You are the New King of podcast/video audio! Your audio and video quality, your timing and details and your delivery are amongst the Greatest that I have ever seen. Peroidt💯
Great overlook of an awesome product. Can’t wait to get my hands on one and try it out in my arcade streaming setup.
Man, you are doing *tremendous* work and I'm confident your channel is going to blow up soon. :)
Fantastic well executed walkthrough, and you always have some new ideas for the manufacturers, hope they'll appreciate it !
4:13 Roland Bridge Cast X -
Dual PCs:
If you use one PC for gaming and another for streaming and chatting, BRIDGE CAST X has you covered. The USB II port provides audio and video integration for a single-cable connection to your streaming computer. The USB I audio and HDMI ports support a variety of connection options for a second computer, including HDMI throughput to a dedicated video monitor.
This is the review I needed. I have this device and that info about the 4k 30 fps vs 24fps was super helpful as I also have a ZV E10... Thanks for this killer video! I just subbed.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for the video
Great and informative video. As a solo creator, the Rode Streamer X was what I needed; works just great with rode central. Now I have started to use Unify, I must say, just like you said, the Unify software although complex does push the device a long way away from the raw hardware. Thanks for the video.
Nice breakdown Mister Meister... yes the 24fps is knocking some very popular cameras, I also use the ZV-E10.
Great job Ty
Streamer X is one of my biggest mistake purchases. Never have I experienced so many software and hardware failures (connected to Apple Silicon). Especially on the video side. Streamer X is an alpha product. After 5 months with incredibly poor response from Røde support, I sent the product back. Back on Elgato Cam Link 4K and bought a Vocaster One.
@ThePodcasMeister Do you know if you can use a Cloud Lifter on your mic running on the Streamer X? Thanks!
You can (it works like a standard USB-audio interface in that regard), but you don‘t need to, as it has plenty of clean gain to drive any microphone.
Can I use Røde VideoMic Pro+ ?
No Live Call Facility. Was getting excited waiting for you to drop "they watched my mix minus video". But no, not even a usb c audio input in sight.
Great sincere review, thanks 😊
Thank you for the comment! Actually, you can set up live calls easily with both Røde Central and Unify: just set the Streamer X‘s audio setup to „Video Call“ in Røde Central and Streamer X as your audio input/output in the comms app of your choice and you‘re good to go, the mix-minus is applied.
Same thing in Unify, there you would set „Røde Unify Chat“ as the Audio Input/Output and you‘ll have mix-minus automatically.
Great Vid!
Greetings. I remember there were many videos about connecting an iPhone jack to record remote calls. The RC Pro2 does not do that. RC Duo has a jack input for connecting iPhone jack. What about streamer x? I see a headset jack. Can I plug my iPhone into this jack and record a remote podcast???? I would appreciate your experiment. Thanks in advance.
Your videos and reviews are the best pieces I’ve found on UA-cam for that kind of products. If i was rode I will send my products only to you. And clearly it’s not the best choice for single podcast at least the Rodecadter Duo is better or for the max the Pro II
Have you tried the mackie mainstream out yet?
Can I use a Rode USB mic (VideoMic NTG) with the Streamer X as with the Duo, and use DSP with it?
NVM - see that is not the case in your vid, so will stop trying to figure out how to make that work :-)
That's right . I am considering buying this product with some other products such as: Rode Caster Dou, DZL(XS), Yamaha ZG01, RODE Streamer X, TC-Helicon GO XLR, Roland Bridge Cast X, Rode Streamer X,Main stream Meckkie... I use it for 2 computers, live streaming, and playing games
If possible, please help me choose one of the products . Monitor 360hz 540hz 580hz playing game dou PC
Hi, it really depends on your needs:
I wouldn‘t vote for the GoXLR, as the others can manage 2 computers simultaneously out of the box. (The DLZ XS handles the second computers audio via NDI, bear that in mind)
The Bridgecast, the RC Duo and the DLZ XS are audio only, while the StreamerX and the Mackie Mainstream have video capabilities too. In that regard, the Mainstream seems a little more flexible, but its software (Mackie Matrix) isn‘t quite ready, still in beta and only for Windows as of now. So if you want an all-in-one audio/video solution that takes as little desk space as possible and has solid accompanion software right now, go with the Røde StreamerX.
19:30 basically they should've used two usb 3.1 ports instead of one 3.1 and one 2.0.
When I capture video into QuickTime using the Streamer X, I never get a 4K video file despite camera settings being 4K30 - only 1080. What is your secret?
Your review is so good that I have pressed like - unlike and like once again
I'm wondering if the headset input could be also used as line in?
I own both the RØDE StreamerX and the Lewitt CONNECT 6. As this video rightly points out, both of these devices offer Dual USB-C audio interfaces, which is VERY cool because it enables you to send your microphone output to two different comptuters. This is critical to me because I'm a remote worker and want to use my XLR mic with both my work and personal PCs. I can confirm that this is possible using both the StreamerX and the CONNECT 6.
That said, why do I own both the StreamerX and the CONNECT 6? What's more, why am I choosing to use the CONNECT 6 as my "daily driver" audio interface instead of the StreamerX?
HINT: It's not for any of the reasons mentioned in this video ;-).
I bought the StreamerX first because it gets so many things right - a physical mute button, HDMI video capture, pads - what's not to like? Notably, the CONNECT 6 doesn't offer any of these features. Nevertheless, despite the StreamerX's DSP features, it lacks one killer feature that the CONNECT 6 does have: auto setup. Moreover, auto setup works very well on the CONNECT 6.
On the CONNECT 6, auto setup will ask you to speak into the microphone for 10 seconds in order to properly adjust input gain and setup any dynamic processing. This is huge, and it's why I now own and use the CONNECT 6 while the StreamerX mostly sits on a shelf collecting dust (notably, I still like the StreamerX too much to sell it on eBay...because it is quite good...but it's lack of auto setup is a huge oversight).
I can configure a physical mute button on my Stream Deck, I already own a discrete USB HDMI capture device (Roland UVC-01), and I don't really need the pads thanks to my Stream Deck - meaning, I can pretty easily mitigate the CONNECT 6’s shortcomings.
On the other hand, the CONNECT 6's auto setup is a killer feature that can’t currently be replicated on the StreamerX. Notably, I also find the CONNECT 6’s software to be more intuitive than Rode’s UNIFY software…and that’s a quality of life factor that’s continuously in play.
If the StreamerX ever gets a firmware update enabling an auto setup feature comparable to the CONNECT 6's auto setup, then I think the StreamerX will be a nearly perfect audio interface for my purposes. However, until that time comes, the CONNECT 6 will continue to be my primary audio interface.
Bro you can play your switch ps5 and series x and consoles not just a dang camera
I love that you’re getting random gear now. Your reviews are the best on UA-cam and the editing work is great. And it seems like at least Rode has discovered this now 🎉
