MATE! You are a lifesaver. I've been raging since I bought the Rodecaster about muting speakers when mic is on and could just never figure it out. By sheer accident i'm watching this video and you saved me. Cheers!
Not often you search for something on UA-cam and find it first time. I have the RCP II and was wondering how I could set up a do desk with it. Excellent video, very straight forward and exactly what i needed. Just need to decide which DJ desk that’s within my budget now :-)
Duuuude, this is exactly what I am doing!! you're the only one that has a video / idea that I been doing, using the Rodecaster Pro. However you're using a FAR more higher end setup with that one, specifically. But same concept. I didn't think you'd be someone to actually do a video for those of us that are mix show DJs, and running stations similar to what's shown. Do you actually DJ, (ie mixing, blending etc?)
@@gregmick35 I actually have both. I have turntables, CDJs, and multiple controllers. I mainly use controllers now, it's easier to carry and use as a all in one device. Controllers that I mainly use Pioneer DDJ SX, the 200, the Roland DJ 808, and I have many more that are mainly used for basic needs / essentials. I primarily use the SX & Roland ones. Eventually I will be purchasing more equipment for community / guest DJs to use. Such as the Pioneer S 7, CDJs, and maybe some Rane 12s.
Good day to you , I would like to know how to connect 2 x CDJs + DJM mixer to the NEW RODECASTER II MIXER . THANKS .I will be using Studio Monitors also and its for Broadcast purposes .
Would love to see an updated version of this with the Rodecaster 2 and a simpler DJ controller like the RX3 or RX2 that doesnt have the more numerous outputs that the more expensive mixers have.
Can you please make a video on pioneer SRT 1000 or pioneer ddj Sx because that’s what I’m trying to use with my station. They don’t have Record out. Or do you have any idea on the output I can use?? Thank you. Love you guys.
It generates a buzz noise eventually using the 3.5 input on the rodecaster! I’ve been set up like this since lock down hit, not great for professional environments but does the job for sure if you need a quick fix
Can I ask why you plug the headphones over to the rodecaster from the mixer? Does that hinder the mixing of tracks? Thanks in advance. Peter, Vancouver
Hello James can you tell me how to get the output volume to sound like it does in the head set .. when I go back and listen in the car the output isn’t loud enough
Hi James great video been using the Rodcaster pro for a while. If i wire my set up like this will the Ducking effect still work on the music channel.Thanks in advance.
Really good video, it's clear and i will use this system for streaming some DJ sets, but i have a question : When you speak in the mic, your voice go to the stream with the music (because you connect the USB and set in streaming software as audio input) so that's what we want, but did your voice go on the monitoring and hear yourself ?
Hi Jamie, Thanks for the clear and concise lesson on how to do this. I am considering the Rodecaster Pro to use to produce some radio shows. I have a DDJ800 with Rekordbox as the music source, however to save space on the desk at home I'd like to use the Rekordbox application on my laptop to send the music to the Rodecaster rather than connect the DDJ800, is this possible?
You can probably still apply some of the same principles. I'm not sure the Podtrak 8 allows you to auto-mute monitors. However, you can still route your DJ set up for live streaming or broadcast purposes. Just make sure you wear headphones if you're using a mic!
The pads are on their own channel (the last fader) so they should be heard over anything coming in on any other channel if the fader is up.

Hello James. Thank you very much for your advice. This is clear to me, but how to preview (PFL) the dj set and the Rodecaster Pro at the same time? I have the Rodecaster Pro outputs (headphone) connected wirh the Dj set mixer outputs (headphone) connected with a small mixer and it works fine, but with the Rodecaster Pro 2 this doesn't work and the left channel of the mixer is practically nullified. Do you know any solution?
Great video James waiting for my Rodecaster Pro to Arrive from Santa lol. if you don't have a record out on you DJ mixer I have a Denon MC6000 Mk2 can you just use the Booth out?
Hello James,this is very informative. Is there a problem if I connect the DJ kit to a laptop,then connect the laptop to Rodecaster via the USB-C, Which will leave the phone line on should I choose to connect a phone? Thank you.
If you're using software to DJ, you can use the USB channel and just select this as the output on your software - I have another video which covers this on my channel. Just look for 'broadcast live using rodecaster'.
From what I can see on Google it looks like there are two master outputs - so I’d use the second for the rodecsster. There are Phono outputs - just like in my video, would have thought that would be fairly obvious?
Yes, no reason why you can't use these as additional input channels. However, remember as they are designed for mics, they are only mono channels - not stereo, which isn't ideal for music. One way round this would be to use 2 of the mic channels (so you have a left and right). You'd just need to remember to raise and lower both of the faders if you did this.
Yeah should work - although sometimes booth has prefade so you might not want to broadcast that. Also sometimes called tape out or any kind of second output would work.
Hi, curious... any reason why we can't use the XLRs (on the Roadcaster Pro) instead of the mini-jack? also... from 0/10, how's the Music Audio Quality? typically... these Podcasting mixers have a terrible MUSIC AUDIO quality....
The XLR Ports are mono as they are intended for mic inputs (you could use 2 car channels for stereo) whereas 3.5mm jack is stereo. For tech specs about audio quality see rode.com/interfaces-and-mixers/rodecaster-pro
@@AudioInsider_YT You surely haven't answered my question. All the specs on their website add to word (MIC) which makes me feel, the pre-amps are mostly designed for MICs... while audio music is left behind... simple question... how's the music audio quality? does it retain all its dynamics or is it a MUFFLED / Dead sound like if it's a radio from the 80's? Thanks for helping
@WebnBe LTD I don't think it sounds muffled no, you can't really compare it to radio in the 80s? It's a digital device. Ask Rode if you have further questions though.
@@AudioInsider_YT it does sound exactly as I described it, I've already contacted them and waiting for a reply, but I know for sure that the sound would have no dynamics, it will be a pretty much dead sound... like if it's coming from inside a box. The mids (levels) would be so height that it will surely feel like a radio station from that time. I'm sure the Mics will sound good... but it's good to CALL THINGS as they are... this is an expensive unit.
@@AudioInsider_YT For the record, the only reason I commented on your video, it's because you are using this unit in a DJ context... No DJ with normal listening would accept this quality of sound for audio MUSIC. If you do... surely you should be on a different line of work. DJ = Music = Sound... if the sound isn't good... wipe off the rest.
This video was made using the first version of the RCP. You can use the microphone inputs on the back on the RCPII as a stereo pair and use 1/4" jack inputs instead. Same principles apply.
can it be possible for u to kindly give me the of ur engineer staff to see one on come for me for helping me setting up and fixing up all the equipment for me ?

Awesome video! This is exactly what we need for our small radio station.
Nice bro thanks 😉 i will used that tomorrow for a quick mix up music video

Needed this video. Been wondering how to set this up for guest DJs on my frequency.
Perfect! Happy to help.
Wow, great job!! Nice done. There will be time to come to me.
No problem!
How would you enable pre-cue on the headphones? would you need to get a splitter?

Can you connect the Rodecaster Duo to the Pioneer xdj Rx3 controller? If so, how
How do I get a mix out from rodecaster to the transmitters?
Will this work with a goxlr? I will be getting a roadcaster in a few months, but for now I have a GoXlr?
Hi James great video been using the Rodcaster pro for a while. If i wire my set up like this will the Ducking effect still work on the music channel.Thanks in advance.
can you do please one for setting up with a playout system?
So the first cable removed is a monitor cable, dual 1/4 TS cable?
And the 2nd cable is a 3.5mm to RCA cable?
Am a new starter to this great vid, How do I record video to stream to likes of TikTok etc Thanks
Is there a way to connect it with a phone as well so you can receive incoming calls and dj as well like a radio station?
Yes - subscribe to the channel and you’ll find other videos including taking callers
Hi how are you? How can I hook up the new roadcaster pro 2 with my ddj 800 mixer

Hi james, I've a pioneer ddj-1000srt controller and a rodecaster pro 2. Is there a video or tips on how to set it up so i can do my podcast shows?
Wow a comment from actual Ringo Starr? Who knew he could DJ!
Hey I really appreciate this video, but I am using a Pioneer DDJ- 100srt with the Zoom podtrak 8… any suggestions for that combination??
You can probably still apply some of the same principles. I'm not sure the Podtrak 8 allows you to auto-mute monitors. However, you can still route your DJ set up for live streaming or broadcast purposes. Just make sure you wear headphones if you're using a mic!
This is a great video (like all of yours James), but how do I get the pads on the RCP (updated firmware) to go over my VDJ?
The pads are on their own channel (the last fader) so they should be heard over anything coming in on any other channel if the fader is up.

The speakers I'm using have XLR inputs but when raising the level of the mic the music doesn't cut off. What am I doing wrong?
Does not make sense to me if you still want to mix music with the dj set up. How do you monitor your mixes without headphones on the dj set?
Great video James waiting for my Rodecaster Pro to Arrive from Santa lol. if you don't have a record out on you DJ mixer I have a Denon MC6000 Mk2 can you just use the Booth out?
Can you do one for the Rodecaster pro 2 please?
Do you recommend using a rodecaster pro as an external mixer for mobile djing?
No, it's not really designed for that use case. I'd suggest using a DJ mixer.
Are there only certain models of pioneer mixers that are compatible with the rodecaster pro ?
No, it was connected using analog audio cables - so same principles apply no matter what make/model of mixer you're using.
Hello James,this is very informative.

From what I can see on Google it looks like there are two master outputs - so I’d use the second for the rodecsster. There are Phono outputs - just like in my video, would have thought that would be fairly obvious?
@@AudioInsider_YT so the 2nd output main on srt1000 which is rca would go to the 3.5mm phone input for roadcaster ?
Also can you take calls via Bluetooth while the srt1000 is connected to the 3.5 on phone input ?
What kind of camera was this video shot with? Amazing video!
You can watch a tour of our setup here:
ua-cam.com/video/_GyHnPwcCEk/v-deo.html
I’m actually interested in a turntable setup with pioneer mixer and the rodecaster for online radio….thoughts?
Process would be the same - just connect turntables instead of CDJs.
What if the DJ is playing, but also he has a mixer and there are hip hop performers with microphones?
James, is that a new mixer from Pioneer DJ?
Can i come out the XLR to the mic input on the Rodecast
Yes, no reason why you can't use these as additional input channels. However, remember as they are designed for mics, they are only mono channels - not stereo, which isn't ideal for music. One way round this would be to use 2 of the mic channels (so you have a left and right). You'd just need to remember to raise and lower both of the faders if you did this.
And in Podcaster Pro 2??????
If mixer doesn't have rec out can you use booth?
Yeah should work - although sometimes booth has prefade so you might not want to broadcast that. Also sometimes called tape out or any kind of second output would work.
@@AudioInsider_YT so master 2 should work.
