Podcasters: About to record my first episode using Zoom. I normally record from FaceTime and Skype (RIP) mix-minus to my DAW. It is worth doing the same as a backup for Zoom’s local recording?

I guess I'm asking how reliable is Zoom's local recording.

@jeremycherfas Not a podcaster, but never had any problems with local recordings in Zoom. I would use that as the backup though, and a direct recording into your DAW as your main recording, ready to be edited and mastered. I would also expect a much better audio quality from Zoom (especially with a bit of tweaking of the compression / noise cancelling / ‘audio for musicians’ settings)?

@ArnoldHoogerwerf Yup, thanks. It worked out fine and, as you say, the music setting is the crucial one.
