Thanks for the response! You've given me a lot to consider.

Something crucial I didn't know but realized last night while trying different settings on my audio interface: the sound on the computer is output to the audio interface, so i can monitor through the headphone jack on the interface and get both the local and remote voices in there. I really like the sound and gain of the H6 preamps, so if I had to record this weekend, I'd use H6 in combination with an ART HeadAMP4 (or similar) so everyone on my side could monitor.

I'd record the mixed output track to zencastr and if that sounds fine, I'd use that, but also record the individual tracks to the H6 as backup or just if I wanted a track not touched by Chrome's auto-gain. In this case I'd use the zencastr track for syncing.

I've considered having multiple laptops as a solution, but don't want to require guests to bring computers or have a second computer dedicated to running zencastr.

For what it's worth, you could record two people on one end using Zencastr but they would both be on the same track which isn't ideal. You could do this by having them share a microphone or by plugging 2 mics into into your interface (it should get mixed to to a mono track for recording purposes).

As you mentioned, the difficult part is making sure everyone can hear. There are interfaces that have 2 headphone monitor jacks. This one looks like it would do the trick.

Using this you could have them both recorded on using separate mics (but on the same track) and they would both be able to hear the other callers as well. They would the callers on the other end via zencastr and hear each other by monitoring the input to the interface.

You could record the output from the interface into your zoom.

Another option would be to have them use zencastr normally on separate computers even though they are in the same place. You would have to watch out that they weren't picking up each others voices on their respective mics.

EDIT: A lot of this depends on what gear you have or are willing to buy. If you want to do a call I can hear what your setup is and maybe offer some more pertinent advice. Ping me anytime on Skype (username: somethingcoded).
