How to get the Elgato wave 3 to be mic 5 from computer to RCP2? thank you

[@mikamikalson7393]

I've watched several dozen videos encompassing probably 10 hours of time about how to use the Rodecaster Pro II but this 10-minute video literally answered virtually all my question in under 10 minutes. Absolutely outstanding presentation Andrew! You have a new sub. Looking forward to more of your content in the future.

[@mastiha]

If you plug your speakers in the speaker outputs, you also have a physical knob to control them. It’s the big one under the headphone knobs.

[@lucientaylor]

I thought that too. Is there some point about using the headphone jacks that I’m missing here

[@jaludwick]

I'm plugging my powered speakers into the speaker output on the RCP II. No sound. What Am I missing?

[@mastiha]

@@jaludwick you need to change the monitor output settings. Go to "Outputs" in the settings menu, then "Monitor" and uncheck the Auto-Mute option.

[@jaludwick]

@@mastiha Thank you. is the left or right ch. output on the RCPII mono. I want to plug it into Focusrite.

[@Jazmeyne]

Wow this was really helpful! Thanks!

[@ahmadtahlak]

Excellent illustration. Right on the spot and exactly what I needed to know. I have Rodecaster Duo and it is the same as Rodecaster Pro II settings.

[@Carte-Blanche-NZ]

I’m a complete newbie and your instructions are so well paced. Thank you.

[@JacquelineJax]

I just received my box today and I think your video was awesome. Thank you so much for calmly, explaining some key points because I will no doubt be frustrated within the hour.

[@HowiSpangler]

Excellent video!

[@audioteb]

The best vdo about rc2 i have watched...thx bro

[@CriticalBru]

The way you told us to buy the Dust Cover resonated with me, and i immediately purchased it haha.

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

Been waiting on this video from you. Great to have you back!!!

[@trunkzjr]

Love the video, hoping you'll make one for RODECaster Pro II + Duel PC Streaming Setup with 4K60 PRO Capture Card on OBS, nobody seems to have made a video yet for this combo setup, and i'm still trying to figure this out without having any problems.

[@the_politics_guy]

I am about to set up this same set up except I have a Razer external capture card.

[@Musive99]

Thank you, this was the first video I found on this device that was actually helpful!

[@xERRRAHx]

This is so helpful!!! I am planning on upgrading my audio/mic setup for my work (9-5) job and being able to do everything on the hardware and not need to download software is great as my work pc is limited in regards to downloading software. having the chat channel and separate adjustment is perfect.. so I can easily use this for my main jobs audio. but also very easily use for my personal uses and podcast/creator content.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:29 *👂 Plug headphones into channel one: Use channel one for headphones to properly utilize monitor buttons at the bottom of the mixer.* 00:56 *🔊 Don't plug speakers into mixer output: Connect speakers to headphone jacks for physical control using dedicated knobs.* 01:38 *🎛️ Set up sound pads properly: Configure each sound pad, assign unique colors, and utilize multiple banks for organized functionality.* 02:34 *⚙️ Optimize faders: Remove unused channels under faders, use physical faders over virtual ones for less clutter.* 04:09 *🎧 Use headphones for monitoring: Headphones prevent accidental simultaneous monitoring and muting, enhancing control.* 05:03 *🎙️ Set up microphone levels: Adjust microphone levels to stay in the green, avoiding red for optimal audio quality.* 05:33 *🎚️ Experiment with presets: Try presets like neutral, podcast studio, or broadcast before diving into advanced processing settings.* 06:29 *💾 Enable local recording: Plug in a storage card for backup recording without a computer, providing flexibility.* 07:10 *🖥️ Control multiple devices: Connect multiple computers to the mixer for comprehensive audio control, using physical faders for each.* 07:51 *💬 Utilize chat channel: Set chat as output for communication software, enabling separate control and monitoring of communication audio.*

[@redrument6678]

been waiting for your video on this

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

This was one of the most comprehensive setups I've seen for this machine. Well done. Thank you!

[@aniviamidd]

Amazing description on the entire product! Thanks so the explanation .

[@lucramedia7493]

Awesome content Awall! My company has a big shoot coming up for us, and just got the Rode Caster pro 2. Wish I could get some scenario specific info to know how you'd set things up! Not my expertise, but you definetely got us a good start on things to consider in the video. Thanks again!

[@prakeshbarolia-hi1jm]

Could you please do a full video of the rodecaster pro 2 Set up to usage where everything is explained Your very good for explaining new tech Thanks

[@radioprobromania]

How can i setup volume pad one by one ?

[@DroseMr]

Your channel is def gonna help wit this fricking mixer. Thank you

[@GirlfightClub]

Oh we just got one! Great to see an update video 🤗

[@BlackDragonNationalPresident]

excellent pro tips! Thanks!

[@DELIVERYTV]

I have had multiple compatibility issues with my Rodecaster Pro 2 and have decided to look for new options (not an easy task). Based on your experience, if you had to choose a console that is not from the RØDE brand, which one would you choose? Thank you!

[@beastlybombers]

Thank you so much. Love it. I wish to have a talk show where my friend, as the producer, would be at his home. I would be at mine. A guest at his home. And a caller calling in from anywhere. We are all communicating to each other when on the air or not. All of it being recorded and simulcasting it live to a radio station. What do you think. How would that be set up? Thank you so much. Please let me know what you think would be the best way to go about it.🙂

[@DroseMr]

Freekin awesom.THANK YOU. Got the dust cover

[@webalizer]

Thank you for the perfect setup video and great tips. Do most of these apply to the Rodecaster Duo? As it is essentially the same product and I don't need all the mic and line inputs, two mics in use maximum and I'm trying to reduce cost.

[@steward_your_business]

Very helpful - thank you!

[@the_politics_guy]

How do I set this up using a 2 PC set-up for streaming?

[@scarcorleon]

Did u figure it out?

[@vastpotential7713]

Nice job

[@choppergirl]

How do I plug 5.1 surround sound comptuer speakers into this (or 71. for that matter). Mine uses 3 head phone jacks of three different colros.

[@dorukaras]

Did you have any problems in Rodecaster Pro 2 Beta Firmware 1.08 version ?? Would you recommend this update or would it be better to wait? thank you :):):

[@alanfindlayviewfromtherock6200]

I'm a bit confused as to why you'd advise for the speaker monitors to be plugged into headphone sockets. Doing this negates the muting feature that is vital when using monitors. Interested to read the rationale here.

[@KannardDjMerkoutJohnsonJr]

thats what i was thinking you still will have a knob to use to control your speakers

[@johnjohnCDN]

What about using rode central?

[@profitpurpose626]

Great tips! Thanks!

[@ExpanderDJ]

Thanks for the help!

[@edzuskaukulis1577]

Thanks, very helpful😊

[@floridaclarinetstudio2338]

GREAT VID! Thx SO MUCH Bro!

[@theshadishow]

Hey buddy thank you so much for the info, but I would like to know what would use for 12 guest and mics? Thnx

[@sandstorm4026]

Do you have any insight as to why the sound effects on page one don’t work but page two does? Thank you

[@GideonStHelen]

All so helpful! I got mine a week ago.

[@LeedsBirdRants-d4m]

Hi Andy - great video! - at the beginning though you suggest plugging headphones into channel 1 - but then you go onto say plug the mic into channel 1! I'm confused 🫤

[@jwflixvideography]

Where did you get the different color windscreen for your mic!

[@LearnWire]

Thanks for the helpful video! Question, I know you don't need phantom power for XLR dynamic mics, but, I am seeing about half the time it is recommend on the procaster. I am going into a Rode Caster Duo. Do you recommend phantom or no phantom? thanks in advance!

[@claudioagmfilho]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Amazing video! Very informative!

[@hotPrayers]

Short and effective. Thank you for this

[@stockman214]

GREAT video. More please.

[@TheRaginghalfasian]

very helpful, thank you!

[@404notfoundXx-m5k]

How's the headphone latency ? Is it usable?

[@FullFrontalExposure]

Mine will be here tomorrow!

[@PapaAmerica]

Hi! Please can you help me, I have a rode caster pro2 and receiver Marantz 7015 and TV How can I connect together with microphone like karaoke for singing

[@PigTownSports]

what is the volume level for the mic input in windows?

[@wjlarsen]

With ALL the “review videos" of the RC2 this gem of a video puts them ALL to shame. It’s great to go over the specs and functionality BUT a real world, practical, insightful video like this blows them all away as far as value. MORE PLEASE! 🙂

[@ForSynthsSake]

Please, please how do I turn up the recording gain? it is way too low.

[@zayxkzakazeta-reborn749]

hi i hope u read this i bought my rode and pluged a dt 990 pro 250ohm into headphone 1 and my rode procaster into mic 1 but idk why i always hear myself when i talk into the mic but i cant turn it off

[@jswallet]

Great video. I cannot hear the sounds from the smart pad. How do I get them to play in my headphones? Also, were your sounds preloaded? My pad is empty. If I go to my sounds, from the Rodecaster screen, it looks there is a list, but I don't know how to access them to add them to the Smart Pad.

[@ImInFloridaBeaches]

Are you sure to run a line from your headphone jack to your speaker? Ive heard thats asking for trouble

[@k2icc]

Do I need to install drivers for it or those already done?

[@pavelavietor1]

I think my is broken, it do not internally record to the mini SD card , but it record to an external SD card. can you help figure out the problem. thanks in advance

[@mariusmocanrealestatephoto1378]

Love your tutorial. I have an issue setting up Procaster Pro II + Atem Mini Pro. Can't figuring out how to adjust the speaker volume (red & white cable from Podcaster Pro II into Blackmagic Atem Mini Pro mic jack input).... Please help!

[@steve-hart]

Thanks the video. My unit is on order. Re your suggestion that monitor speakers should be plugged into a headphone jack, will they still go silent when the mic is opened to avoid feedback? Cheers.

[@saifuddinhassan7615]

bro, I have my phone connected to usb2 as a podcasting device. My issue is the output to USB 2 is minimum no matter if I increase the mic or Bluetooth(playing karaoke) volume. Please assist me to increase the volume on USB 2 which Im using as an output/podcasting.

[@cjohnson913]

What 3d printer is that?

[@Yodesla]

cant use dolby atmos with the rodecaster pro 2 :(

[@CreativeNotJustYet]

I cannot find the chat channel when I am trying to change output on discord to chat channel, could it be because of that I use usb secondary and not primary? because primary does not show up on my computer when i try to connect via that usb-c port, very strange!

[@UrbanestLattice]

When can you do rode caster duo for gaming and streaming????

[@JohnLobbanCreative]

Help please? - I want to use “RODECaster Pro Stereo” on my MacBook Pro. - I see only ”RODECaster Pro II Main Multitrack” and “RODECaster Pro II Chat” and no “RODECaster Pro II Stereo” option. How do I fix this? I’m using this with Ecamm Live.

[@koenignero]

Honest Question, why would you use a Rodecaster when you can do everything with Software like a Mixer and VSTs?

[@randomstuff53078]

Can you loop a sample with no gaps

[@AldarockyBear]

I have a question. Can the rodecaster be used as an amp? Meaning, can I plug monitors in my desk into it?

[@jasonofassynt]

I have a problem! I cannot get any sound to come through to the Atem mini. I've tried every setting possible and watched every tutorial on KZbin, and I'm stumped.

[@MozartWoodsMedia]

I will like to book an appointment to set up my rodcaster

[@nikfialka]

So my Rodecaster Pro 2 has a weird thing going on. The record button turned blue and now I can't record. Any advice?

[@Therealtjackson]

Any comparison vids on goxlr vs rodecaster pro II ??

[@claeslundin5865]

Hello i go a question. For the secondary USB channel, does it need to a USB-c port on the computer or would it still work if i used regular USB port on the PC?

[@juergenschubert3247]

Great video. Just wonder if you came across the problem with Rodecaster Pro II Secondary which is configured to be used with Zoom. So Zoom speaker and mIc. With that config my MAC hac Rodecaster Pro II Main Stereo and my ecamm live is using Rodecaster Pro II Chat I cannot hear anything from ZOOM. MIC on Zoom is great but my inear monitor is on mute. Changing ZOOM away form Rodecaster Pro II Secondary works fine and the monitor is catching all sound. I have update the firmware today, so I should be on the latest one. Any idea how I can Rodecaster Pro II Secondary let the sound through my monitor. Any Advanced section I do have misconfigured?

[@nebagodwillawantu3309]

I bought some items and will like you to walk me through the installations

[@mso1758]

Bought mine today 2nd hand like new with bunch of cords and accessories for less than 1/3 the price. I have a long learning curve ahead 😅

[@frunction]

If you use the balanced/speaker output is there any way to control it with a fader or knob? I am trying to get away from using the headphone out to other devices like studio monitors or headphone amplifier because then you have a double amplified signal, and the equipment I am sending it to is much better than the built in amp.

[@T.E.D.Podcast]

Hey! I need help setting up my podcast I got all the equipment but hit a road block. How can I schedule a coaching with you? How to merge the video with the sound. How to do close ups fro the videos recorded.

[@JohnSmith-jk4zy]

I remember when you used to make the best swtor content pre-launch!

[@CreativeRamy]

great video and thank you! i just bought this unit. i will be using it for reaction videos and live streams with a guest, atm i have my studio monitor speakers plugged into speakers, and when i use streamyard for streaming recording, my audio e.g. playing sounds from pads or listening to a video on screen share and my guest audio from his mic comes in one same channel which i think was USB1 - do you think that is ok or would you suggest a different routing option please?

[@kevinsrandom]

So would I be able to set up a fader for music and Discord at the same time? I run a dual PC setup but the second PC just takes the mixed audio as one track. I'm looking to replace my GoXLR for something that has more flexibility and features. But I don't want to be super limited with control of software mixing like Discord, music and system audio. I've seen some other videos that make it look like a big drawback but this video makes it seem not that much of a drawback.

[@paleyosezi3122]

I hope those work because I'm having horrible ecos on mine. I found out RCP 2 pairs horribly with sm7b

[@RambergGG]

Great video, thank you :-) I have one question, Before I was using the GOXLR with multiple virtual interfaces. I am missing at least one but I could use 2 extra. I know there is a trick with virtual cables, do you have any idea where to look to find more information about it?

[@eirik1068]

The only way I have fixed this for now is by using both Bluetooth and the TRS plug into the headphones output to gain more devices when connected to a PC. But I have heard that Røde is working on in the next months to get us more virtual audio devices on the USB in/outputs when connected to a mac/pc. So this will probebly fix that issue ;)

[@thegeekentry]

do you know anything about dual pc setup (for streamers) for this god forsaken device?

[@thegeekentry]

maybe like.. a routing tutorial :pray:

[@uniquepromedia]

I noticed that you are using your SM7B with a cloudlifter and phantom voltage enabled from your RCP2. Do you feel that the RCP2 preamps are not adequate enough for that mic? And do you also feel that the CL doesn't introduce uneccessary line noise? I have the same set up, but I elected not to use my CL. Curious to know your thoughts.

[@BibleBreakout]

Cloudlifter isn’t needed - the internal preamps are great on this thing

[@uniquepromedia]

I’ve noticed a lot of line noise with the cloud lifter as well.

[@BibleBreakout]

@@uniquepromedia yea I have one on the rodecaster pro and it’s kinda noisy

[@uniquepromedia]

I’ve also noticed with my Shure SE215 in ear monitors a lot of line noise. I’m not using a Shure extension or 1/8 - 1/4 adapter (recently ordered), and I’m hoping I can clean that up with better supporting components. I love the RCP2, but I don’t think I’m getting the best possible sound out of it with my SM7B (likely because I’m still very much a rookie lol)

[@ocaguilar1]

Appreciate your howto video. I am currently updating the firmware and it's installing it now but it has been installing for over an hour. I have it installing via wifi. Does it normally take this long?

[@djames0852]

Each headphone jack is a stereo output . Surely , if you plug each powered speaker into a headphone jack , you will have a stereo feed to each speaker and therefore no separated stereo signal? 🤔

[@BrugudugTV]

How about a tutorial using Rodecaster to record an acoustic drum? I hope you notice this one. Thanks. Nice video though.

[@ScammerPayback]

no shade but why is the thumbnail with a shocked face?

[@AlmissaGaming]

I love you

[@ocaguilar1]

Anyone having an issue with the caller complaining of echoing? I've had different people call in and they all complain of hearing their words echo back to them....TIA!

[@ruffnecktv8420]

❤

[@FreerunMediaService]

Sorry? "pro tip put the speakers in a headphone jack"? An even better protip from a pro technician, put your speakers in the speaker output, You can control it with the knob on de desk and when set right, the speakers has a mix minus so no microphone comes through the speaker but the other sounds like music and effect do. Another protip, don't set your fader full open and compensate with the gain, it's more of an hassle when a microphone is too soft in level. The SM7b needs at least 60db of gain. Talking to bluetooth without being in the recording? Hit the pfl button on the bluetooth and your microphone. The button turns yellow and you can hear the bluetooth an talk to it. Sorry dude, those "tips" you gave are not pro tips!

[@HVRDLVLZ]

The thumbnail doesn’t make sense 😂 why the shocked face

[@norriehunter7436]

i cant hear my mic through my cans

[@TheStreetValue]

the fucking thumbnail makes me think this is a 12yr old's fortnite video 🤕
