Tom Buck, alone, will probably be accountable for a thousand unit sales of the Rodecaster II Pro. Rode, if you haven't already locked him up for promotional tours, please do so. This is edutainment at it's finest.
The ending!🤣 I enjoyed this video and the videos you and Peter created while he was visiting. I'm waiting for my "pre-order" of the RCP2 to arrive and watching all of your videos in the interim.
Wow - this is the product that just keeps on giving! Having a wireless monitor will be brilliant for what we do with our sports broadcasts. At the moment our camera operator sometimes isn't close enough to the commentators to hear what they are saying and therefore react to what they are saying with the camera (for instance film a player specifically that they are talking about) but with this function they can wear bluetooth headphones and monitor them all the time. Big question is do you know what radius it has? If it's around 10 metres that would be brilliant, 20m would be unbelievable and anything more than that would be out of this world. Have you tested the distance yet? Thanks as always.
Just to add that we use long cables to monitor at some stadia but often because of crowds cables cannot be run safely, hence the wireless option would be brilliant.
I've only used it in the same room, so about 3-4 meters. I'll be interested to test the distance with the official firmware later this week 👍 And I feel you about running cables- it's extremely tough and has a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong.
@@tombuck Just checked with google and it seems like 10 metres is achievable which should just about do the trick but it will be interesting to try it out for real when it arrives. Thanks again for your quick response
This has me wondering if I can pair my Bose 700N headphones to this devise. What a wonderful idea. I hope it works because I hate chords! That would be icing on the cake!
recently bought a RCP2 and had a GoXLR. great device so far. I have been missing some small features from the GoXLR though like the multiple virtual channels to split up audio for live stream instead of using 2 USB ports on a PC. Also the ease of use of the sample buttons with the record, playback and crop functionality was great on the GoXLR, I'm surprised Rode didn't do something similar.
@@tombuck i have seen that software, the only issue is that it doesn’t interface with the RCP2 like the GoXLR meaning i can’t control the software using the RCP2. Meaning when i stream, i cannot filter out the music channel for example from the VOD replay. I hope Rode do something/update the RCP2 to communicate with the Unity Software, THEN it will truly be THE device for streamers.
Had to come here to tell mr.Buck And his community about my First impressions about The rodecaster pro 2. Got my preorder on thursday And I live in Finland. Made a podcast episode with it yesterday And OH MY GOD HOW CLEAN IT SOUNDS. I had The og rodecaster ’cuz Tom told me to get one And this New version is sooooo much better. I thought it would be overkill for just podcasting but it’s worth to update. Keep those videos coming about this New version so I And the whole community can learn more. Cheers!
#2 just might be the reason I buy this. I’m having issues with the og rcp. I bought a uad twin x audio interface. I love the plug ins they make the sm7b mic sound amazing. I was trying to have it work with ecam and the rcp. Without having to buy loopback (which still couldn’t do what I wanted for some reason maybe my fault) wonder if there would be a delay if I tried hooking all this up together? thanks tom!
Imagine changing the physical fader to an anodized aluminum blue as well! Or a set of the 4 colors you have for the other cables. Less flexible, more fail proof?
I'm excited to play around with the possibilities of the RCP. I do hope that they will modify it so you don't have to stop recording just to edit the fader assignments, We do this with A&H boards all the time. Having this on the RCP will be awesome.
By any chance do you have two iPads and try to hook both of them up? In theory, it seems like it should work. I have the OG RCP and upgraded to the RCPII with hopes of being able to use both. I do music noodling and I'm hopeful I chose wisely. Thanks!
Can the Rodecaster accept multiple inputs over a single USB connection and then be assigned to individual faders? For example, from a computer over usb - game audio, discord, music, etc. all separated into their own tracks.
Basically it's just as I showed here where you can get 3 inputs/outputs for the time being. I'm very curious if that'll change with future updates though, since more routing is a highly requested feature.
@@tombuck If Rode added 3 or 4 virtual audio channels per USB port, every streamer would be lining up to get one. I'd like to know if this is a possibility with a firmware update or not possible due to hardware limitations.
Only use 5c18 or sc19 to connect to the computer? Other U5B C cannot be connected to rode centered 2.0？How can I restore my settings without connecting to my computer?
Those are the USB cables you'd want to use when connecting an iOS device. For regular computer connectivity, you can use the included USB cable, or pretty much any other one (I've gotten away with using lots of cheap cables with the RCP). You can also reset and update from the RCP directly without connecting it to anything.
Great overview of some very cool features, Tom! Just out of curiosity (and forgive the noob question) - with the Bluetooth, I'm guessing I could pair my Android phone, and then use my SM7B and Sony headphones as my audio input and output for Twitter Spaces? Getting the RCP2 in a week, can't wait!
First tests of the RodeCaster Pro 2... I'm a radio DJ working in voice track for radio stations 50% of time with RCS Zetta 2 GO... I'm not sure I'm going to make it a working tool. First things: the French translation is worthy of a Wish product... But let's move on to translation. I tested the micro process part impossible to obtain a dense radio sound as can be obtained with a Symetrix 528e, an M1 or a dbx286 ... More embarrassing or more serious... To work in radio production (voice track for my case and under WIndows, my Macintoshians may have qq something more satisfying). If we use the ASIO drivers, we have 0 gain control between the console output and the interface, normal everything is integrated... yes except that peaks at -12dB may be the norm in the recording studio, in Broadcast where we have more levels with peaks close to 0 dBFS (to stick to the music production that is in these standards)... In Sound Forge too weak to be delivered without post prod, in Reaper (a multitrack) the correction of gain after recording gave me systematically saturation, and that I could not understand why ... Related to how the integrated interface handles levels? One more thing in ASIO the only sampling frequency is the 48kHz, the 44.1 which remains a standard, we forget, the 96kHz which is the new PRO standard we forget also... Finally the ASIO driver seemed to me hyper unstable ceasing to accept to record without reason at times ... I have been working for years in ASIO with Focusrite which is renowned for its drivers not always well cared for and I do not know this instability. This closes the trial for local registration... let's switch to Zetta to do remote voice... To interface with Zetta it is necessary on the other hand to stick with the Windows standard (Zetta uses the default registration interface of the PC) and manage with the "recording level" in the control panel, again up to -12dBFS it works between -12 and 0 it saturates very quickly. The micro stage having just a compressor and not limit to put in the stride, it is either too weak or saturated in my tests. I was planning to use the "chat" output but it is in a quality type phone (restricted bandwidth) not bad for phone on Skype (and again) but not exploitable in Broadcast (I planned to use it as an N-1 for Zetta)... So remains the Secondary output (2nd USB interface to put in N-1) but again impossible to manage the level satisfactorily. I also transferred the beds of a radio to one of the customizable pads. These beds were very qualitative MP3s, it works but... It looks like it starts playing by emptying a remnant of buffer, so systematically reading a remnant of sound before playing the new jingle, and the jingle at the top left can not be reread after reading regardless of the config, and it is well in replay like the others... I finish writing this post, I will go and store it in its box, before making further tests or repacking it for return. My first impression is not excellent... I am used to working with a focusrite interface and a digital process from Symetrix. I notice that the input of the Focusrite has a super tolerance to saturation, I work permanently at the limit of 0dBFS without saturating.
Great job. Good stuff. I've tried to keep my mouth shut, but I just can't anymore. This is not to be mean, but to help: I think your channel actually might benefit from less dad jokes/ word play. Not saying I'm correct. Maybe you should put up a poll and check what your audience think. I understand you think it's fun and that I might motivate you, so if you have to do it, it's OK! Whatever... Again... Enjoying your content alot!
I had used my rodecaster I for years, now I've just unpack my rodecaster pro 2 ... but can't see anywhere the mix minus on the usb 1... seems like only usb channel 2 make mix minus is this possible somehow? other strange thing if I connect directly by usb c to the pc won't see the first interface but only the second one... Only thing I've done is install the update when unpacked...
I'm not enough of a gamer to know for sure. I feel like this is possible, but I connected it to a USB port on my Xbox Series S and nothing happened. But I'm an absolute beginner at that kind of thing.
That's a good question! The Rode NT-USB Mini is awesome if you're able to position it close to your mouth. Beyond that, in the sub $100 range there are some really decent mics from Samson and Fifine. They won't totally blow you away or anything, but they're great for the price and perfect for general use.
Also, I'm still trying to figure out what replaced the master headphone output that was on the front of the first Rødecaster. Is it just defaulted to the first headphone jack now or what?
Basically yes, it's just #1 on the back. I'm not 100% sure why they removed the front one, but I do know it caused a lot of confusion since many people didn't understand it was the same control as the rear #1 as well. Maybe it was just to keep things simple? I used the front jack every day, but honestly have been totally fine without it so far.
Great video - thanks! How does the bluetooth feature actually work? Is it possible to use it "both ways" the same time - e.g. play music from an ipad AND send signal to an bluetooth speaker? What do you think about using the RCP II for an event setting - sending the audio signal via bluetooth e.g. to a LG Maui 5 speaker?
It should work both ways otherwise it wouldn't be very beneficial. If you take a look @7:47 you can see his phone is already paired to the RCP prior to connecting the speaker. Paired input devices would be assigned to a channel for volume control via a fader (physical or virtual). Output volume for a BT speaker appears to be controlled by the master knob.
Currently the beta firmware only allows me to connect one at a time. Not sure if that'll change in the future, but it definitely makes sense to use a phone and speaker simultaneously.
@@tombuck Wow, I stand corrected. I truly hope Rode enables simultaneous usage in a firmware update very soon. Granted, just having the addition of BT output to a speaker is definitely a bonus! I guess that answers my question whether you can output to "multiple" BT speakers simultaneously, but that's certainly not as important/desirable as having a BT input & output paired at the same time.🙂
@@tombuck whadda think about using bluetooth earbuds (Apple for example) and an IEM? I've been trying and trying to solve for wireless IEMs and wonder if this will work that way? (latency?)
Hey Tom!!! Love your content and I just recently bought the RCP2 and I want to use it to livestream directly into my iPhone for IG live and facebook live. Is this a possibility? My band wants to start doing live podcast type things on social sites. I would love to see a short video on how to do this. Thanks for all the info and everything you do!
Facebook is no problem since you can easily select the RCP as an audio source. IG is a little different since it doesn't currently like desktop streaming. However, I have been able to use it with IG on my iPad, since the iPad has a USB C port.
Removable faders mean easy to clean. I can't wait to get mine, but I dunno who will have it day one and who won't. I'll have to start making some phone calls tomorrow.
Question that nobody has covered yet … connecting this to a console, more specifically in my case … Xbox One X. I currently have my console connected to my GoXLR via optical cable but this doesn’t have one. So would console users be able to get their consoles audio to go through the RODECaster Pro II??
I’m thinking of using an hdmi audio splitter and using two line in jacks for a similar use case. No idea if it will work, but getting the RCP II either way.
@@tombuck please let me know what you find out sir! I want to preorder this bad boy! Maybe I leave my console hooked up through my GoXLR and everything else through this but WOW that seems silly LOL
Howdy, @7:22 you have the bit about connecting to output bluetooth devices like your mini bluetooth speaker. But when I try the same thing nothing shows up, wondering if there is something I am doing wrong. Can't seem to get mine to see either bluetooth headphones or speakers (I have tried a few)
Question- With the VOice FX, the cool deep voice or high pitch, when you record a podcast using multitrack, the track themselves that you are using that effect on, lets say Mic 1, those effects DO NOT come over the multitrack exported track. It's baked into the Stereo Mix, but it's not usable on a multitrack recording, do you a fix for this? I find it odd they add this feature but you can't really use it unless you are editing a podcast as one track stereo mix file. Thoughts?
@@elliothuntington8980 Yes, Rode said that it only works on the Stereo file, not on multitrack recording. So if you use the effects for voices, you only can hear them on the final stereo file mix, you will not hear them at all on the individual tracks. I read somewhere that they are going to try to get it to work on multitrack exports as well in a future update.
Love your videos they are very informative and helpful. I have 2 PCs in my streaming setup. One for games and the other to handle the broadcast. On my broadcast machine, I am finding that only the USB 1 chat virtual audio source is giving me a full output mix. When I try to choose USB 1 Main for the broadcast output I get nothing. My original plan was to has the USB 1 chat linked into my Discord or other com application and then have the USB1 Main be the multi mix out to the stream. DO you know if there is any way to switch the multi mix audio output or this normal? I know you have been bombarded with routing questions, thanks for any help in advance.
Hmm, that's strange. I've been getting almost he oppose, where the Main has EVERYTHING all the time and Chat has USB Mix Minus. Almost sounds like a bug to me, so it could be worth trying a reset to see if it clears things up.
Hello everyone it’s my first time riding in my first time using RODEcaster bro I’m using right now to the number two and for some reason I cannot bring the audio out to the speakers monitors.
@@tombuck Thank You Tom for your response. The answer is yes to your question and the same way I did the first time I tried and it was working fine, but I. don't know what I touched or did
If you tap your icon in the top left (it's the image you can customize, but I think by default it's the Rode logo), then you can see all of the completed recordings for that "account."
I'm gonna take the color thing a step further (says that coffee kicking in) and make each guest/performer wear the same color I've assigned to them on the fader knobs just so everyone is clear about who is who. 😏
@@tombuck OMG I forgot I watched this video already and now that I'm watching it again, I also noticed that I previously commented. I can't keep track of my activity or my actions. Help. LOL
Dear Tom, did you get my email which was sent on saturday? I know that you're so busy, but it is really important. If you take a look for a few minutes, I'd be more than happy.
They have to put a way to mute only mics on speakers every other interface has a button for that. I want chat to be out on speakers without my voice going on speakers.
I have a feeling that people want to know if you can remove the fader tops is because someone will eventual 3D print faders in cool colors that you can swap the originals out
So for point #2, this is the first Rodecaster video where its shown this feature to actually replace a GOXLR. Is there a way to add more virtual channels yet or is it capped at 3 if you decide to plug in both USB's? My current workflow uses 4 (mic, Discord, music player, computer audio). I'm sure this would be a simple update, but that you for confirming it already does have this feature.
Currently it's capped at 3. I have no idea if that'll change in a future update, but I can definitely tell that Rode is being pretty aggressive when it comes to outperforming the competition, so it wouldn't surprise me.
@@tombuck thanks for the confirmation. Just need to decide now if 3 will be fine for my streaming setup. With enough asking hopefully Rode will update to have more, they're usually good at adding anything they can to make their product better.
Hey Tom! Coming over from Peters vid! Nice collab you guys! Just found a few vids of yours for FCPX! Im trying to help speed up my editing. Nice work bud.
So, I use a GoXLR for my Twitch stream and a TASCAM Mixcast 4 for my podcast, but the way you just routed audio could actually replace the GoXLR for me. I'm so tempted to get the RCP2 now. I'll need to sell my other pieces of equipment though...
Tommy was the green ranger and eventually turned into the White ranger. This Tom however would be the blue ranger. Go go Rodecaster rangers. {Insert cool guitar 🎸 music here} through one of the available channels of course.
Thanks for all the Videos. They have been VERY helpful. Something myself and a half dozen of my friends have been looking for? If you had a Video for the options to properly connect instruments. Like it appears to have a Line Level input for connecting Amps/Pre Amps or Instrument for things like Acoustic Guitar? We have been trying different things as there is NOTHING like this online anywhere yet. But I bet there are MANY MANY MANY thousands of Musician streamers like us who have been waiting for a device like this. Now that it's here? Yea no CLEAR instructions on these options. Everything covering routing, MICs, Mix minus etc, etc. VEDRY WELL done Tutorials/Reviews THANK YOU!
You've hit one one of my biggest pain points with the RCP2: they really haven't done anything to update the music-related functionality. It's pretty much just a basic clean signal and that's about it. Boss recently released a similar product called the "Gigcaster" and while I'm not totally crazy about it, the virtual amp modeling is RIDICULOUS. It sounds incredible, you can tweak things however you'd like, and there's absolutely no latency or delay of any kind. I've been waiting for Rode to announce some kind of update with those features, but so far there's nothing. My personal theory is that building in that kind of sound modeling is tricky, and the other option is to license sounds from other companies, but that's probably incredibly complicated too. I'm glad the videos have been helpful!
@@tombuck I don't need "amp modeling" I am using a "Helix Floor" or "Helix Native" for my "Tones/Amp Modeling" and I am pretrty much set on sticking to my own stage gear/amp modelers.. I was just talking about explaining to people things we have had to learn the hard way with no tutorials. SIMPLE things like use LINE to connect something like your OWN Pre Amp or "Modeler" with everything sdet to unity etc... Had a few friends hitting the "Guitar" and running there ap thru there before realising that is basically just a symbol for plugging in a dry acoustic ewtc. EVERY musician is looking for answers to these ?s we had to go about trial and error to get set up. Would have been nice if these things were explained more in all the Videos we watched etc But no one talks about it.... Thanks again Tom
The puns are so bad, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Very informative, and answered a question that I had involving plugging both USBs into the same device. With all the videos you've done on this device, I finally bit the bullet and decided to pick this up to replace my GoXLR that's started to have the mic amp have its noise floor increase over time. One question I have, is are you able to layer multiple effects? One thing I like to do with my current setup is to do both pitch down and robot effects for a character I do, so I was wondering it that is still something I could do here or if effects can only do just one at a time
Great question. I just got my RCP2 in the mail yesterday and haven't figured out if it's possible to combine the effects yet. This would be a good topic to cover in a future video.
Being able to use both USB's on the same computer is something I theoretically thought could work - thank you for confirming. That's getting it ever closer to the functionality of the GoXLR with Windows machines. This would be a no brainer for me if you could do separate submixes for the different headphone outputs. My current interface has 4 separate headphone mixes (Antelope Discrete 4 SC) which I use to route audio to different places like a camera, an ATEM mini and two sets of headphones. Being able to discretely choose what audio goes where is pretty necessary for my workflow. So close, Rode!
I'm really interested to see where they'll take the USB functionality since it seems like there are a lot of possibilities and they've been pretty clear about wanting to add as many robust (Rodebust?) features as possible.
Certainly very interesting. I am drewling here on these video's. Want to replace my analog mixer with this RØDEcaster Pro II, also saves some space on my desk. Anyways, i am using BreakawayOne (Live) for the soundprocessing of live shows (haven't done it for a while but still), and that complicates things as i want to monitor the output (after processing) on my headphone. Till now i used a second soundcard in my PC for this purpose, and ASIO for the low latency (does the RØDEcaster Pro II even support ASIO?). Still have my Focusrite here also (which supports ASIO). But i think i can even manage to do this all with only the RØDEcaster without needing the Focusrite. Also i have a Lexicon MX300 multi-effect processor which i was using for a light reverb on the microphone, but i also don't need that anymore i guess. I am rambling a bit, but the main thing i wanted to say is that the use of multiple pathways is ideal and necessary for these kind of constructions if you want to use processing or an additional effect processor and with 2 USB's (soundcards) even on the same PC would be damn nice.
Tom can you please make a video on how to use this on a dual PC streaming setup. I need it to be able to have an input that's just my microphone and the effects / samples into PC 1 and I need all of that AND the desktop audio of PC 1 to be put into PC 2 for OBS Studio. I would really appreciate it 🙏
I have been looking at this to possibly upgrade from my Presonus revelator IO24 interface but the Presonus routing software has the ability to have 3 different audio sources from your computer to be on separate faders in their software. I can have my vo mic on one fader, DAW audio on another fader, zoom on its own fader and music from Spotify on its own fader so its like having 3 audio interfaces in one package although it’s software based. I would love to be able to do the same thing with physical hardware like the rode podcaster 2 but I think it comes up 1 virtual channel short.
Does anyone have any idea on the Microphone settings where the Levels are - there is a P48 on / off button and a little icon that looks like the O from the Rode logo also with an on / off button. What does that O do???
That's a great question. I had to ask Rode about that and they told me it's a phase correction option. If you have two mics next to each other and one of them is sounding strange (either a bit too quiet or too thin), they might be out of phase and this will bring them back together. Actually a super cool feature that seems a bit overlooked.
HEY TOM!! Guess what I got in the mail today?!?! If you guess anything it the Rodecaster Pro II… we’ll just don’t! I can’t wait to test this bad boy out!! Can you make a video for beginner Podcasters/UA-camrs?
CONGRATS! I hope you have a ton of fun with it! A lot of my workflow/starter videos are still relevant. For the RCPII I'm waiting until the official firmware has been out for a bit longer before making a full review and shorter tutorials 👍
I haven't used those specific headphones, so you might want to double check with Rode themselves, but since the RCP2 lets you select either high or low sensitivity headphones, it should work with just about anything.
Hi cool video! I have a road cast a pro too and I’m wondering if you can record into iPhone camera app using Bluetooth? I can’t see you at the moment not until I get my next procedure done so I haven’t even turned the road Costa on because I can’t read the screen lol. I’m using auto dictation so if there’s any hilarious mistakes it’s not my fault but possibly is because I’m choosing to use Auto dictation it’s funny it won’t let me swear at all not that I would hear about all the channels like Simon Whistler very much just wait Simon just wait till I get my vision back I’m going to leave such a comment that your holographic matrix will not comprehend the immensity of my comment!
I'm honestly not sure how to get the RCP to work with the camera app via Bluetooth (doesn't mean it's not possible though). I've only ever had good luck when connecting directly via USB.
Good underdog video! I would like to see a video on how you get your desktop to show everything it's showing, please 😊 (Now that I requested it... I'll go search your channel to make sure you haven't made that video already! 😂)
Thanks Jason! I usually just use Quicktime for screen recordings and it works really well. Sometimes I use an app called "ScreenFlow" that let's you animate zooms and highlights and stuff, but 90% of the time is just Quicktime 👍
TY SO MUCH that double usb into one computer to change where my discord audio is going to is HUGE I just bought this due to goxlr going kaput so you are the real gigachad!
That ending?! HILARIOUS!!! Thanks for sharing SOOO MUCH of your knowledge and your discoveries with the NEW RCP II!!! I'm EXCITED for mine!!! (My wife is even excited about her new one my RCP I - I even get to set it up for her! 🤪)
Hi Tom great show..... I watch your show all the time and remember how much you love the atem mini series. has anything or can you talk about the rode caster pro 2 and atem mini working together pleaseeeeeeee. I am going to to a vlog with multiple people on camera and want to use the rode caster pro 2 as my audio source for the shot and the atem for my video source. it would be great if you do an update on the two working together. I guess one thing is with two usb c´can the atem use one of them?
Hey Jason! The ATEM is great, but in my opinion, it's audio handling is the biggest weak point. I normally just connect the ATEM and RCP to the computer separately for best results. But the new RCP does have a line level output, which means you can run the monitor outputs into an ATEM or camera with better results than before if needed.
Tom: I'm an adjunct professor and deliver my drone certification (Part 107) class online using Ecamm and Zoom. So it's only me. I use the Samson G-Track Pro USB mic and it has been pretty good (anything is better than the built-in mic of my iMac 2017!). Should I still consider a RODECaster Pro II? I'm sure I'll be upgrading my microphone one day to something better, but I just don't think I'll be using ¼ of the features of the RProII. Your opinion?
As much as I love the RCP2, it sounds like it might be overkill in your situation. If the Samson is getting the job done, then there's no reason to upgrade! If it's leaving something to be desired, then maybe there's another USB mic that would help? (I've really been liking the Rode NT-USB+ and the Sennheiser Profile.) If you get to the point where you want to use XLR mics and/or add multiple other audio sources, then the RCP would be a great help.
I still have no clue how the Rodecaster works.
I think you explained it very eloquently.

Cool items. Still want an in depth multitrack video, then I'm sold if it solves version one issues! 😁
Wow - this is the product that just keeps on giving! Having a wireless monitor will be brilliant for what we do with our sports broadcasts. At the moment our camera operator sometimes isn't close enough to the commentators to hear what they are saying and therefore react to what they are saying with the camera (for instance film a player specifically that they are talking about) but with this function they can wear bluetooth headphones and monitor them all the time.

I've only used it in the same room, so about 3-4 meters. I'll be interested to test the distance with the official firmware later this week 👍
And I feel you about running cables- it's extremely tough and has a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong.
@@tombuck Just checked with google and it seems like 10 metres is achievable which should just about do the trick but it will be interesting to try it out for real when it arrives. Thanks again for your quick response

Hi. Great info. Man those puns just flow.
recently bought a RCP2 and had a GoXLR. great device so far.

Also the ease of use of the sample buttons with the record, playback and crop functionality was great on the GoXLR, I'm surprised Rode didn't do something similar.
Don't quote me on this, but I THINK Rode's Unify software is what's intended to solve this problem.

Had to come here to tell mr.Buck And his community about my First impressions about The rodecaster pro 2. Got my preorder on thursday And I live in Finland. Made a podcast episode with it yesterday And OH MY GOD HOW CLEAN IT SOUNDS. I had The og rodecaster ’cuz Tom told me to get one And this New version is sooooo much better. I thought it would be overkill for just podcasting but it’s worth to update. Keep those videos coming about this New version so I And the whole community can learn more. Cheers!
So glad to hear this! I've been consistently impressed with it too!
I've been loving your content lately. Thank you & Keep up the good work!
Thanks John! I'm really happy to hear that!
Those are some amazing features one day soon I will be a to appreciate them in person.
I'm excited for you! I'm sure you'll do some awesome stuff with it.
#2 just might be the reason I buy this. I’m having issues with the og rcp. I bought a uad twin x audio interface. I love the plug ins they make the sm7b mic sound amazing. I was trying to have it work with ecam and the rcp. Without having to buy loopback (which still couldn’t do what I wanted for some reason maybe my fault) wonder if there would be a delay if I tried hooking all this up together? thanks tom!
I think this functionality will get expanded upon in the future (I don't know for sure, it's just a guess), and I would love to see that.
Imagine changing the physical fader to an anodized aluminum blue as well! Or a set of the 4 colors you have for the other cables. Less flexible, more fail proof?
So theoretically I could remove the fader knobs.3D print some custom knobs and replace them. Sweet
I'm excited to play around with the possibilities of the RCP. I do hope that they will modify it so you don't have to stop recording just to edit the fader assignments, We do this with A&H boards all the time. Having this on the RCP will be awesome.
I think currently it's probably to protect users from themselves, but being able to reassign things while recording would definitely be helpful.
By any chance do you have two iPads and try to hook both of them up? In theory, it seems like it should work. I have the OG RCP and upgraded to the RCPII with hopes of being able to use both. I do music noodling and I'm hopeful I chose wisely. Thanks!
You cna connect two iPads via USB, or one via USB and one via Bluetooth 👍
Tom you gotta try the goxlr mic!!!! It’s incredible!!!
I've heard great things!
Marvel movies has taught me to always stay for the end credits. Lol glad I did on this one 🤣
Can the Rodecaster accept multiple inputs over a single USB connection and then be assigned to individual faders? For example, from a computer over usb - game audio, discord, music, etc. all separated into their own tracks.
Basically it's just as I showed here where you can get 3 inputs/outputs for the time being. I'm very curious if that'll change with future updates though, since more routing is a highly requested feature.
@@tombuck If Rode added 3 or 4 virtual audio channels per USB port, every streamer would be lining up to get one. I'd like to know if this is a possibility with a firmware update or not possible due to hardware limitations.
Thanks for the video!! I can’t wait to get mine. I am hoping Best Buy doesn’t take for ever sending this thing out.
If you ordered early, it shouldn't be too long 👍
Only use 5c18 or sc19 to connect to the computer? Other U5B C cannot be connected to rode centered 2.0？How can I restore my settings without connecting to my computer?
Those are the USB cables you'd want to use when connecting an iOS device. For regular computer connectivity, you can use the included USB cable, or pretty much any other one (I've gotten away with using lots of cheap cables with the RCP).
You can also reset and update from the RCP directly without connecting it to anything.
@@tombuck The RPC I got is the 0.05 test version. It may not be used until the factory settings are restored. How can I solve it?
I’m still learning to use my RodeCaster Pro (v1)….I’m going to need a bigger studio. 😳👍👍
Space is definitely becoming a premium here.
@@tombuck yes…looks like you’ll need Peter L. to extend your studio as well. 😳🤣🤣
Great overview of some very cool features, Tom! Just out of curiosity (and forgive the noob question) - with the Bluetooth, I'm guessing I could pair my Android phone, and then use my SM7B and Sony headphones as my audio input and output for Twitter Spaces? Getting the RCP2 in a week, can't wait!
First tests of the RodeCaster Pro 2... I'm a radio DJ working in voice track for radio stations 50% of time with RCS Zetta 2 GO...
I'm not sure I'm going to make it a working tool.
First things: the French translation is worthy of a Wish product... But let's move on to translation.
I tested the micro process part impossible to obtain a dense radio sound as can be obtained with a Symetrix 528e, an M1 or a dbx286 ...
More embarrassing or more serious...
To work in radio production (voice track for my case and under WIndows, my Macintoshians may have qq something more satisfying).
If we use the ASIO drivers, we have 0 gain control between the console output and the interface, normal everything is integrated... yes except that peaks at -12dB may be the norm in the recording studio, in Broadcast where we have more levels with peaks close to 0 dBFS (to stick to the music production that is in these standards)... In Sound Forge too weak to be delivered without post prod, in Reaper (a multitrack) the correction of gain after recording gave me systematically saturation, and that I could not understand why ... Related to how the integrated interface handles levels?
One more thing in ASIO the only sampling frequency is the 48kHz, the 44.1 which remains a standard, we forget, the 96kHz which is the new PRO standard we forget also...
Finally the ASIO driver seemed to me hyper unstable ceasing to accept to record without reason at times ...
I have been working for years in ASIO with Focusrite which is renowned for its drivers not always well cared for and I do not know this instability.
This closes the trial for local registration... let's switch to Zetta to do remote voice...
To interface with Zetta it is necessary on the other hand to stick with the Windows standard (Zetta uses the default registration interface of the PC) and manage with the "recording level" in the control panel, again up to -12dBFS it works between -12 and 0 it saturates very quickly. The micro stage having just a compressor and not limit to put in the stride, it is either too weak or saturated in my tests. I was planning to use the "chat" output but it is in a quality type phone (restricted bandwidth) not bad for phone on Skype (and again) but not exploitable in Broadcast (I planned to use it as an N-1 for Zetta)... So remains the Secondary output (2nd USB interface to put in N-1) but again impossible to manage the level satisfactorily.
I also transferred the beds of a radio to one of the customizable pads. These beds were very qualitative MP3s, it works but... It looks like it starts playing by emptying a remnant of buffer, so systematically reading a remnant of sound before playing the new jingle, and the jingle at the top left can not be reread after reading regardless of the config, and it is well in replay like the others...
I finish writing this post, I will go and store it in its box, before making further tests or repacking it for return. My first impression is not excellent...
I am used to working with a focusrite interface and a digital process from Symetrix. I notice that the input of the Focusrite has a super tolerance to saturation, I work permanently at the limit of 0dBFS without saturating.
Great job. Good stuff. I've tried to keep my mouth shut, but I just can't anymore. This is not to be mean, but to help: I think your channel actually might benefit from less dad jokes/ word play. Not saying I'm correct. Maybe you should put up a poll and check what your audience think. I understand you think it's fun and that I might motivate you, so if you have to do it, it's OK! Whatever... Again... Enjoying your content alot!
Just curious, does Rode Central app download with the firmware over ethernet, or is that an additional download?
The Central app works over USB to the RCP, but you can also download firmware directly to the RCP using either wifi or ethernet. Lots of options!
I had used my rodecaster I for years, now I've just unpack my rodecaster pro 2 ... but can't see anywhere the mix minus on the usb 1... seems like only usb channel 2 make mix minus is this possible somehow? other strange thing if I connect directly by usb c to the pc won't see the first interface but only the second one... Only thing I've done is install the update when unpacked...
It’s currently a bit different: USB Main has no mix minus, USB Chat always has mix minus, and USB2 has the option to select it on or off.
my question is can i connect my ps5 from USB to USB c in one of the connectors of the rodecaster pro 2?
I'm not enough of a gamer to know for sure. I feel like this is possible, but I connected it to a USB port on my Xbox Series S and nothing happened. But I'm an absolute beginner at that kind of thing.
Off topic Tom. What's your go to suggestion for USB mic at $100 for meetings / podcasts (not xlr)?
That's a good question! The Rode NT-USB Mini is awesome if you're able to position it close to your mouth. Beyond that, in the sub $100 range there are some really decent mics from Samson and Fifine. They won't totally blow you away or anything, but they're great for the price and perfect for general use.
Also, I'm still trying to figure out what replaced the master headphone output that was on the front of the first Rødecaster. Is it just defaulted to the first headphone jack now or what?
Yes, just use headphone output #1 on back on RCP 2. I believe the one on front of RCP 1 was more about convenience than anything.
Basically yes, it's just #1 on the back. I'm not 100% sure why they removed the front one, but I do know it caused a lot of confusion since many people didn't understand it was the same control as the rear #1 as well. Maybe it was just to keep things simple? I used the front jack every day, but honestly have been totally fine without it so far.
This will be the final straw for me to go get a longer cable for my headphones. The current one is _almost_ long enough when using the front jack.
Great video - thanks! How does the bluetooth feature actually work? Is it possible to use it "both ways" the same time - e.g. play music from an ipad AND send signal to an bluetooth speaker? What do you think about using the RCP II for an event setting - sending the audio signal via bluetooth e.g. to a LG Maui 5 speaker?
It should work both ways otherwise it wouldn't be very beneficial. If you take a look @7:47 you can see his phone is already paired to the RCP prior to connecting the speaker. Paired input devices would be assigned to a channel for volume control via a fader (physical or virtual). Output volume for a BT speaker appears to be controlled by the master knob.
Currently the beta firmware only allows me to connect one at a time. Not sure if that'll change in the future, but it definitely makes sense to use a phone and speaker simultaneously.
@@tombuck Wow, I stand corrected. I truly hope Rode enables simultaneous usage in a firmware update very soon. Granted, just having the addition of BT output to a speaker is definitely a bonus! I guess that answers my question whether you can output to "multiple" BT speakers simultaneously, but that's certainly not as important/desirable as having a BT input & output paired at the same time.🙂
@@tombuck Do you think that it can be changes via a firmware update? Or is it an hardware issue?
@@tombuck whadda think about using bluetooth earbuds (Apple for example) and an IEM? I've been trying and trying to solve for wireless IEMs and wonder if this will work that way? (latency?)
Hey Tom!!! Love your content and I just recently bought the RCP2 and I want to use it to livestream directly into my iPhone for IG live and facebook live. Is this a possibility? My band wants to start doing live podcast type things on social sites. I would love to see a short video on how to do this. Thanks for all the info and everything you do!
Facebook is no problem since you can easily select the RCP as an audio source. IG is a little different since it doesn't currently like desktop streaming. However, I have been able to use it with IG on my iPad, since the iPad has a USB C port.
Removable faders mean easy to clean. I can't wait to get mine, but I dunno who will have it day one and who won't. I'll have to start making some phone calls tomorrow.
Great point! Super east to clean...and possibly customize at some point 👀
Question that nobody has covered yet … connecting this to a console, more specifically in my case … Xbox One X. I currently have my console connected to my GoXLR via optical cable but this doesn’t have one. So would console users be able to get their consoles audio to go through the RODECaster Pro II??
This is actually a really good question. I just got a Series S but know nothing about connecting audio. Probably a good time to experiment 🤔
I’m thinking of using an hdmi audio splitter and using two line in jacks for a similar use case. No idea if it will work, but getting the RCP II either way.
@@tombuck a fantastic time to test! There’s a massive console community that will want to know :)
@@tombuck please let me know what you find out sir! I want to preorder this bad boy! Maybe I leave my console hooked up through my GoXLR and everything else through this but WOW that seems silly LOL
Whoa what an ending lol. That was cool! I think Peter explained it much better than you Tom 😂😜😜
I agree! 🇸🇪
Howdy, @7:22 you have the bit about connecting to output bluetooth devices like your mini bluetooth speaker. But when I try the same thing nothing shows up, wondering if there is something I am doing wrong. Can't seem to get mine to see either bluetooth headphones or speakers (I have tried a few)
Looks like it isn't available in the current firmware 1.0 are you still able to connect to your output devices since the update?
If i use a Buetooth speaker how i can set the rodecaster that i can hear only through the speaker and not
through the headphones?
On th the Mac side when connecting the Rodecaster, can you use regular USB-A port on Mac or it must be usb-c to usb-c only?
Can the Rodecaster 2 record directly to a SSD in multi track?
Yep! It can simultaneously record to SSD and MicroSD.
@@tombuck that’s awesome! So no more exporting! Thanks Tom
Can you test the loop feature that the Rodecaster was bad on
Question- With the VOice FX, the cool deep voice or high pitch, when you record a podcast using multitrack, the track themselves that you are using that effect on, lets say Mic 1, those effects DO NOT come over the multitrack exported track. It's baked into the Stereo Mix, but it's not usable on a multitrack recording, do you a fix for this? I find it odd they add this feature but you can't really use it unless you are editing a podcast as one track stereo mix file. Thoughts?
Did you ever figure out a solution for this? I'm wondering if it has something to do with the pre fader or post fader configuration settings.
@@elliothuntington8980 Yes, Rode said that it only works on the Stereo file, not on multitrack recording. So if you use the effects for voices, you only can hear them on the final stereo file mix, you will not hear them at all on the individual tracks. I read somewhere that they are going to try to get it to work on multitrack exports as well in a future update.
Hey Tom! what kind of pop filter is that? I would love to grab one myself but the only ones I can find are around 50$.
There’s a link in the description. It’s from a site called BSW 👍
Love your videos they are very informative and helpful. I have 2 PCs in my streaming setup. One for games and the other to handle the broadcast. On my broadcast machine, I am finding that only the USB 1 chat virtual audio source is giving me a full output mix. When I try to choose USB 1 Main for the broadcast output I get nothing. My original plan was to has the USB 1 chat linked into my Discord or other com application and then have the USB1 Main be the multi mix out to the stream. DO you know if there is any way to switch the multi mix audio output or this normal? I know you have been bombarded with routing questions, thanks for any help in advance.
Hmm, that's strange. I've been getting almost he oppose, where the Main has EVERYTHING all the time and Chat has USB Mix Minus. Almost sounds like a bug to me, so it could be worth trying a reset to see if it clears things up.
Hello everyone it’s my first time riding in my first time using RODEcaster bro I’m using right now to the number two and for some reason I cannot bring the audio out to the speakers monitors.
Do you have monitor output set to put automatically? This is a setting that will disable your monitors any time a mic input is raised above 0.
@@tombuck Thank You Tom for your response. The answer is yes to your question and the same way I did the first time I tried and it was working fine, but I. don't know what I touched or did
can you connect a phone and a speaker via Bluetooth simultaneously?
Currently not with the beta firmware I have.
I'm still looking to play back my recording on the RCP2 without transferring it to the laptop. I think I did it once...somehow
If you tap your icon in the top left (it's the image you can customize, but I think by default it's the Rode logo), then you can see all of the completed recordings for that "account."
I'm gonna take the color thing a step further (says that coffee kicking in) and make each guest/performer wear the same color I've assigned to them on the fader knobs just so everyone is clear about who is who. 😏
At the very least, give them a coordinated beanie that matches the mic. 😁
@@tombuck OMG I forgot I watched this video already and now that I'm watching it again, I also noticed that I previously commented. I can't keep track of my activity or my actions. Help. LOL
man the ending🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😍😍
Dear Tom, did you get my email which was sent on saturday? I know that you're so busy, but it is really important. If you take a look for a few minutes, I'd be more than happy.
Email sent 👍
Does that thing records? Everyone seems to do everything but record on it 🤌
Yes, that's definitely a core feature that sets it apart form other interfaces. You can record to an internal MicroSD card or an attached SSD.
They have to put a way to mute only mics on speakers every other interface has a button for that. I want chat to be out on speakers without my voice going on speakers.
I have a feeling that people want to know if you can remove the fader tops is because someone will eventual 3D print faders in cool colors that you can swap the originals out
Yes I’m the one that asked Tom about that 🤣 nobody cares about it but I do ahah.
Peter did a perfect sum up of the video! 👏😂
I agree!
So for point #2, this is the first Rodecaster video where its shown this feature to actually replace a GOXLR. Is there a way to add more virtual channels yet or is it capped at 3 if you decide to plug in both USB's? My current workflow uses 4 (mic, Discord, music player, computer audio).
I'm sure this would be a simple update, but that you for confirming it already does have this feature.
I was wondering the same. Im also wondering if we could plug in 2 Rcps the new and old one to achieve some in/out variations.
Currently it's capped at 3. I have no idea if that'll change in a future update, but I can definitely tell that Rode is being pretty aggressive when it comes to outperforming the competition, so it wouldn't surprise me.
@@tombuck thanks for the confirmation. Just need to decide now if 3 will be fine for my streaming setup. With enough asking hopefully Rode will update to have more, they're usually good at adding anything they can to make their product better.
Hey Tom! Coming over from Peters vid! Nice collab you guys! Just found a few vids of yours for FCPX! Im trying to help speed up my editing. Nice work bud.
Awesome, thanks Raul! I'm honored by the kind words 🙏
can i connect my iphone via bluetooth and send sound directly to it so its video is automatically synced?
You should be able to do it, but I haven't tried record video on a phone with the RCP as an audio source.
So, I use a GoXLR for my Twitch stream and a TASCAM Mixcast 4 for my podcast, but the way you just routed audio could actually replace the GoXLR for me. I'm so tempted to get the RCP2 now. I'll need to sell my other pieces of equipment though...
It's definitely nice when you can condense multiple pieces of gear into one.
Aaand... The temptation was too great. Selling my GoXLR and ordered a RØDECaster Pro II. I'm beyond excited for it!
#1 feature missing is just a Parametric Equalizer where we can go in and notch out bad frequencies.
Tommy was the green ranger and eventually turned into the White ranger. This Tom however would be the blue ranger. Go go Rodecaster rangers. {Insert cool guitar 🎸 music here} through one of the available channels of course.
Hey Tom. Is it possible to connect the original road caster pro to wireless headphones?
Thanks for all the Videos. They have been VERY helpful. Something myself and a half dozen of my friends have been looking for? If you had a Video for the options to properly connect instruments. Like it appears to have a Line Level input for connecting Amps/Pre Amps or Instrument for things like Acoustic Guitar? We have been trying different things as there is NOTHING like this online anywhere yet. But I bet there are MANY MANY MANY thousands of Musician streamers like us who have been waiting for a device like this. Now that it's here? Yea no CLEAR instructions on these options. Everything covering routing, MICs, Mix minus etc, etc. VEDRY WELL done Tutorials/Reviews THANK YOU!
You've hit one one of my biggest pain points with the RCP2: they really haven't done anything to update the music-related functionality. It's pretty much just a basic clean signal and that's about it.
Boss recently released a similar product called the "Gigcaster" and while I'm not totally crazy about it, the virtual amp modeling is RIDICULOUS. It sounds incredible, you can tweak things however you'd like, and there's absolutely no latency or delay of any kind.
I've been waiting for Rode to announce some kind of update with those features, but so far there's nothing. My personal theory is that building in that kind of sound modeling is tricky, and the other option is to license sounds from other companies, but that's probably incredibly complicated too.
I'm glad the videos have been helpful!
@@tombuck I don't need "amp modeling" I am using a "Helix Floor" or "Helix Native" for my "Tones/Amp Modeling" and I am pretrty much set on sticking to my own stage gear/amp modelers.. I was just talking about explaining to people things we have had to learn the hard way with no tutorials.
SIMPLE things like use LINE to connect something like your OWN Pre Amp or "Modeler" with everything sdet to unity etc... Had a few friends hitting the "Guitar" and running there ap thru there before realising that is basically just a symbol for plugging in a dry acoustic ewtc.
EVERY musician is looking for answers to these ?s we had to go about trial and error to get set up. Would have been nice if these things were explained more in all the Videos we watched etc But no one talks about it.... Thanks again Tom
The puns are so bad, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Very informative, and answered a question that I had involving plugging both USBs into the same device. With all the videos you've done on this device, I finally bit the bullet and decided to pick this up to replace my GoXLR that's started to have the mic amp have its noise floor increase over time. One question I have, is are you able to layer multiple effects? One thing I like to do with my current setup is to do both pitch down and robot effects for a character I do, so I was wondering it that is still something I could do here or if effects can only do just one at a time
Great question. I just got my RCP2 in the mail yesterday and haven't figured out if it's possible to combine the effects yet. This would be a good topic to cover in a future video.
Being able to use both USB's on the same computer is something I theoretically thought could work - thank you for confirming. That's getting it ever closer to the functionality of the GoXLR with Windows machines. This would be a no brainer for me if you could do separate submixes for the different headphone outputs. My current interface has 4 separate headphone mixes (Antelope Discrete 4 SC) which I use to route audio to different places like a camera, an ATEM mini and two sets of headphones. Being able to discretely choose what audio goes where is pretty necessary for my workflow. So close, Rode!
I'm really interested to see where they'll take the USB functionality since it seems like there are a lot of possibilities and they've been pretty clear about wanting to add as many robust (Rodebust?) features as possible.
Certainly very interesting. I am drewling here on these video's. Want to replace my analog mixer with this RØDEcaster Pro II, also saves some space on my desk. Anyways, i am using BreakawayOne (Live) for the soundprocessing of live shows (haven't done it for a while but still), and that complicates things as i want to monitor the output (after processing) on my headphone. Till now i used a second soundcard in my PC for this purpose, and ASIO for the low latency (does the RØDEcaster Pro II even support ASIO?). Still have my Focusrite here also (which supports ASIO). But i think i can even manage to do this all with only the RØDEcaster without needing the Focusrite. Also i have a Lexicon MX300 multi-effect processor which i was using for a light reverb on the microphone, but i also don't need that anymore i guess. I am rambling a bit, but the main thing i wanted to say is that the use of multiple pathways is ideal and necessary for these kind of constructions if you want to use processing or an additional effect processor and with 2 USB's (soundcards) even on the same PC would be damn nice.
DIScord, not DATcord *slaps knee* *still gives dirty look*
Quick question, what shock mount where you using? I use that same mic and am using the Rode shock mount. That one you have looks different…
Tom's using the shock mount from the Røde NT1! ;)
I commandeered the one from my NT-1 since it's the only one I have that fits the Procaster.
@@tombuck oh wow! Didn’t know it fits both microphones. Thanks!
OMG!!! Not only was this video chock full of goodness but the Peter pop-up was perfection!
I love the jokes.
Tom can you please make a video on how to use this on a dual PC streaming setup.
I need it to be able to have an input that's just my microphone and the effects / samples into PC 1 and I need all of that AND the desktop audio of PC 1 to be put into PC 2 for OBS Studio.
I would really appreciate it 🙏
Already got you covered: ua-cam.com/video/w6tfE9ODadY/v-deo.html
I have been looking at this to possibly upgrade from my Presonus revelator IO24 interface but the Presonus routing software has the ability to have 3 different audio sources from your computer to be on separate faders in their software. I can have my vo mic on one fader, DAW audio on another fader, zoom on its own fader and music from Spotify on its own fader so its like having 3 audio interfaces in one package although it’s software based. I would love to be able to do the same thing with physical hardware like the rode podcaster 2 but I think it comes up 1 virtual channel short.
Check out my RCPII walkthrough video: ua-cam.com/video/vZSyQU6wcvw/v-deo.html
Does anyone have any idea on the Microphone settings where the Levels are - there is a P48 on / off button and a little icon that looks like the O from the Rode logo also with an on / off button. What does that O do???
That's a great question. I had to ask Rode about that and they told me it's a phase correction option. If you have two mics next to each other and one of them is sounding strange (either a bit too quiet or too thin), they might be out of phase and this will bring them back together. Actually a super cool feature that seems a bit overlooked.
@@tombuck Ok, thanks! I was totally wondering WTH it was on mine :)
CAMEO Ruled. Very witty also, btw... A+++
Are you able to route different mic/line inputs to different USB channels? Like mic 1-2 goes to usb primary but 3-4 goes to secondary?
Currently no, but I'd love to see that in a future update.
I figured it out!!!!!
Amazing Tips Tom!
Tom do you know if the broadcast meters can be shown in the companion app on the computer so I could place them on a secondary screen?
I'm not sure how to do that yet, or if it's possible, but I'd love to see it!
Appreciate all the pre-release info. Just got mine yesterday and was able to dive right in after watching your videos!
Awesome! I hope you have a ton of fun with it!
Lol now I can see how big Peter is! He doesn’t even fit in your shot 😂🤣
Maybe I'm just a very tiny man?
I came for the content, I stayed for the puns.
Have you seen the Loupedeck Live S yet and if so would you hold off to buy that or get a stream deck?
I haven't used the Loupedeck Live, so I can't say. I do think the Elgato software is simpler though.
HEY TOM!! Guess what I got in the mail today?!?! If you guess anything it the Rodecaster Pro II… we’ll just don’t! I can’t wait to test this bad boy out!!
Can you make a video for beginner Podcasters/UA-camrs?
CONGRATS! I hope you have a ton of fun with it!
A lot of my workflow/starter videos are still relevant. For the RCPII I'm waiting until the official firmware has been out for a bit longer before making a full review and shorter tutorials 👍
Im thinking of getting the senhesiher hd 800s to go with my rode2, is the rode 2 enough on its own for it?
I haven't used those specific headphones, so you might want to double check with Rode themselves, but since the RCP2 lets you select either high or low sensitivity headphones, it should work with just about anything.
Hi cool video! I have a road cast a pro too and I’m wondering if you can record into iPhone camera app using Bluetooth? I can’t see you at the moment not until I get my next procedure done so I haven’t even turned the road Costa on because I can’t read the screen lol. I’m using auto dictation so if there’s any hilarious mistakes it’s not my fault but possibly is because I’m choosing to use Auto dictation it’s funny it won’t let me swear at all not that I would hear about all the channels like Simon Whistler very much just wait Simon just wait till I get my vision back I’m going to leave such a comment that your holographic matrix will not comprehend the immensity of my comment!
I'm honestly not sure how to get the RCP to work with the camera app via Bluetooth (doesn't mean it's not possible though). I've only ever had good luck when connecting directly via USB.
Good underdog video!
I would like to see a video on how you get your desktop to show everything it's showing, please 😊 (Now that I requested it... I'll go search your channel to make sure you haven't made that video already! 😂)
Thanks Jason! I usually just use Quicktime for screen recordings and it works really well. Sometimes I use an app called "ScreenFlow" that let's you animate zooms and highlights and stuff, but 90% of the time is just Quicktime 👍
Jättebra !!
Soooooo excited for mines!! I still can’t believe it! Thank you so much for stopping by yesterday!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Congrats again! I didn't see all 100 streams, but I stopped in as often as I could (even if I was just a lurker 😁)
TY SO MUCH that double usb into one computer to change where my discord audio is going to is HUGE I just bought this due to goxlr going kaput so you are the real gigachad!
Haha, glad it helped! They've updated the firmware a bit more since this and added even more routing options and stuff.
That ending?! HILARIOUS!!!
Thanks for sharing SOOO MUCH of your knowledge and your discoveries with the NEW RCP II!!! I'm EXCITED for mine!!! (My wife is even excited about her new one my RCP I - I even get to set it up for her! 🤪)
Oh nice! I hope she has fun with it!
Hi Tom great show..... I watch your show all the time and remember how much you love the atem mini series. has anything or can you talk about the rode caster pro 2 and atem mini working together pleaseeeeeeee. I am going to to a vlog with multiple people on camera and want to use the rode caster pro 2 as my audio source for the shot and the atem for my video source. it would be great if you do an update on the two working together. I guess one thing is with two usb c´can the atem use one of them?
Hey Jason! The ATEM is great, but in my opinion, it's audio handling is the biggest weak point. I normally just connect the ATEM and RCP to the computer separately for best results.
But the new RCP does have a line level output, which means you can run the monitor outputs into an ATEM or camera with better results than before if needed.

I bought a RodeCasterPro II recently. It's paid for itself just from being able to talk like a chipmunk. Everything else is gravy! Love it!
They really should market that as the main feature. What more could anyone want?!
Another RCP II video yeeeyy 👍
And ehh SWOOSH! Haha loved it
Tom: I'm an adjunct professor and deliver my drone certification (Part 107) class online using Ecamm and Zoom. So it's only me. I use the Samson G-Track Pro USB mic and it has been pretty good (anything is better than the built-in mic of my iMac 2017!). Should I still consider a RODECaster Pro II? I'm sure I'll be upgrading my microphone one day to something better, but I just don't think I'll be using ¼ of the features of the RProII. Your opinion?
As much as I love the RCP2, it sounds like it might be overkill in your situation. If the Samson is getting the job done, then there's no reason to upgrade! If it's leaving something to be desired, then maybe there's another USB mic that would help? (I've really been liking the Rode NT-USB+ and the Sennheiser Profile.)
If you get to the point where you want to use XLR mics and/or add multiple other audio sources, then the RCP would be a great help.
@@tombuck Understood. That’s my feeling as well. 😁👍🏼✨
