This was a fantastic overview! I've been using the Rode NT USB Mini for 4 years and just today started using the Rode Connect app. I've been missing out on a lot! Thank you so much for breaking it down.
It was 11 months ago that I made a comment on your review. Based on your review I purchased the Rode USB mini and I was able to successfully use the Rode Connect software. Then I set it aside for a while because I was doing some other things that didn’t involve the mic or any recording. When I went back to use the Rode connect app again, it wouldn’t open when I double clicked on it. To make a long story short that was at least three weeks ago, and in the interim I’ve been working with Rode support to see if they can’t get the Rode connect software to work with the Windows 11. so far I haven’t had any success, although I would give them high marks for at least making an effort. I’m going to try to work with them again tomorrow, because I think now after reviewing your video again I can give them some better info on the problem I’m seeing. Right now, the preferences part of the app doesn’t work at all. And that really is the root of the problem. I can’t alter or route the virtual and system channels as you do in the video. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you tried it again, if you can talk them into sending you another Mike. Anyway, if you have nothing better to do, this might be interesting. You really know your stuff, and he might be able to help more people than just me. Thanks very much for the great work you do. I really love the mic and I loved the software when it worked. I hope to get back there shortly again.
I've been using the older Rode U S B. Microphone..A brilliant microphone..The secret to making a U S B. Microphone recording sound awesome is what happens in post editing.
❤thx a lot for this very usefull explanation of this gr8 mic. Just got myself one and checked many vids explaining this bud yours was so far way the best. Thx a million. Liked and subbed😊
Awesome video.. I love it but I aam still a little confused on how to use the Rode connect.. The different channel settings and Virtual/ System and how to configure windows 11 sound to Rode Connect.
Re the programmed sound effect buttons.... Can music mp3 or midi files be dragged into the smart button? Can the music file size from a few secs to a few hours? .. Is there file limit.? I'd like music files saved that play for a long time. Can special effects plug ins be added to create voice distortions as we speak through the mic ..
❤ thank you. Can you tell me what Aphex setting create a more ambient echo or softer sound so I can do a meditation broadcast? . Is there a reverb plug in /option or just the Aphex ones
Thanks for the nice video. I bought this for singing and recording on my phone (sometimes on singing app such as Starmaker). But there is no way to set up gain, so my singing is always clipped. Do you know anyway around it? I tried setting gain on Computer it works great on computer but the setting is not effective on phone. Any help will be much appreciated.
Hi there. I like your tutorials so thank you. Completely new to recording music (guitar and vocal). Have an interface etc but just given the rode nt usb mini as a gift. Thought I would try it out. Followed your instructions and moved recording over onto cubase 11 via cubase import ( I struggle with cubase). Trouble is I cant hear it. Perhaps you can advise me if you know cubase at all. Is it to do with the recording being stereo?Happy NY
Hi thank you for video. Can I please ask 2 questions sorry I am a complete Novice. I have the mic connect to my old Mac USB Supplied in packet with Mic. But have Purchased new Mac usb 3/4 which I think is USB C (?) what lead do I needed to connect to my new Mac.
Hey I have a mac but I don't know why obs doesn't work on my system i.e my window capture and display capture doesn't work neither I can't share my chrome browser :( . I have upgraded my mac to Big Sur and I think OBS doesn't support it there. Can you help me out what is wrong ? Can I mail you ?
I have a quick question I have not seen answered here. On Windows is it possible to connect 2 USB Minis and use Adobe Audition to record each mic on a separate multitrack channel? I have tried everything and cannot seem to get it to work.
I think you have to use the RODE software to record multitrack, then you could import both the tracks onto Audition. That's off the top of my head, no longer have a Mini to try it ...
great video and review. thanks! I just got this mic and i think it's great. I'm planning to use it for radio broadcasting. My only issue is that as much as i can hear a perfect balance of voice and music (Spotify playing in the system channel) in my zero latency headphones connected behind the mic, when i listen back to the recorded file, the microphone is less present and definitely less prominent and lower volume than what I had in the monitor headphones. is it me? is it the mic or it's normal ? anyone with the same issue? thanks
This Rode Connect app is buggy on Windows 11. It doesn't output sound or if it does, it will distort the sound to the point where its just pink noise. Digging through the settings did not work either. Rode has to fix this issue.
Software sucks: By default the mic is running high noise filter, cutting off sound aggressively. To use Rode connect, you need to update the mic driver. Which in turn fails from the software. And there aren't alternative dl locations. So, buyer beware: Have a good boom because chances are you won't be managing mic settings at all.

Excellent, informative video! You really taught this! I couldn’t figure out how to use Rode Connect in OBS into Zoom! Thank for showing us how!
Thank-you, and this video allowed me to sort-out the noise issue I had with this mic.

Thank You so much for the insights ❤️
Pretty understandable and useful 🙏🏻
very insightful and helpful
The volume button on the mic is also a mute button. Just press it to mute on and off. Made this discovery while messing with mine.
Thank you. That was really informative and helpful
Thanks for this review. Very good one.
Quite the versatile mic. Top notch review as always.
❤ love the video bought the mic 🎙️ , can you link the Amazon affordable stand you suggested
Very well explained. Thank you.
Great review. How does the Mini compare to the regular NT USB and the Podmic USB? I'm after a mic for radio preproduction. Cheers
I loooooove this mic. Bought 4
Wow if they could somehow add this to IPad Pro it would be a game changer. This essentially a podcaster pro board for usb mics for FREE
Иzoomительное видео. Благодарю!

Can we use my bluetooth earphones as microphone in my Rode Connect App? I do not have a 3.5mm headphone to check the sound within the app

Great microphone and software, at least until I upgraded my PC to Windows 11, which no longer sees this as a microphone.
What’s the best way to connect 3 or 4 mic’s to one macbook?
Great review btw! Was very helpfull!

this is for my youtube chanel

Hopefully they'll work on it!
I fixed this by going into the windows 11 sound settings for your speakers or headphones and unticking enable audio enhancements.
Software sucks: By default the mic is running high noise filter, cutting off sound aggressively. To use Rode connect, you need to update the mic driver. Which in turn fails from the software.

Damn dyslexia, I read Rodent USB. lol
Video about a microphone and it's low volume...marks deducted.
a
too complicated
Thank you 😊 a very good review.
