I just received my RODECaster Pro and I greatly appreciate how thorough this video is. You made this very easy and I appreciate it, thank you. I will be joining the ranks of podcasters very soon. Great video.
Kind Sir, RODE SHOULD PAY YOU for such a CLEAR, DETAILED, WALK THROUGH for "non-techies" (but CREATIVES), who have embraced the ROADCASTER PRO!!! BRAVO!!! THANK YOU!!! -PERCY C. PAYNE!
GREAT in-depth review of many features and how to use them. You explained everything so that it was very easy to follow and understand. I have been using my RODECaster for about a month now and this gave me the confidence to dig a little deeper to play with some more settings and really push the unit and use more of the features. THANK YOU!
Sorry about the auto-focus! Also, I forgot to mention phantom power - on the "Level" adjustment for each channel, there is a toggle on the screen to turn phantom on/off for your mic, should you require it
Just B R I L L I A N T - Thank you "RODE" & Thank You, good sir, for producing this awesome review of this fantastic RØDECaster Pro. The new Beta 2.1 firmware update is going to make a HUGE improvement on all my projects & productions. Agreed, I love the Rodecaster Pro and what it does for my Live-Streams. I am a solo operator currently producing & hosting 6 weekly shows (3 on Facebook & 3 on TH-cam). The RØDECaster Pro has been a reliable workhorse, easy to navigate and continues to impress. I am keeping a keen ear & watching the progress of this Beta version before I chose to update. Once again Thank you for this review. Cheers iSpike (New King Of Live Streaming)
This video was super helpful. The mix-minus explanation solved the problem of my computer's audio showing in the microphone channel of the Streamlabs OBS' mixer. Much appreciated!
thank you for putting this out here! I have been tryin to solve the issue of noise on the outputs. I'm trying to send the out put to either a recorder like yolobox or camera... but the noise that comes out is rediculous... and I haven't found anyone that has a solution that works... I hope that you might take the time to answer this question either yay or nay..:) thanks!
Hello I am Mac user and I own the Rodecaster Pro (I). I am trying to set up OBS so I can capture each Rodecaster source (mic 1, mic 2, mic 3) individually. Can you help? Thanks a lot!!!
I am not sure if OBS will recognize individual ins/outs, I believe you just want to feed it a stereo mix from the rodecaster. You can mix everything on the rodecaster itself
Hello I just got my RODECASTER PRO but I also own a MEVO Camera, I will like to know how can I connect my MEVO to My RODECASTER, very appreciate what you doing, thanks
Rode should link their stuff to this video since they don't really give any setup information. Thank you so much for this video I feel like an expert now because ya boy was struggling!
Not sure what happened but at 18:20 you got this slight hum in the audio...annoying lol. It is a really good vid though. I was just looking at this trying to get some ideas at how to enhance the audio of my stream. I'm thinking since I have a halfway decent webcam I will do my audio first then get video some other time. What do you think?
Are you recording the computer section of the audio through the Rodecaster? I ask because the hiss in your recording is troublesome if so, and makes me question the preamps. Otherwise, a very nice and comprehensive video.
it was recorded using the XY mic on a Zoom H6, placed about a foot in front of me. there is some room noise in the office but I couldn't record on the RCP since I was using it in the actual tutorial. sorry for the noise!
Hi there! I really enjoyed this video , it was so informative. i just wanted to ask about the part where you used the adapter to record the backup sound on your iPhone 29:17 , does that method also works when recording a video on the iPhone, meaning can you use the same methods while recording a video on the iPhone but with sound coming from the Rodecaster pro? P.S I plan on buying the Rodcaaster so I'm just doing some research before actually buying it. Your response would be highly appreciated.
I haven't tested this exact setup, but normally if you plug a mic or sound source into the iPhone while filming, it does switch over to capture from this new sound source instead of the built-in mic. my guess is that it would work!
Awesome video. I guess what I want to know is how you recorded the video and the sound with the camera and the rodecaster. What does the set up look like. I’m using a canon M50 Thanks.
Great video. But if I’m recording in stereo, all the multichannel stuff doesn’t apply correct? And this is all if I’m wanting to correct anything in post? I should just have one file when uploading from the microSD
The RCP will always record a stereo file for you - then if you choose it will record a multitrack version of the recording as well. It packages everything up in one file. You can export it using the RCP companion app, or, just drag and drop into a DAW such as Logic and the software will split the file up into each 14 separate tracks
Can I still erase the SD card after every session if I use the podcast transfer mode? Basically should I transfer the files first then unplug the usb cord then erase the SD or could I still erase it while the cord is still plugged in?
Amazing video. I'm planning on getting this thing for my D&D games, to live record them while also using the sound board to add sound effects to spells and other actions. I also want to feed music in from my phone. I was gonna ask if this would all work but this video was SO through that you already answered the question. Thanks so much!
I've had luck running one of the headphone outs into a Rode Wireless GO transmitter and then the receiver in the camera with excellent results just to eliminate the post sync. Just make sure that the headphone volume isn't so loud. Most video editing software makes it super easy to auto-sync the video and audio as long as you have reference audio from the DSLR video file.
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?
Loved your video!! I do a podcast for the school I work at and am seriously thinking of getting one of these. How is the instruction manual? I have so many questions! Does the instruction cards explain everything that you mentioned in the Advanced Settings?
Super helpful video! One question I do have is, when using the RodeCaster as an audio source and recording on my computer can I put each microphone on their own individual track or is it normal to record all microphones on one track?
definitely put them as separate tracks, if you open a DAW and use the RCP as your input source it should give you all 16 inputs as options to choose from
I'm usually critical about the pace and waffle of tutorials but this one is BRILLIANT. Well done. Do you have an advanced tips and tricks one on this as well - or maybe it's all been covered. I am using mine to plug into Zetta to Go software for pre - rec radio shows - any advice ?
It is specifically for channel 1, to duck the rest of the channels - imagine you are the host of the show on channel 1 and want to make sure your voice cuts through above the rest. It's misleading, as I assumed it would be ducking for all mic inputs against the aux/BT channels, but alas
Could I have one rode caster for my karaoke music recording from either cellphone or computer source.yuitube , have it.afyer recording ,..be edited then later send to TH-cam as final fine recorded music form me as I am cover song. See you around right now watching from ROMA con AMOR!
WE have the Rodecastser with 2.1.0 firmware. TO record Multitrack, (we usually record to sd card) should SD Card be ON, USB on or off (we have part of recording coming from another location through computer and usb port), then Bypass Audio Processing ON or OFF, and Post Fader On or OFF? What woul dbe the settings? Thanks - nice video
If you're recording to SD, that should be set to Multitrack. If you're bringing in an audio source via USB, you can still set the USB setting to multitrack, as that only affects the recording via the USB connection (output). Bypass audio processing, I recommend this is always turned on, as a safety measure
Hey mate, Great video Thanks. I love my Rodecaster Pro & now the 2.1 firmware update is out Man O Man it's tripled the Rodcasters capabilities big time! Cheers from #iSpike New King Of Live Streaming
Cheers, thanks for the comment! The beta update is amazing, it's great having control over all of the onboard FX, and goofing around with the reverb setting has been hilarious!
Can you port recordings from the SD card to the computer via the usb link, or do you have to physically move the SD card to the computer to get the data?
I'm looking to buy one of these new class of devices (Rodecaster Pro, Podtrak P8, etc) and this video is extremely helpful in choosing one to buy. Just to be clear, the multi-track files are always dry or can you capture them post-processing from the Rodecaster?
Hi there i know this very cool gadget is for podcasting. One question for u, is it posible to connect a piano keyboard via 2 xlr and sound good? I know this is taking it a little far lol. I wouldnt wanna burn all the equipment. TY in advanced. GBY
Great video tutorial. Just bought my rodecaster pro. I'm having an issue with the sound bank. When I press on the pad my applications on mac are visible but faded. I press on the icons and it does nothing.
how can i pari out 2 different bluetooth speakers? i.e i want that the sound from the device to be sent to 2 different bluetooth speakers.. help me if u know how this works.. My bluetooth speaker is the mini jbl and another bluetooth speaker.. would be nice to signal sounds to different areas of the house party.. thx
Thank you so much for the excellent video!! Question please. I'm able to use my Samsung Android phone to do backup recording from the Rodecaster to the phone using the supplied USB cable (plus adapter), however the sound pad jingles are not being recorded onto the phone. Only the microphone voices are getting recorded to the phone audio app, but none of the sound pad audio such as the intro music, laughter, etc. The same thing happens when I do backup recording with my Tascam DR-05x recorder (none of the sound pads are being recorded). I do have the latest firmware 2.1 installed as of today 9/16. Do I need to change the menu settings somewhere on the Rodecaster?
I have never had this problem, but I'd double check what your multitrack recording settings are - you may need to turn off the USB option from multitrack settings
This is a great video guide. Very comprehensive and informative. Just what I was hoping to find before my Rodecaster arrives. On your video I found quality of the call very poor and that could leave a podcast short of expectations. Can you interface with a laptop to use zoom, Skype or Slack instead?
@@thepodcastmasters Awesome video, thank you, so detailed, just ordered it! Quick question regarding Zoom, how do we help the quality of the guests on Zoom? I've done these in the past, and most guests audio is sub par with mine, can we put them into a separate channel and add the affects and help with that, or how does it work exactly? Thank you!
One of my co workers just got one of these. It's a dope machine. Can you use it with Airtime.Pro ( online radio site) along with OBS (Video live stream)?
Podmic has some small buzz noises due to electric field interferences that's to those who have used it on the Rodecaster pro so I recommend you to get the sm7bshure
Great video and very informative, thank you for that. I have a quick question, are there any benefits getting the RodeCaster Pro if I have the Tascam 24SD mixer for doing Poscast? Thank you.
I haven't used that Tascam unit before, but I can certainly say that the RCP is the best stand-alone podcast recorder that we've tested out. Good luck!
Hi I have this and am trying to record gameplay while using the rodecaster for recording my voice. Do you have a video on how I would go about setting it up to a desktop pc thank you
This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you so much. Do you find it way easier to just record to the SD card and then post edit in Logic? The only way I've done it is to record directly into Logic but it seems like it would be a lot easier to just record to an SD card and import it in. Thoughts?
Thanks for the info. I have a pr40 connected to channel 1 and still have a tinny sound with Aural Exciter turned off. Do you know how else to address this, please?
If you are running the newest firmware you also have options for a de-esser - I would play with that. If it's still giving you trouble, the PR40 may not be a good fit your voice. Try an SM7B. Also, you may need a preamp for your mic - try the Cloudlifter
I have a problem with my ride caster, I tried to download the rodecaster software, my rodecaster is shutting down , it doesn’t work right now, what can I do ?
I just unboxed my rodecaster pro. I have 2 questions. Can I connect my iphone via a trrs to lighning connector? do you know where I can find that cable? Also, I've seen others take the included usb-c to Usb cable and add a Lightning to USB Camera connector to connect to an iphone. Can I just buy from Apple their USB-c to lightning cable and eliminate the need for a Camera connector? ( I want to use my iphone to make a backup copy of the recording)
Randy, great idea, I use that same setup to run a backup all the time, using Voice Memos on the iPhone. The exact cable you want is this one: amzn.to/2YWvlK7 It will be connected via the RCP's USB cable, and will record as a stereo output (not multitrack). Good luck!
I went to the RODE Caster website and did exactly what you did, the only thing is nothing happened. There was no download, no companion app, no firmware. I don’t understand why I can’t get this so called firmware and so called companion app,
So I just got mine, and I was testing it out with the front headphone jack and 1 mic. All the readings and levels seem fine and the recording was great. But for the life of me I can't get audio out of the front 3.5mm jack. I haven't tried it via the 4 headphone jacks on the back yet, but it's odd to me that I can't get anything out of the front one. Any tips?
Just to save anyone the headache that I went through. As of August 2020 there is no longer a firmware update file that comes packaged with the companion app when you download the software. Don't go through the absolute frantic rage that I did trying to figure out where RODE installed the firmware update application because there isn't one. With the latest update it scans for updates through the companion app and just the companion app (According to RODE Customer service who I spoke with over the phone)
yes, sorry, we'll have to record an updated video for this - there is now ONE download app from RODE which contains the companion software and the firmware update together. thanks!
Hello, I have the same equipment, but everytime I turn it and off, it releases a loud sound throughout headphones and monitor outputs. Yours does the same?, because Rode support tells me it is normal. I would appreciate your kind response. Regards
@@kevincox2724 Always turn your monitors on last. When shutting down the system for the session, cut monitors off first. Remember - "Last on - First Off!"
Been recording a few episodes with the rodecaster pro on Logic Pro x. Do I really need a stereo mix track? Because when we plug in the phone to play TH-cam clips I would need to cut the commercial sound. But still shows up on the stereo mix.
Some audio players can’t easily play back the polywav. Once you record, you’ll need to drop these into a DAW in order to mix it RODE put out a new update today and I believe it adds an MP3 to the recording files. I haven’t checked yet
I just received my RODECaster Pro and I greatly appreciate how thorough this video is. You made this very easy and I appreciate it, thank you. I will be joining the ranks of podcasters very soon. Great video.
thanks so much! enjoy the RCP

So glad to hear that, thank you! Happy recording
Sorry about the auto-focus!
Also, I forgot to mention phantom power - on the "Level" adjustment for each channel, there is a toggle on the screen to turn phantom on/off for your mic, should you require it
Sometimes MANUAL Focus on a stationary-object is best. ;)
You aslo forgot the headphone Jack or monitor output. The jack is hidden under the front right.
I need help
Great walkthrough I just purchased one and could not find such a we’ll do w walkthrough as this!
Great tutoria set-up. Really appreciated. Received my RODECaster today and made my it so easy.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and knowledge!
Very grateful for your attention to detail on this set-up tutorial! Thank you so much!!

Otherwise, a very nice and comprehensive video.
Agreed. That hiss concerns me. Is that from the rode caster Pro? Thanks for the info!
it was recorded using the XY mic on a Zoom H6, placed about a foot in front of me. there is some room noise in the office but I couldn't record on the RCP since I was using it in the actual tutorial. sorry for the noise!

The best walk thru. Thanks.

I was gonna ask if this would all work but this video was SO through that you already answered the question. Thanks so much!
That sounds like an awesome project! Glad I could help!
will it still work if I have to run a 20ft usb cable as long as I record to the SD card. I need the long cable just to connect the PC.
Thanks! Great video! Very thorough.
can we use any kind of mic? or does it have to be a RODE mic?
It doesn’t have to be a rode mic. When I first got mines I used a AKG mic that I already had.
any regular XLR mic will work!
My SD card got jammed in the road Caster Pro any suggestions on how to get it out?
Great video!!! Have you figure out how to connect to a DSLR camera yet or would you recommend just sync in post?
Sync in post unless you’re live streaming
I've had luck running one of the headphone outs into a Rode Wireless GO transmitter and then the receiver in the camera with excellent results just to eliminate the post sync.

Great explanation video .... Be gentle with mr sliders :-) it will pay off in the long run :-) Love your faders.
Thanks 👍
if you're using this unit to record livestream for a videogame, will you hear the audio from the videogame back through your headphones?
you can, if you set it up properly. is your game running on the same PC that the RCP is plugged into?
How do I plug in a USB HyperX Microphone for recording using the Rode Podcaster, to record on to Garageband on my Mac?
Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial 🙏🏾
Question... What does the 'Ducking' setting on Channel 1 do? Don't remember if you mentioned it or not...
It is specifically for channel 1, to duck the rest of the channels - imagine you are the host of the show on channel 1 and want to make sure your voice cuts through above the rest. It's misleading, as I assumed it would be ducking for all mic inputs against the aux/BT channels, but alas

Great tutorial! - I tried the record to iphone though - it was very poor quality, can't figure out what I did wrong?
How did you set up the iPhone into the RCP?
question: do you think i'd need cloud lifters for SM7B's with this thing?
definitely recommended for the 7B, yes!
How do I activate the low music feature when speaking? start button side shin
do you mean ducking? I don't think RCP V1 has a ducking feature

Yes you can transfer them over USB, but I find it's about 4x faster to just insert the SD card instead

Thank you.
I haven't used that Tascam unit before, but I can certainly say that the RCP is the best stand-alone podcast recorder that we've tested out. Good luck!
Hi I have this and am trying to record gameplay while using the rodecaster for recording my voice. Do you have a video on how I would go about setting it up to a desktop pc thank you
Just plug it in USB and route your computer’s audio output into the RODEcaster
@@thepodcastmasters I used a usb-c wire. I got everything to work except now I cannot hear gameplay audio
Very handy! Subbed
thank you!
This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you so much. Do you find it way easier to just record to the SD card and then post edit in Logic? The only way I've done it is to record directly into Logic but it seems like it would be a lot easier to just record to an SD card and import it in. Thoughts?
Yes, that's our preferred method - but usually because we record on-site and it's easier to just use the RCP self-contained
Thanks for the info. I have a pr40 connected to channel 1 and still have a tinny sound with Aural Exciter turned off. Do you know how else to address this, please?
If you are running the newest firmware you also have options for a de-esser - I would play with that. If it's still giving you trouble, the PR40 may not be a good fit your voice. Try an SM7B. Also, you may need a preamp for your mic - try the Cloudlifter
@@thepodcastmasters thanks for the reply... I realized after typing this comment that I had the gain a bit too high..smh :)
I have a problem with my ride caster, I tried to download the rodecaster software, my rodecaster is shutting down , it doesn’t work right now, what can I do ?
I haven't experienced that issue, I would contact RODE! Good luck
I just unboxed my rodecaster pro. I have 2 questions. Can I connect my iphone via a trrs to lighning connector? do you know where I can find that cable?
Also, I've seen others take the included usb-c to Usb cable and add a Lightning to USB Camera connector to connect to an iphone.
Can I just buy from Apple their USB-c to lightning cable and eliminate the need for a Camera connector?
( I want to use my iphone to make a backup copy of the recording)
Randy, great idea, I use that same setup to run a backup all the time, using Voice Memos on the iPhone.
The exact cable you want is this one: amzn.to/2YWvlK7
It will be connected via the RCP's USB cable, and will record as a stereo output (not multitrack). Good luck!
I went to the RODE Caster website and did exactly what you did, the only thing is nothing happened. There was no download, no companion app, no firmware. I don’t understand why I can’t get this so called firmware and so called companion app,
double check with RODE support, they recently changed the way the software works and put everything in one RODE app
So I just got mine, and I was testing it out with the front headphone jack and 1 mic. All the readings and levels seem fine and the recording was great. But for the life of me I can't get audio out of the front 3.5mm jack. I haven't tried it via the 4 headphone jacks on the back yet, but it's odd to me that I can't get anything out of the front one. Any tips?
That front headphone jack is controlled by the Headphone 1 volume knob :)
Why do your meters start jumping when you turn up faders 1-4, even though there is nothing being fed into those lines? Does this mean bad pre's??
I believe I was playing the music on the built-in sound bank just to show that the meters were active
I'm having trouble getting my sound effects to go out on A live stream
make sure the channel isn't muted and also that your other tracks aren't accidentally "soloed" (the green ear button on each track)
Is there a way I can record into GarageBand as one stereos mix instead of recording each channel separately
Yes, but you wouldn't want to do that, as it would remove your ability to edit properly in post
Just to save anyone the headache that I went through. As of August 2020 there is no longer a firmware update file that comes packaged with the companion app when you download the software. Don't go through the absolute frantic rage that I did trying to figure out where RODE installed the firmware update application because there isn't one. With the latest update it scans for updates through the companion app and just the companion app (According to RODE Customer service who I spoke with over the phone)
yes, sorry, we'll have to record an updated video for this - there is now ONE download app from RODE which contains the companion software and the firmware update together. thanks!
@@thepodcastmasters No problem! Thanks for making the educational video and helping people out!
listened all of it.. great..
Awesome!
Hello, I have the same equipment, but everytime I turn it and off, it releases a loud sound throughout headphones and monitor outputs. Yours does the same?, because Rode support tells me it is normal. I would appreciate your kind response. Regards
Do you mean mic feedback? If you have the mic and headphones to close to one another you’ll get feedback. That’s probably what the noise is
I get this when I turn my unit on. It's a short loud "pop" right when the unit powers up.
@@kevincox2724 Always turn your monitors on last. When shutting down the system for the session, cut monitors off first. Remember - "Last on - First Off!"
Thanks!
What is OBS?
Thanks for the tutorial.
No worries!
Been recording a few episodes with the rodecaster pro on Logic Pro x. Do I really need a stereo mix track? Because when we plug in the phone to play TH-cam clips I would need to cut the commercial sound. But still shows up on the stereo mix.
the stereo mix gives you everything, the multitrack mix gives you separated tracks (pre-fader). you can remove that in post if you record multitrack
Is there an option to directly record the sound to my iPhone ?
Yes, I mention running a backup recording into my iPad. You can do the same with iPhone instead
I have a DELL PC and it says it can't read the WAV. I can't hear my recordings. What am I doing wrong? Need help.
Some audio players can’t easily play back the polywav. Once you record, you’ll need to drop these into a DAW in order to mix it
RODE put out a new update today and I believe it adds an MP3 to the recording files. I haven’t checked yet
@@thepodcastmasters ok thanks. Please let me know.
thank you very usefull
Glad it was helpful!
How do we add vocal effects/reverb?
You need to update your firmware to the newest version to get access to the channel FX
Great job here. Bummer they’re on backorder.
