This series of videos aims to fill a gap: to tell you which devices are capable to create a podcast with 1-2-3…-8 people present and 1, 2, 3 or even 4 people interviewed over the phone or a VoIP solution like Skype or Zoom.
This is the first video of the series, which explains some basics that you need to conduct phone interviews: what is „mix-minus“ (which makes sure that the podcasts guests on the phone hear you but they don’t hear a feedback of their voice as an echo while speaking) - and how to set it up using the iRig2 guitar adapter.

Great, simple and easy explanation. I learn so much from this, more than all the rest I've seen. Thank you so much!!!
this has to be the best video out there for this application. Simple and easy to follow. Thanks so much.
Thank you. I have been searching for some time for mix minus via iRig2. Great explanation. I used it today. Very nice.
DUDE! You're video is so far ahead of any other iRig 2 to mixer video! The line diagram as well as narration of how and why is fantastic! And you're the only one who advocates for using the amp FX out of the iRig 2 and I'm going to try that after commenting on this. Thank you.
Thanks Matt! Let me know how it worked for you!
it doesn't work i've tried
Clear, concise and to the point. Great work thank you‼️
I had to sub, this was the best example hands Down ✅️
Great tutorial!
Amazing Channel..great work 💪 Brother
thanks for the video.I have one question,my mixer Soundcraft Notepad-8FX. It would be possible to connect it according to this scheme for streaming?I will be grateful for your answer🙏
just subscribed to you from Singapore
appreciate it, thanks! New content is in the works already, will help elevate your Clubhouse presence even further. 😉
I used to connect my Keyboard & microphone to the mixer & need to go for facebook live. As per your connectivity the sound comes to the phone is mono. Not stereo right?
To prevent this issue can i use (spliter) 2x 6.5mm & 1 x 6.5 mm
Connect 2x 6.5mm to Monitor out jacks of the mixer & 1 x 6.5mm to irig2?
Great Video. I'm new to all this and want to try your method as it seems to be the cleanest presentation on how to use the Irig2 with a Mobile Phone. However, I have a Alesis multimix4 that has no Aux Send input; the only inputs I have apart from Mic1&2 are Lin 3/4 (l/r) & Main Out (l/r), 3.5 ext in and HeadPhone jack. Accordingly, it doesn't have Aux knobs but instead it has FX knobs. Would you be able to suggest a Alesis MultiMix4 configuration that would work with the Irig2?
Hi, thanks, glad you liked it! Unfortunately the Alesis Multimix 4 does not have an FX out/FX Send port either, the FX knobs seem to only control the onboard, built-in effects, therefore I’m afraid there’s no way to make it work. You’d have to get another mixer or interface for this purpose. I can recommend you some options but I would need to know your goal: do you need 2 mic inputs or is it only you being present? Do you want to involve one remote guest or more? You may want to check out some of the other tutorials on this channel btw, those list your device options for recording 1-2-3 or 4 people present + up to 4 remote guests.
Wow! Such a great, east to follow and really nicely produced.
I have a quick question- how did you do that 2D mixing diagram effect that rotates 90 degrees to show 3D levels of the diagram around 3:48-3:50? Excellent effect!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this so well.
Hi Andrew, thanks! The entire animation was done with Apple Keynote - this is also a built-in slide transition effect. Can‘t remember what it is called but I‘ll find it for you.
Andrew, the slide transition in Keynote is called „Colour Planes“ and you can access it by clicking outside the slide (not selecting any element on it) and go to „Animate“ on the top right and it is under the group of effects that is called „Flip, Spin & Scale“.
@@PodcastMeister Thank you so much for making the time to look that up and explaining that. Much appreciated!
used to work perfect when using OBS however when I replaced it with streamyard to do the streaming I do get the feedback, nor Igri 1 or 2 works on this... :( I'm using a behringer xenyx x2222usb with a M-Audio Mtrack 2x2 and getting the irig to the pc for zoom calls not the phone... any pointers will be appreciated thanks! Hi from Utah USA
iRig1 has no amp output, so that would not work anyway. Did you switch the Thru/FX switch to FX? On the other hand, since the Xenyx2222 has USB, you may also try to route the PC from its headphone output into one of the line input channels on the mixer (1/8” stereo to dual TS 1/4” mono audio cable) and exclude that channel from the main mix (so effectively from the mix that goes back through the computer from the mixers USB) and utilize the Sub-Group with the Sub-out for yourself to hear everything (push both the ”sub” and the “main” button for each channel at the faders but for the channel where you have routed in the PC from: for that channel only push the “sub” so that you can hear it through the sub-outputs, but it does not get mixed into the main mix) I’m not using Streamyard though, so can’t test it. But if you are using the same PC for the Zoom call and for the streaming, that might be an issue. Worst case you can use a phone for zoom and the PC for streaming, that may be a safer bet.
@@PodcastMeister Ok Great! I will try this, thanks for responding! yeah the other thing if I use a phone it would be for the audio but people wont be able to see the band we are interviewing on the zoom... thanks you a lot!
thank you for your iRig2 how to connect. i just have a question, on my mixer i don' t have a AUX sent to iRig2 guitar, I only have a AUX OUT..
please tell me where to connect .
Hi, it’s the same thing, sometimes the call it AUX OUT, sometimes AUX SEND, depending on the manufacturer of the mixer. You can go out from there into the iRig2. The important thing is that you have an AUX dial for each channel, so you can turn the one down, that you don’t need to be sent back to the guest - but if you have an AUX SEND, you most probably also have AUX dials to regulate what is sent there.
@@PodcastMeister
Thank you very much for your answer!
Great resource! Would you have any idea of how to use the zoom podtrak and irig2 to play music into the clubhouse app through your phone?
Theoretically, if you connect your phone through a simple 3.5mm (1/8”) TRRS (!) audio cable to the phone port on the right side of the Zoom Podtrak P4 (and switch channel 3 to the phone icon), then whatever sound comes into the Podtrak P4 will be routed back into the phone - except for the sounds that come from the phone itself (mix-minus). So you will just need to connect another sound source (ie another smart device or computer) through usb-c to the Podtrak P4, switch channel 4 to the USB-icon and then the Podtrak P4 routes that sound coming out of that second sound source into the phone. You don’t need to use the iRig 2.
Now this is the idea for the phone calls - whether it works with the Clubhouse App, I don’t know (as I don’t have it) but in theory it should, as it works with any other app as well (ie Skype, Zoom, Facetime, Signal, Whatsapp, etc) so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with Clubhouse. Let me know if it worked!
...if you also want to talk into the app beside playing music into it, then take a microphone with an XLR-port, plug it into Channel 1 or 2 on the Podtrak P4 and then your voice will be routed into the app too. (Just pay attention to switch on phantom power - the lightning-icon - if you are using a condenser microphone. If you are using a dynamic microphone the you don’t need phantom power)
@@PodcastMeister thank you, I did try this but it didn't work. Apparently to play music on clubhouse, you have to definitely use the irig2 somewhere in that set up. I thought the way you explained it above would work but it didn't unfortunately so using the above set up, for channel 3 (phone to p4), if we wanted to get the irig2 involves, would we need a 6.5mm to 3.5mm cable to connect the irig2 to the p4? What do you think if that might be the solution?
@@WePlugGOODMusic interesting. What is the music source that you want to route into the phone?
@@PodcastMeister I have my computer plugged into the zoom p4 via usb-c for channel 4 and playing music through there, I could hear the music on headphones and I could hear my voice too through my mic plugged into channel 1 but nothing was coming through to the clubhouse app
Hi if I have a computer headphone output which I want to record on a phone, do I need this device or can I just use a Y splitter cable (2*TRS to TRRS) and connect the headphone out to the mic in on that cable? Regards.
Hi Steffen and thanks for subscribing! Not sure what you are aiming to achieve with this setup. Do you want to just record your computers entire system output to a phone? What exactly? Ie a Zoom-conversation? To which app are you going to record?
…meanwhile I have quickly tested if you can record the headphone out port of your computer (with a TRRS to TRRS cable and also with Røde‘s TRS to TRS + TRS female to TRRS male converter + Apple‘s genuine 3.5mm to lightning dongle) and it did not work for me either way. I will test with the iRig2 as well and get back to you.
Does the new iRig HD 2 also do MIX-MINUS?
None of them do, the mix-minus is set up by the mixer. :) Jokes aside, theoretically it can do the same, as it has the thru/fx switch and the amplifier output, but the phone interface is micro usb and it costs more than double the price. For voice, I would not consider it vs the iRig2.
@@PodcastMeister I’m not sure the iRig HD 2 works. I can’t get a phone call to output through it. Maybe because it’s using the digital lighting audio output to interface? Can you please comment on your thoughts? Might have to return it and get a regular iRig 2?
@@deesto I have never tested/used the HD2, but what I can confirm is that the standard iRig2 does work as intended.
Hi, can I use Behringer XENYX 1002B Mixer? It doesn't have an AUX knob to turndown. thanks
Hi, you are right, however it does have a MON SEND (=MONitor Send) and an FX send, you can use any of those. Same thing, just pay attention when using the FX Send if it is pre-fader or post fader.
@@PodcastMeister Thank you. I will try - and hopefully, I would be successful. I am actually excited.
@@PodcastMeister Thank you, sir! I was about to ask the very same question! Your video is effing brilliant and thank you so much! @KrisGuerroPH, did you get it to work via FX? I have the exact same board.
@@KrisGuerreroPH Did you get it to work via FX? I have the exact same board.
I Rig 2 vs PodTrak 4 ..How's quality different bro?
Calls through P4 seem to sound better. Not to mention the dead easy setup.
@@PodcastMeister Thankuou bro...I do mobile setup with Maono Au100 Lav mic and Auphonic edit ...app bro.wav.Output...is amazing...do check them out and spread good word...it will be very useful for those who just using the phone for podcasting...I have a channel but hard to find time to do a video..
Just in case others make the same mistake as I.... ALL of your OTHER wanted AUX sends do need to be enabled. LOL. OOPS!!!! 🙂
