    The RODE NT-USB Mini is already my favorite usb microphone for my Mac mini M1, and the RODE Connect app adds even more functionality to this mic for FREE. RODE Connect is an easy way to record a podcast, voiceover, or other types of vocals, with support for multiple microphones. The app features powerful and intuitive effects to boost your audio. Here's a walkthrough and tutorial on how to use the RODE NT-USB Mini, RODE Connect, and RODE Colors to record a crispy, professional podcast on a budget.

    Thanks for showing off the app, Ben! The mic sounds fantastic! So cool to see that podcasting resources have come a long way!
    I'd love to see Røde add a limiter into this app, which would prevent peaking those audio levels. Had that feature in an old Roland R-05 recorder and it saved my audio a bajillion times over! Especially with guests who don't/can't monitor their own levels or who otherwise are clueless to production.
    Also looks like the app records to one unified file, and doesn't record also record for each mic individually? (That's my preference, for ease of editing.)

    • @b3naqua
      @b3naqua  3 роки тому +1

      Good Q! I’ll have to mess around with the app more and see what it does for multiple mic recordings. I def agree about the limiter as well! That would be an awesome and logical effect for the app to have.

    I agree, RØDE Connect is a huge upgrade to the NT-USB Mini. Almost a RØDECaster Pro killer, provided that you don't want to have an incoming phone-call or use the routing features of the RØDECaster Pro II, for example. But with a simple set up, It's amazing how much money you can save by just using this mic and the software, or even audio filters in OBS which can be a great help for USB mics in general. An excellent piece of software, especially with the APHEX processing. [EDIT]: Yes, the audio quality is excellent also. A great microphone!

    • @b3naqua
      @b3naqua  Рік тому

      Agreed! It's a really incredible mic, esp considering the low price point and software functionality 👌🏼

    Great review, can the mic get hooked onto any boom arm or do I have to buy a specific model? because it seems like the base is too short

    • @b3naqua
      @b3naqua  3 роки тому +1

      Yes - once you take the magnetic base off, there's a boom arm/tripod/etc mounting thread on the bottom of the plastic piece under the mic

    @blueridge8992 2 роки тому +1

    Greta video, thanks. Do you happen to know if the NT Mini stores the Limiter and Compressor settings when it’s connected to another computer that doesn’t have the Connect software installed? My Shure MV7 does store the settings but now I’m looking for something portable.

    • @b3naqua
      @b3naqua  2 роки тому

      I’m not sure about that, but I’d imagine if it’s hooked up to a computer without Connect installed, it would probably use the default sound settings

    Hi there. Thanks for the video. For this video what app have you used to record the voice? I'm don't know why but when I use the Logic Pro X my voice seems to be low. Any recommendation for that? Thanks again.

    • @b3naqua
      @b3naqua  2 роки тому +1

      I used Ableton Live to record the audio. In Logic, try adjusting the mix audio gain until the volume is louder, but not clipping. You could also go into Mac sound settings > input > increase the mic gain.

    Anyone know why my NT mini stopped working after installing the required newer firmware (2.1.1)? I have had the exact same issue with 2 NT mini's now. With my first NT mini it stopped working right after installing the firmware, I thought I received a faulty product so I shipped it back to the retailer and received a new one. The exact same thing happened after installing the same firmware update. Anyone know about this issue? I can't seem to find anything about it online.
