The Zoom PodTrak P8 is essentially Zoom’s answer to the RØDECaster Pro.
From the great Daniel J. Lewis of Podcasters’ Society: The Zoom PodTrak P8 “has several things the RØDECaster Pro doesn’t have, like a de-esser, built-in editing, more inputs and headphone outputs, and AA-battery powering. It outputs to USB only as stereo, but records in multitrack.”
And I’m sure that the RØDECaster Pro has features that the PodTrak P8 does not have, but I don’t own either so I haven’t looked into it that far.
Are you psyched about this new piece of gear? Have you looked into it? Are you going to get one?

Just to quickly correct a couple of things … the RØDECaster Pro does have a de-esser built in, quite configurable, too, for each of the four mic inputs. It also has battery powering as an add-on option, although for a time they were offering it as a free addon with new purchases.
I didn’t realize the P8 didn’t have multi-track out via USB — that would be a major disadvantage. On the RØDECaster Pro I record multi-track out to Adobe Audition as well as on the device itself so I have a full automatic backup.
Thanks Bob!
Is there anyway to use this as an interface with a Samsung phone so you can live stream and record the audio at the same time?
Unfortunately I have no idea because I’ve never even seen a P8. Apologies. If you search Youtube for that particular scenario you will probably find the answer.
