing video and sound to be able to upload video episodes on KZbin as well as audio for podcast. Your video was super useful. Love your work

[@mji1644]

What an inspirational video ! As a female immigrant that has a lot of obstacles I’m not gonna let shit stop me. All my equipment is in my amazon cart and built as i go. I have a lot to say on so many subjects so thank you !

[@realzachbabcock]

You’re a rockstar. People need to hear your story. Crush it.

[@mji1644]

Zachary Babcock thank you dude !!! I will ! So much love your way homie !!

[@TheProductiveMama]

Incredibly insightful! Thank you for sharing the clip on how to use garage band. I’m currently dreaming and scheming up a future podcast. It seems so overwhelming, but like you said “You don’t know what you don’t know.” I know who I want my audience to be, and I know what the podcast is going to be about BUT narrowing it down to a one sentence description ...hmmm . I talk too much and want to give all details. I’ll need to think on this to portray that clearly and precisely when the time comes.

[@realzachbabcock]

Hard to do sometimes, but ultra important. Keep me updated on your progress!

[@soamazingcleaning1LLC]

Love your story!🙏👏👏👍 Congrats to you Sir.

[@realzachbabcock]

Thank you my friend!

[@ew5044]

Thanks for the tips.

You’re a rockstar 🔥

[@Cryptocup316]

What’s up Bro, I’m glad I found your video I’m getting ready to start a podcast! I’ve also been to prison 22 years, but I’m thriving! I want to share what’s working for me, and all of the many stories, about my experiences and how I think people can definitely learn from! So any advice!

[@realzachbabcock]

So dope my man. This video you just watched plus the rest in this playlist will show everything you need to know to launch. Let me know if you have any questions bro.

[@Cryptocup316]

Zachary Babcock thanks

[@benchristian9789]

Excellent Zach! I've been working on it with Audacity checking out how it works.

[@realzachbabcock]

Wooo! Thank you Ben!

[@shiny_samurai5444]

Do you think you could elaborate more on how to breakdown the description into one sentence??

[@GloOchoa]

You freaking rock! awesome info

[@realzachbabcock]

You’re the rockstar my friend.

[@brandonkriegerKNSS]

Great video Zachary. I had to go away from GarageBand and go over to Reaper because when it came to recording the audio and being able to Sync it with video GarageBand doesn't record in 48 kHz only 44.1 kHz so the audio will start slipping in your video which will look like a bad dub. Most video audio is recorded in 48 kHz or higher. Just a pro tip I ran into early. Keep up the great work!

[@realzachbabcock]

Yep. My videographer and editor showed me the go around with that. When you bring the audio into Final Cut Pro, you have to change the frames per second if you record on garage band.

[@brandonkriegerKNSS]

@@realzachbabcock really how do you do that? I know you can set the project to what video and audio format. Are you just moving the 44.1 kHz file into a project that is set to 48 kHz? I ask because I tried that and there was still audio slipping.

[@maximumblackness]

Greatest video on this subject

[@realzachbabcock]

Thank you my man! Greatly appreciated and glad to help!

[@jeffvirkus]

I've always feared Garage Band up until today. Gettin' ready to launch my podcast. Yer the man, Zack!!!

[@realzachbabcock]

Right back at you!! Crush it!

[@RealityClubX]

I need to record 2 people with 2 microphones, I one end of the microphone's XLR to XLR cable into the USB interface. Plug headphones into AUX, and what next? How do I connect the audio interface with my PC? How do I record from both mics separately? I've got a mixer and a amplifier, which I have no clue what to do with. Can someone help? I'm using Windows btw, not Mac OS.

Back at you Vic!

Love you dude really you are awesome

[@realzachbabcock]

Back at you my friend!

[@garrywalden]

Good job bud! I worked in prisoner re-entry. Do you do any work with people transitioning out of incarceration? Your efforts are right on par with the types of opportunities that are available, and could certainly work, in terms of income development for people transitioning out of incarceration. Prior to the web; and unique user platforms, there were very limited opportunities for people transitioning out of incarceration. The few options they had were culinary arts and environmental services, however, with a little support, someone who has been silenced by way of incarceration, or societal repression, and is driven, can find their voice through these means you have demonstrated. It is pretty extraordinary to move someone from silence and despair to hope. Keep up the good work Zachary!

[@realzachbabcock]

Bro that is awesome. Yeah man I’m getting ready to hire a ex-con for this program I’m developing. The program consists of them starting out working for me learning online marketing and doing task for me, reading books I assign them and talking with me about what they learn, and going through online courses I have access to.

[@reginapontes5672]

@@realzachbabcock Hope you're also doing talks for prisoners and newly released ppl! Your story is awesome! Maybe you'd be interested in doing my podcast The Will Within sharing stories of will, perseverance and inspiration! Let's chat!

You kept saying “Monotone” isn’t it called ..”Metronome “?

How do you find people to interview for a video podcast?? I can't find anyone who's passionate enough to talk about a topic on camera

[@realzachbabcock]

There’s a ton of strategies I show my clients for landing big guests. I would start with mapping out on paper or spreadsheet who you want on your show, then reaching out to them and asking them.

[@Mila-hb1we]

Thank you so much!

You doing the most bro it's a lot less complicated than that

[@realzachbabcock]

If you’re talking about using Anchor, that’s a huge mistake. You don’t own the rights to your content with Anchor and you can’t link to your website.

[@nakcarikayu]

metronome not monotone. Other than that this is good info
