What is the difference between the Podcaster and the Procaster ? (Both are same price)

I think only the color is different. Podcaster is white and Procaster is black. Anyway I'm not sure. I have a Podcaster(white). I like it and it's great!

The Podcaster is a USB microphone, meaning it will plug into your computer's USB port and work with Skype or other audio programs. The Procaster is a similar microphone, but uses an XLR plug to attach to other pieces of audio gear. The Procaster will NOT work directly with a computer without some other kind of device in between. In other words, the Podcaster has all of the digital conversion bits built into it. The Procaster is strictly analog.

They are both great. The pro caster is a little better sounding but it does not have headphone monitoring or usb. If you have a mixer and phantom power and xlr cables and need a mix for more than I one person for an interview, the pro is better

I assume the pro model is more robust and for frequent or even professional pod casters, but I don't really know.

That's debated. Both are considered top tier, and it depends on the listener (and the version of the turbine pro)

The New "pro" version has the mic in the cable, the old monster version does not include a mic

I heard logic pro was pretty good, i was initially trying to purchase it; but they don't make it for my computer. Mixcraft was recommended by a friend of mine.

The Pro has a larger container so that you don't have to do multiple batches for the same mix of food. Other than that, they're the same. There's also one with two pro containers, in which case you can steam and process two different kinds of food simultaneously.

I do not own both versions, but I believe the main difference is that the Pro-version comes with an additional filter, the white-colored "Low Protection" filter. The low protection filter would be used in situations where you still would prefer some form of hearing protection, but do not need maximum protection and would like to retain a good deal of clarity. An example I might imagine would be in a loud bar, where you would like to turn down the loud music while still being able to maintain a conversation with your friends.

They are not all the same. I have found the noise cancelling mics to perform quite differently among each brand. We are using five of these at work. We have tried several others and this one works better than most in this price range. It blocks out most of the background noise.

I have the Rode video mic pro, purchased before I bought the Shure VP83 (without the on-board recorder - I have a pro camcorder that records uncompressed audio). The Shure has much less handling noise. All around, the Shure is a better mic. It's worth double the price considering its meaningful and significant advantages over the Rode. Finally, as an Amazon purchaser, you have the back up of a stellar on-line retailer for return purposes.

It is very much wroth the extra $100. The Pro 40 has some great preamps and you'll get two headphone out's. One for you and another for your vocalist.

This is a GREAT mic for podcasting! Many of the top podcastors use and recommend the ATR 2100, but they all say that the AT 2005 looks better. You can just plug it into your computer and use free audio software to record your podcast episodes. It really is that simple to get great sounding audio. The construction is very solid. I have used mine in the heat and humidity of West Africa for almost a year now with no complaints. Mike Phillips, a very reputable expert on microphones, has some great things to say about this mic as well. It is a podcastors must have!

Both have the EXACT same dimensions so one must assume the speakers inside are exactly the same; both have 4 drivers. I haven't compared side-by-side but the Studio sounds awesome and costs less than half as much. The costlier Onyx merely has additional ways of wireless input than the Studio (which has only Bluetooth) plus fancier "package" like leather and SS handle/stand. The net weight of both is almost identical so that's another reason to assume the "hardware insides" are basically the same. The Studio was released a year later (2014) than the Onyx (2013).

Nothing. No difference. Also, if you order the pro, you will be charged more and still receive the base model because the pro can't be sold without a prescription. That happened to me and I ended up keeping the standard model out of convenience and the fact that it worked great. Save the money and don't get ripped off. Buy the standard model.

Quasar is my favorite, I've tried numerous devices and this is the only one that worked, but I didnt notice any difference between the pro and the cheaper quasar

From what I can tell, it is the physical knobs for each of the controls. Also when I did the research I was looking at the Compact and the Producer, and they only had 16 XLR input channels and from what I could tell, you had to purchase the S16 digital snake. I opted for the full board as everything is available right in front of you and there are less "layers" that you have to scroll through (IE on the Compact or Producer I believe that you have 4 separate buttons with 8 channels each and with the full board you only have 2 buttons with 16 channels each. I am no doubt a professional yet, but I wanted to learn on a full board with as much in front of me as possible and that why i chose this. Was it right, that I do not know but i LOVE the board and so does the band that I mix for. On the rack mount version - I really know nothing about it. I would assume that its the same and maybe controlled by the X32 control software available. The large board hooked up perfect to my DAW (Studio One) and connected pretty easy with my MAC. I ran into a little trouble with the LAN because I connected a wireless router to a wireless router, but after I figured this out it works like a champ. Another reason I went with the X32 versus digital boards is how many youtube videos I could find on training. Excellent selection - many of which are from Church perspectives but its a band they are mixing - and usually have more to deal with than straight mixing music. Hopefully that is a little explanation - but if I was to spend the money for the Compact, Producer or the Full board, hands down I would purchase it again. While it might be $100-1500 difference, the full board for me works great.

I don't know the feature differences between the units, so I can't suggest a direction based on that. I usually fall towards buying the most up to date platform since this is an investment and you likely will have it for some time. An extra $100 is probably not significant given how you will spend even for the DS1512+. I can easily say that the DS1512+ will easily keep up with 2 users. I have 4 in my household, iTunes library, photo library, Movie and DVR library feeding 4 Rokus (streamers). Granted all is not active at once but never has the DS1512+ bogged down, except when I ask it to trans-code a movie on the fly. It does not have enough CPU for that, by design.

I don't know as I haven't compared the two. I can tell you that this one was very easy to install. It works flawlessly and the quality of the captures is at least 720p. It is also VERY easy to use. The dude below isn't really correct. You can record 1080p through HDMI but you cannot output it with HDMI through tv. Component cables are what you need. I went with this one for the price and I couldn't be happier. I might even attempt cutting cable and using this for over the air. Edit: Avermedia does capture 1080i with HDMI but you won't be to output it. This is true of all pvr.

I'm not sure about the mobile version, but I know the pro version has a single plug. It also comes with the option to split the mic and audio (separate piece)
