Great video. Every output signal I try going out of the Rodecaster into the Sony ZV1 has interference, even when when the audio input is set to 1 in the camera. Even bought all Rode cables and tried various other brands.
I wish there was a simple solution for this, or that there wouldn't be any interference at all. If it means the cost can be kept low for the camera I would say then syncing in post is the way to go for most...just wish it worked how it is supposed to.
Ok, I read somewhere that rather than setting the ZV-1 to ‘1’ set it to ‘3’… it’s counterintuitive but apparently seems to solve the distortion issue that some people have with mics with a high gain that need turning way down
This was really really good, especially the ending. You thought of every question the audience would have with regards to the overall difference of the sounds.
Thank you so very much! Extremely helpful for me, as a novice using my FX30's - I do have quite a bit of the proper equipment, and for this as a starting option vs. post edit with sound is fantastic.
In Japan, we call it 1/4 Inch jack also, "phone plug". We distigquish Phone "Plug" as male and "Jack" as female and to explain why it's called "1/4 jack" is that it's a converter to 3.5mm plug.
perfect .. have the mixcast 4 but its the same principal excellent video and in spain and the uk we call the plugs mini jack ...3,5 milli jack .....and standard single jack or 6,3 milli jack plug hope that helps .. your videos are superb thank you so much ...-.. mark
I'm a sound engineer in the uk and we call it a quarter inch (or TRS if it has the extra ring on the shaft) and also call the small one 3.5mm. But in the uk we have always used both imperial and metric depending on which makes more sense for the thing you're applying it to. We've never truly had one system here since before the 60's and when you buy a product like a piece of furniture you might receive measurements in inches or cm's/mm's so this doesn't feel weird to us to have these two plugs called by different measurements.
Hi there, so if i purchased X2 TRS cables and plugged into the L&R output of the rodecaster, what adapter would i need to buy in order to connect these two cables into the camera 3.55mm input
Very helpful! Appreciate you saving us so much time by testing each of these setups. Just got my RodeCaster Pro delivered last night and setting it all up. Will be going with the cleanest setup and just using my one of the headphone jacks (2, 3, or 4) into my camera and syncing audio in post. Sounds like the best audio is going to be directly from the SD card internal to the RodeCaster Pro. Now I’ve gotta check out your other video to see if I need to purchase another MIC 🎤 or if my existing overhead Rode NT mic is going to get the job done for best quality. Thanks again!! 👍👍👍
I have spent over 7 hours trying to connect Rodecaster to Atem Mini. I bought proper cable and tried connect with speakers out. I was wondering and swearing why I get a lot of noice and shity signal. Now I know thanks to you. RTFM silly boy, I will never learn
This is how a connected mine and the audio quality is flawlessly smooth. I simply connected the audio feed from the finished quarter inch audio from the front of the rodecaster and sent it through an attenuator into the camera and I still record at the standard rec. volume and the final output comes out perfect.
but be very careful if your rodecaster is connected to a macbook with USB, a nightmare about noises and interferences too. the guys at rodecaster also advise to use the output in the back using the separate double quarter inch (6.3mm, yes we call it so in Europe and Asia) to jack->camera, apparently it provides a better signal 😉
You would not want to do that . You need a different sound board regular soundboard or something like zoom livetrak l8 is so much better for life in general . Rode has created a great device but it’s only and is only good for what it was created for
Thank you Javier. This was very informative and helpful. I’m working on getting my video podcast up and going. I’ve purchased the rodecaster pro 2, rode mic, and a canon m50 mark 2. Hopefully I can follow one of these examples and not have to sync audio to my video. Any thoughts on that?
Hey Javier, if you're only capturing your vocal/voice input from the Rodecaster then Option #3 is somewhat superfluous since you're really only going for a mono signal in the first place. No need to be patching from the L/R main outputs of the Rodecaster...just more cables, likely more noise, and the audio won't be any better (which you concluded 🙂) One thing that did occur to me, however, is that the Rodecaster now becomes a "mix" that can sum everything plugged into the Rodecaster directly to the camera. (Four microphones and your Iphone playing a music bed, for example). I wouldn't want to do all that live because there are too many variables to control, but it certainly would work. (I have the Rodecaster Pro which is how I stumbled on this video) Thanks for this solution!
So I have a Rodecaster Pro. Just got it. I'm really new to audio. I have two mics hooked up to the roadcaster pro and that audio goes to the SD card. I also have 3 cameras hooked up to another board to control angles. The audio is separate. I'm trying to tie it all together to do a live stream. So how do i push the audio from the roadcaster pro into the computer?
I've tried the wireless go2 but maybe i'm not setting it up right.... can you explain how? as in is the RX or the TX going to be connected to the rodecaster pro? I'd greatly appreciate it!!!
Seriously, thanks!!!!! I've been struggling with that noise for so long. Started to suspect that my Rødecaster had a defect. That's a huge discovery for me. You're a life saver man :)
So how do I set it up for a video podcast? How would I sync video and audio? Do I need the wireless microphones and the Rode pod mic for example? It would not be a live podcast so we will edit it. But how do I go about recording audio and video through this rode? Thanks loved the video!!!!! :)
Great video, but I am now confused. The solution with the Zoom H6 does sound good as well. That makes it hard to decide. The rodecaster creates the typical podcast sound, but I was wondering, if there is a point when people are fed up and prefer a more natural sound. The H6 has also the line in in addition to the xlr. But, on the other hand, it has less functionalities. Anyone an opinion on this?
Problem... when connecting the cable from the Rodecaster into the camera, have loud noise on the line. All grounds are connected - cables alone don't produce the hum, once the other end of the cable is connected to any device, the hum is heard. Going into Canon R6. It's like there is a ground loop - anytime the ground is connected the hum is there.
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
Hi there, remember the headphone outputs on Rode Casterpro has noise but it won't be on recording on RCP. YOu have to take a cable from left and right channels to a 3.5mm jack and connect it to your camera. never use any of the 5 headphone jacks as professional output those are only for monitoring porpuses. thanks
I’m from Thailand and we just call the 3.5mm 3.5mm, or AUX port, and 1/4” 1/4”. Most things are in metrics here but some like clothes sizes can be inches. There are also some odd ones that I can’t remember off the top of my head but yeah… weird system everywhere.
I can’t believer the amount of answers you’ve offered up with this video. My good friend you are doing the damn thing. So clear, your message is absolutely easy to process. If you don’t have a course you should offer one. This is absolutely course worthy. Thanks again. This sound thing is so necessary along with cameras and lights. Good stuff 👍🏽👍🏽👑
@@JavierMercedes I’m setting up the Sony A6400 up with new Tamron 17-28mm lens, I’m having some focus blurring whenever I move a little.

@@MasterBoxingLLC ua-cam.com/video/NVP2D91TZgY/v-deo.html this video covers all the auto focus settings available for sony camera, some are not on the a6400, I would setup a zone where your head is most of the time, and keep your head in that zone.

Thanks Jeff I really appreciate it!
I usually say, Jack, and mini jack 🤣🙈
Hello Javier: Can you explain me again which are the benefits/advantages to use the Rode Wireless Go with the Rodecaster Pro ? Thanks!!
Get yourself a -45db attenuator cable. I use one to go from my Tascam LINE OUT into a camera MIC IN. Your sound quality will improve.
Great content. I spent a lot of time scanning through other videos before finding your channel.
In Japan, we call it 1/4 Inch jack also, "phone plug".
We distigquish Phone "Plug" as male and "Jack" as female and to explain why it's called "1/4 jack" is that it's a converter to 3.5mm plug.
The bigger audio jack is called 6.3mm (the same unit of measurement as the 3.5mm jack).

@javiermercedes Can we run the single audio feed from rodecaster into multiple cameras for a multi-camera podcast setup? How can that be setup?
Great video! 👍🏾
Also, I have a question maybe you can help me out with. What is the exact process to getting the RODECaster Pro’s Companion App??

Javier, excellent video! Curiously, are you using a "Line-to-Mic Attenuator Cable" coming from the line out on the H6 to the camera's 3.5mm in?
Sir you are a complete package... Indeed you are an inspiration for youngsters. I must say that you are an institution in yourself.
I use a TS cable to go from stereo outputs into an XLR on a camcorder and I don't get noise.
how is that possible??
@@danila_master979 exactly...like how???
How ????
Btw U solved my issue with the hiss in my studio monitors, I couldn’t get rid of it. Now I know this is the wrong cables I use.
This is how a connected mine and the audio quality is flawlessly smooth. I simply connected the audio feed from the finished quarter inch audio from the front of the rodecaster and sent it through an attenuator into the camera and I still record at the standard rec. volume and the final output comes out perfect.
What camera do you suggest works best connected with the rodecaster pro 2. Please help.
What if in the scenario there is a XRL connection in the camera and I’ll get a balanced xrl cable to send it to the camera? What do you think?
1:29
Wow this kinda has to be explained more and have more emphasis on this..
The setup going directly into the rodecaster pro. Where is the camera connected at?
cool video! btw the way the plosives are killing me...
I can hear a buzz, is this because the connection is directly into the camera?
I have the same camera and a 302 sound device that I was going to send sound from the rode caster pro 2
can i send audio signal to my samsung note 9 camera or any other adroid app for a phone camera video recording? pls help me
In Romania we(i) call'em jack and big jack
Inches to millimeters... Your right !! 😆
but be very careful if your rodecaster is connected to a macbook with USB, a nightmare about noises and interferences too. the guys at rodecaster also advise to use the output in the back using the separate double quarter inch (6.3mm, yes we call it so in Europe and Asia) to jack->camera, apparently it provides a better signal 😉
SO many answers, thank you Wayan! glad I know now, thanks for taking the time to write them.
But what it you’re using the RODECaster pro directly connected to MBP via USB to record into Adobe Audition?
We just call it a quarter inch jack 😂🤷♂️
Recently I heard Jack and Mini Jack....
Thanks for the lesson, much appreciated! God Bless!
My pleasure! hope it helped Stephen!
Super useful! Thank you :)
in London we just call it bug jack or small jack lol
In Poland we call it: Big Jack and Small Jack :)
What the cam link for ?
You would not want to do that . You need a different sound board regular soundboard or something like zoom livetrak l8 is so much better for life in general . Rode has created a great device but it’s only and is only good for what it was created for
Your right, I eventually bought an audio splitter
Abundance of cables! 😂 Great video as usual!

In Sweden, musicians specifically say, TELE and mini-TELE. Makes sense to me =)
Nice Job super helpful. I had put my Rodecaster away and just pulled it back out.
Great video. Can I go from the USB-C on the Rodecaster Pro to the HDMI output on my camera?

All my podcast has to work with right now is an iPhone with the Rodecaster, do you think this would basically work the same way?
I call the 1/4 the big size and the 3.5mm the small size!

hehehe, just a good ol' stack of left over external hard drive boxes and duck tape, yes you can even use a duck tape roll to prop up a rodecaster 😂
