Rodecaster Duo/Pro Setup for Single PC Streaming w/ OBS Sources
Wait. I thought i clicked on the livestream. ABORT MISSION
OwO whats this
Hi Jess! Thank you so much for this video, I hope I'm not bothering too much with a quick question. I have used your video before and everything was perfect. All of a sudden things went wonky (probably a Windows update, I swear it borks your audio every time!) So I went back to the beginning, factory reset etc, only this time obs is only showing microphone options (secondary and chat) but no speaker options so I can't pick output options for the new audio input sources. This never happened before and I'm clueless how to fix it. Thank you ever so much in advance if you can help at all!
Hmm, I've not had that happen before, so I'm not quite sure what the reason could be. Have you had a look under System -> Sound -> More Sound Settings -> Playback, just to make sure that your Rodecaster is set as the default playback device? I'm on my laptop now so I can't see exactly how my own is setup, but that may be the issue.
I sent my Duo back. I'm a single PC streamer with no Podcasts and it was pretty much overkill for anything I wanted to do. I really would have liked if it could have been used with multiple virtual devices so you could control the mix on the PC with physical sliders. At one point I was using Unity as well as the Duo and it was just not a good solution. I'm sure it's great for podcasters but for just streaming it's not the right tool.
@@zeeble The virtual channels thing is something that they are working on introducing, as their team on the Discord have been letting us know, but there's a lot of backend things they need to put in place first for it to work properly. So it is something we'll get eventually, but I totally understand why people aren't happy to wait. Unity isn't developed for the Duo or the Pro. It's specifically for their Streamer X device, but it just doesn't have all the physical sliders of the Duo, so I didn't even really see it as an option. I hope you manage to find something that works for you! 🙂
@@cleosaurus Ended up back on the Wave XLR/Shure SM7b with a Stream Deck+. I tried Beacn as well and it wasn't stable enough. Almost tried a Mackie Creator XS but it didn't sound like they did the virtual channel thing either. Maybe someday, someone will figure it out.
Hello! I have a question! I recently upgraded to a Rodecaster Pro 2 for my gaming setup. I was wondering if you could answer a quick question I have on it? So, normally when I use OBS I would listen to videogame audio and everything through the audio mixer’s “monitor and output” so I could adjust as I game, I use an Elgato HD60 S and that was the best way I could hear the game audio and record it without causing an echo. However, now I listen to everything through the Rodecaster and for some reason it won’t pick up the audio monitoring through OBS. I was wondering how you have yours setup and how you hear game and stream audio through yours or how you have your setup working? Thank you so much for your time, any information would be greatly appreciated!
Hi! So I still have my setup in the exact way that I did it in the video and I've had, fingers crossed, no real issues with it. I don't listen back to stream audio because I trust that the levels in OBS are accurate (following the red, yellow, green colour coding in the audio mixer). This is going off of memory as I don't have OBS on my laptop, but I will have my mic audio in the yellow/amber area in OBS, and any game/music audio in the upper (though not too close to the amber) part of the green range. I just make sure to test a game's audio in OBS before I do the livestream, to make sure it's not accidentally jumping into the yellow, as that means the game will be louder than you are. If your audio isn't monitoring on OBS (like above), it could be an issue with the setup as sometimes the Rodecaster just doesn't like configuring in OBS properly, which is why I ended up making this guide video as I had no end of issues with it. I'm guessing this might be the issue you're having, but it's a bit difficult to say without seeing how you've set your Rodecaster up. Sorry if this isn't much help, but feel free to ask anymore questions if you need to. :)
Hello from my recommended page :) 👋🏻 hope you have a great day!!! 🫶🏻
This was a Life saver! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Extremely helpful.
I have the Rodecaster Pro 2, but you have solved every bit of the problems I have always had with it. Thank you so much for this! Liked and saved to my private livestreaming playlist so that I can refer back to this. Thanks a ton for sharing!
So we do need the ASIO drivers to control OBS with the sliders?
I added the Rode ASIO app and it does not show up, am I to add something else? Like ASIO 4 ALL
Hi, the Rode ASIO I installed is a driver and not an application, so it shouldn't show up as something to run or open. I didn't install any other drivers aside from that one.
@@cleosaurus Okay, the older ASIO4ALL setup adds choices t your OBS audio settings.. So I just assumed this would do the same :) Ill be studying your video A LOT :) thank you for making it
@@BrianMackey2010 Ahh, I've never used that application before. :) Let me know how you get on and if you have any problems at all.
@@cleosaurus I think my issue is, I use my regular pc for regular stuff and my old stale podcast LOL - and so I cant get all 4 faders on their own channel, I believe because I have not made any changes to the windows sounds - Its a pain to go back and get my regular speakers to work but Im going to try later today to follow more of your steps I just need the window audio on USB 2. LOL like everyone
I bought it this week and I'm having a problem that I can't solve, I'm leaving it here in case someone can help me. When it comes to monitoring myself, I hear double all the time. I get the feeling that it is if the audio is saturated, but I go from not hearing myself at all to directly hearing myself double and canned. I can't find the middle ground no matter how much I mute channels during routing.
Hi, are you hearing double when using the settings I did in the video? It's a bit difficult to help without having an idea of your baseline settings. If you're really struggling, I'd recommend joining the Rode Discord server and you can open a query on there. That way you can post screenshots of your settings and someone will be able to help.
@@cleosaurus Yep ,step by step. In fact, without doing anything, I directly go from hearing very little to hearing myself double when I raise the microphone level. Thank you very much for your response and suggestion.
@@Shivil Hmm, there's a couple of things that I can think of at least that may cause that, such as the green button below the microphone slider. If that's enabled, that may cause you to hear double (though I'm not at my desktop so I can't test to see if that's the case). There is a feedback setting so that you can purposefully hear yourself back, but that shouldn't cause you to hear your voice twice over. It may be worth checking to make sure you don't have 'Listen' enabled in your windows Sound Control Panel. So go to Sound, More Sound Settings, Recording, Double-click the mic you're using, and just check to make sure 'listen' isn't activated on there. Otherwise, like I mentioned, the Rode Discord may be the best place to go so you can provide screenshots of your settings. Sorry I can't be of more help, it's been a long while since I messed around with my Rode settings and I don't quite remember if I had an issue with hearing double at any point.
@@cleosaurus I check it but this is off too. I'll think about giving Discord a try, which for some reason won't let me access right now, but I feel like this device is not for me. I had already read things about monitoring and it seems that it does cause problems... Thank you very much, thank you for your time!
Ok, here I leave what ended up working for me in case someone who watches this video is useful. What was happening to me is that the microphone was coupling with the sound of my headphones because it was extremely sensitive: this sensitivity came from the gain that Windows itself was giving it internally. The solution has been to lower that gain (within the Windows Sound settings, in Record), and deactivate the 'Allow applications to take absolute control of the devices' option. I hope it helps someone.
Very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this walkthrough!
thanks a lot, i have searching for this like 6 hours...
This is by far the best set up video I have found for using a Rodecaster Duo on a single PC. I keep coming back every time things go wrong and sure enough you have the solution. Thank you so much for making this video!
43:40 i get the pain of cooking, sometimes its fun and sometimes its suuuuch a chore T.T if you ever wanna try some hungarian recipes feel free to hit me up though xD
10:22 i feel like minecraft is only fun if you have goals youve set for yourself, even if its just like silly ones "explore every biome" or "build a fancy farm with barns for each animal" etc, otherwise you end up wandering aimlessly and getting bored (or at least i do lol). My goal is usually to find a village and rebuild every house and give it personality and make it safe from mobs :D then again i have this issue with every game that has no real storymode progression
Terraria feels different cos with all the tiered bosses that you have to fight in order to unlock new ores and npcs, theres a real feel of progression. I tend to prefer that kind of game where its not 100% sandbox, i think it makes the world feel more immersive to me <3 (not bashing on mc tho i LOVE building in creative mode xD)
Best Joker ever, you can't spell Mark Hamill without Arkham
Have an amazing day 😇
Thanks a lot for putting this out, out of curiosity is the rodecaster duo still your main piece of kit?, over the past couple of months ive been seeing a few people decide to switch back to elgato stuff so I was curious if after 7 months you've decided to stick with the duo or not?
Hi! Yes, I still use the Rodecaster Duo and it is my main/only piece of kit for this sort of thing. I've only really had one or two very minor issues with it since I did the setup in the video, so I didn't really see the need to swap it out for anything else. Whilst getting it setup wasn't exactly perfect or ideal, it's done the job I needed it to and still is. :)
@@cleosaurus Thanks for the quick reply, glad to hear that you're personally enjoying the duo, I noticed in your video that your mic quality sounded perfect, I recently got my own duo and realised that I had quite a lot environmental noise and when messing around with the noise gate while I did cut off the noise I was then having a problem with how sharp each end of my sentence was, are you currently using the pre-set for the nt1 cause if so it might just be the quality of my mic
@crafttobaffto Yeah, I use the NT1 preset, but I also use a filter in OBS to help with some of the lower level background noise. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head unfortunately. Also, I do have sound absorption panels in my office space, though I can't remember if I had them at the time I recorded the video. But that may be another reason you're noticing a quality difference.
I have my audio set up but when I have all my faders at unity it sounds great but coming out of my headphones but obs to my stream or recordings it sounds so loud it clips all audio sources I have to lower them so much with the faders that I can’t even hear my self or audio in my headset
If your mic is clipping, I imagine it's not set up quite right on the Rodecaster. I don't use Unify as its not really meant to be used with the Duo or the Pro, so I can't really speak for the settings you have on there. My mic is set to 33db on the Rodecaster and then I lower the volume in OBS to about midway and that works for me, but it may vary depending on your microphone. I imagine you have the right dB set up in Unify but maybe not actually on the Rodecaster, so when the audio is going into OBS raw from the Rodecaster, it's just not got the right settings. I may be completely off base though. If that's not the case, then I'm honestly not sure as it's not an issue I ran into at all.
@@cleosaurus thank you I was actually able to fix the problem by setting all my windows inputs to 54db now it works just as yours did mine were all set to a 100 for some reason
@@Anthonyblase Glad you were able to fix it! 😊
been fighting the device ever since its outta the box - some golden bits in the video that will sure get me closer to how i want it routed - this helped a lot -
I have the same issue. I haven't watched your whole video yet, but I have the same setup as you. I just want to be able to stream and game with my friends on discord. But I find that when I have open mic on my friends can hear my game audio too. And then when I go to try and fix the issue I lose audio for my stream. Did you run into this issue?
i think your video fixed my issue. thanks!
First try !! I think
Idk why but for routing I haven’t seen anyone people use Unify where it has 4-5 virtual audios, like the goXLR does , maybe it don’t work for this rode interface or something
Unify was made for the Rode Streamer X. You can use it with the Rodecaster to some degree, but the virtual channels can only be used in the software, not with the physical sliders. The whole reason I wanted physical sliders is so that I don't have to click out of the software I'm recording and also not to have a whole other window open when I'm streaming. So Unify will work for some people, but it's really not made for the Duo or Pro and can't be configured in their Rode Central app. Having Virtual Channels that can be programmed to the physical sliders is the big thing a lot of people are waiting for.
@@cleosaurus I didn’t know you couldn’t use the sliders that’s dumb, yeah I’m tryna find a replacement for the goXLR, the only thing is straying me away from this is not having 4 audio sources I love the fact I can’t have separate audio from my game and my discord and whatnot.
@Editedbyzenzo Yeah, it's because the software is made more with the Streamer X in mind and not the Rodecasters. It's something they are working on, it just is taking a while as they have other updates they need to do to set the stage so to speak. There's no lead time on how long it'll be until they have virtual channels for the Rodecasters unfortunately. I don't know enough about the Streamer X to say whether that's a good alternative, I just don't like the fact it only has one physical 'slider' so to speak.
This is the first video that I have seen that takes the time to show a real live setup with all the challenges explained and nothing assumed. I am going to apply it to my settings and see how it goes. Thank you so much!
This was really well done. Rode announced they will be adding an update for virtual sliders to add for streamers so in the meantime this is a great work around. Cheers
you dont need asio dfor this to work asio is for daws
God bless you. I’ve been trying to figure this out for months.
ASIO is a proprietary communication layer for, this case, Rodecaster and the software, so it is needed for some scenarios to work
Thanks for this, was having real trouble with the routing and your video was exactly how i wanted it set up, absolute life saver ! - Zug, Broadside gaming team.
hes a bean and you can't tell meotherwise.
Thanks for this! I have been having so many issues so I keep having to troubleshoot and it's finally getting really frustrating. But I'll keep trying a bit more. I believe I have followed everything you have done, but at 26:00 when you have Spotify playing, when I do this it is playing from both the Music/Secondary Mix and the Game/Stereo mix. When I move the fader on my RCD it does lower the volume of the Music/Secondary Mix, but the Game/Stereo Mix is still showing sound coming from Spotify. I have everything routed exactly as you do and my Game/Stereo Mix is set to Device Microphone (RODECaster Duo Main Stereo). Not sure what I'm doing wrong...
Nevermind. I had to do the factory reset you talked about earlier lol. After I reset and did it all over again, everything works as it should. Thanks again for the video, I think I watched it like 5 times lol.
من طرف وحيد تيك مشكوره ع الشرح From @waheedtech thank u for tutorial
Hey there! I want to say a big thanks for helping out so many others out there, but i am currently struggling for some reason. I have followed your video to the Tea ( i have the rodecaster pro 2 ) the part that i am struggling with is that when i move my physical sliders, my audio doesn't change in obs, im not sure if you have encountered this problem before, i was wondering if you or anyone had a similar problem like this before or might know a fix to this. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, i want to get into streaming soon that's all. Awesome video btw
OBS Tip: Create a scene for all your audio sources and just nest that scene into all your other scenes. Saves you the work of adding them to each scene and avoids the risk of OBS breaking.
Hey thanks for all your help, I watched, re watched this video about 10 times lol and I figured whilst the rhode unit itself is great its the 3rd party apps (Discord, Obs) that really messed me up as the integration isn't nearly as smooth as my previous GOXLR, none the less i have got it about 80% how I want it thanks to you big ups from AUS.
Very good job. You made a clear tutorial. Thanks
is it possible to have certain tracks not be heard on my stream? For example. i like to use mixitup bot, and it comes with a "chat notification" so i know when someone sends a chat in my stream. and id like to set that option to where only i can hear it and not the stream. ive done it with my goxlr, but im hoping the same can be done with this.
I followed your routing guide precisely and for some reason, OBS doesn't hear my smart pads/sounds. Can you help?
Excelent explanation. It was my understanding that USB2 could only be used EXCLUSIVELY for a second PC, but I was wrong. Now I can have that track separate and control it independently (I use for Spotify and Clone Hero). Thank you very much for your video, great explanation.
I feel your pain. I’ve gone through a couple of rounds of configuration changes and one factory reset on my rcp2. I know how I want it configured but struggling to get the configuration right. I’ll get it almost there and I’ll do something and everything goes to crap. I like how you laid everything out. Very logical. I’ll redo mine like you did yours tomorrow and with any luck, it will work just like yours :-). 🙏
Hi, can you use the xlr mics inputs as other audio sauces, like my dj controller uses xlr out
Hello, thank you for the video. I was doing all the stuff step by step. Unfortunatelly I wasn´t able to make it run. Did you feel any changes in last couple weeks or its still working fine for you?
Very thorough! Thank you for being so detailed.
any chance you know why my computer wont recognize the 2nd usb-c secondary channel? maybe i need to be on windows 11?
For mix minus, I realised most people without some sort of audio background just stuggle with the "mix" notion. Once they get it clear, they tend to handle it fine. A mix is just all your inputs (audio source) all together.Then you use your Mix to output it somewhere. So the "outputs" page is this: I select the output at the top, and I select what I want to go there at the bottom (the mix) . The reason for Mix Minus is because some "inputs" are also "outputs", so you want to tell the mixer, for this output I selected, take everything in, but ITSELF. This is enough in most scenarios, to prevent your listeners to hear themselves (echo). Custom is relevant when you want to use more complexe setup with two chats/applications and you don't want to get everyone in the sauce
Did you buy the duo from the UK? or was it imported? Not sure where to buy it in the uk, thanks!
Hey! Very frustrated and trying to figure all of it out, your video helped BUT I got a problem: you explain to select 'Rodecaster Duo Main Stereo' at minute 24:13 I do not have that as an option, I know I had before but the moment I activated secondary it's just gone and not in the options @ obs anymore... do you know why or how to fix it? I went to my control panel and set up everything there, i already deinstalled obs and such but cannot make it work for whatever reason ;;
to add another problem: ASIO input capture worked for me when it comes to mute spotify etc via the rodecaster duo. when i used the audio input capture, it didnt work at all. couldnt mute the sound at all :(
Tried everything here but still not getting the sound pad audio coming out clean on obs. Please someone help.
