Mike - I don't know if you said this in another video but PC Users MUST have ASIO4All for this damn thing to work. The info was on Sweetwater's Rodecaster Pro Setup page. I can't tell you how much headache this caused!! Thanks for the video. Keep passing along the knowledge!
@@podcastdoctor yep. It’s kind of a pain. They just released the new software (on Rode website) that makes it easier but it would be awesome if he did a video about it!
You just saved me from soooo much stress .... I have been trying to figure out why the Rodecaster didn’t seem to be able to record a live zoom interview for my podcast ! lol i tried everything. Except this. And this just worked. At least I was able to hear the test mic audio from zoom. So I’m imagining a regular live call will work as well I’ll try tomorrow ( well today ) lol and write back
@@MikeRussell ok so this worked basically perfectly.... the only thing that didn’t seem to work was the volume adjuster on the rode for the USB slider ... it would change it in my headphones but would have no effect on the recording volume in adobe , I’m not sure if that’s come up yet or something I’m missing lol. If you have any thoughts it would be beyond appreciated !🙌🎤🎤
Thank you for this helpful video! I would like to record to my SD card...is this possible? My rodecaster doesn't even give me the microsd card as an option for multitrack recording. Any thoughts?
Thank you for the excellent overview of multitrack recording with the RodeCaster Pro. New to you channel and new owner of the RodeCaster. Again, my thanks, take care.
I've followed these instructions step by step several times but it is still mixing all channels all together. it's givinf me 2 input options: Microphone (Rode caster pro multichannel) 1 and Microphone (Rode caster pro multichannel) 2. Both are just complete mixes of everything.
Awesome video thank you Mike! Where si you get that banging audio track at the end too? I'd love to get something similar for a podcast I'm setting up!
Thank you Mike, such a useful video! I followed this step by step and recorded to audacity directly but I’m a complete novice, could you tell me why I couldn’t hear the recording back? Channel one on the rodecaster was connected to a Podmic and I recorded my voice to track one in audacity. My headphones were connected to mic input one on the rodecaster. Thank you in advance for any help 👍🏽
Thank you soooo much! I'm looking to get the Shure SM7B, and roadcaster pro bundle from sweet water, so it's good to know I can record as a multi-track setting. Is there a way to get it to save as a multi-track to the SD card?
Mike thanks for all your videos. You do an excellent job. I tried to follow your steps and I cannot see the output channels in the multichannel. I have downloaded the ASIO driver recommended by Rode. I have followed their guidelines as well. I just don't know what I am missing. My options do not have the RODEcaster channels showing. Any help? I've tried it on two different computers, and I have the same result.
Thank you Mike. You have inspired me a lot. I just got this device and it will arrive soon. Can I record directly into audition without recording Into the rod caster pro itself?
Hi Mike, do you still check comments on this video? I can't make the playback and record function simultaneously. Curious to know what Device Class setting you have. The one I needed to download is called ASIO4ALL (as per instructions on the product web page). This lets me record multitrack the way you are doing here but if I want to play back the material I have to switch to MME and subsequently can't record. So no dubbing... And the bluetooth channel is fudgy: all the sounds are distorted. If you know what the issue might be here I'd be thrilled to hear. Thanks!
PC is a different beast when it comes to any audio device. Audition will usually take over your ASIO device when recording so no other software can access it. Mac is a little different in this regard. There may be some things you can't do at the same time with PC. I get round this by having multiple audio interfaces for different purposes such as playback on a live stream.
@@MikeRussell Alright, thanks a million for this response. I am glad to hear that this is not a problem with the same hardware (and software) on a Mac, though, as I am switching back and was hoping not to have to get rid of this caster device! (which I would have if it turned out to be impossible to combine playback and recording on a MacBook).
Once I have selected Multichannel on the device and on Audition, the other options don't show up. They all come through one channel. I had my mic, Bluetooth caller and the sound buttons all coming through one channel, but can't get the options to come up on the drop down, other that the 2nd mic, which I don't even have plugged in. No idea what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for your great video. I have studio One Professional on Windows 10 and when I try to setup the software it NOT recognizes the RodeCaster pro! What can i do?
Hi Mike, i've been trying a couple of times but in adobe audition it's only detected 1 mic, while i've plugged 2 mics on my rodecaster, can you help with that. Thanks in advance
Nice instructions - I also have Adobe CC so I use Audition (good program., terrible interface) - on the iPHONE input -- how do I record that? You went over pretty fast and the voice was on track two - whereas the iPhone comes in ona separate track - thanks for your help - not too many use Audition but it comes along for free on the CC so us InDesign folk get to be aggravated with that!

The SD card will contain the individual tracks but not a multitrack session file. You can obviously start a multitrack session and use the files from the SD card.
Looks like a great tool.

The only option I see is to record only to Rodecaster, not to Audition at the same time. Is this possible?
Great video! I have followed step by step and even tried trouble shooting from other questions asked. When I pick the multi track options for example 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 etc they all record on the same track. Even though when I press record the recording track moves across the screen on all of them but only records on the one I have highlighted. Also I don't have an option in my pull down menu for the "sounds" or "bluetooth". Any help is greatly appreciated.
Can you share what the gain level was within the Rodecaster Pro? I recently purchased a Shure SM7b and a cloud lifter to go with the Rodecaster Pro but on multitrack recording, even with the fader on the 5th notch (unity gain) and the level set to 35db within the Rodecaster Pro, I am barely hitting -24 db in Audition/Audacity/Garageband. Things are marginally better if I switch to stereo instead of multitrack but that defeats the entire purpose of having the Rodecaster Pro. Obviously an option is to bump up the level within the RP to 50db but that introduces waaaaay too much noise. Any help would be much appreciated Mike. And thanks for the other videos - I've learnt a fair bit. Cheers!
Hi - quick question - I am thinking of investing but not sure I understand the USB aspect - if you connect to a MAC, you do this via the USB out on the back of the RODE. BUT there's still a USB channel accessible in you DAW, as part of the RODECaster output... so how do you access it? Do you need to have a multi-USB device sitting in-line between your RODE and your MAC?
@@MikeRussell - Thanks Mike - my actual issue is that I have a Blue Yeti X microphone which is USB, so I thought I might be able to also connect it. Questioning the purpose of the USB track you can create inside Logic Pro X if you can’t connect a USB device...
When you set up your audio you're setting a device as the input and output so you can either have the Rodecaster or the Blue Yeti. The Rodecaster will only accept either an XLR mic via either XLR or TRS.
Hi Mike, I find your videos very helpful, One question I have is in audition my mics are being picked up even when I have them muted on the rodecasterpro. The faders do not work either. Is this the proper way it should work? I am able to map all the mic, Bluetooth, and sound pads but I would have to control everything via software and not the hardware. Thanks for the help.
@@MikeRussell Thanks, Mike! If i switch the post-fader on from the Multitrack setting option on the rodecaster this allows me to control everything. I am curious why I can't just get the mute option to work. Everything else I am good with.
Hey Mike! I think i have figured it out. The stereo Mix channel shows it muted. So prefader captures everything and you can adjust and edit. The final track that is exported is the Stereo Mix. I hope I have that right.
Hey! Great video. Quick question. When I open system preferences on my MacBook and go to audio, the levels are moving, showing the signal from the rodecaster IS coming thru the MacBook. I have audition set up for multitrack recording, input rodecaster multitrack, output rodecaster stereo.. when I record enable a track who’s input I made rodecaster pro mic 1, nothing happens. The level is up on the mixer and as I said before, the computer sees the sound coming thru in system preferences. Audition is just not getting the signal. Any ideas? Thanks
Is that host track only recorded in the right channel? And is there any way to have it record a separate wav file for each track on the sd card instead of having to connect it to a computer?
Mike, how can I save all the setup so I don’t have to do it each time? I have my mics, USB, TRRS, Bluetooth and all that named and ready to go. I want to save it so I don’t have to do this every time I record. Is that possible?
@@MikeRussell My biggest struggle is having the podcast be loud enough when played on Spotify, etc. Also, sometimes struggle with the three voices not being the same level loudness.
Hey Mike, thanks for your great videos! I just bought myself a rodecaster and now I'm learning to work with Audition. I follow your tutorial step by step but for some reason, I don't have those two little arrows showing in my host track (neither do they show in the other tracks). I'm talking about the arrow you click at 1:27. So I can't select the input/output. Any idea why it won't show in my Audition? Thanks in advance for your help!
I can’t answer this as it depends on the microphones and their placement. In short of the level of the bleed picked up is too close to the quieter parts of the speech you want to keep then no but with the right nice in the right position this should work.
The recording environment also plays a part in this so you'd want to be recording with probably more distance than that, with mics all facing away from each other and in an acoustically treated environment.
Hi Mike. If I select the multitrack option for Micro SD, does the Rodecaster automatically assign inputs to channels once I start recording, when recording to the Micro SD card? When I then input the recorded file into Audition does it see it as a multitrack recording and separate all the channels for editing? The USB connection to a computer and Audition looks great, but if space and time is limited, does the Micro USB option work as described? Thanks Damian
Hi, once you've connected the Rodecaster and selected your hardware preferences you can then assign each Rodecaster input in your multi track session and record the ones you want.
How might I record multi-channel audio and video at the same time? Can I assign Audition to record the multi channel from the Rode and then have Premiere running to record a video input. Then later to marry them in Premiere?
That sounds like a plan for the audio. You may find a screen recorder or maybe even OBS would make a better recorder though. Make sure you record the audio of the video source and perform a clap to ensure you have an easy way to sync up the audio sources in Premiere Pro.
Thank you for this. I am getting a echo in the headphones of myself and my co host headphones when the usb line on the rodecaster when we in interview mode of Ecamm live. Would this solve that problem?
Did all of this and still only have mic 1 to select on the tracks.. It does say multichannel in Audition, but there's nothing but left and right channel for mic 1. Any thoughts?
I know this is an older video- I have a question regarding the RCP and multitrack. Is it best to record using the SD card on the Rodecaster Pro or should I set up the multitrack and record directly into my DAW (Logic Pro) live during the podcast? Does it matter ? Or do I record both ...just in case
@@MikeRussell yeah, I agree, I just didn't know if it was practice to record in both SD and in DAW just in case. I agree, the DAW seems to have a much more louder track. When I export my files/multitrack from my RCP into my DAW, the volume on each track is like 5db lower.
Hey Mike, thanks for these videos. I'm just wondering about this hardware, and if it's possible yet... At present, I do a recorded radio show using a Presonus Studio192 Mobile to get the mic in, and I have 2 midi devices to play and control audio from Abelton Live. I use Novation Launch Control XL to control the volumes of the sounds I play, and the Novation Launchpad MINI Mk2 is what triggers the sounds. So, here’s my scenario. For example, I come out of a song, I push play on a music bed and get the levels right on the fly, then I play a snippet of an artist saying something, and mix the audio levels of both the artist and the bed, and when it’s finished, I come back out with just me and the bed and finish the recording. Can the Rodecaster split it’s hotkeys banks to specific channels or can you reassign faders to be able to do a similar scenario for what I’m doing? Can I play audio from the computer, and have it routed through a channel on the desk and still allow me to do the above listed scenario? I can see that you can have multiple inputs in audition (as outputs from the roadcasters), but can the rodecaster accept multiple inputs (as outputs from Audition, or Abelton)? Anyway, a few questions, but I thought you may know. Cheers,
Hey, thanks for your post. There's a lot to cover here so it may be better to take it to our community where we can reply in greater detail and go through the scenarios community.musicradiocreative.com/
Hi Mike! Love the videos, keep em coming! Informative and entertaining! Question: when recording to Audition with the Rodecaster, does it print the effects? I am looking to record all mics on seperate channels with the gating and "eq" to the Daw. This would save a lot of time in post. Thanks!!!
Do you need to be recording in audition in order to enable multi track recording? Or by enabling those settings will it split the track onto your ad card and/or USB? Thanks.
Hi Mike, Thanks for this video tutorial. I've done all of the above and it just gives me mic 1 & 2, no other options. If i go to WASAPI (Device Class) it allows me to select more options, but then the sound quality is poor when recording. Any suggestions ?
Hi George, I’m guessing you’re on PC? If so it’s recommended you dow load and install the ASIO4All driver to enable Audition to see the multiple inputs. If you’re using MME or WASAPI you’ll only see the stereo mix output from the Rodecaster.
@@MikeRussell hey mike! i got the same issue. when i install asio4all i can manage to get multichannel recording in audition, but i can´t get an output over the roadcaster to monitor my recordings.
Hmmm not working in Windows using 2.1 firmware and audition 2018, it plays back the audio recorded but I don’t see the multitracks, I select the multi track option also
Probably a question for Rode Tech Support if you’re already running the latest fires are and drivers. You may want to update to the latest Audition first as cc2018 is now almost 3 years old and see if that solves the issue.
Every time I playback on audition with roadcaster the audio clips like if it’s to loud, but it’s normal. Once I save it as mp3 and play it on windows player it sounds find no clipping, that makes me believe it’s a setting on the rodecaster pro2 or audition, before I was using a behringer XR18 with xtouch surface pro, and no issues. Issues only started when I switched to rodecaster pro2, why do you think I am getting clipping sound on all audio files including voice with rode and audition this happens in multi track and view.
Why does the sound pad bleed over to my mic tracks on multi track recording? Because of that, I can’t post edit tracks with all the bleed over from the sound pad track.
Mike Russell No. it was an internal problem with the console. Rode-caster customer service were awesome and sent me a new one. Multi track recording is working like a charm now.
If I want to save my recording to edit at a later stage will I have to export each track to a seperate file or can they be stored in one multitrack file?
I use rodecaster with asio4all, when i play what i have record there no sound, and i open preference hardware channel maping the output is not connected. And there is no option to change that, the option only “not connected”.
Same issue using Windows have filed ticket with Rode sent back option to use asio4all control panel to select both stereo out and multitrack in, click spanner icon cross then shows to select drop down on stereo option. Helps to hear play back but now can't record to usb channel so waiting outcome from Rode. Will try reinstalling just in case otherwise copy from card across for now. Need a driver from Rode ideally?
I know video a bit old now so this may already be common knowledge but windows with asio4all won't give playback in recommended set up. Rode confirmed issue and are working on their own driver to solve it. For playback u can select stereo out as well as multitrack in asio control panel but then lose usb input plus who wants to keep doing that. Confirmed suspicion when trying groove music mp3 player and error saying other program using sound device, this is with Audition running in background set up for multitrack. For me not big deal breaker as if honest with myself and the original intended use (radio show) it does what is needed, just that now I have been tempted by the forbidden fruit I feel cast out. You lucky Mac users. Fantastic channel and look forward to Jingle Friday.
I'm struggling with this hardware getting it to work with Wirecast 13, latest release. The Sounds on 13 and 14 will play over the top of everything else, can't figure out how to get the fader working. If I fade the Sounds using the fader, they stay at the same loud level in Wirecast. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
@@MikeRussell We are having similar issues. We got our new Rodecaster in today and using Wirecast 13 pro and can only get audio on track 1 to come through. We set up multi-channel on Procaster and unplugged and plugged in as instructed and still no luck. Unsure if it is a WC issue or if a Rodecaster.
Mike Russell I think I sorted it out. If I pull Rodecaster Stereo in as my source it works as one would expect. Tge sound pads and volume level respond in tge live shot, so I’m setting all my Wirecast documents to Rodecaster Stereo instead of Multitrack.
Would like to see this with protools and getting playback on this. If this is used for multitrack, but can't use with a beat that you have already in protools, its a little useless.
@@MikeRussell thanks for the reply. Would like to use this as my interface for recording because I like some of the built in features. But mulitrack isn't letting me listen to the beat already in the session.
The ability to do this depends totally on how your audio is set up. I'd suggest joining our community and describing how your audio is set up so we can help you further community.musicradiocreative.com/
When I follow your instructions, I still only get two channels. When I follow Rode's instructions using ASIO4ALL, I get all of the channels and I can record, but I can't hear playback. There has to be a better way!
@@MikeRussell with Adobe audition, once you press the recording button it records, but once you stop recording and look back at what you are saying, you can’t hear anything on what you said. Is it a regular thing or is there a problem?

You monitor direct through the device so there is no latency
Can you just import the session from an sd card into audition and then mix in post?
The SD card will contain the individual tracks but not a multitrack session file. You can obviously start a multitrack session and use the files from the SD card.
Is naming the mics only on the mac? When you went to the mono and it shows all the 14 channels they're labeled but on my windows PC, it's not at all.
Do you have the companion app installed? The channels were labelled by default for this video
@@MikeRussellI have it installed but don't really use it. I didn't see any way to change the labels. Did you see something that would let me do it?

Great video! I have followed step by step and even tried trouble shooting from other questions asked. When I pick the multi track options for example 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 etc they all record on the same track. Even though when I press record the recording track moves across the screen on all of them but only records on the one I have highlighted. Also I don't have an option in my pull down menu for the "sounds" or "bluetooth". Any help is greatly appreciated.
Can you share what the gain level was within the Rodecaster Pro? I recently purchased a Shure SM7b and a cloud lifter to go with the Rodecaster Pro but on multitrack recording, even with the fader on the 5th notch (unity gain) and the level set to 35db within the Rodecaster Pro, I am barely hitting -24 db in Audition/Audacity/Garageband. Things are marginally better if I switch to stereo instead of multitrack but that defeats the entire purpose of having the Rodecaster Pro. Obviously an option is to bump up the level within the RP to 50db but that introduces waaaaay too much noise. Any help would be much appreciated Mike. And thanks for the other videos - I've learnt a fair bit. Cheers!
Hi - quick question - I am thinking of investing but not sure I understand the USB aspect - if you connect to a MAC, you do this via the USB out on the back of the RODE. BUT there's still a USB channel accessible in you DAW, as part of the RODECaster output... so how do you access it? Do you need to have a multi-USB device sitting in-line between your RODE and your MAC?
The Rodecaster becomes your audio interface so you don’t need any other device.
@@MikeRussell - Thanks Mike - my actual issue is that I have a Blue Yeti X microphone which is USB, so I thought I might be able to also connect it.
Questioning the purpose of the USB track you can create inside Logic Pro X if you can’t connect a USB device...
When you set up your audio you're setting a device as the input and output so you can either have the Rodecaster or the Blue Yeti. The Rodecaster will only accept either an XLR mic via either XLR or TRS.
Hi Mike, I find your videos very helpful, One question I have is in audition my mics are being picked up even when I have them muted on the rodecasterpro. The faders do not work either. Is this the proper way it should work? I am able to map all the mic, Bluetooth, and sound pads but I would have to control everything via software and not the hardware. Thanks for the help.
The Rodecaster pro records prefader
@@MikeRussell Thanks, Mike! If i switch the post-fader on from the Multitrack setting option on the rodecaster this allows me to control everything. I am curious why I can't just get the mute option to work. Everything else I am good with.
Hey Mike! I think i have figured it out. The stereo Mix channel shows it muted. So prefader captures everything and you can adjust and edit. The final track that is exported is the Stereo Mix. I hope I have that right.
I’d recommend taking advantage of the multitrack rather than stereo mix for your recording. This will make post production editing easier.
Hey! Great video. Quick question. When I open system preferences on my MacBook and go to audio, the levels are moving, showing the signal from the rodecaster IS coming thru the MacBook. I have audition set up for multitrack recording, input rodecaster multitrack, output rodecaster stereo.. when I record enable a track who’s input I made rodecaster pro mic 1, nothing happens. The level is up on the mixer and as I said before, the computer sees the sound coming thru in system preferences. Audition is just not getting the signal. Any ideas? Thanks
Is that host track only recorded in the right channel? And is there any way to have it record a separate wav file for each track on the sd card instead of having to connect it to a computer?
Yes, you can set the Rodecaster to record in multitrack mode to achieve separate WAV files for each track directly on the SD card.
@@MikeRussell how though? I’ve tried several types of things without any luck 😭
Mike, how can I save all the setup so I don’t have to do it each time? I have my mics, USB, TRRS, Bluetooth and all that named and ready to go. I want to save it so I don’t have to do this every time I record. Is that possible?
This can be achieved from the companion app. If you select file > save show it saves your settings.
@@MikeRussell I saw your presets but I don’t see a preset for ElectroVoice RE27. Is there a way to get those? I’m interested in buying the presets.
@@MikeRussell My biggest struggle is having the podcast be loud enough when played on Spotify, etc. Also, sometimes struggle with the three voices not being the same level loudness.
Make sure you are running the latest firmware on the Rodecaster and then you'll have the presets.
Have you considered the Pro Podcast Presets? These will definitely help mrc.fm/presets
Hey Mike, thanks for your great videos! I just bought myself a rodecaster and now I'm learning to work with Audition. I follow your tutorial step by step but for some reason, I don't have those two little arrows showing in my host track (neither do they show in the other tracks). I'm talking about the arrow you click at 1:27. So I can't select the input/output.
Any idea why it won't show in my Audition? Thanks in advance for your help!
You may need to enlarge each track for these to show.
If I would record a Podcast with 2 friends on the same table
Will the noise gate handle is so everyone is only hearable on his one track?
I can’t answer this as it depends on the microphones and their placement. In short of the level of the bleed picked up is too close to the quieter parts of the speech you want to keep then no but with the right nice in the right position this should work.
@@MikeRussell let's say I'd use 3 Rode PodMics with 40cm distance
The recording environment also plays a part in this so you'd want to be recording with probably more distance than that, with mics all facing away from each other and in an acoustically treated environment.
Hi Mike. If I select the multitrack option for Micro SD, does the Rodecaster automatically assign inputs to channels once I start recording, when recording to the Micro SD card? When I then input the recorded file into Audition does it see it as a multitrack recording and separate all the channels for editing? The USB connection to a computer and Audition looks great, but if space and time is limited, does the Micro USB option work as described? Thanks Damian
Hi, once you've connected the Rodecaster and selected your hardware preferences you can then assign each Rodecaster input in your multi track session and record the ones you want.
How might I record multi-channel audio and video at the same time? Can I assign Audition to record the multi channel from the Rode and then have Premiere running to record a video input. Then later to marry them in Premiere?
PS> Hi and Thank you! ;)
That sounds like a plan for the audio. You may find a screen recorder or maybe even OBS would make a better recorder though. Make sure you record the audio of the video source and perform a clap to ensure you have an easy way to sync up the audio sources in Premiere Pro.
Does it work with any other Daw? I use ableton primarily and am looking for ways to bypass the Micro SD card and other recording options
Yes, you can record into pretty much any multitrack capable DAW.
Thank you for this. I am getting a echo in the headphones of myself and my co host headphones when the usb line on the rodecaster when we in interview mode of Ecamm live. Would this solve that problem?
You’re feeding your own signal back down the USB. You’d need to create a mix minus either using vb Audio Cable (PC) or Loopback (Mac)
@@MikeRussell Thank you. What about Adobe Audition??
Adobe Audition is only recording what the Rodecaster is feeding to it
Did all of this and still only have mic 1 to select on the tracks.. It does say multichannel in Audition, but there's nothing but left and right channel for mic 1. Any thoughts?
You may need ASIO4ALL as mentioned on the Rode site.
AMAZING !
😃 Thank you!
my multichannel option comes up but when i drop down to select the other mics or channels it just says left or right??
Are you using PC or Mac?
I know this is an older video- I have a question regarding the RCP and multitrack. Is it best to record using the SD card on the Rodecaster Pro or should I set up the multitrack and record directly into my DAW (Logic Pro) live during the podcast? Does it matter ? Or do I record both ...just in case
I see no reason why you wouldn't record into your DAW if available, I look at the SD card as for use when portable and away from the DAW.
@@MikeRussell yeah, I agree, I just didn't know if it was practice to record in both SD and in DAW just in case. I agree, the DAW seems to have a much more louder track. When I export my files/multitrack from my RCP into my DAW, the volume on each track is like 5db lower.
Don't worry too much about the volume, you can always edit that in post production
Nice one, Mike! Much appreciated
Will Rodecaster Pro connect to Pro Tools 12?
Does this work with all DAW's? Logic?
Yep, any DAW that can see inputs.
Yes. Logic Pro X, Audition, Protools, Garageband, Reaper.
IN USING MY AUDICITY ON THE RODE CASTER PRO I AM GETTING A GARBLE SOUND ON THE REPLAY IS IT THE LATENCY IS OFF OR WHAT
i followed step by step, and i still get recording on both channels with mic 1 even tho i have 2 different mic, any thoughts?
Make sure you select the multitrack option and not just the stereo output.
Hey Mike, thanks for these videos. I'm just wondering about this hardware, and if it's possible yet...
At present, I do a recorded radio show using a Presonus Studio192 Mobile to get the mic in, and I have 2 midi devices to play and control audio from Abelton Live. I use Novation Launch Control XL to control the volumes of the sounds I play, and the Novation Launchpad MINI Mk2 is what triggers the sounds.
So, here’s my scenario. For example, I come out of a song, I push play on a music bed and get the levels right on the fly, then I play a snippet of an artist saying something, and mix the audio levels of both the artist and the bed, and when it’s finished, I come back out with just me and the bed and finish the recording.
Can the Rodecaster split it’s hotkeys banks to specific channels or can you reassign faders to be able to do a similar scenario for what I’m doing? Can I play audio from the computer, and have it routed through a channel on the desk and still allow me to do the above listed scenario? I can see that you can have multiple inputs in audition (as outputs from the roadcasters), but can the rodecaster accept multiple inputs (as outputs from Audition, or Abelton)?
Anyway, a few questions, but I thought you may know. Cheers,
Hey, thanks for your post. There's a lot to cover here so it may be better to take it to our community where we can reply in greater detail and go through the scenarios community.musicradiocreative.com/
@@MikeRussell Yeah, it is a little in-depth. I'll try and check it out. Thanks mate. -Steve
Hi Mike! Love the videos, keep em coming! Informative and entertaining!
Question: when recording to Audition with the Rodecaster, does it print the effects? I am looking to record all mics on seperate channels with the gating and "eq" to the Daw. This would save a lot of time in post. Thanks!!!
The stereo mix and multitrack recording with record the effects added.
Do you need to be recording in audition in order to enable multi track recording? Or by enabling those settings will it split the track onto your ad card and/or USB? Thanks.
There are individual controls for SD and USB you can enable or disable one or both.
@@MikeRussell much appreciated. ✌🏻
👍
Hi Mike,
Thanks for this video tutorial. I've done all of the above and it just gives me mic 1 & 2, no other options.
If i go to WASAPI (Device Class) it allows me to select more options, but then the sound quality is poor when recording.
Any suggestions ?
Hi George, I’m guessing you’re on PC? If so it’s recommended you dow load and install the ASIO4All driver to enable Audition to see the multiple inputs. If you’re using MME or WASAPI you’ll only see the stereo mix output from the Rodecaster.
@@MikeRussell hey mike! i got the same issue. when i install asio4all i can manage to get multichannel recording in audition, but i can´t get an output over the roadcaster to monitor my recordings.
@@MikeRussell AFTER I DOWNLOAD ASIO4ALL WHAT DO I DO?
@@podcastdoctor I followed the guidelines from Rode. It did not work for me.
For some reason it only shows mic 1 and mic 2, but nothing else, anyone have this problem?
I am having the same problem. Did you ever get it figured out?
@@rylandspencer did you figure it out
Hmmm not working in Windows using 2.1 firmware and audition 2018, it plays back the audio recorded but I don’t see the multitracks, I select the multi track option also
Probably a question for Rode Tech Support if you’re already running the latest fires are and drivers. You may want to update to the latest Audition first as cc2018 is now almost 3 years old and see if that solves the issue.
Mike Russell I may just be the windows version as well
Mike Russell ASIO drivers is the solution thanks again
Definitely. PC will only work if you're running the ASIO drivers
Every time I playback on audition with roadcaster the audio clips like if it’s to loud, but it’s normal. Once I save it as mp3 and play it on windows player it sounds find no clipping, that makes me believe it’s a setting on the rodecaster pro2 or audition, before I was using a behringer XR18 with xtouch surface pro, and no issues. Issues only started when I switched to rodecaster pro2, why do you think I am getting clipping sound on all audio files including voice with rode and audition this happens in multi track and view.
Drop a sample in our community? community.musicradiocreative.com/
Does this work in Logic Pro X as well or only in Audition?
Yes. Logic Pro X, Audition, Protools, Garageband, Reaper.
even after enabling and getting the warning the hardware changed im only getting two options on pc multichannel one and two
You need to be using ASIO to benefit from multitrack recording. Download and install ASIO4All driver.
Why does the sound pad bleed over to my mic tracks on multi track recording? Because of that, I can’t post edit tracks with all the bleed over from the sound pad track.
Found the problem.
Is it bleed from your headphones?
Mike Russell No. it was an internal problem with the console. Rode-caster customer service were awesome and sent me a new one. Multi track recording is working like a charm now.
If I want to save my recording to edit at a later stage will I have to export each track to a seperate file or can they be stored in one multitrack file?
They are written to SD in a big multitrack wav file if the multitrack to SD feature is enabled.
Has anyone been able to make multi track recording work with garage band on an ipad when plugging in the rodecaster pro
I don't see anything about recording via iPhone channel - please help here thanks
If you have the device set up correctly you’ll be able to record multi track which means every channel will be recorded separately.
doesnt work at all..my usb settings are turned on and I've tried changing my input to multi track ...
If you are using Windows make sure you are using ASIO
I use rodecaster with asio4all, when i play what i have record there no sound, and i open preference hardware channel maping the output is not connected. And there is no option to change that, the option only “not connected”.
It sounds like the driver may not have installed properly. Try removing the driver and running the install as an administrator.
Same issue using Windows have filed ticket with Rode sent back option to use asio4all control panel to select both stereo out and multitrack in, click spanner icon cross then shows to select drop down on stereo option. Helps to hear play back but now can't record to usb channel so waiting outcome from Rode. Will try reinstalling just in case otherwise copy from card across for now. Need a driver from Rode ideally?
I know video a bit old now so this may already be common knowledge but windows with asio4all won't give playback in recommended set up. Rode confirmed issue and are working on their own driver to solve it. For playback u can select stereo out as well as multitrack in asio control panel but then lose usb input plus who wants to keep doing that. Confirmed suspicion when trying groove music mp3 player and error saying other program using sound device, this is with Audition running in background set up for multitrack. For me not big deal breaker as if honest with myself and the original intended use (radio show) it does what is needed, just that now I have been tempted by the forbidden fruit I feel cast out. You lucky Mac users. Fantastic channel and look forward to Jingle Friday.
Thanks but can you do a tutorial with Pro Tools please?
HI Dino, you'll find a lot of the principals used in Adobe Audition can be easily transferred to other DAWs
I'm struggling with this hardware getting it to work with Wirecast 13, latest release. The Sounds on 13 and 14 will play over the top of everything else, can't figure out how to get the fader working. If I fade the Sounds using the fader, they stay at the same loud level in Wirecast. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Oh no, that's not good Gary. I'll need to check this when I get back to my setup!
@@MikeRussell We are having similar issues. We got our new Rodecaster in today and using Wirecast 13 pro and can only get audio on track 1 to come through. We set up multi-channel on Procaster and unplugged and plugged in as instructed and still no luck. Unsure if it is a WC issue or if a Rodecaster.
Could it be you're using PC by chance?
Mike Russell I think I sorted it out. If I pull Rodecaster Stereo in as my source it works as one would expect. Tge sound pads and volume level respond in tge live shot, so I’m setting all my Wirecast documents to Rodecaster Stereo instead of Multitrack.
Can anyone please explain to me why I cannot hear my recording back into my headphones?? Thank you.
I’d suggest joining our community and describing your audio set up in detail so we can try and help community.musicradiocreative.com/
My Rodecaster says always "Please disconnect and reconnect your USB Cable for this setting to take effect" although I reconnected it multiple times.
Reboot computer? Check you have selected multitrack recording and not stereo.
Would like to see this with protools and getting playback on this. If this is used for multitrack, but can't use with a beat that you have already in protools, its a little useless.
I have used ProTools but my preferred DAW is Adobe Audition which I do my day to day work in so I couldn't advise you in any great depth on ProTools
@@MikeRussell thanks for the reply. Would like to use this as my interface for recording because I like some of the built in features. But mulitrack isn't letting me listen to the beat already in the session.
The ability to do this depends totally on how your audio is set up. I'd suggest joining our community and describing how your audio is set up so we can help you further community.musicradiocreative.com/
@@MikeRussell awesome. Thank you Mike. Have a great day!
Thanks. You too.
F SA N T A S T C I am picking up mine today WooHoo 2 3 4
Great to hear!
DO I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ASIO4ALL TO RUN THIS AS A MULTITRACK RECORDER
Yes, you will. You’ll only be able to record the stereo mix if you don’t have ASIO drivers installed.
@@MikeRussell one more question Mike...so in order for me to hear the playback I have to keep switching between the asio4all and mme correct?
You'll have to specify either MME, WASAPI or ASIO as the sound device in Audition so you want to set your output to be the mixer under ASIO.
I can't figure out headphones monitoring from the daw
I recommend monitoring from the desk itself.
What happens when you hit add marker?
It'll add a marker that is readable in software like Adobe Audition.
When I follow your instructions, I still only get two channels. When I follow Rode's instructions using ASIO4ALL, I get all of the channels and I can record, but I can't hear playback. There has to be a better way!
I hope this works out. PC can be a bit tricky.
@@MikeRussell Same here two channels. You saying PC doesn't work the same as in the tutorial here? Thanks always for your videos!
When I record and replay my recording, I don’t hear any audio why is that?
Obviously not configured correctly. Can you be more specific about how you're trying to record?
@@MikeRussell with Adobe audition, once you press the recording button it records, but once you stop recording and look back at what you are saying, you can’t hear anything on what you said. Is it a regular thing or is there a problem?
Can you see visual evidence of your recording?
@@MikeRussell yes the recording shows but I was just wondering if it’s normal if you replay and don’t hear anything
Make sure your audio hardware is configured correctly. It should be using Rodecaster Pro for in and out and make sure the fader is open on the mixer.
Struggling to multitrack on logic pro
Logic Pro is a supported DAW for this desk so should work fine
@@MikeRussell You're right. Thank you! I fixed the issue, the inputs are quite unconventional.
