Very exciting. I pre-ordered one yesterday! What excites me most are the higher powered preamps. The only thing I wish it had was 32 bit float, so I don't have to worry about setting the wrong gain.
Why do you think they keep adding ways to tweak the audio and different effects but don't have a parametric equalizer? Like on a Midas M32 or really any digital board, you can do a mic/sound check for each person and just cut out the bad frequences - but it's harder without a parametric equalizer. Thoughts? Would this be a good selling feature?
Won't know the final answer until we receive the public firmware, however, if it's like the previous RCP, it'll just be ONE USB device, but you can record multiple separate channels to your DAW.
Can you please make a video on how to utilize this to the best of it's capability for a dual PC streaming setup for Twitch?? Would greatly appreciate it
Love it!!! from what i see this is the mixer/interface I've been waiting for. no cloud lifter required, XLR and 1/4 ich inputs, ethernet, compact design. I am really hoping for the ability to plugin a USB mic also. To preorder or to wait, that is the question. Cant wait to see the full review and hands on.
First video. You know how to come right to the limit of enthusiasm in your delivery without crossing into "extra" and while still giving good info. Can't wait to see more of the product and your style. Subbed.
The dual computer thing solved a problem I’ve wanted ecamm live to handle for over a year… thing is I have to buy a second computer now to be able to do what I want. Thanks Rode for covering ecamms butt.
You wouldn't connect your camera to the Rodecaster Pro 2, you would connect the camera via capture card to your computer and then using your streaming or recording software bring the two together.
You technically do not need to use a cloud lifter or fathead wit head with the roadcaster pro. It has Built-in Phantom power as it is. I currently own the original and I absolutely love it and I'm not too keen on switching upwards, But the Bluetooth thing is something I'm really interested in Seeing that you can have multiple Bluetooth hook UPS simultaneously.
Appreciate the preview...curious how you went about becoming a Rode reviewer? We're launching a new review channel and would like to be part of the Rode Review team as well. Thanks for any insight you have!
I like it, but I'm keeping my current Rode Caster Pro (unless they want to trade me for the one I currently have) LOL. Just need more firmware updates for the current ver.
The device I received had a dead pixel on the screen, and neither rode nor its retailer has fixed this until now. Perhaps other users should take a closer look at your screen.
That's certainly something that can happen with any screen, and since it's still under warranty you should have no problem sending it back and getting a replacement. 👍
@@LiveStreamingPros After a difficult conversation with the rode retailer, I drove dozens of kilometers to get a new unit. The LED backlights on the new device's two volume knobs are seriously skewed. The dust cover of the volume rail is broken. This is indeed a poor quality product from rode. The retailer is no longer offering any services. I'm negotiating with rode's after-sales service on this matter.This new product from rode has proven to be of poor quality. rode shouldn't be selling a product with so many flaws to its customers.I live in Australia and as far as I know rode is a local Australian company and I also buy from a local rode retailer. Both product quality and customer service are poor. Maybe that's the Australian value.
IMHO it is too bad that they did not choose display buttons on the right (like a Streamdeck) so the assigned function would be obvious, especially with multiple pages of buttons. Can software sources (browsers, apps) be assigned to faders?
Agreed - that's one of my biggest gripes, and I'll certainly talk about that in the full review. Regarding sources - I don 't believe so but I'll test it as soon as I get the firmware!
It’s the usb mic potential for me. I ended up separating my podcast setup from my game stream setup because my gaming mic couldn’t be used with rode. But now 👀 It would be nice if they had a trade in option but that ain’t stoppin me 😂
As soon as I get firmware promise! :) I should have it soon so if you pre-order and it doesn't meet expectations, you'll know before it ships in time to cancel the order.
Yo that mount on the bottom is sweet! I've got my original RODECaster on a laptop stand, but with the smaller form factor of the RODECaster Pro II that'll free up a bunch of space. Now I'm really looking forward to getting mine!
@@LiveStreamingPros Absolutely. The VESA mount is perfect because I can just take the laptop tray off and mount the Rodecaster straight to it. Nobody else is doing that with mixers, it's so smart.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope that maybe you'll be able to stop by and say hey during one of our live streams someday! (Friday at 10:00am PT) 🙂

Probably not going to buy one at $700. But if it ever goes on sale for $450 I might consider it. The GoXLR seems nearly as good, came out in 2018 and retails for $480, which I still think is too expensive given that you can get so many other quality options below a $250 price point.

why does everything "digital" these days have to look like very bad xmas tree lights? oh look its got rainbow lights flashing all over it, i must buy it! Rode, im done with gen z gimmicks, give me a real product, that does exactly what we'd expect, not distracted by "i cant play any real instruments" flashing rainbow buttons with some inputs!!!!!!!
What sound effects should we program onto this bad boy??
I'll start out suggesting Homer Simpson's "Doh!" but that's just me.

I cannot wait to nerd out with you about this 🙌
Ditto! Gonna have so much fun!
OMG, forget the RODECaster Pro 2, the quality of your video (video, lighting and audio) is unreal! I'm subscribing. I LOVE IT!
Awww, thanks so much! ♥️
Roadcaster Pro 2 - Twice the Pro! Awesome vid, can't wait for the stream!

If i am starting, should I buy this one or the v1 since is cheaper?
Does this present itself as multiple USB devices to your computer like the GoXLR does?

Can you assign specific programs to it like the goxlr ?
Great question! Keep an eye out for future videos - I'll put this to the test once the firmware gets released!
The dual computer thing solved a problem I’ve wanted ecamm live to handle for over a year… thing is I have to buy a second computer now to be able to do what I want. Thanks Rode for covering ecamms butt.
Are the headphone mixes just volume pots or are they full blown stereo mixes of every channel independently?
Great question! Keep an eye out for future videos - I'll put this to the test once the firmware gets released!
Ok, what a brilliant video! I love this processor!! Now.., how Do I connect my CANON M50 to it for a video podcast? Please reply!!! ❤❤❤
You wouldn't connect your camera to the Rodecaster Pro 2, you would connect the camera via capture card to your computer and then using your streaming or recording software bring the two together.
Great video! Is the preamp noise gone!? I know that the first generation had issues with that.
Given the new audio improvements I would expect so. Once I receive firmware I’ll be able to test!
@@LiveStreamingPros wonderful. Thanks for the reply!
I solved the problem with a cloudlifter
This is awesome...I love your energy on sharing this!! Thank you!!

I pre-order one my question is can I use it without hearing my voice when gaming with friends in chat lobby
Yes! 👍
There are very few companies that I’d give my money to before TH-camrs test functionality. Rode is one. I’ve never returned one of their products.
Heck yeah! Rode rules! ❤️ What's your favorite rode product?
@@LiveStreamingPros was the Rodecaster Pro lol. NTH-100 until the Pro II settles in. All the best!
It’s the usb mic potential for me. I ended up separating my podcast setup from my game stream setup because my gaming mic couldn’t be used with rode. But now 👀
It would be nice if they had a trade in option but that ain’t stoppin me 😂
It’s possible usb mic support will only be rode mics but I’m checking and will get an answer!
I left a similar comment on Rode's video and they said that trade-ins are not an option at the moment but to stay tuned for more info on that topic. 😳
Waiting for the fulll hands-on review. 🥳 To upgrade or not to upgrade my RCP
As soon as I get firmware promise! :) I should have it soon so if you pre-order and it doesn't meet expectations, you'll know before it ships in time to cancel the order.
Have u done Maonocaster lite..the budget queen
That thing looks like a BEAST!!!
Right?! 🔥❤️
Sounds absolutely amazing
🥳
I KNEW THIS WAS THE SECRET VIDEO 😂😂😂 just pre ordered mine!
LOL a few of y'all called it 😂 It was so hard to not tell you you were right! 😂 Yay!!! Nice! It'll be awesome for your podcast

Thank You For This review. What a Amazing machine...wow😍

"As soon as i saw how small it was i was like yesss" LOL
IKR!?! So cool!
Dammit. Just as I bought the original RCP! Looks and sounds good though Luria.
I’m still saving up for the 1st one 🤦🏾♀️ LOL
the first one is no longer relevant
I thought new version will come with USB mics input along with the XLR *really disappointed* 😔
Go big or go home right?? Gotta be all in!
I want to get this!!!!!
You can preorder it!
Can u daisy chain the version 1 + version 2
Should be possible. Will give it a go when I get the firmware!
Great intro review!
Thanks Jeff! Stay tuned for the live stream!

Clearest video on TH-cam...what is your set up...wow
Oooh, smaller sounds promising!
Nice!
This is amazing!!!!!!!
Right?!?! Are you getting one??
@@LiveStreamingPros Yessss!
Thank you
You're welcome! Are you grabbing one? 😊
I’ll pay extra for a 6 or 8 xlr input version
Out of curiosity - what kind of content are you doing that you need 8 XLR inputs?
I want it so bad
It's yours for $699 😉 #worthit
I already ordered....LOL
😁
Take my $ - Looking forward to justifying this expense!
Put it on the tab!
Like all these mixers, just for proprietary systems only. So no software written for Linux? 😞
The first version did not have Linux support as I understand it. I’ll find out on II but I’d assume it’s the same…
given how you could update the device without a PC compared to previous model, i don't see it as a big issue.
OMG!
Seriously!! 😍
They need to come out with a rodecaster pro mini. Make the price around $250-$300 to compete with the Go XLR.
That'd be cool!
Is it me, or does the framerate of your talking-head segments look choppy?
It's all good here, maybe try clicking on the gear to change your settings? Sometimes the default TH-cam settings aren't optimal. 🤞
Probably not going to buy one at $700. But if it ever goes on sale for $450 I might consider it. The GoXLR seems nearly as good, came out in 2018 and retails for $480, which I still think is too expensive given that you can get so many other quality options below a $250 price point.
First time I've ever thought a R0de product was too expensive; usually I think they're too cheap!
OMG!!!
32-Bit, PoE (Power over Ethernet) would be a game changer.
Back channel communication is incredible. Awesome video Luria!
So basically it doesn’t do anything more for the humble podcaster. I am glad about that so I don’t have to consider to upgrade.

🤔 This device is a super powerful one, lights or not. What is it you want it to do that it doesn’t?
you could actually change the color of the lights on the pads you know. Mine is white for uniformity. Looks clean. I got the 1st gen Rodecaster Pro.
OMG … robot voice!
Nothing is future proof. We all can agree with this.
...to an extent of course! But way more so than V1!
@@LiveStreamingPros agreed. the V1 was a little rough.
Ahhh!!! Finally something new to compete against GOXLR! I need to try this thing out.
Right?!
