I love the idea of this thing even if I might not personally use it. I'd 100% go for this if it was my first step into pro audio and capture 👌good stuff
I’ve had this in my shopping cart for what feels like forever, but I CANT seem to hit buy. I feel the same as you. I like the faders of the GoXLR. I like having separate capture cards for gaming and cameras. BUT man this would be epic as travel gear.
I saw Rode comment on another video that they are working on firmware updates for the Rodecaster Duo and Rodecaster Pro that will bring the multi track virtual devices for winOS sound settings. If/when that happens the Rodecaster Duo will be a dream come true for dual PC streamers.
I think it seems great for travel, all in one just pack up your camera, laptop, maybe console? mic, and start streaming or recording with high quality. Honestly, if you travel a lot and plan to stream during your travels, it's the best starting setup as well, and if you *wanted* you can your home setup for more complicated stuff. Good stuff Rode!
I have the whole lineup of the new rode products and I can say for 100% fact I use the streamer x more that my duo and pro 2. I don’t have to use my capture card so now that’s a extra pcie port open and it connects straight to my consoles both Xbox and PS. If you know what your doing you can route the audio any way you would like. You don’t have to buy a Xlr mic or usb mic just use headset with built in mic. The only issue I have is that they have yet to release the unify app for Mac OS all tho I heard there is a beta version. Overall this might be hands down the best small form factor interface/capture on the market.
Absolutely love mine - makes it way easy to stream from my Mac now and get a professional XLR input at the same time. I've tried other solutions from Elgato and it was not as smooth. Only thing I wish RODE added was a Power Button on the Streamer X. It's a bit of a pain to have to unplug from power or USB when I don't want to use it.
Picked this device up almost a year ago and besides the Unify software acting crazy at times, I LOVE this device! It has made streaming and recording so much easier!
Thank you for the review, I saw this quickly listed online a couple months ago and thought it was cool, but I didn't read it too deeply. You just highlighted that this is even cooler than I thought, as someone who spends a lot of time professionally in 'zoom' and giving PPTs, this is exactly what I need over my current 'traditional' capture card.
Returned it after video is not picking up randomly, OS sleep (laptop user here) and streamer x constantly having an issue transmitting audio despite being detected as an audio device and the device not remembering my last settings. Resetting involves pulling out the USB-C cable(s), and replugging it as it has not power button. Very inconvenient for the price tag Perhaps after some updates to firmware and software it will be great some day (used it on Mac and Windows).
Stream deck plus and whichever capture card you want is all you need. Gives you all the software and hardware you need with the least amount cable clutter.
I gotta be honest, the wave link software is okay, I've had issues with it and I'm tired of it, if you plan to use a focusrite with the wave link, you might encounter issues like I did
bruh... I wanna sound as natural and conversational as you. I'm even a former radio DJ with 11 years under my belt. Still don't have it like you got. Good job.
I create custom rosters for sports video games of alltime greats throughout sports history and then broadcast the games with full announcing like a real game (not just a gamer making offhanded comments about the action and such)...just on TH-cam now but with no, well, "effort" to try and grow. But more and more people who watch tell me they think I should try and grow the channel and I'm finally exploring it. Your channel's become daily content for me at this point as I try to figure out how the hell to do this :)
From the rental&staging perspective we may try one of these to see how it fits in. Although it looks a little to "streamie" for our use. But who knows. Thanks Harris!
When you plug your cameras into the smartplugs, does it hurt them at all to leave them with the "on switch" turned on all the time, and effectively just ripping the cord out?
So I have rodecaster pro 2 for my my main dual pc streaming setup. But have a separat "art station" where I have my laptop with a drawing tablet, and wanted to start making art content on twitch/youtube. This feels like just the thing for a scaled down streaming setup like that. Though I'm a bit on the fence for more rode hardware after the roadcaster pro 2, they have talked a lot about coming features and updates that just never seem to arrive. And frankly rode kind of suck at talking to and informing their community/followers on what is going on and what they are doing.
Seems like a great thing to take for road trips for on the spot podcasts or something where you can't take your full battle station content creation setup. Packs small and light.
I bought this. Took 2 hours until my PC recognized the device. Once that was over, I find that it only has a 3 band EQ for the mic.. no thanks! Wave XLR did the trick instead
So i can use my shure mv7 on xlr, capture my consoles and stream it on discord and i get couple of custom buttons. Its a no brainer for me if i get i on sale
I appreciate your ability to put yourself in other people's shoes to help the most people! Even when a product might not be the best for you, you are able to help guide those who it may be useful for! Thanks for the quality content as always!
I think more products should definitely exist in this space. In terms of the dual PC USB solution, that should be a given on more products as well, even if there are less cases of it being needed.
Seems neat, but feel like it basically costs as much as a good capture device AND audio interface. Outputting to two PCs is probably the only remarkable feature at that point.
I have an issue with my audio recording - I always have an echo in my audio and am not able to remove this. Any tips&tricks on how to do so are appreciated
I had one. I ended up returning it due to the software issues, HDMI input having a blue hue, mic input not working. Usually fixed with an unplug and replug. I had an issue where I couldn't adjust the HDMI audio as it was greyed out. Uninstalling the software did not fix the issue. In the end, when it worked it was really dope but to many issues to make it worth it.

My husband's work may take he and I travelling to a lot more places, so I have been thinking about what my travel stream/content station needs to look like. And this could be a GREAT piece to just pack up and go with a laptop, a camera, and a mic! The fact that it has a capture card INCLUDED makes it the perfect travel streaming hub!
Thanks for this video @Senpai . At 07:55 you mention this could be used for a camera that has a 30 min record limit to be used longer. I have an old DSLR camera I hope to use with this exact issue - would the Streamer X really solve this?
I've been sharing your videos with friends of my who stream which in turn brings them here to you. I've garnered so much knowledge about different things that truly find everything you put up pretty helpful even if just for another point of view. Thank you Harris.
I love my streamer x. The only thing I experience is my pc audio breaks and I have to restart my whole rig. The audio interface settings in unify isnt very easy to navigate. But it connects my dual pc stream setup like a breeze. So idk
hey there, great video as usual. I searched a lot around and I cannot find an answer on this: does it support 25fps? I know it does 30fps, but for people like myself living in the 25p countries... would be great to know if it supports 25p (since it doesn't support 24p apparently) Thanks
Really interesting! I'm a music streamer and I run all my audio through my MacBook Pro and my video and stream output through my PC. I don't think this would help with that set up specifically but as you said, if I'm traveling, that might be a great piece of gear to bring to include everything I need! Thanks Harris!
So I have the Beacn Mix Create and a 2 PC set up. Could I, in theory, have my Beacn Control my Gaming PC (mic, game, music etc) then have this link to my Stream PC (instead of having the ground loops etc in Line In and Out)?
i just want someone to make a new product like the goxlr already lol i like having the physical device on the desk so i dont have to worry bout audio levels on a program. idk call me old fashion but i think its easier reaching for a knob to adjust / mute audio wile gaming.
It depends on price, but generally i'm in favour of multi-purpose devices because I have always been supremely poor and so the amount of things I can do with something will help justify the expenditure (example, I bought a PS2 because it could play DVDs and so I didn't need to buy a separate DVD player, yes i'm old lol). As long as it does everything competently (The PS2 worked for DVDs, but it was a worse experience than a DVD player, but that's ok because it saved me money) it sounds great. also:
The only reason I still didn't bought this device is that I'm not sure if I need the software to run it on my secondary computer. I own two computers that I wanna switch between but the second one is locked down with security software that won't allow me to install any kind of extra software. If anyone knows an alternative audio interface / mixer that I could use in a dual-pc with a rode procaster, pls let me know.
I’m anion so forgive the question, but if this only has one video input then how can you stream both your game and show your face simultaneously? Unless you have a ton of inputs on your computer. My MacBook has 1 hdmi. So…
I use this for my streams now, it can be a bit buggy, usually a power off and on works. I think the issue is that it can’t be powered off! It’s constantly on.
Looks like a contender as a GoXLR replacement for me. With GoXLR future support in question and the fact that just bumping the thing disconnects the device from my PC, often requiring a reboot, I am keeping an eye out while not exactly in the market right now. This seems to meet most of my requirements, but not sure on some things still. Does it support press as well as hold on the mute buttons to allow for muting to a specific vs all outputs? Can I program the nobs to adjust other audio device volumes by switching pages or smart pad? Redoing my audio seems a daunting task, but sounds like it is only a matter of time until it may be necessary.
it would actually suit my "family computer" perfectly we dont stream on it often but not enough to bring in all my gear. $399 is abit steep for me though
I don't suppose you can take a look at the Hercules Stream 100 ($149) and the Hercules Stream 200 XLR ($279.99). The 200 XLR seems like it's a great alternative to this and or the RØDECaster Duo (if you don't need the 2 inputs)?
I'm surprised they're pricing this as close as the GoXLR. I personally think if this was half the price or under $150 it would be a undeniable grab for streamers.
As someone who streams for a very specific reason and niche, this actually sounds like an awesome all in one device. If I already didn't have my elgato capture cards and interface this could be a very good viable option (and much cheaper too) than going an buying separate gear that do one thing. Especially considering it can take up to 4K input.
I’m a music producer but a novice for content creation, I need a mixer/interface that will allow me to stream and capture my audio from my DAW, what do I need.? Any help would be appreciated…
If youre thinking of getting this now, you should wait. Apparently there are more than a few problems to iron out in terms of software and functionality. Once that gets all sorted out, it should be a killer device.
Elgato Wave XLR with in app VST support is still far superior. Elgato Marketplace offers more on demand enhancements for free to download as well. Most of the competitor and newer all-in-one solutions seem to flair their hardware offerings, but Wave XLR dominates on the software side still.
Any word from RODE about the Unify software working for the Rodecaster Duo? Heavy software is definitely needed for this smaller device but I was shocked it does not yet work for the next step up with physical faders??
i mean its cool but i dont need the capture i would prefer paying the extra 100 for the duo and get a screen with the mixes and the extra sliders. i dont stream anymore but after having a beacn mix create i couldnt not have my submixes right at my fingertips. especially since on YT the volume of each creator is different some are loud and some are quiet i dont want to turn my game volume down just because the YT video i am watching is way too loud.
I was hoping for a review on this, I've been wanting a super simple but versatile setup. Now with GoXLR support pretty much ending this almost seemed like a too good to be true replacement for my workspace. I've heard of some issues with setup/software, but still definitely something I'm considering moving forward
This looks like it would be good for someone who's maybe taking the "second step" in the streaming space. After they've been using just a webcam and headset mic, playing only PC games because that's all OBS can capture and stream. When they realise they want to take things a little more seriously and want to stream their console games and upgrade to an XLR mic. This plus a new XLR mic seems like a great all in one solution saves having to buy separate capture card and XLR usb interface. I already have a separate capture card, requiring a separate HDMI splitter, plus a yamaha AG03 mixer for the mic and monitors. All the cabling is a mess and once the mixer is setup, you don't really ever "fiddle" with all the knobs and sliders, plus it all cost roughly the same (if not a lttle more) than this device. I wish something like this would have been around a year ago when I was looking to upgrade my gear.
You sold me on the Beacn setup. Went with the mic and audio setup and it's great. It detects all the audio just what I was looking for and no can have my own mix and audience mix. That's all you need! Lmfao
I want the HDMI in a rodecaster pro 2 or rodecaster duo. I want to be able to set multi cam setup and use the rodecaster pad as different camera angle.
I have the steamer x and have been really enjoying it. I haven't made as much use of the smart pads as I'd like, was hoping for something more along the lines of a stream deck or loupedeck live, but they're still useful. I need to look into midi more. Also, I've had random audio loss at points, but nothing a restart of unify can't fix. One other thing is the HDMI had recently stopped working, but rode had good support, so hoping to get it fixed
It's really satisfying knowing that theres *some* company out there that cares about power users. I've been using my Akai LPD8 that I got for $60 and a free software to control my whole pc. Recently I've gotten into macros, and I can now completely control spotify with my hardware buttons.
Its a great little device with a ton of useful features even for someone who isn't a content creator. But I have to massive issues with it. 1. It is unstable (crashes/freezes 1-2 times per day), 2. The headphone out is super noisy.
For that price though it's probably better to hold off and get the Rode Caster Pro 2, The only thing that's worth it to me is the Capture Card integration THAT is a really dope feature.
I think you need to do an ecosystem comparison between Rode and Mackie with their new Mainstream. Could be a short series talking about levels (basic, intermediate, advanced) and console vs PC vs dual PC/hybrid (console+PC). The cost difference between the 2 ecosystems is close...
Can i daisy chain this into a rodecaster duo to use this as a capture card for one of my cameras?
ปีที่แล้ว
I think this is an interesting device for people with a simple setup, or an "on the go" need. But for a stationary setup with an xbox in one corner, and the mic in another... This does not fit in that well. Great and cheap enough to get started, but you will at one point throw away features for alternative options... hope that made sense. :D
It technically supports Linux as well! From RODE on a Reddit post: You shouldn’t have any issues using the Streamer X as an input/output and capture device. We’ve test the Streamer X on a Steam Deck with Audacity and OBS. However, you cannot use any RØDE software with the Linux system. You’ll need to perform firmware updates on a Mac/PC with RØDE Central.
Now here's my question, can this do 21:9 capture? I play out 3440x1440p120hz but downscale it to 2560x1080 for obs to output. There are very few capture cards that do that.
I really want to see you do a review of the RØDECaster Duo. The StreamerX is nice, but I already *have* gear. I have a GoXLR Mini, but it's glitchy and support seems to be ending...I want to replace it with the RØDECaster Duo, but at $500, I'm not sure how it compares and that's too much money for me to gamble and hope it's better.
I could see this device working in my use case. Running a stream for the local fighting game community. Its at a public bar/restaurant so having something small yet versitile could be really cool for a quick pop up stream.
What an awesome all-round device. If I was a streamer or content creator, something like this would be right up my alley. I like simplified solutions that actually work.
Thanks Harris. I am one of those people that is a pro presenter and does watch your videos. I watch your channel to see new tech. I have a complex TV studio set-up in my home, with some great gear. However, if I was starting online from scratch today, that unit is the only AV interface that a presenter would need. 😊
I can how that would be very handy. I've been looking at stream decks and the CC on that one might be the selling point. Can you piggyback a stream deck off that one for more buttons?
I have a goxlr. I'm willing to consider something else if I can get the sliders to control inputs and outputs AND it has the equivalent of a the goxlr routing table. Does this device have those features?
This is super appealing to me since my goxlr has had constant issues and has been driving me crazy and my elgato capture card died this is just what I need. However I have a big question that I've only seen 1 answer for, on reddit, 2 months ago. There's no stream deck compatibility for audio levels? Will they be making a streamdeck plugin or anything that will work with UNIFY so we don't have to tab out and manually click and change all the audio in the Rode software? It looks like that isn't a thing yet. Seems like a massive oversight to me.
I like that you skip the specs part, cause it feels more like people get way to obsessed with that stuff. also now I want to paint my nails again, I know what I'm going to do now!
Hiii So glad you made a video, I love this device so much actually, its been seamless for dual pc. But the program resets everytime you update your pc and my mic sound horrible (currently trying to fix) I dont think its compatible with sm7b, or I just cant figure a good setting.
So as of right now, I’m trying to find a way to get my ps5 audio and my pc audio mixed. This solves that problem however my other main issue is I want to use 1 mic for both ps5 and pc at the same time. Where this device has 2 usb c ports does this solve my mic issue? Are these ports able to be used as an input and output?
I have a complete Sony fx3 gimbal and hand held setup in the works any recommendations on external monitors you've used in the past or currently own? Also if you're not using any I know a content creator that could use one :D. Do not need external recording, budget would be around $150-$200

It’s a stream deck, capture card and audio mixer/preamp that supports XLR made by Rode. How much would you spend on those 3?

I don't suppose you can take a look at the Hercules Stream 100 ($149) and the Hercules Stream 200 XLR ($279.99).
The 200 XLR seems like it's a great alternative to this and or the RØDECaster Duo (if you don't need the 2 inputs)?
I'm surprised they're pricing this as close as the GoXLR. I personally think if this was half the price or under $150 it would be a undeniable grab for streamers.
so its $300? ish?

It's because of the capture capability. Their justification is you're paying for 2 devices in 1, essentially.
@@NickCharles go xlr does the same thing
As someone who streams for a very specific reason and niche, this actually sounds like an awesome all in one device. If I already didn't have my elgato capture cards and interface this could be a very good viable option (and much cheaper too) than going an buying separate gear that do one thing. Especially considering it can take up to 4K input.
I’m a music producer but a novice for content creation, I need a mixer/interface that will allow me to stream and capture my audio from my DAW, what do I need.? Any help would be appreciated…
Can you make a video about connecting 2pc + 3 consoles on both the rodeprocaster2 and procaster duo?
If youre thinking of getting this now, you should wait. Apparently there are more than a few problems to iron out in terms of software and functionality. Once that gets all sorted out, it should be a killer device.
Elgato Wave XLR with in app VST support is still far superior. Elgato Marketplace offers more on demand enhancements for free to download as well. Most of the competitor and newer all-in-one solutions seem to flair their hardware offerings, but Wave XLR dominates on the software side still.
Any word from RODE about the Unify software working for the Rodecaster Duo? Heavy software is definitely needed for this smaller device but I was shocked it does not yet work for the next step up with physical faders??
My dual PC setup has been a nightmare getting to work smoothly with my GoXLR and this looks like a perfect solution.
i mean its cool but i dont need the capture i would prefer paying the extra 100 for the duo and get a screen with the mixes and the extra sliders. i dont stream anymore but after having a beacn mix create i couldnt not have my submixes right at my fingertips. especially since on YT the volume of each creator is different some are loud and some are quiet i dont want to turn my game volume down just because the YT video i am watching is way too loud.
Great vid but does anyone know what arm he uses for his Shure mic at 2:05?
I was hoping for a review on this, I've been wanting a super simple but versatile setup. Now with GoXLR support pretty much ending this almost seemed like a too good to be true replacement for my workspace.
I've heard of some issues with setup/software, but still definitely something I'm considering moving forward
but wait they are coming out with an all white goxlr lol kappa
This looks like it would be good for someone who's maybe taking the "second step" in the streaming space. After they've been using just a webcam and headset mic, playing only PC games because that's all OBS can capture and stream. When they realise they want to take things a little more seriously and want to stream their console games and upgrade to an XLR mic. This plus a new XLR mic seems like a great all in one solution saves having to buy separate capture card and XLR usb interface.
I already have a separate capture card, requiring a separate HDMI splitter, plus a yamaha AG03 mixer for the mic and monitors. All the cabling is a mess and once the mixer is setup, you don't really ever "fiddle" with all the knobs and sliders, plus it all cost roughly the same (if not a lttle more) than this device.
I wish something like this would have been around a year ago when I was looking to upgrade my gear.
You sold me on the Beacn setup. Went with the mic and audio setup and it's great. It detects all the audio just what I was looking for and no can have my own mix and audience mix. That's all you need! Lmfao
I want the HDMI in a rodecaster pro 2 or rodecaster duo. I want to be able to set multi cam setup and use the rodecaster pad as different camera angle.
Been waiting for your review on this Senpai. Thank you and this is definitely my next purchase!
Have you tried out the Mackie M Caster Studio? If so thoughts....?
I have the steamer x and have been really enjoying it. I haven't made as much use of the smart pads as I'd like, was hoping for something more along the lines of a stream deck or loupedeck live, but they're still useful. I need to look into midi more. Also, I've had random audio loss at points, but nothing a restart of unify can't fix. One other thing is the HDMI had recently stopped working, but rode had good support, so hoping to get it fixed
small thing but could you mention pricing at the ends of videos or something? It would be nice for low budget creators like myself. Thanks.
hmm interesting, glad you reviewed this, because it sounds like something I could use and less clutter
It's really satisfying knowing that theres *some* company out there that cares about power users. I've been using my Akai LPD8 that I got for $60 and a free software to control my whole pc. Recently I've gotten into macros, and I can now completely control spotify with my hardware buttons.
Its a great little device with a ton of useful features even for someone who isn't a content creator. But I have to massive issues with it.
1. It is unstable (crashes/freezes 1-2 times per day),
2. The headphone out is super noisy.
For that price though it's probably better to hold off and get the Rode Caster Pro 2, The only thing that's worth it to me is the Capture Card integration THAT is a really dope feature.
I think you need to do an ecosystem comparison between Rode and Mackie with their new Mainstream. Could be a short series talking about levels (basic, intermediate, advanced) and console vs PC vs dual PC/hybrid (console+PC). The cost difference between the 2 ecosystems is close...
Can i daisy chain this into a rodecaster duo to use this as a capture card for one of my cameras?
I think this is an interesting device for people with a simple setup, or an "on the go" need. But for a stationary setup with an xbox in one corner, and the mic in another... This does not fit in that well. Great and cheap enough to get started, but you will at one point throw away features for alternative options... hope that made sense. :D
It technically supports Linux as well! From RODE on a Reddit post:
You shouldn’t have any issues using the Streamer X as an input/output and capture device. We’ve test the Streamer X on a Steam Deck with Audacity and OBS.
However, you cannot use any RØDE software with the Linux system. You’ll need to perform firmware updates on a Mac/PC with RØDE Central.
Now here's my question, can this do 21:9 capture? I play out 3440x1440p120hz but downscale it to 2560x1080 for obs to output. There are very few capture cards that do that.
I really want to see you do a review of the RØDECaster Duo. The StreamerX is nice, but I already *have* gear. I have a GoXLR Mini, but it's glitchy and support seems to be ending...I want to replace it with the RØDECaster Duo, but at $500, I'm not sure how it compares and that's too much money for me to gamble and hope it's better.
I could see this device working in my use case. Running a stream for the local fighting game community. Its at a public bar/restaurant so having something small yet versitile could be really cool for a quick pop up stream.
What an awesome all-round device. If I was a streamer or content creator, something like this would be right up my alley. I like simplified solutions that actually work.
Can you connect USBC headphones to it and then send that signal back to the computer? Maxwell Audzee wireless dongle?
Thanks Harris. I am one of those people that is a pro presenter and does watch your videos. I watch your channel to see new tech.
I have a complex TV studio set-up in my home, with some great gear.
However, if I was starting online from scratch today, that unit is the only AV interface that a presenter would need. 😊
I can how that would be very handy. I've been looking at stream decks and the CC on that one might be the selling point. Can you piggyback a stream deck off that one for more buttons?
I have a goxlr. I'm willing to consider something else if I can get the sliders to control inputs and outputs AND it has the equivalent of a the goxlr routing table. Does this device have those features?
This is super appealing to me since my goxlr has had constant issues and has been driving me crazy and my elgato capture card died this is just what I need.
However I have a big question that I've only seen 1 answer for, on reddit, 2 months ago. There's no stream deck compatibility for audio levels? Will they be making a streamdeck plugin or anything that will work with UNIFY so we don't have to tab out and manually click and change all the audio in the Rode software? It looks like that isn't a thing yet. Seems like a massive oversight to me.
I like that you skip the specs part, cause it feels more like people get way to obsessed with that stuff. also now I want to paint my nails again, I know what I'm going to do now!
Hiii So glad you made a video, I love this device so much actually, its been seamless for dual pc. But the program resets everytime you update your pc and my mic sound horrible (currently trying to fix) I dont think its compatible with sm7b, or I just cant figure a good setting.
started with a streamerX before i upgraded to a rodecaster pro 2, it served me well
looks good as a basic alternative to replace GOXLR.
I would like you to do a little review of M-Audio. Thanks Harry
Love the products RODE has been cranking out lately! Quality ❤
Thinking about making it a part of our solo "on the road" set up 🤔
So as of right now, I’m trying to find a way to get my ps5 audio and my pc audio mixed. This solves that problem however my other main issue is I want to use 1 mic for both ps5 and pc at the same time. Where this device has 2 usb c ports does this solve my mic issue? Are these ports able to be used as an input and output?
i was thinking about getting the rodecaster pro 2 so I could use an xlr mic and my guitar but the capture card inside this one seems like a great deal
I have a complete Sony fx3 gimbal and hand held setup in the works any recommendations on external monitors you've used in the past or currently own? Also if you're not using any I know a content creator that could use one :D. Do not need external recording, budget would be around $150-$200
This, but with two xlr jacks and usb hub functionality to pass through a usb webcam/camera (like my song zv1f)
