NEW Rodecaster Pro First Impressions

I've got a brand new Rodecaster Pro 2, and I'm going to take it for a spin.
From setup, to sample recordings, I'll show you what it's like to use this new box versus the Rodecaster Pro 1, and hopefully help you make an informed decision if you're thinking about buying one of these things.

Love your videos Pat as well as your podcast.You taught me a lot and I am almost ready press record and go and see where it takes me. Looking forward to the journey.

[@hobbeskillah]

Your videos always help. I just ordered one of these!

[@SafarToMarwa]

Hey Pat Flynn thanks for the detailed explanation, really helps with my dilemma and decision making! Really enjoy your videos!

[@garyclement5527]

Great stuff. You Strat from the beginning and show how to set things up- wonderful. I enjoy this kind of video. Please keep up the good work.

[@gregc2823]

Awesome review on this Pat!!! as an aspiring podcaster this is such a simple set up !!!

[@GentlyBeing]

Love your "rode"pun at the beginning. Thanks for the in-depth look at that Rodecaster Pro 2!

[@rob.gerald]

Pretty good segment. An in-depth final thought of the Pros & Cons of both would have been icing on the cake.

[@normchristopherson5799]

Just placed an order for a Rodecaster. Thanks for your advice and helpful information.

[@NativeYoga]

Thank you Pat! I really enjoyed this

[@tahmcknightjr487]

Beautiful content, so informative. Thank you.

Aaaaaaaa!!!!! It’s here!!!!
It’s like Christmas, I need to work but I can’t stop watching 0___0

[@thedanielbudai]

Great review and a great device to have.

[@CraigDesmarais]

I just got it too! Loving it.

[@jacksonreazin6042]

Seems like a fairly even mix of features from NI Maschine and Akai APC40 mkii plus a Focusrite Clarett in one platform. Neat.

[@croxtoncrimefiles]

Thanks for the video. I am buying this RØDECaster and I wanted to make sure it was the right move. It definitely is.

[@Birgir_Birgisson]

You have the MOST FUN job in the world! Trying out, testing and paying with stuff - like the Rodecaster pro 2 in this case 💥

[@OgDj2024]

Excellent upgrade! But I’m still getting used to the first one because I just got it. Is it possible to record live instruments into the RODECaster Pro one with an XLR adapter?

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

Good vid man. I’ve never used an audio interface but I might have to pick this up as I use Ecamm Live & Zoom. I’ll finally be able to stop using Loopback

[@MichaelWilliams-lo3ix]

Thanks Pat

[@elmernavalescorre7250]

Much appreciation.

[@kq7579]

Silly question. I’ll be producing a podcast using the rodecaster pro, but NOT actually “on-air” talking into a mic. I’ll just behind the scenes. How do I monitor the line mix out of the roadcaster? The headphone outputs align with the mic inputs. But I won’t have a mic. Will the host use the headphone one I put on the back of the unit and I’ll use the headphone Jack on the front of the unit? And I’ll hear all line outputs?

[@sandstorm4026]

Pat! Please halllp!...
Can i use a XLR cable to connect my samson q2u to the rode caster pro 2?

[@terrymilkie160]

Does this have CRM, so control room monitors cut when mic turned on?

[@mullholand]

How would you compare this to Zoom's podcast?

[@weissomar]

Great content. I have a guy willing to sell me the original rodecaster for $125. Should I do it or buy the new one?

[@jpminnich8227]

thank yoy

[@MaxMuccini]

Uhh so beautiful the Rcp II ! I have a positive envy to you! But the best boom arm….ok rode psa1+ is one of the best,but the very best is yellotec mika a german company 10 steps forward psa1+. Best regards

[@YouAndImpact]

Great 👍

[@ryanlindner8665]

"updates like a Tesla" yes we all know the feeling of owning a Tesla. LOL.... but great vid thanks.

[@jeremyroenick2202]

It’s Røde, not Road

[@TheDistrictOfMisfitsShow]

1st let me say I LOVE the Rodecaster pro But I think I am the only person who hated the pro 2, I had so many issues with mine from the firmware downloads, my monitors would cut in and out. I had to reset the firmware so the monitors worked. I had terrible sound when recorded. I had both Rodecasters next to each other on the same sound set-up, and the older one was much better. I have been producing podcasts for 8 years now and I was so stoked to get the pro 2 but soooo disappointed in it. I sent it back to Sweetwater for 2 Zoom mixers. the podTrak mixer and the L8. Pretty much for the same price. Not going to lie the main thing i hated was that there was not a producer headphone plug-in like the pro. Since i produce and usually have 4 podcasters on set. 5 of us with 4 headphone plug-ins. For the love of god will someone make a video saying this thing sucks balls..

[@AllAutomotive1410]

Now I'm trying to justify the upgrade to an already awesome product. Anyone need a Rode Caster Pro for a good price? LOL

Rodes...? #ELB 🕰🚙💨
