Once audio gets compressed by UA-cam it will sound somewhat similar without the use of high quality, over-the-ear headphones.

I should probably always bake that into the description because I've made so many videos since then. However, I strongly believe it was the Tascam Mixcast 4. Thanks for asking this question as I'll start noting the equipment used in videos going forward.

I definitely agree with you on both points. Most people I know don't even prefer to hear their own voice while recording. I've always wanted to do that because I've had too many mess ups in the past. In a future video I'm going to make some "wishful predictions" but they are simply items on my wish list to expand the RODE line. Thank you for the great comment.

USB 1 is for primary video output and multitrack audio. While USB 2 is for device control and for a secondary audio interface.

@@FreePodcastTools Thank you

No. The BTA-1 Bluetooth accessory is for wireless control and timecode on certain devices.

Thank you for taking the time to check out the video and comment. I always appreciate your comments and support.

​@@FreePodcastTools I appreciate your videos! I am actually kicking myself and feeling a little guilty. I had a Rode Caster Video in my B&H wish list since before they released it. Your rumor video might have been the fist time I learned of the device. I finally pulled the trigger on the thing. Then came over here to check out some of the features, then I noticed your affiliate link. Ugh, I feel bad being it was such a big ticket item. But for whatever pennies it's worth, the device came with only one cable so I picked one up through your link. I will probably pick more up later but I am on a spending hiatus for now. LOL! Speaking of those cables, it might be a future video idea. The Rode cables are nice having the colors for identify things and they seem pretty durable. The however don't seem to be the fastest for the price. No need to answer here but I thought it might make a good future video and you could throw in a few more budget friendly cables with . . . dare I say . . . affiliate links. Cheers.

Are both of those cameras software dependent? Any USB webcam will connect to the RODECaster video but there's no way to dig into the settings via the RODECaster Video. I don't have a connection at either company that I know of or else I'd see if they'd send me one to test.

OBSBOT says that any of their UVC compliant devices will work with the RODECaster Video but you don't get access to special (software enable) features. Elgato said the Facecam will work out of the box but again you won't have access to the features that are activated through their proprietary software. I hope that helps.

It's a strange oversight. I reached out to them directly and suggested that they include a physical mute button in future products. I'm not sure where this concept comes from but most content creators want to mute the inputs. The preamp and gain are fantastic! Some of the other decisions are a miss which is disappointing as the device is otherwise excellent! Thanks for the comment.

@@FreePodcastTools i am currently finishing my test video. It was going to be positive but it was easier to show what was wrong with it... Like the XLR to 1/4" also not being real normal 1/4" audio port but one line out... However wonderful and better audio than the Vocaster Two. I also show how to hack the audio for left and right 1/4" or 3.5mm connection... I am writing you from my other channel so I avoid any conflict of interest. I appreciate your thoughts and your comment back. The plus is the audio is lightly warm, it sounds better than most. The volume (Gain) gets LOUD, the software shows how much gain, the monitor out sound is great and headphone out is fairly good as well.

@@sparketech great insight! Thanks for sharing the 1/4" left and right hack concept. I'll have to look at that. With the exception of a few devices, I feel like every company gets 85-90% of the way there and fall flat in a few areas. That frustrates me as the issues I have with the unit seem clear and obvious to me. Thanks again.

@@FreePodcastTools thank you. I can see why companies leave obvious flaws. If they didn't why would anyone consider spending more on their higher end products? I personally think it is purposeful to give you a reason to spend on something else down the line... Oh look we fixed it and they will purposely leave an issue again. Businesses are often tied to their shareholders. If Presonus literally went all out they would get a huge profit gain but they would have trouble keeping that and could lose money after the hype dies. My theory is that they want to keep sales purposely at a study state to show growth so they can maintain at a certain rate. It makes sense from a business perspective, not self profit was but to keep shareholders happy

@@sparketech I almost suggested that but then I talked myself out of typing it. I was going to also compare it to other sectors or retail where they "almost" solve the issues and then another company solves different issues but not the issues company A solved. It's a logical conclusion IMO.

That's a great suggestion. I'll try to keep that in mind for future comparisons. Thanks for the comment.

Take the USB 2 from your RCP2 and input it to USB-C port 4 or 5 on the RODECaster Video. You'll get all your sounds from the RCP2 into the RODECaster Pro Video. I'm making a video on it very soon.

Thanks for the comment.

Thank you! I always appreciate your thoughts and messages on social media! More to come.

That's awesome! I'm very glad it's working well for you. Thank you for the great comment!

Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot that you took the time to comment such nice things! It motivates me to keep going. Thank you!

Thank you! Keep in mind that RODE now has a specific VESA mount for the RODECaster Pro 2, Duo, and RODECaster Video. amzn.to/3vCwHwh

Thanks for taking the time to check out the video. I'm enjoying this device!

I had another conversation with a friend of the channel and he asked me about the Duo's future if someone was doing a lot of video. Honestly, SO FAR, I can't think of a real reason to keep the Duo. You can add sounds to the scenes buttons so that's not an issue. You get multitrack still and I am in love with the audio quality on my videos (even though it should be the same thing as the Duo it seems like it sound even cleaner). I guess the only thing I can really think of as a detriment SO FAR is the lack of a physical mute feature. I haven't been able to figure out a workaround yet. In my limited time with the unit I would take it over pairing the ATEM ISO and the DUO. It has far exceeded my expectations. I'm still figuring out the audio frame delay setting. Otherwise my videos are record and drop in Davinci and go. No more importing audio separately and all that. It's an incredible device. Barring in major production quality issues, etc I think this thing is going to take off like a rocket ship and leave some other options in the dust.

@@FreePodcastTools I think I need to sit back and let the hype wear off before making any decisions. If I didn't have the Duo, the Video would be exactly what I needed. The Duo felt like over kill for me when I got it. I think I will sit back and see if anything interesting happens on Black Friday with the Rodecaster Video the ATEM Mini Pro ISO. And who knows, maybe ATEM will bump up their audio game between now and the end of the year.

@@portersblackboardI think BMD needs to release an update of the ATEM Mini at some point. Maybe (probably?) next year. It’s about time. But I think it’s safe to assume that not this year at this point. They usually reveal new products around big events. Stream Deck doesn’t work with Rode products and don’t expect that change at some point. Not a great collaboration background between brands. Mostly opposite. So, yeh, Watch videos and learn the limitations of this product, thinking out of hype how is going to help you to improve. I think it’s a great product but it depends on your needs. No one can help you with that better than yourself. Research is fun. :)

@@Guillemod I have to agree! Research is fun. I didn't really think of it that way, but I guess that is why I spent half of my day watching Rodecaster Video . . . videos on the day of release. Honestly, I do think that the Rodecaster Video is exactly what I want at this point. Or maybe I will do what I did when they came out with the Elgato Prompter. I considered getting one for a long time, but in the end I just reworked what I already had into an near identical rig. The only thing that is is missing is the software (which I admit is a key component). I guess that is all part of the fun of research. Putting it all together.

@@portersblackboard you are a smart, smart person. That is exactly the right attitude to have. Don't get caught up in the hype of "gotta get it now". I wish I had your restraint. :) I am going to make a video about little nitpicks I have about the device. Who knows, maybe one of those things is a deal breaker to someone out there. Thank you for taking the time to watch these videos and for all the great comments you post. I look forward to hearing about what you end up going with when the time comes.

exFAT.

From rodecaster video you can format the ssd

@@RobinChee excellent. Thanks for sharing that.

Well, sold after I save up for the $1,200 LOL.

@@portersblackboard I almost choked on the price but was preparing myself for it to be expensive. I thought it would be between $999-$1300. I was hoping for the lower price. LOL! 🤣

I am so stoked about that feature! I'll continue to test for issues or concerns.

I got some new information immediately following that video release and I took it down as the information would not have aged well. You can tune into my channel for lots of videos on the RODECaster Video starting today. I will have tons of content about the device.

@@FreePodcastTools I haven't checked out your new video yet, but I see the new video is there. And sorry for the cryptic comment, I worried that Rode made you pull down the video. I was really curious if they had the right to do something like that. But all I have to say, is Darn!! I don't need to buy new gear but I am sure if the price is right that I will be lining up to get one of them.

@@portersblackboard no worries. You weren't the only who thought that. RODE didn't do anything to my channel. Had I caught my mistake quicker fewer people would have seen it, so it's my fault. I do appreciate the concern though.

Hi. I honestly don't know if I'd use either for music applications. I'd consider the RODECaster Pro 2 or RODECaster Duo before each of these devices. Actually, I might suggest a handheld digital recorder like the Zoom H1 XLR or H6essential over the podcast type devices.

thanks for the comment!

I'm not a radio guy so I don't know exactly how it should work. I prefer Tascam's implementation over RODE's.

So glad you found value in this video. Thank you for the nice comment.

There were a few glaring errors that I immediately found out were incorrect so I pulled it down as it would not have aged well at all. I'm adding accurate videos about the device to the channel currently.

This one on Amazon says it fits the AT875R. amzn.to/3Bs3mqO

That's a really good question. Let me reach out to Maono and see if they'll respond to this. I'll write myself a note and comment back here if/when they get back to me. Thanks for the great question.

@@FreePodcastTools Np and Thank you soo much in advance!

@@tyroneTy2024 you are very welcome.

Angela from Maono sent this as a response: You can use both the PC and iOS cables simultaneously to hear audio from both devices through the interface's monitor output. However, please note that while you can monitor audio from both sources, the audio from these sources cannot be mixed into the recording. I hope that helps.

@@FreePodcastTools thank you soo much!
