Apologies if this has already been stated, but I get people to do the interview with me on Zoom - via their laptop and I ask them to set their phone up to simultaneously record their voice (Voice memo on IOS is ideal). I have them e-mail me the final sound file and it's like we are both in the same studio! Outstanding quality and NEVER a wifi or bandwidth issue as the recording is done locally. Hope this helps.
My solution works just fine. Maybe it will work for someone else , too. For audio only, though. Remember you're taking the call in your phone. It would help if you both have a full battery in your phones. You buy a cable that connects to your phone's stereo mini jack and turns into a 1/4 mono male connector that you'll insert to channel two of your audio interface (as if you'd be recording a guitar/instrument). Now your mic and the other person's phone audio are entering and being recorded in two separate channels in your DAW software. The rest is simply getting the right volume levels for each channel and asking the other person to stay in one place (hopefully using his or her own phone earpiece for comfort and where signal is good and clear and audio is getting through OK). Best of all, you are in control of the recording, files and everything. Then simply press the Record button and start the conversation :-)
I just started using the RØDECaster which will allow someone to call in from their phone (Landline or Cell phone) and you can record directly to the RØDECaster. The Zoom L8 also has a similar feature so I'd highly recommend either of those if they're available to you
I did exactly what you said not to do. I refused to sacrifice sound quality so I sent a mic to a guest who was 70 years old and computer illiterate. He had the whole thing set to go in like 2 minutes. You never hear this side of the story. My advice is if you have a little technical know how, never sacrifice quality for ease of use. There is always another option, there is always a way to get the quality you hold yourself to. Bad audio is one of the first reasons people will shut something off.
We are a roundtable podcast of 5 co-hosts plus occasional guests and often times there is an insufferable echo that we can't get rid of on cleanfeed. Will definitely be trying Zoom for sure next time.
What about a standard mobile call? There is an option to record that one? Many times guests have no time to download apps or have the skills to use zoom or skype.
Here's a great walkthrough that shows exactly how to record you audio. We recommend turning on the option to record tracks separately. ruclips.net/video/YT3SHcapD3E/видео.html

Thank you for the tip, Mark! That's a simple way to do type of "double-ender" recording.
Good idea!
can you explain that more
Thank you !!!
So do I record mines at the same time while we are on zoom as well? & then combine the 2 files together ? Sorry, trying to learn here lol
Hey, The video doesn't answer the questions sufficiently. How do we actually record the call and turn it into a file that we can later upload?
Thank you the helpful tips on phone recording.

Yes I’m getting the zoom L8 but do you need something for it like cables or nah?
@@reborngreatnesss5712 With the L8 you •would* need to use cables to connect up your mobile site it does not support bluetooth

That's super dedicated! Great work. Which microphone did you send him?
Thank You for this video
I was having the same question
Happy to help!
Right into the nuts & bolts. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know if you have any ideas for videos.
Thanks for sharing that information.
If it's audio only, then use Cleanfeed. Best tool for audio calls I've used yet.

@@gordonthane971 that can happen any time someone doesn't wear headphones and their audio leaks back into the mic, I don't think that's fixable
@@simonhorak good point but one time we switched to Skype because there was an echo and it immediately went away without adjusting any hardware.
Helpful. Thank you.
Very helpful thanks
Thanks a zillion. How can use a simple phone calls to record a podcast on anchor FM? Thanks for helping
What about a standard mobile call? There is an option to record that one? Many times guests have no time to download apps or have the skills to use zoom or skype.
Great
Thanks, Madison!
BRILLIANT! Thank you!
can you go in more depth info about zoom? thank you!
Hi Sofia, I recommend checking out this video: ruclips.net/video/HH37iHiXUhY/видео.html
How do actually record their zoom voice? I don’t think you said. Great video otherwise!

GOOGLE VOICE N/A in Canada don't know why have a good idea but nevertheless, you can't get any freenumbers in Canada
Not everyone who has a cell phone has a wifi signal.
