GoXLR. Not looking for an upgrade rn

[@WillH_Tv]

I’m using the goxlr mini and rode podmic and no plans for an upgrade

[@MatsuXL]

I have a barrage of wave mic, goxlr, and beacn mix create. maybe I should sell them all and just go with this?

[@tombuck]

It’s not a cheap device, but when you add up all it does- it’s a crazy bargain! Plus the constant firmware updates just make it better and better.

[@levelupwithmikenewman]

I have loved the Zoom Podtrak P8 because of its smaller footprint as well as the 2 extra xlr inputs, 70db of gain. however the feature of being able to connect it to two separate computers is too good not to want to upgrade and their gain is boosted to match. Rode finally won me back after switching from the Rodecaster Pro to the Podtrak P8. Time to start saving again!

[@CamBeulGaming]

After watching your vid, I went out got it. It makes remote training sessions for work a breeze.

[@ulescano]

Congrats Tom! you are killing in this topic!

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

Beta 1.07 was awesome and I love mine. I upgraded from the RCP1 to the RCP2

[@paul_buttle]

Love to see you get recognised Tom! Love to see a Harris/Tom collaboration, both of you are amazing at explaining/reviewing anything sound/stream/podcast related…

[@BrettDeister]

One thing you forgot to mention with the space issues is that the Rodecaster pro 2 can use an arm. A monitor mount or something similar. So, you can take it off your desk. Also, the original was wider than this one.

[@Nerdshowandtell]

On the subject of size.. They freaking put vesa mount holes on back of this thing!! You can easily float it off your desk with a standard vesa mount arm!

[@marsgizmo]

Great video! 👏😎 I LOVE my RCP II (had also the first version)

[@blakepace]

I'm old enough to remember when this functionality was five feet wide and controlled my entire Radio Station (1996-2000). My station owner spent, at that time, about $35K on our Wheatstone board system. My wish list item: individual muting mapping: the two choices available as of 7-26-2022 are either line level out continuously, or muting monitors whenever any fader is up. I wish we could map Microphone faders to mute the monitors when potted up, but if they are zeroed out, and other inputs up, have the monitors playing, at a customized level. That whining aside, I LOVE my Rodecaster Pro II! I can now have two studios again, one with my original Rodecaster Pro for simple (hah!) Podcasts, and my II for Streaming and playing my Piano and making my mouth noise.

[@joseup_z]

Ngl I feel like this would be really beneficial for couple streamer setups. I’ve seen a few, but it’s a really interesting idea tbh. Imagine you have two people who want to share a setup, and they just have one interface for both of their microphones, and maybe even phone calls and etc.

[@audiomentor]

Regarding desk space: Don’t forget that the RCPII has mounting threads so that it can be put on an arm to float OVER your desk, if you want. 🤓

[@kcet1948]

If the price cost more, not worth paying.

[@NorthPointeSports]

Awesome!!

[@Moendos99TTV]

I always insta like your vids. As always, it's top quality. Just keep doing what you do!

[@SuprUsrStan]

"Submixes" are confirmed to be coming. There's going to be a routing table for output headphone / speakers and volume controls for outputs going to those outputs.. Another virtual output will be good but currently, Music output can be done via the second USB-C connection. You can actually have both cables go into the same PC. Lastly, yeah this thing is big. The best way to use it is to mount it on a mic arm, something like a Elgato wave LP arm it'll just be slightly above your table and you can swing it off the table altogether.

[@DJSpatula]

The ability to use two PC's is KEY! I really enjoy the GoXLR but I'm more than happy to upgrade to this device after seeing your review! Thank you for the review!

[@driftwoodpodcast1420]

Seriously checking this out for starting our podcast. Thanks for the review!

[@Palinkas_Cousin]

Love your videos! Keep up the good work

[@AsherWolfson]

FYI, the device DOES allow three sound sources from one PC, as requested at 10:45 ... it's done by plugging both USB cables into the same PC.

[@oumac]

thank you for the information ! =) but if you plug all the usb c to the same pc you also loose the using for a 2 pc setup

[@YourDriverMike]

My RCP is a beast I use it with a SM7B with cloudlifter. With the RCPII I like the larger angled screen (both improvements), built in voice effects, and sound pad arrows. Having a smaller desk I agree it’s pretty massive

[@shosanVT]

Would you run the RCPII with the cloudlifter when using the Shure ?

[@Crimson_Tinted]

Take that Cloudlifter out. It adds awful background noise. That preamp has more than enough power.

[@ee1yd]

@@shosanVT no

[@2guystalkingpodcastnetwork389]

Outstanding details here thanks for your initial review! That blue in-shot light is killer. Which lamp or light is that? Keep up the great work!

[@carterworo4467]

Your content has always been so awesome!!

[@dtebarrett]

I think a collaboration between a streaming focused company and an audio focused company would be great. RME have great digital mixer/interface software and I think if they did a collaboration with someone like elgato, they could very easily create the best streaming audio.

[@NorthernLaw_]

GoXLR vs Rodecaster right now Elgato needs to jump into the game and make their own audio mixer, if they team up with someone then sure but I'd rather them do it themselves and you know they will make one eventually, second they make a full size audio mixer I am buying it instantly, GoXLR and Rodecaster will be shaking in their boots at that point because everyone will switch

[@WhatsUpClouded]

I've been drooling over the Rodecaster 2 for a while, luckily my desk is huge, and my games aren't mouse movement intensive. Great videos, you have been my go to lately for gear info. Thanks, fantastic vids!!

[@ExtraterrestrialGaming]

Looks like a fantastic product, I'd love to get my hands on one. I actually prefer the larger footprint. Gives me a mental image of durability, and makes me feel like the moment to moment adjustments are more "manageable." That's all probably mental though.

This sounds like it would be much simpler to use for team streams. Or couples streaming. That’s awesome.

[@Detrucci]

Very interested in this :) TY for the video Harris

[@NikolaVojvodic]

Sound to me that there's something funky in the elgato add part. Great vid, as always! 🤘

[@Braekpo1nt]

This rocks! I can't believe they don't have more digital inputs

[@Yourmom-bl1yx]

Rode has always been a killer company but this just shows the level of care they have for their customers… legends

[@zjenji]

Great review, thank you!

[@brittany6429]

The intro was 👌Loved the extra creativity there!

[@Zadow]

I was planning on getting the first and and while saving the second one was announced, it really does seem like the almost perfect streaming mixer, not to mention multiple in and out Amazing for the price it’s literally like having multiple goxlrs combined it’s what has been needed

[@RickDeckardt]

Rode is amazing, best experience with a broken component support. The mic preamp in my AI-1 was acting up, the device got replaced in ONE hour. It was two years old, they asked for a sample recording and told me to pop by to swap it for a new one. Rode: YOU ARE EPIC NEVER CHANGE THIS. My brand of choice.

[@dougscott188]

I broke the USB port on my Rodecaster that was out of warranty and I sent it to them and the fixed it in two weeks for free. I was blown away by the customer support.

[@halcyonoverseer5340]

Great video as always, my guy!

[@justindirose]

I can feel the genuine hype for this device. Probably going to upgrade from the RCP v1 this year.

[@Lexlagger]

I actually like the bigger size and all the info and seporate sliders / controls. To much condensing can lead to miss clicks and accidentally triggering the wrong things. Rode killed it with this thing.

[@KwonFiveNine]

Yep!!!

[@breadkrum6860]

I own one and I love the size! Makes me proud to own it lol

[@PDXASM]

Do be aware: us early adopters (I used the OG Procaster for VO since Sep '19) have been experiencing issues with the pads being HYPER-sensitive, going off at the touch of your desk. Or off at random of its own accord. The preamps ARE phenomenal...

[@MattReportPodcast]

Having the same issue. Have you contacted Rode?

[@PDXASM]

@@MattReportPodcast Yeah, and they were less than helpful. They simply told me to talk to Sweetwater. I did, and Sweetwater had a new unit out the door to me in less than an hour, with free return shipping.

[@ee1yd]

@@PDXASM love sweetwater

[@fatseaturtle]

4:52 Harris your lighting and camera quality is so good. I can even see a piece of hair floating in through air. Nuts!

[@TooTallToby]

Nice job - useful tips and tricks!!

[@ItsGibsy]

I wonder if you could use the dual interface to snag audio from a PS5....

[@noahlauritano2443]

I'm sure you could!!!!

[@lyianx]

The lack of inputs is a pretty big drawback imo. But i do feel that could be fixed with a firmware update to work similar to the GoXLR. So hopefully that happens. Unless you mean physical inputs and not virtual ones. The submixes.. i would have thought they would have included as well. Hopefully, firmware update will fix that. The Size... I mean, i still prefer to have physical buttons rather than mucking with virtual ones like Becon one. I just dont see you getting that much control right on demand with virtual controls Ever without something physical. How much time does it take you to change what your nobs do on the Becon interface? and how much are you 'distracted' from your stream/game while doing it? I bet its not insignificant.

[@king_fuaaa9294]

LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!🔥🔥

[@DSazly]

Yeah I just got mine a month ago when just launch... Was also saving up for the first but now... I'm loving it... Great for my all rounder content creation. Between game concoles & PC, music recordings or streams, even gonna do a podcast with some other creators... Really amazing done by Rode and the constant upgrades... Put aside my Scarlett 4i4 and Beringer 802usb for this... It will last me another 4 to 5 years with this beast

[@Somtric]

Honestly, they could easily cut that size in half, the faders don't need to be that long and 4 buttons on the side would be enough for most really, so... yea, they could easily make a smaller version.

[@GearandGaming]

That's an awesome piece of equipment, but $700 is a lot to drop for audio. Not saying it isn't worth that much, but is it worth that much to me? I don't know if I would use the functionality to the point that would justify that amount of investment.

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

But you could learn to utilize the product in it's entirety. Which would keep you from spending more on a different piece of gear if you DID opt out of buying this beauty.

[@GearandGaming]

@@xxitz_pr0gxx631 True. But that assumes I'm not getting a lot of the functionality out of current equipment. I'd be spending money to replace what I already have. And true this is a better version of those things and likely would have some more functionality, but I don't know if that increase is worth the price. I'd love to have it, just can't spend the cost of a mid range computer for it.

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

100% agree on it being a little too much money. But if they continue to release software updates, like it seems they are going to continue to do, it could essentially be a little future proof which makes it more appealing to me.

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

Not to mention, it has ¼” inputs, so for someone who plays guitar and bass like myself, it's even more appealing.

[@realmarciomarinho]

Awesome review/showcase!

[@kyledeanradio]

When I worked in radio, we had the first Rodecaster for on-location broadcasts. I then used it to work from home at the start of the pandemic. It was awesome! Bummer that I couldn't keep it! This looks better though (as it should since its newer). Great video! :)

[@piranhaman1044]

Crazy how his mic quality still sounds shit

[@LOYLDOYL]

Just upgraded to this bad boy. Thanks for sharing your favorite features my man.

[@Luezclaps]

This device was a game changer for me. Even with a bit of audio experience I was having issues but this streamlines everything! Worth the price!

[@qoegenetics]

Love the subtle "Like & comment" plug in! Your videos are amazing as always! Great job

[@arkm940]

great review. i'm actually solid with the footprint. versus the larger rcp1

[@RonaldPostelmans]

Hoi. Nice video. Here you got your 😁. it looks really big indeed. Question, Do you use OBS studio also for video edditing and stuf like combining a audio stream from your mike and filming with camera together?

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

So happy you did a video on this. I love mine and use it everyday.

[@thescepterofjudah12]

The Vesa mount feature on the bottom will solve your space problem. You can mount it to an arm, to the wall, or to a stand that is off the desk. In terms of size and what it's marketed to do, I think the screen could be slightly bigger. But as I am watching this video, Røde has made several other similar devices that are much smaller and more simplistic than the Rødecaster Pro II. Awesome video, and review!

[@Chipt1982]

👍🏾 Nice straight to the point content

[@VicariousNick55]

I currently use the TASCAM Mixcast 4 and I love it! What are your thoughts on the Rodecaster 2 vs the Mixcast 4?

[@Destructiveworldgaming]

Love your content. Could you show how this could work with a gaming console set up? For example I stream on a box one S and from time to time a PS4. My set up now is a Rodecaster pro, Rode caster Mic, an older Elgato capture card HD60 S, Logitech C 90 1080p WebCam, and a Canon M50.

[@waquo]

Great video! There is one USB audio interface that I've heard of with two USB host connections, that's the iConnectivity Audio4c. It's a fairly plain USB audio interface otherwise with 4 mic preamps, 4 analog outputs and notably it appears to have 6 channels over the first USB connection and 2 channels over the second (half that in stereo pairs). You did mention you wanted a third stereo pair for music. It also has flexible routing and on-device memory to store it.

[@ErnestStevenson]

I love the sub-mixes idea! As a podcaster though I would love to see a couple more balanced inputs. Thanks for the video!

[@bruinscat]

Great video! It does look pretty large. I am wondering if they shrink the buttons, maybe just a bit larger than on a Stream Deck, and shrink the sliders, plus move the screen and dials to a more vertical position, kind of like the shape of an open laptop, it would take up less desktop. Anyway, thanks for the balanced review of an awesome looking device! Cheers

[@JiruubGaming]

The size is cool! They even give you the option to Mount it from the back to clear space on your desk. Try that out and see if that works better for you. I don’t believe the other interfaces have a mountable backside like the RCP2 has.

[@whatskraken3886]

The videos have been doing better recently. That’s nice to see.

[@likebliss]

Yeah that was my one gripe about the thing. Does it need to be that massive? Curious as to what your mic setup is in this video? Your audio sounds great!

[@hurtzdonut13]

I cant wait to get the this! i have the first model and its amazing... i also have it paired with the beacn mix create and works wonders!!

[@noahlauritano2443]

Don't get scammed by this scammer

[@SkullBoundTV]

Solid overview!

[@captredbeard2442]

Great video as always. So question is, Is this now the go to XLR audio interface vs the GoXLR? I use the Rode Podmic in combination with a Focusrite Scarlet and a stream deck. If I'm looking to go in for an upgrade, should it be the Pro 2 or the GoXLR?

[@jamiebirrane]

Hi! Great vid love your channel! I'm more then likely way too late to be asking this question but I need to know if you plug a USB type c to hdmi plugged into a TV can I get the audio from the TV out on the main mix through USB 2? I'm trying to find a work around for the lack of an optical port which is what I use currently with a goxlr mini

[@jessestanley2167]

Great video! Thank you.

[@Eddylive]

What's up, big fan, I have a mint rode caster pro 1 and it's fantastic, do you think it's worth taking the hit, selling it second hand then buying the 2? Is it worth the upgrade? Appreciate it.

[@cbdemented]

Answered my question right off the bat. I actually have to use an io24 for my studio, but a GoXLR Mini for my work computer. Don't really want to buy a second mic, so I have an XLR splitter. Definitely will have to take a look at this. Thanks Harris.

[@ScotyP]

Thanks for the info! Newbie here, so it is very helpful.

[@TheNewArtSchool]

⭐️ great video!

[@jphdznr]

Completely agree on the sub mixes. Definitely needs that. My workaround on the Mac has been to use Loopback from Rogue Amoeba Software. Sort of solves the problem. It’s a little bit convoluted and hacky though. But at least I got it to work.

[@titan6x]

Great video, I was looking at the Rodecaster Pro 2 as a replacement for my GoXLR for my stream, however the massive size is deal breaker as I am limited on desk space. Thank You so much ! 👍

[@artkarp]

Mount it on a mic boom arm. It is designed for that.

how are you not at 1 mil yet the content is amazing

[@brandonbrownmusic4544]

I always love your engagement pitch 🎙🎚

[@HeadSnapTV]

Updated episode anytime soon? Hopefully, Now that they have implemented some of the updates as you predicted. I am really interested in how much more or less you are using this device. How much better it may be for my own content with options for my Guitars. Seems like it does ALLOT but I do not see anyone touching on the Audio split features for routing into OBS and more.

[@MatthewMcFly]

Yes! I tweeted you about this. Glad you made the video.

[@ricechild]

I literally just got mine today for a podcast, that’s awesome to know what this can do for streamers.

[@Xobi9]

I’ve had this since launch, it was nowhere near as easy to set up as the goxlr (when I first got it) it since the firmware updates it’s a lot easier to route the audio I want for my stream. I also think the preamps make it sound way better and the headphones jack make my sennheiser sound great. I think the rcp2 will get even better over time once big streamers get reviews out like Harris, they will hopefully influence Rode on what is needed going forward. Overall I’m pretty happy with it, still learning it’s capabilities.

[@dipierrodoes2485]

I have one myself and I love it, but another improvement that would be great is routing for monitor out. I use it as my main audio interface and so it would be so great to use it when communicating over discord but also not have my voice or my partner’s voice through the monitors when using it as an audio interface.

[@MrRavez69]

if you are talking about mix minus/Audio routing for speakers then I belive they are looking to fix that soon. At least that's what I heard.

[@MinimoGaming97]

Was this marketed to streamers, or to podcasters? I feel like the features are very interchangable but if I was doing a podcast I wouldn't worry about the size. but for stream I would, and small things like that.

[@algrayg]

I agree with you on the submixes, but I think you can have what you want with the third "digital input" buy connecting a second USB cable to the same PC/Mac. On my Mac, I have three inputs and outputs when the RCPII is connected with both USB ports to my MBP

[@techtaxi7283]

Harris, have you done a video yet on the Roland mixer they've made for content creators / streamers?

[@phatadam123]

@senpai have you had any luck finguing out how to multi-track in OBS on Mac? I have an M1-Pro 16" and I have only been able to figure out how to take in the main stereo bus, and chat. I ended up just running discord, and spotify on the PC1 - - and using Mac Audio Capture in OBS to bring in the audio sources, then i bring them across PC1 Main -- to my headphones off the RodeCaster 2 - I would like to mix all the "outputs" into obs prefader. Hope your well - love the channel - and streambeats!!

[@VictorGonzalez-to2jw]

I was wondering when you were going to do a review on this unit. I am surprised it took this long.

[@Vitalyseabra75]

I have Beacn Mix create combined with focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with cloud lifter to drive Shure Sm7b also i using stocked DAC and headphone amplifier to drive my Sennheiser HD 800S. I just bought Rodecaster Pro 2 and now can’t decide what to keep, rodecaster which can drive my mic and headphones but have limited amount of controlled channels or keep my current setup with Focusrite with Beacn Mix Create, what’s your opinion?

[@duffyscottc]

Do you know of an OBS plugin that lets people stream from two different computers in two different networks to the same stream side by side?

[@effervescence5664]

Well this is basically the GoXLR with a built in Stream Deck so the size makes sense. The added features for the most common microphones are nice as is the dual inputs. It makes me wonder if the next GoXLR will be aimed at the Pro2.
