page 2, steve mentioned the headphone amplifiers.

The grownups do this kind of thing with a mix-minus panel. The person on the cellphone has to hear the whole show without their own voice. The mixed show minus their own voice. Mix-Minus. If you don't do that, the person on the cellphone will not be able to talk. They will hear their own voice retu...

Well, I've been doing another layer of research. Here's the deal, here's the more likely scenario of "3" people at once on the podcast. Me, the co-host and a caller from states away. If my reputation builds due to success, that's when I'll start thinking of inviting a "guest" to the live recordings....

Will do. I'm getting really excited as the pieces are starting to come together. I'm sure I'll run into more problems than I think, but I'm excited to + learn.

I appreciate the scenarios, as it sounds you have much experience in this arena. However I think we might be to the point of now over thinking the operation. And I think it might take me a lot of words to explain why, so I'll save you the trouble

You could use two hand held mics and a 2 channel USB microphone pre-amp. One mic recording to the left channel and one to the right of a stereo pair. Split the stereo pair to two mono channels to get the voices on independent tracks. Pass one of the mics if you nee to include a third person. As far...

ahhhhhh. Ok, I was wondering, I thought I noticed the 3 vs 4 but I must have used my niavity to hope it would work out. Thanks for the suggestion on the mixer though, I haven't selected one yet. I'm trying to figure out what best fits my needs before I spend a dime. Looks like I will move towards th...

You're doing this with your desktop machine? The reason that's important is not that it wouldn't work, but you're immediately tied down to one location and that location needs to be next to wall power. Unless you're on a stage or other performance area, putting your voice in the ceiling speakers do...
