There are a lot of videos like this one that talk through all the characteristics of the Rodecaster Pro. Not many that discuss how to employ it in video production and streaming. Unfortunately, despite the title, this was left out here as well. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere.
This device seems amazing, it’s a OB (outside broadcast) system all in one box! This tutorial has sold me on it! The processing, the memory and the ease od use!!! SOLD!
It's Great the only thing I believe it's missing is Multi Track Recording into the Mixer/SD Card and More Importantly On Board Effects Processing Like "Reverb, Chorus, Delays Etc!
I’ve ordered mine and waiting but what a great start. The more videos I watch on the rodecaster the more I feel I invested in such a great product! You have just gained a new subscriber. Awesome video!
I know you did this video Aug 4,2019 that was awesome my friend and you gave a great simple overview and intuitive on that RODe Caster Pro I’m in the USA 🇺🇸 and I’m getting one.. Thank You for taken the time to do this..
I have no experience running a audio board system, doing pre or post production, and I purchased my rodecaster about a month ago and Im getting ready to start doing our radio internet show, and this rodecaster is just amazing! Great video by the way, THANKS!!!
I have been trying to find out if there was a way of using for a radio station & thanks to you with informing me about the line in feature. No other video mentions this even one from a RADIO COMPANY on TH-cam.
Just bought one! I do a music podcast and this gives me EVERYTHING I’ve wanted all in one place. You have the BEST tutorial on TH-cam for this mixer! Simple, to the point and thorough. Thanks👍✨🎶
Clickbait or no, don’t really care. I really liked the way you explained the device. I’m looking into getting one to improve my audio for TH-cam, as well as using it for podcasts. For a beginner like me , this has been a very useful video. Thank you for taking the time to create it.
I just unboxed my system last night. I like the fact the arm comes with two different ways to attach to a table, you either screw it like in this video or use the clamp which is super easy and very sturdy. I was able to set up all 4 arms, podcaster pro, and the two monitors on a small table about 30" wide. Connecting the cell through Bluetooth was the best method because you have less cables to deal with. The 4 xlr cables this system brings are 15' long and way more than what I needed so I kept it tied with a zip tie that came with the cables. The monitors did not produce sound at first so I had to turn off power then back on the monitors themselves. The red mute button on the bottom work as expected. This system has a C-port in the back which connects to your computer through USB.
Great video - a couple of (probably obvious questions) Does the roadcaster have phantom power on all four inputs? And what is the best way to output to an iPhone (dealing with output levels too) for like Fb Live? Thanks so much.
I wish you guys would have showed exactly how to set it up to do a video recording though. This is pretty much just showing how it works when you do a normal audio podcast. Im trying to figure out how you add video with it. Any suggestions on where I might find more info on how to do that? Thanks.
@@vanhargis572 Haha yeah I know and it looks like a lot of other people are wondering the same thing. I wish they would reply back and offer some help.
@@DaCake2 @van Hargis the RODECaster Pro is solely an audio device, it does not feature any video inputs. As such you would need to mix the audio and video externally from this device. This can be done in a variety of ways but the simplest would be with a software mixing application, like OBS, Wirecast or vMix. You'd need a video I/O device to connect your video source to your computer but in these software applications you can take video and audio from different sources.
@@ScanProVideo Hi there... thanks for the reply. I actually have the Rodecaster pro and I totally get all that, but we are looking to add video to our podcast and from reading your title, I took it that you were going to explain WHY you thought it was good for video production and how exactly to set up video with it. Thanks anyway for the reply though.
@@DaCake2 The Rodecaster is great for video production because it takes a lot of the stress out of getting high quality, professional audio for podcasts or small live events. Not every camera operator can be an audio engineer so the Rodecaster makes getting the best audio possible really simple. You might want to take a look at our video on setting up Wirecast: th-cam.com/video/zUPo0Zj4Mio/w-d-xo.html This goes through setting up a live stream within Wirecast including adding sources. As you can add different video sources to Wirecast, you can also add different audio sources. As such you can combine the output of the Rodecaster with any video sources you can get into your computer. I hope this helps!
Great video. I just got my RodeCaster delivered today. Unfortunately, I need to wait to play with it until tomorrow when my new Shure SM7B arrives. I have always been a video guy, but I am looking to expand into podcasting and using this for live and voiceovers. Using this to capture audio from multiple people when you are doing video voiceovers; such as telling a story.
This was a really good video.. Probably the best one I've seen thus far regarding the Rodecaster Pro.. I just purchased one the other day and I am extremely excited about its capabilities for my online radio show.. This is truly gonna enhance the quality of presentation for my show and I'm looking forward to it.. Thank you
Update I have my Rode Caster Pro after a few days after I saw your tutorial.. I LOVE IT:) Now that they have the new update 2.00.4 it is absolutely extraordinary a game changer.. Can do my Podcast with this Rode as a one man show.. It revolutionize the Podcast Industry. Only one downfall-It’s addictive:)
I’m sold. This seems great. Yeah, someone who knows a little bit of audio could do everything that this mixer does with cheaper ones, but it is absolutely convenient to have it the easiest way posible and just focus on the content side of things. Also the preamps and the extra processing sounds great.
Nice video. What about this scenario for the RODECaster: 4 microphones (4 people input) and not record (or simultaneous record for backup if possible)....output RODECaster .....into to two DSLR camera inputs so video does not need to be sync'd in post. Is this possible ?
Thanks for this brother! Ive been using the Rodecaster but there were a couple of features I wasn't certain of and you answered all of my questions. Stay blessed man!
Okay, I don't wish to sound stupid, but as I am.....I currently use Audacity for my podcast so if I make any mistakes I can just go back and redo them, can this be done here AND my shows have to last exactly 60 minutes is there anyway, apart from having stopwatch/clock, I can tell what time I'm up to?
Hi i am new in this i buy a Rodecaster Pro and i an looking for a easy to use software to record my audio with videos at the same time. any help. Thanks
I love it too. However, I've had issues with the audio from the rodecaster syncing with the video from my GH5's. If it's an hour long video, by the end of the video, the audio track is about 1 second off. Rodecaster tech support suggested some software that will transform the audio file to fit to these videos, but it just feels like that shouldn't be necessary. Have you done any longer videos and run into this? I've just been "adjusting the duration" of the audio clip from the rode until it lines up, but that's such a pain in the butt. Curious is you've had this issue and what you do about it? Or if it's preventable! Thanks!!!
Hey Brian, I've experienced this before when trying to sync external audio recorders and a video. Typically it comes down to the frame rate you're filming in. Filming in something other than 23.976 will sometimes throw off the timing for some reason. Hope that helps a little bit!
This video is awesome. When having someone on the phone and I'm playing something either on my pads or from computer the person on the phone does not hear what I'm playing. Is there a feature for allowing or preventing this?
Great video! I just got the RODECaster Pro and I’m trying to record in to GarageBand but I keep getting an error message when I drag the files in. Can you explain why that is?? Also, What is the entire process to get the RODECaster companion app? How do I use the RODECaster’s website for downloading updating firmware? Is that something free, or do I have to pay some sort of subscription to the website?
Newbie here - thinking this is the set up for me and my future pod- how do you incorporate video into this for streaming? Through the computer - I know is one way correct? - is there a software I use on the computer? or can you hook up a camera? So bad a tech. lol. Any information is great. Thanks!
If you're using the Rodecaster Pro for radio on a remote or outside broadcast, wouldn't it be better to have the processor off because the sound will go through the station's own processor as it goes out?
Have u experienced the mic arm connected to the table guests are sitting on , capturing un- necessary noise from the tap of the hand on table ? How do you fix that ?
Do I still ne a pre amp / audio interface or cloudlifter using a shure sm7b for example before using this? I doubt that I can just plug a SHURE SM7B in and go?
Nidus I saw a video where someone used the SM7B with just the preamps of the mixer and it sounded pretty good. I also too want to know, because knowing the SM7B you almost always need a Cloudlifter or something to not stress your interface/mixer preamps and actually get a good signal.
Is there a way to delay certain audio channels? I would like to use this with video, but the audio needs to be delayed by a couple of hundred milliseconds in channels one and two, but not other channels.
The outputs on the back are 1/4" They are monitor outputs. They hear what ever is selected to monitor. As they are facing the back, the same as the XLR inputs - I suspect they are for the users of the mics. There is a monitor output in the front as well, which is 1/8 and convenient for the operator of the device. It really is an amazing tool - just got mine this weekend.
Great video. Is there a line out of the Rode that could go into a Mevo camera or similar, so that the mix of 2 voices on microphone for example can be synched with video? If so, would it go directly into the camera, or via an iRig 2 or iRig Pre accessory?
You could use the headphone jack at the front or back depending on what you use to monitor. You would have to be careful with balancing it as its not a true line out but it could work
I don't know you room so based on the 2 videos I watched: 1. Your gain sounds way too low. Make sure you mics are set between the green rectangles inside the gain property. Recording at -18 db is unnecessary since none of you are screaming into the mic. This will fix most of your noise issues. Compare it to this video which is peaking well around -4. 2. Make sure the personal settings are set properly and honestly. If you voice is high and soft, set it to that. In some videos soft spoken voices sound overcompressed because it's probably set to medium or loud voice. 3. Your room doesn't treated at all. It reverbs heavily. If you are using foam, that might be the entire reason why especially in a larger sized room. You can make acoustic panels yourself with rockwool pretty easy. I suggest you watching this video called "Bobby Owsinski - Improve the Sound of Your Room" which goes into deep detail how to treat your room in both a listening environment and a recording one but for podcasting, you can do anything in that video and your audio will sound a lot better and his tips are very affordable too!
Is it me, or is the sound not right? Sounds like you are clipping a bit... 8:37 is really clear that you are up in the reds... unprocessed sounds better, so what is going on here?
No you are not wrong. The sound is the Aural Exciter. It is quite harsh and can make certain voices sound quite 'crunchy' Most people i have spoken to turn this off. Ironically its Rode microphones that come off worst. Other than that the voice processing on this product is spot on. I think in a future firmware update they may add granular adjustment of certain effects. it could also be the way he has set up the strength of the certain processes through the pitch and loudness of his voice because this directly impacts things like noise gates and compression
you mentioned you can listen to some audio without the recording or other people in podcast hearing what you are previewing....where and how did you do that? I can't find any explanation about that.
Getting the Rodecaster pro, but is there an "inexpensive" way to also record a live feed from multiple cameras while switching between them so you don't have a ton of editing in post?
There’s a program called “Logitech capture”. I plug in two usb webcams and 1 usb yeti microphone and you can do what you’re asking for. Be sure that you computer/laptop is up to par with specs though.
Its a TRRS cable input, but I'm not sure what kind of cable would work from a line input (like a DJ mixer outs to a TRRS input cable?) It would be nice if there was an explanation somewhere of what to use to get that phone input as a line input. That would be boss!
Can I plug in instruments and mics and I need at least 8 or 6 instruments also want to hook up my camera and put on studio sounding preformances live on ethoer Utube or Instagram. Please let me know it's this or zoom l8
Hi! I have a question about the RodeCaster. Is it possible assign 2 different channels (the usb channel and the jack channel) to a broadcasting software? For example: the first channel for listen and broadcast the music and second one for listen the preview of the next song just in my headphones? As I have output 1/2 and 2/4 from an audio card. I hope to have been clear! thank you so much!
This is everything I would like to start my live radio broadcast, in my home. How much would the mixer and moco cost me for all the equipment that I need to get start? This is the third video I have watched tonight.
Hi, can you edit out mistakes you might make when pre recording or is that a daft question? I mean, when I record on to an H4N Pro, if I make a mistake, I just pause and say it again, then remove the part I don't want when editing. Can you do that with this device?
Would this work well if I have a recording studio and I record artist's performances? Have you had an opportunity to connect it to a software like audacity? Curious to know will it record to separate tracks in the software for me to export stems?
How about to buy one Roadcaster pro, could I have a good deal for my song cover recording. To explain me simply as a TH-camr ( singing & recording with karaoke HD). Could it give to me with more deals, especially on having manageable echos & with reverb sounds. See you around, right here watching from ROMA con AMOR!
Thank you for this very informative tutorial of the RODECaster Pro! The question that I have is.. how can I bring my co-host for my video podcast into view as I live in Los Angeles, CA and she lives in Canada? I am starting a video podcast so I would like her to be on the screen so viewers will be able to see her as well as hear her. How would I go about this if possible and what gear would she need on her in?
Quick question, say I'm using a new iPhone to film a podcast. Can I plug it into this and some Lav mics as well as a rode mic for the audio of the podcast. I guess my question is can I plug my phone into it so I don't have to sync audio and video in post ?
There are a lot of videos like this one that talk through all the characteristics of the Rodecaster Pro. Not many that discuss how to employ it in video production and streaming. Unfortunately, despite the title, this was left out here as well. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere.
Damm lol so I guess I should skip this video
rodes are just the best audio company and products.this is innovation
I purchased this as well with 2 pod mics. One of the simplest, intuitive, and amazing pieces of gear I’ve ever purchased.

Jesus Movement it actually does that with the firmware update

The title of your video is "perfect for video production". Did I miss the part where you discuss the video portion of the rode caster?
Ok so I’m not the only one
The Blackmagic Atem Mini is the goto for video
No. The other bit of the title "Rodecaster Pro Tutorial..." kinda gives it away.
Yeah I was waitining for that too.
is it channel name?

Hi, Dear Brother ✋✋✋
i love this recorder.
I want to asking one thing ,can i record the same time on SD card and on pc ? pls tell me
Great video thank you. Does this mean you can have 6 guests 4 in the studio 1 on the phone via Bluetooth and on on a computer via usb and say Skype?
Would love to see a video of taking your finished recording from Podcaster PRO and creating a finished MP3 for upload to LibSyn

Hey Brian,
I've experienced this before when trying to sync external audio recorders and a video. Typically it comes down to the frame rate you're filming in. Filming in something other than 23.976 will sometimes throw off the timing for some reason. Hope that helps a little bit!
Connecting Creators yeah we do 30fps
Logan 5 Well since I reported this problem, Rode sent me a new unit and now it doesn’t drift. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Excellent presentation of the device's features - you have me very interested in acquiring this tool.
This video is awesome. When having someone on the phone and I'm playing something either on my pads or from computer the person on the phone does not hear what I'm playing. Is there a feature for allowing or preventing this?
I’ve seen other reviews of this and I’m pretty sure they will be able to hear everything that’s playing (including the pads)
Hi, i was just wondering if anybody knew why I don't have the voice settings displayed at 7:33
when you call people trough this. do you use the phone mic or the one connected to the røde?
Great video! I just got the RODECaster Pro and I’m trying to record in to GarageBand but I keep getting an error message when I drag the files in. Can you explain why that is??

Hi great product, but I have a question, how do I record the live audio into my video mixer in my iPad? Thanks
Hi i am thining to buy one does it also has a pfl option on it
Great video - Thank You
Do I still ne a pre amp / audio interface or cloudlifter using a shure sm7b for example before using this? I doubt that I can just plug a SHURE SM7B in and go?
Nidus I saw a video where someone used the SM7B with just the preamps of the mixer and it sounded pretty good. I also too want to know, because knowing the SM7B you almost always need a Cloudlifter or something to not stress your interface/mixer preamps and actually get a good signal.
Am debating sm7b + cloudlifter+ scarlet 212 or sm7b+roadcaster or sm7b+goxlr mini ? Or this is over kill just go with podcastr and rode mic
Is there a way to delay certain audio channels? I would like to use this with video, but the audio needs to be delayed by a couple of hundred milliseconds in channels one and two, but not other channels.
What did you use for your screen and screen? Am I correct that you have a green screen behind you?
Great video. I love nine.
The headphone outputs on the back, are they 3.5 mm? And do they output the entire mix, or do they just output that channel's microphone?
The outputs on the back are 1/4"
They are monitor outputs. They hear what ever is selected to monitor.
As they are facing the back, the same as the XLR inputs - I suspect they are for the users of the mics.
There is a monitor output in the front as well, which is 1/8 and convenient for the operator of the device.

I get a lot of background noise even on a quiet room with treatment, any suggestions?
I don't know you room so based on the 2 videos I watched:
1. Your gain sounds way too low. Make sure you mics are set between the green rectangles inside the gain property.
Recording at -18 db is unnecessary since none of you are screaming into the mic. This will fix most of your noise issues.
Compare it to this video which is peaking well around -4.
2. Make sure the personal settings are set properly and honestly. If you voice is high and soft, set it to that. In some videos soft spoken voices sound overcompressed because it's probably set to medium or loud voice.
3. Your room doesn't treated at all. It reverbs heavily. If you are using foam, that might be the entire reason why especially in a larger sized room. You can make acoustic panels yourself with rockwool pretty easy.
I suggest you watching this video called "Bobby Owsinski - Improve the Sound of Your Room" which goes into deep detail how to treat your room in both a listening environment and a recording one but for podcasting, you can do anything in that video and your audio will sound a lot better and his tips are very affordable too!
Hey thanks for the reply, im definetly looking into all of this
How did you do video switching? And was RCP connected to video switching solution?
Is it me, or is the sound not right? Sounds like you are clipping a bit...
8:37 is really clear that you are up in the reds... unprocessed sounds better, so what is going on here?
No you are not wrong. The sound is the Aural Exciter. It is quite harsh and can make certain voices sound quite 'crunchy' Most people i have spoken to turn this off.

totally agree it sounds much better un-processed
Got to say what a fantastic review of this product. You got a sub from me. Now time to start saving....
Tell me is there any reason me buying the Hindenburg Mixer on top of this device?
Can you have like 50 sound effects loaded on the mixer, and be able to switch them out on the fly and assign them to a colored pad?
you mentioned you can listen to some audio without the recording or other people in podcast hearing what you are previewing....where and how did you do that? I can't find any explanation about that.
Hi, will this work if I have an IPad Pro instead of a laptop?
A great tutorial video 😁
Cheers! 🍻
I'm trying to get through this video, but I keep getting stuck on "What kind of camera are you using?" Your video is beautiful!
Getting the Rodecaster pro, but is there an "inexpensive" way to also record a live feed from multiple cameras while switching between them so you don't have a ton of editing in post?
There’s a program called “Logitech capture”. I plug in two usb webcams and 1 usb yeti microphone and you can do what you’re asking for. Be sure that you computer/laptop is up to par with specs though.
Its a TRRS cable input, but I'm not sure what kind of cable would work from a line input (like a DJ mixer outs to a TRRS input cable?) It would be nice if there was an explanation somewhere of what to use to get that phone input as a line input. That would be boss!
Can I plug in instruments and mics and I need at least 8 or 6 instruments also want to hook up my camera and put on studio sounding preformances live on ethoer Utube or Instagram. Please let me know it's this or zoom l8
Hi! I have a question about the RodeCaster. Is it possible assign 2 different channels (the usb channel and the jack channel) to a broadcasting software? For example: the first channel for listen and broadcast the music and second one for listen the preview of the next song just in my headphones? As I have output 1/2 and 2/4 from an audio card. I hope to have been clear! thank you so much!
very good review!
This is everything I would like to start my live radio broadcast, in my home. How much would the mixer and moco cost me for all the equipment that I need to get start? This is the third video I have watched tonight.
About 1200$ US with a mic, macro sd card, power bank, mic stand, headphones!
Hi, can you edit out mistakes you might make when pre recording or is that a daft question? I mean, when I record on to an H4N Pro, if I make a mistake, I just pause and say it again, then remove the part I don't want when editing. Can you do that with this device?
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could use the pads to make beats... can we get an update to make pads responsive thanks
Can I record video using this?
does anyone know where I can buy that mic stand shown in the video? it held up to 4 mics
Thanks
Don't you think if you are comparing raw to processed, the gain should be the same?
Would this work well if I have a recording studio and I record artist's performances?
Have you had an opportunity to connect it to a software like audacity? Curious to know will it record to separate tracks in the software for me to export stems?
How about to buy one Roadcaster pro, could I have a good deal for my song cover recording. To explain me simply as a TH-camr ( singing & recording with karaoke HD). Could it give to me with more deals, especially on having manageable echos & with reverb sounds. See you around, right here watching from ROMA con AMOR!
Does the Rodecaster pro have a port for the rode wireless go?
I am asking because I would like to do in person interviews
Thank you for this very informative tutorial of the RODECaster Pro! The question that I have is.. how can I bring my co-host for my video podcast into view as I live in Los Angeles, CA and she lives in Canada? I am starting a video podcast so I would like her to be on the screen so viewers will be able to see her as well as hear her. How would I go about this if possible and what gear would she need on her in?
Quick question, say I'm using a new iPhone to film a podcast. Can I plug it into this and some Lav mics as well as a rode mic for the audio of the podcast. I guess my question is can I plug my phone into it so I don't have to sync audio and video in post ?
The Tech4Cast best best is to record it with obs and have all that go into your computer.
great vid
Brilliant. Thank you.
Great video :-)
Would you guys also recommend this while streaming solo or talking to people in ts / discord like regular gaming and streaming on Twitch?
