The Rode Procaster Microphone is Fantastic!

- The Rode Procaster Dynamic Microphone has been my go-to microphone for the 500+ videos I've made in the past 10 years. From TH-cam videos to online courses, it produces broadcast-quality voiceovers that makes you sound professional. I made this video because many of you had asked me what mic I use because it sounds very professional. This video goes through my entire audio gear list. And this video isn't sponsored.
If you're looking to level up your audio quality, for your podcast, video tutorials, live streams, voiceovers, and more, then look no further.
For best experience hearing the Rode Procaster sound test, use your headphones. You will hear the difference between:
1. The built-in microphone from a Sony A7IV camera
2. Rode VideoMic GO II
3. Rode Procaster
*One thing I forgot to mention in the video is the mic windshield. You place it over the mic to reduce plosives and vocal wind. I can't recall which one I use but you can find one on Amazon or your local music store.

Thank you for this video Tjin. Your video and sound quality is amazing. 👌👌
Thank you Baris
Thanks Aurelius! I like these kinds of videos.
To all: Dont forget pop filter.
Understand using this particular setup from visual perspective, but as I concentrated on a quality of sound and not a content in studio headphones (Audio-technica M50) there was a strong and quite annoying pop sound (is it proper term in english???). I am using Rode mic too, but NT1 model (plus Steinberg interface). But I always use shockmount AND pop filter. Its looks like useless poseur flycather, but its works pretty well.
True is that I made mostly voicovers or only audio products, moreover this negative pop sound depends mostly on distance from mic, than used language and personal pronunciation, but for better and cleaner audio quality of a voice (This is a poin of this video, isn it?) I strongly recommend to use it.
And dont forget studio headphones (pretty amazing cost from 80 to 200 euros), otherwise you will never hear a defects in your production. And dont forget check your sound on smarphone speakers if the message (point) is understandable. Because not every listener/ viewer have 1000 euros headphones to explore the deepest corners of our audio genius :-D :-D :-D
Procaster has built in pop filter. And with hood as well it should be enough.
@@pipwot169 as someone with a procaster the built in popfilter may as well not be there, its pretty much useless after doing a/b testing with it vs without
i have i cut up a stereotypical foam filter plus some lighter filters and stuck them in the screw cap of the microphone, cut down on the pops and breath noise when i have to get close
I use it for radio news and it hardly gives me any problems. @@shadeshotTV
I've owned the Rode PODcaster MkII for about 6 yrs. I'm struggling with low input levels, having to boost it significantly in post, which invariably brings in other ambient sounds, making it a longer process than necessary. Like a fool, I opted for the USB version instead of the XLR version. Now realise (thanks to your video) I need to buy the Focusrite Scarlett Solo (plus leads, plus Cloudlifter or Dynamite DM1) to boost input volume... before I add a new Rode XLR PROcaster to the shopping basket, is there any way to make my existing USB mic work with the Focusrite Scarlett Solo - or a similar quality amp?
Super nice sharing dear brother 👌
what is the windscreen you are using ?
What cable I need for Rode Podcaster + Scarlet Solo? Is it XLR male to male?
Good video. I have the same set up but cannot seem to get that good a sound out of the mic. Any suggestions?
What does it sound like? How far are you away from the mic? The closer, the better but not lips touching the mic or plosives will be heard. Do you do any audio processing afterwards? I use Auphonic as you might have seen in the video.
What pop filter are you currently using? looks super minimal compared to the WS2 while still having a tight fit.
The same.. you already know the name of that?
I can’t recall the pop filter I’m using as it was bought quite along ago at the local music store. Sorry

I work in the marketing department for a real estate firm, and love to recommend your videos. Thank you for the great content! I switched over from another gmail to this one just to say this appropriately. Lol 🎉
Aurelius please, what’s the name of that pop filter, it looks too minimalism, I need it.
I can’t recall which one as I bought it years ago at a local music store.
Please do a report writing tools😎😎😍😍
Thanks for your suggestion.
Hey! I was wondering, Do I really NEED a cloud lifter if I want to use this mic? What do you think?
You do not need a cloud lifter if you’re okay adding gain post production. The only exception is if you’re planning on streaming then you would need one.
@@AureliusTjin Is it that quiet? Can’t I just increase my gain on my interface?
@@IdeaUnavailable. you could depending on your interface or mixer
@@AureliusTjin Okay thanks! Any recommendations I’m currently looking at the classic Scarlett solo 3rd gen, That would work right?
Did you have plastic surgeries?
All natural 😂
@@AureliusTjin wow, what do you use for skin care?)
Blue yeti sucks never buy it better to buy some other mics
I've never tried a Blue Yeti. Not sure how it is these days but they were the in mic back then.
@@AureliusTjin I feel regret it catches all the noises. I'm difficulties while recording videos
@@techlifejournal you might be able to change the pattern mode to “cardioid mode” so that it only picks up sound that’s directly on front of it. It seems like it might be in omnidirectional mode.
@@AureliusTjin yeah I have done that but still it picks up cpu fan noise. I tried obs noise cancelling but still same only krisp works but it is just 60mins per day free. Looking for other open-source alternatives. Hope I will find some. If you know some please do suggest me
Yes, the blue yeti is garbage
