Hiss and Noise FIXED // RODECaster Pro feat. ATEM Mini

[@braxtongilbert]

I don't comment often on videos. This tip earned yourself a new subscriber. I was ready to spend the whole night on this project, and you solved if for me in just a few minutes. SO glad I found yours!

[@niconcaraman]

You made my day! I’m very happy it helped and I could help 🙏🏻💯

[@davidhoffman8458]

THANK YOU!!! I was racking my mind trying to figure it out. Problem solved!

[@niconcaraman]

Excellent! I'm delighted it did help and the problem is solved !!!

[@grad-dd9zj]

the mic inputs on the athem mini (pro/proISO) can be used for both, direct mic input and for example a mixer or some other preamped source like the rodecaster pro (I+II). if you use it for direct mic input you switch to "Microphone" or "Microphone + Plug in Power (normal)" and if you use it as input for a preamped source like for example the rodecaster, you switch to "Line" where no additional amplification is needed because it's done externaly. The setting "Microphone + Plug in Power (normal)" is used for certain plug-in microphones without it's own battery supply, which you directly plug into your camera (newer/current cameras are able to provide plug-in power over mic-input) like for example the "rode video micro" and "rode video mic go". these microphones are drawing power (normally betweed 3VDC and 5VDC) directly from the camera to be able to work. However microphones with their own battery supply like the "rode video mic pro and pro+" don't need external/additional plug in power, in which case you should use the regular "Microphone" setting on your atem mini (pro/proISO). btw: the setting "Microphone + Plug in Power (normal)" has nothing to do with phantom-power with +48VDC supply for microphones which may require phantom-power.

[@niconcaraman]

Thanks for that very well explained 🙏💯🎉

[@CTKvideozpravy]

Hello, plug-in power is exactly same thing as phantom power. It its 5V to power JFET impedance converter in cheaper unbalanced condenser microphones. Phantom is 11 - 48V to power impedance converters (preamps) in better mics. Truth is, that is not directly compatible, but is possible to convert it (ussualy not efective).

[@niconcaraman]

It’s my pleasure 😇🙏💯

[@PaoloBacchi]

Thank you, this really is a breakthrough to the problem, although I have to admit that on some recordings, in fact practically all of them, the background noise continues to be heard, albeit in a much more attenuated form, is there in your opinion a definitive solution?

[@niconcaraman]

I really glad it solved your issues, I know exactly how it feels 😅 I agree, it doesn’t go away completely but at least is not distracting and annoying! Maybe trying invest in better cables would make the noise floor even lower ✌🏻💯🎉

[@danielchilive]

Great video. I had the same problem, and the hiss went AWAY when I disconnected the RCP2 from my computer USB. Line level on the Atem Extreme didn't fix the problem for me. However, what DID work was connecting a Bluetooth receiver via 3.5mm to Atem Mic 1, and the RCP2 connected to the Bluetooth receiver as a speaker output. Very little audio delay using this method as the receiver I am using is BT5.0. And to keep the Bluetooth receiver charged and working for hours on end, I had to connect an external USB battery block to it...I could NOT connect any USB charging cable that is connected in any way to the rest of the system. So somewhere I think there's a grounding issue.

[@niconcaraman]

Thanks for the in depth explanation of your issue and I’m delighted it helped ✌️💯

This is what i looking for thanks for the tips

[@niconcaraman]

Glad it helped ✌🏻💯

[@ThomasDeWeerdt]

Hello, Thank you for this video! For me, the solution did not work: My ATEM is set to line, but still there is noise. When I connect the same (non-cheap) cable to my Sony A7S mic input, there is no noise. When I connect the same cable to my Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus, there is noise (I assume they have the same 'bad' preamps or circuit). So somehow, there seems to be a problem with the ATEM Mini minijack inputs / pre-amps, in combination with cables (no matter if they are cheap or expensive).

Thank you

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

I'm hearing this sound straight from the headphones on the Rodecaster. Any idea why? Some mic inputs were worse. Some mics were worse.

[@niconcaraman]

Try and isolate the problem by fixing and replacing the cables, then try a different mic! 🎙️

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

@@niconcaraman Different cables don't make a difference. I have condenser mics, like AT 2020 which are fine, I have one shotgun condenser mic that's ok, I have one shotgun that's very noisy, and lav mics that are very noisy. However, when I plug these mics into the camera directly, they are all clean.

[@GuitarQuackery]

Well, you clearly shouldn't be using the mic level input when you have a line level coming from a mixer or audio interface. The mic level should only be used when you have a microphone plugged straight into the ATEM. There's nothing wrong with the ATEM. You simply have to do what you just did, which is to select the line level input when you in fact have a line level input coming into the ATEM, either from a mixer or from an audio interface. The mic level is internally set to more gain (because mic level signals are lower, so they need more amplification) which in turn means that it will amplify all the background noise (which is always present).

[@AnthonyShaughnessy-u7l]

When I do this, I can still hear the same noise when I connect a Rodecaster Pro to the Atem Mini...I have spent hours searching for a fix, bought new shielded cables, bought a geound loop for the unbalanced audio lines... nothing works..any help would be hugely appreciated at this stage. ( It's that exact sound but not as obvious after switching to line input. )

[@niconcaraman]

I'm sorry to hear you still have this issue...Honestly what i can only think about is to change the Y cable again and if it still persists than try and move the Rodecaster to a different side of your studio. It clearly interferes with the electrical cables I would think..

[@AnthonyShaughnessy-u7l]

I found the culprit, a dodgy XLR cable going from the Rodecaster to the mic.. 5 hours later 😅

[@niconcaraman]

@@AnthonyShaughnessy-u7l Well done! I'm glad you finally figured it out 😅💯

[@Bryanacevedo20]

It didnt give me audio in the video when I made this change.

[@buckheadlifechurch]

Thank you so much! It works amazing

[@niconcaraman]

I’m very happy it worked 😃💯

[@vladimir.cheslavovich]

I have Rode Videomic Go and plug it in Atem Mini and have that awful noise. But because this mic needs external power, I have to put "Microphone + Plug in Power". So I can't do anything with the noise

[@niconcaraman]

We’ll I think because the video mic go is made to be used with cameras and not plugged in other devises maybe this could be a reason why you’re getting the annoying noise 😏

[@Ptpop]

I changed the settings to line and the noise is still there but very faint. Any suggestions on how to fix?

[@niconcaraman]

Try and restart the Atem and your computer and try again. Check if the changes took effect. Otherwise change the cable. It should fix the problem now.

[@mikaelspetz]

The hiss will still be there because this is a known design flaw on the monitor out on the Rodecaster Pro. According to Rode support the Rodecaster Pro was not designed for live-streaming. Which to me seems really strange. The line input on the Atem Mini Extreme ISO just attenuates the signal in line mode. If you look at a recording with a software with a spectral view like Izotope RX you will see the hiss although less, you can also turn up the volume to hear it. That’s why you still hear the noise. A hum/hiss isolator might help. Having both the Rodecaster Pro and the Atem Mini Extreme ISO connected to usb c to you computer can also contribute to the hiss. There are rumours of a Rodecaster Pro II coming out and hopefully they have fixed the monitor out problem. On the same token the preamps in the Atem Mini Extreme are not very good either…

THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVE IT

[@niconcaraman]

[@daanothoff]

This solution seems very obvious. The Rodecaster signal you are putting into your Atem is at line level. Not microphone level. Obviously you would have to configure the inputs accordingly.

[@niconcaraman]

I agree, if you know and understand how it works than it’s easy and straightforward! Thanks for your input 🙏💯

[@Rohambili]

Could be a lights cable or monitor or something power cable...

7 minute video about one click! Use quality power bricks and this will save a lot of problems. Doesn't mean that the quality once comes with your equipment. for 100% check use separate battery source. Cheers!

[@joreacts7411]

I have switched the option and I hear no audio from the mix any suggestions?

[@niconcaraman]

Try and restart the Atem and the computer! Also make sure you save and then restore the Atem settings. All the the settings need to be restored every single time you switch it off and on! I hope that helps ✌🏻💯

[@joreacts7411]

@@niconcaraman how would I save the settings? I have already updated the firmware for it

[@streetgospelpodcast]

Did you run into any sync issues? I get rodecaster audio to come through on my Atem mini pro recording but the voice is about 1 second ahead …

[@niconcaraman]

I hope you’ve fixed your issue. You need to delay the audio in the Atem software.

[@elmontro882417]

thanks man good video

[@niconcaraman]

Thanks @Alexandel Soler 💯🙏🏻

[@FelixDamian]

It doesn't work for me, even with line, and it is crazy.

[@niconcaraman]

Try and restart both Atem and computer! Check again Atem settings. If it still doesn’t work change the cable for a good one.

[@ronaldjacobs8169]

It is the USB cable in the Rodecaster PRO.

[@niconcaraman]

No! I don’t use the usb from Roadcaster pro with Atem mini at all. The USB from Roadcaster Pro is only for connecting to the computer. Check the link in the description for the audio cable I use ✌🏻💯

[@ronaldjacobs8169]

@@niconcaraman Ah okay? It's just that I also have a Rodecaster Pro and yes, with the intention of using my Rodecaste pro online, and for that the USB cable is really needed. But I have that annoying noise when the Rodecaster gets warm and that can be heard in every recording. The solution? I remove the USB cable from the Rodecaster and the annoying sound is gone, I connect the audio output of my Rodecaster to the audio input of my Prof X 12, which is also a PC Interface via USB and there are no disturbing sounds.

hey Nicon, really fixed the hiss sound but when I activated that option then the audio will not record. I have a Atem Mini Pro ISO an for the audio I'm using a rode caster pro 2. but when I hit record with the option you gave in the video, the audio does not comes together :/

[@niconcaraman]

All I can say you should check the levels on the ATEM mini as there are a lot of knobs. Try and restart the computer and check tutorials on installing rodecaster pro and Atem. It’s strange you’re having this issue but I’m hope it’s some levels are down. Let me know how you get on!
