I Replaced My Elgato Stream Setup with a Rodecaster Duo and I Love It!

- I've been (and still am) a fan of Elgato's products but, my desk is getting cluttered, so I decided to downsize my streaming/recording gear by purchasing the Rodecaster Duo. I was able to remove 3 key pieces of gear with this one, spectacular piece of hardware!

Really nice POV on the duo thanks!
Thank you for the kind words!! I've learned a good bit since this video and will have some new content up expanding on my learning so far. I absolutely love this thing
Or hear me out .... Get a stream deck+ and a Wave XLR and good to go. Sure the EQ and everything is done through software but the stream deck+ has 8 pages of macros and control and supports VST through Wavelink so you can EQ any Mic. The Wave XLR provides plenty of gain to power the ShureSM7B and Ive compared the size of the Rodecaster Duo and getting the Elgato Devices is a smaller footprint. I think if I had the option I would get a Rodecaster Duo and still use the Stream Deck+ to control all of my audio.
Rode confirmed they’re working on more virtual channels, once this is released, it’ll be a great device
This is what I’m waiting on for sure
@@TheonlyshaunDefinitely. One can use Rodes Unify but then you’re using software to control everything, but it’s better then Elgatos Wave Link
this is my problem, I cant wait any longer so I bought the bridge cast by roland, abosoluty love the thing
rode have said that since release of the rodeprocaster 2. And have made ZERO progress
Your audio progression has been nearly identical (I landed on the Earthworks Icon Pro over the Shure SM7B). I've had my Duo for a couple weeks now and it's been great. Fun to learn and streamlined my setup. Goodbye Wave XLR. Thanks for your content. It's been enjoyable watching your audio journey.
Hey thank yoh! The icon pro has been on my radar but at this point any mic is just a vanity buy lol (I don't have a problem) all I need now is for rode to 100% integrate unify and that's a wrap
I got my RODE CASTER DUO for my bday and I love it, the mic I use with it is My sm7b…….it’s clean.
Sm7b sounds heavenly with this audio interface 👌 especially with those rode presets that are tastefully done .
Looking at an upgrade/replacement to my GoXLR Mini. I definitely want to wait for the update which brings virtual audio channels. Another potential device I’m considering is the Roland Bridge Cast, but this won’t replace my stream deck
Great video, do you have any tutorial of setting up the smb7 with rodecaster duo?? Thx…
I love my Rodecaster duo, but I also kept my my vanilla stream deck. Only because I would like my stream deck to focus on control and my Rodecaster simply focus on audio/sfx.
I was thinking about doing the same thing, I have a Stream Deck + and I might get a Stream Deck MK.2 or XL to replace it. I rather use the RCD for audio alone as well as using it on a dual computer setup.
I have the Rodecaster Pro 2 and I love it
New Sub here. Good channel. OHHHH I need a workshop on OBS!!! I have the rodecaster as well.
I got a boss Gigcaster 8. Mainly for the guitar aspect but it can stream too.

Thank you!
I use the duo with Switcher Studio in the M1 iPad Air usb-c, I would love the midi to control 1, 2, 3, & 4 keys on a (virtual) keyboard as this would cycle the 4 cameras, now that would be cool
I had the Elgato stream deck for 1 day and got rid of it. That was two days ago. For my July 4 bday I picked up today the Rode caster duo = ZERO regrets. Night and day. A few technical things to sort out. Tip: Use ONLY A to A (from Rode Caster to computer.). Do NOT use USB A and USB C (or any type of converter.) And I LOVE the microphone as well. $800 package. And the boom beats yeti hands down. I hated that crap boom the yeti had. Never held the mic quite rite :)
I must be missing something. Are you using USB A to USB A for your rodecaster? Can you tell me more lol i'm mega curious. Is there a difference in performance that you've noticed ?
@@StreamGearTalk I was unaware my new computer has a usb C plug So thinking it only had USB ports I purchased a c adapter. I put the USB port in the back of my new computer, and the USB C adapter into rode.
This is because I only had USB to USB chord. Spent the next 2 hours figuring out that don't work 😩😩.
Looked one more time to make absolutely sure my brand new computer didn't have a C port. It did 😅😅. So make sure it's USB C to USB C chord.
Ask me how stupid I felt at 1:00 a.m. 🙄🙄😩😩😅
@consumerdebtchitchat hehehe it happens. In case it helps, USB 2 CNA work with USB c (at the rode USB 2 port) to USB c to a adapter on the PC.
Is that box thing necessary for podcasts? (from the thumbnail of the video)
Great Video!!! So I have an older Macbook pro (2015) with 2 USB-A ports. I have 2 cameras. A canon 90D DSLR as my main, and a logitech c920 as my overhead (using Camlink 4k). These work great with ECAMM thanks to your videos. My problem lies with the Rodecaster Pro II that I'll be adding to my studio. Given that I only have 2 USB-A ports that I'm already using for my two camera inputs, I'll be forced to eliminate the overhead USB cam to make room for the Rodecaster Pro USB audio input. I'm aware that I could run audio from the Rodecaster (monitor out) 1/4 inch to 3.5mm into my Cannon, and then into the Mac via HDMI to Camlink/USB-A. This would leave me with the second USB-A port availible, however everything I've seen suggests that running audio out of the Rodecaster and into a camera mic input isn't the best way to go. This is why I'm considering going with an ATEM Mini Pro I could combine both cameras (TAO converter tor USB cam) into the ATEM mini and into my Mac and then the Rodecaser into the second USB-A port via USB-C/USB-A adapter. I was just hoping you could shed some light on what equipment is available (hubs,docs) that would allow me to use muliple cameras (4 max) with the Rodecaster Pro II and Ecamm. I'm not ready to upgrade my Mac yet so making my Mac Ports limitations (2 USB-A, 2 thunderbolt-2, 1 HDMI) work has been difficult to get info on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have the Pro Version of Ecamm Live and i love it. -Blessings
My music audio doesn’t hit on my speakers like my focusrite does. Any clue why?? I’m using quarter inch cable not sure if that matters
I have no hate for Elgato, I use their Stream Deck for both streaming and as a work peripheral and absolutely love the thing. The Wave XLR though has been less than stellar.
I understand they were going for simplicity with the product but they have been having a series of really bad technical updates as of late which have made using the thing almost impossible for me. VSTs either stop working, glitch out or require a technical update to be usable again. It really screws up my entire process when I just want to hop on and record something.
I'd prefer having more hardware with fewer software glitches than more software with a higher chance of glitches.
Honestly, your solution with the duo looks fantastic and I'm likely making this as my next purchase. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the benefits.
You can connect an mirrorless camera like Canon M50 and record audio with cable?
Holy crap I never thought to try that! I'll give it a shot and let you know
can you tell me how to set it up so it sounds good in game? People in Call of duty say it sounds really bad even though it sounds good to me.
But can you change stream audio, specific app volume (such as Discord) only for the stream/viewers and not yourself?
Mic settings are a bit quiet for me. May want to boost the audio by a few dB
Thanks for letting me know, I've gotten similar feedback since the posting if this video and (hopefully) have since addressed it :)
Thanks
Could I run the DT990 250ohms through the duo?
If they really want this to be that all-in-one device, it needs optical audio in/toslink for consoles, and more virtual devices just like the goxlr. Without that it can’t truly replace the goxlr as a streamer mixer. I haven’t heard someone’s rodecaster setup give any significant mic quality benefit over the GoXLR.
If this ever drops to 400 bucks there's a good chance I am going to pick this up, would be upgrading from a Wave XLR.
Can I record phone calls while playing music in the background during the call? 😎👍...I just wanna record phone calls with family and friends, not into streaming or hooking this up to pc..wish I can find more videos just explaining phone call recording 😎...but great video I watched it a few times already.
Just use your sandisk or Samsung EVO PLUS 100 MB/S sd card and press record. You can play it back when you want without streaming.
One thing I do not like is just 3 band EQ for mic, which is not acceptable for device that costs this much.
How you solve the background noises like fans noises
Turn the GAIN down until you don’t hear the noise anymore.
Its shure sm7b?
Stream deck pedal, Stream deck XL, Stream Deck+, Tascam Mixcast 4.
Can I use my Wave 3 mic with the Rodecaster Duo?
I believe they recently added the ability to use USB mics with the rodecaster devices
I just picked up a rodecaster duo on sale recently for 500 AUD price includes GST (sale tax) thats about 321 USD I replaced my goxlr
That’s a good deal!
@@Theonlyshaun yep thats why I bought it or else I wouldn't have bothered lol.
Two things that I don't like about Rode is that Unify is really rudimentary and quite unreliable (at least for me). And that the headphone outputs in Rode interfaces are pretty bad.
*for all intents and purposes
2 pieces
Your audio is very low here
Do you have a discord or twitter or anything . I need to send you some messages to help get mine set up . My routing is all jacked up..

@@StreamGearTalk won’t let me message you since I’m not verified haha . I don’t have a twitter under this name tho . It’s under my sports channel
