    If I am making a podcast would an ipad be ok tool to use or just stay on my . pc?

    Either would work, but make sure you're using a good microphone. A Blue Yeti or the AT2020USB+: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016YL4POK

    You'll have more editing software options on the PC, but if you're not going to do a lot of post production, an iPad should be fine.

    I mean.... if you connect a decent microphone you could record with an iPad, iPhone or any other device... but I don't think the stock iPad or iPhone mic is good enough... the iMac is a TAD better - but I think any podcaster should at LEAST grab a $100 Blue Pro.

    Theres a myriad of other options, too - USB or direct... from $100 -
    $500 and beyond.

    But you can get a lot at $150-200. IMO, start w/ a $99 Blue and see if
    its enough...

    Yeah, I use a mixer between my audio inputs and the computer I record on. Basically I use my laptop with the earphone jacket connect to one of the
    inputs on my mixer and the record/output jackets going to the line in/microphone jack on the laptop and it works just fine. Have two mics, my PC audio and one smartkphone going into the mixer, so it mixes things up very nicely when I need it.

    I really need to set up my podcasting gear and get back into it again.

    ... Platinum Xpress & Wildcat!..... Nice!!!!
