This update/format is super cool. I’ve been having an awesome time with the RCP2, but am super excited for all the ways it can expand. 😎

[@MasterTheNEC]

And he mentioned you in the update as well....:)...You Influencer You!

[@bobbtopgun]

Tom, It was great to hear your name mentioned. You do a terrific job with your very informative videos - CONGRATS on the recognition. Also, interesting to note that RØDE will continue to update the original RØDECaster Pro I.

[@bamikhaxfamily4395]

Hi tom Buck im a fan of your channel! Can you do a tutorial with RCP II & Atem Mini pro Iso.

[@alltoquiet7]

Honestly, so glad they focused on the gaming/streaming community. This thing is so powerful it could easily replace something like the GoXLR in a few updates.

[@JegErAlan]

Ahh, I see the guy whose video was the first I watched on the RCP2 and a major contributor to why I purchased it. :-)

[@AlexiBexi]

Really like what you are doing and how you are handling your community and users!

[@AlexOsTV]

I ordered one today because of you :P Greetings from Berlin

[@TommyPervan]

I'm glad you are doing this. I was so frustrated when I got the RCP II and couldn't use it for basic streaming/gaming things. I would try to push for two more things (I've been streaming since 2014 and a full time streamer since 2018). 1.- Make the USB 1 Input capable of having more than just 2 virtual channels. Main and Chat is great, but I need at least 4 channels to route my apps (Spotify, Browser, Game and System) like I'm able with the GoXLR, the Beacn Mix Create, Elgato Wave Link or Avermedia Nexus. I know that I can have a 3rd one with USB 2 but it just doesn't feel right to waste 2 USB ports for just one extra virtual channel, besides, it leaves me without the chance to plug something else to USB 2. There is no point to use USB 2 on the same device if USB 1 can be split into more than just Main and Chat, which I'm sure you can do with a firmware update... that would unlock some serious potential that I'm sure the RCP II has. 2.- If we are able to choose what goes through to our monitor outputs would be awesome. There are A LOT of situations in which you need music/game/system sounds going through but you can't do that because the mics also go through and cause a loop. These are the 2 biggest suggestions I have for your team, and I think all of us gamers, but mainly streamers, would really really apreciatte. Thanks for the info and hearing your users. Love from Chile.

[@IluzionGamerz1]

concuerdo o sea, I agree with u

[@truth_4lif399]

Agreed

[@DrDronez]

This. Simply put, all channels (in, out, mixed, and submixed) need to be individually accessible from either, or both USB ports.... Good example, I need my mic to go to my stream PC at a set level for chat, but I also need it to go to my game PC for in game chats and/or discord/guilded/etc...

[@ErfonElijah]

Couldn’t agree more. The only shortcoming I’ve seen so far with the RCP II is the lack of USB virtual devices on USB channel 1. Competitors offer more virtual channels and those are much needed for streaming. Would love to see more virtual channels offered.

[@rodemic]

Thanks Tommy, we've passed this onto the team!

[@SuprUsrStan]

Routing table confirmed in the works! Might I suggest headphone and studio monitor output as part of that routing table? I want to hear input mics in headphone but I want to be able to disable input mic sounds from the speakers to eliminate reverb and feedback.

[@KsaweryKarwacki]

Headphones output as part of routing seems like must have as in single user scenario you can just have three additional outputs for free

[@aaronmorrison2649]

I’d really like routing for the monitor speakers so I can have zoom calls on my mic without needing to wear headphones

[@BobbyBeemZ]

Wow Rode is an amazing company!! Thanks for the link I was very confident they would push out a routing table. And a question for you @SuprUsrStan, when your setting the gain on your mic there is a little PA48 symbol to turn on or off which is obviously phantom power, but also a 0 with a slash through it like in the background of this video. What is that exactly? Is that mix-minus? It’s almost sounds like a noise canceling feature in my headphones when I engage it. Also I’m still having trouble hearing the voice effects on my own voice when engaged. I did before the update tho

[@thenickrodriquez]

@@aaronmorrison2649 yes!

Amazing work and huge congrats to the entire Rode team! 👏😎 I love my RCP II

[@pallibj]

I totally agree :)

[@techpro68]

A company that takes feedback from users, communicates frequently, openly shares roadmap, and delivers on its promises. Bravo!

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

Would really appreciate a dark mode for the unit where the lighting and screen dim and/or turn off until re-interacted with. Would also love to be able to control direct monitoring mic muting via Stream Deck. If we can access processing controls via the app then there should be a way to control muting thru windows to program into the Stream Deck.

[@daprincehwc]

you can set the dim time on the RCP II, I also don't like the brightness so I set mine to dim in 1min, you have different time presets.

[@asquelt]

@RODE Yes, please add remote control! I know my apps levels (ie. my radio app is notoriously too loud) and I want to adjust the faders at the press of the button on my Stream Deck (even if faders are not motorized, I don't care, it just allows to make a whole macro at the press of one button!). Do we need a petition for that to gauge the interest?

[@uspatrick1]

I really appreciate the focus you all give to user feedback. The routing table will be fantastic. I love the RCP2 but that’s the one piece missing, and finding a workaround has been challenging. Thanks for the quick solution.

[@DocRock]

Amazing work. We here at Ecamm and our community love you guys. Thanks for making streamer and video content creators lives easier. We really appreciate it.

[@JegErAlan]

I’ll be using my Rodecaster Pro II mostly with Ecamm, as I did with my original Rodecaster Pro. Great hardware with great software. :-)

[@Mitauchi]

Here is Rode showing how to do things right! Not only are you guys super responsive to your clients but you are putting out responses and updates in a clear digestible way that we as content creators genuinely appreciate! Thank you and I hope every hardware and software company in the industry stands up and notices how you support your products and those that invest in them!!!

[@NateNakao]

My unit hasn't even arrived yet, but I'm suddenly so glad I've ordered it! I was initially bummed because I sold my GoXLR already, but this update changes the game for me! Thank you so much!

[@modernmakers]

Thanks for doing this, will certainly help your customers better understand what they can do with Rode products and what's to come. Looking forward to watching regularly.

[@AirlinersLive]

Very tempting! Would love to see what improvements this unit could add to our weekly broadcasts!

[@yinYangMountain]

Dear RØDE developer team, Wish List - 5 band EQ with: FREQ - GAIN - Q - Limiter for setting max peak dB. So, for example: -3dB, -6dB, -9dB, etc. - Scenario: Imagine having a live podcast using, say, the low-cut, de-esser, gate and EQ. But the multi-track is set to only record selected effects, say, the low-cut and EQ. Thanks for listening to the community, yYM

[@nightrunner2005]

Thanks ! This was helpful & looking forward to more !

[@MadRC]

Fantastic update. This video made me order the Rodecaster Pro 2. I can’t wait for it to come now hearing what’s also coming.

[@VictorVedmich]

Very cool format! Waiting for the next interview

[@PiotrKonieczny]

It's a shame, that there is no real time / zero latency monitoring :( There is a slight but noticeable delay when monitoring own voice on lower volumes. Quite a few people noticed the same issue. I hope it can be fixed.

[@LucasKrml]

Seconding that

[@rachidfinge8601]

Yes, this was quite disappointing after the unboxing.

[@vivamoment]

It would be good to hear from the Rode Development team whether it is even possible to address this in a firmware update or whether it is locked into the hardware design. For instance, I would be thrilled to turn off all onboard audio processing (if that were necessary) just to have zero (or near zero) latency monitoring in my headphones. That way I would hear the beautiful RCP2 pre-amps working on my beautiful microphones in pristine monitoring, as opposed to this unpleasant slight echo. Please Rode respond to this to set our expectations of what can and can't be done. Note that I contacted Rode Support regarding this issue since I got the unit on 16 June, but the ongoing correspondence indicates that the front line support staff do not appreciate nor understand the issue.

[@PiotrKonieczny]

@@vivamoment I have also submitted a ticket, and sent audio sample. No response with solution yet 🤷‍♂️ I simply cannot believe this wasn't spotted by Rode earlier.

[@vivamoment]

@@PiotrKonieczny I simulated the slight delay using my Sound Devices MixPre; I plugged my microphone and headphones into it and then slowly turned up the input delay for the microphone. At 0ms delay it was great, but at about 15ms input delay it sounded exactly like the RCP2. Of course 15ms is only indicative and hardly a scientific measurement, but interesting to note that the MixPre only goes up to a 30ms delay, so the RCP2 delay is very noticeable, like a slight echo.

[@JegErAlan]

Sounds like an amazing future. Thanks for confirming the wisdom of our purchase. (And thanks for continuing to have updates for my original Rodecaster Pro.)

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

Thank you for these kinds of updates. Overall, I'm very happy with my RCPII but I do have a few issues. I just started this video but I'm hoping some of my concerns get addressed.

[@DJ-Stevepressman]

Hi guys, I think this is a brilliant idea, I wish more companies had the initiative that you guys are doing right now and keeping us all informed of what's coming up. I want to be really cheeky now and ask, although I haven't seen the video through to the end yet if I could have a preset for my wonderful RØDE NT2-A microphone. As I've tried all the other settings, Including the NT1-A and the normal generic condenser microphone setting. None of which seems to get the right sound that I'm looking for, for my NT2-A. Can we please have the Rode Central App like the Rodecaster Pro Software used to be and you are able to access all the individual microphones, and output setting via the App? Not all of us have 20/20 vision and the numbers on the RCP2 screen are quite small to deal with and view. Also, I loved the way I could store any setting and parameters on the PC and load them in as required., Yes I know I can do this on the RCP2 but again using the app would make life easier. Last but not least as I use my RCP2 setup as a home Radio Studio, the ducking is important for me, can we have a setting that can adjust the amount of control of ducking that is used by either a +/- or an adjustable DB setting as I am not sure the one size fits all current ducking level is what I would like to have mine at. Last but not least thanks for bringing the Future into my life at an affordable price, I was a huge fan of the RCP1 and now I am totally in love with the RCP2 and can't wait to see what is in the pipeline for it. Many thanks, guys, great show and keep them coming!! DJ Steve

[@LucaDePazzi]

Thank you guys for this updates. The streaming community is superthankful =D We needed a routing table!

[@The610Problem]

Just got one off Amazon last week! It was an amazing upgrade and I loved the original! great job gents!

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

A couple of issues: - if I set Outputs -> Multitrack -> USB to "Post-Fader", the volume levels are indeed controlled by the RCP2, but the mute button is ignored. That has to be an oversight in the firmware. - according to the specs using multi-track, I'm supposed to have 16-track multitrack out and 2-in. That's not how it works. Once I start using multitrack, it either stops passing sound on the Main or the Chat interface. One or the other, not consistently. - the lack of a full manual really makes it hard, as some of the menus and settings are not quite as intuitive as you'd think. - the lack to of routing (customising the output mixes) is really a must. - there are a few quirks with bluetooth connectivity, that really need to be documented. - sometimes an audio channel is unresponsive after starting the RCP2 and a restart is needed. (I'm on firmware 1.0.3 now)

[@julesapatini5670]

I agree 100% with Emerald A. When setting up Bluetooth output, everything has problems working for me. It does, then it does not. I had to reset then it got better. Now it is back to not working correctly again.

[@squatingdog]

Thank you for helping manage expectations of those using your products. Excited for the stream update before I switch over from my GOXLR

Brilliant work, people 👍

[@Xobi9]

Great update lads, I’ll be honest I thought I bought the wrong bit of kit for (streaming/gaming) but can’t wait for the update to drop so I can get the pc2 into my rig. Pat on the back from a small time streamer 👌👏

[@truth_4lif399]

Same here, that's why I bought it for

[@TonyJacobsenUNBREAKABLE]

This thing is awesome! I've been a music producer and DJ for many years. As I started to get more into streaming and online content creation, it's been a weird game of compiling all the right elements to get the sound right using gear intended for live performances or studio work. The RCP II IS the all-in-one that I've been looking for. I've tried so many mixers/recorders, etc. over the past few years, and this surpasses them all. Finally, I can focus on creating as opposed to the 'technical' side of things, in all aspects of my work and creativity; live and streaming! Thanks for this, Røde! I'll have my list of bugs coming soon as well as a wish-list (which I'm sure will be quite short). Can't wait to see how this piece of equipment evolves!

[@AymanAhmed]

Any future update for RCP1 it would be great to have chat mix to it

[@SteveWisey]

Super excited to hear the news about the road map addressing some of the streamer concerns. The RCP is already a beast and that will push it over the top.

[@Wakapedia]

I love you guys. Thank you so much for all the streamer and content creator love!

[@Budapestfm]

Appreciate the update! Super enlightening! A pdf user guide would be most useful.

[@dharmageek3732]

Can you guys cover how to use both the RCP1 and the RCP2 together at the same time?

[@alltoquiet7]

I'm very excited to see the updates for the gaming/streaming community. Routing Tables are a MUST now with GoXLR and Beacn doing. I love the RodeCaster Pro II but I have had to use my Beacn Mix Create with the Rodecaster, which isn't ideal.

[@ImOcktor]

Hey RODE Team! You've done a great job and a wonderful product. I just want to let u know that some people are really interested in having Expander option despite the fact that u already have Noise Gate in Rodecaster PRO II. Expander works a bit softer and makes sound more holistic. Thank you in advance! Regards.

[@rachidfinge8601]

Hi RØDE, here's a specific radio feature request: for radio professionals, the button above a fader often functions as a trigger. Today, thanks to your MIDI implementation, this can already be closely mimicked, but there are two issues: 1) When you press the button, not only do you trigger a MIDI command, but you also get the channel's settings on the display, which isn't what you want. It would be great if there's an option to make channel settings only appear after a long press on the button. (This would also lower the chance that an inexperienced user changes settings by accident.) 2) Currently, only one button can be active at the same time, e.g. if you press the button above fader 1, it lights up, then if you press the button above fader 2, it lights up too, but the button above fader 1 turns off. For radio, and I presume better DAW compatibility, it would be great if multiple buttons can have the on state simultaneously. Thanks for listening, you rock! 🎸

[@clemradio]

Would be awesome indeed. Some sort of Radio Console mode and the buttons above the faders would work as ON buttons. Also It’d be great if somehow they managed to implement ON-AIR light, maybe via USB or through computer so that when a mic fader is raised and the channel is on, it triggers the light for per example Yellowtec MiKA arms.

[@asquelt]

to make it more intuitive - there could be a MIDI icon on touchscreen. when enabled - any buttons are sent to MIDI, but ignored by Rodecaster, when off - the other way around. This way it would be possible to fast switch between two states and functions: DAW minion vs. standalone console.

[@clemradio]

@@asquelt great, but in radio it would still be great to use mute and solo, as well as audio signal. I think, to keep your idea, that if such a switch between MIDI and audio was ever to be implemented, we would need to determine which buttons get only midi and which only audio. But I still believe we'd need an ON button to trigger MIDI actions above the USB fader(s) but also above mic faders just as ON/OFF.

[@PBWMedia]

I have never used an audio mixer before (I think that's the right term), bought the RCP II as I'm an avid watcher of Tom Buck's channel and he loves the RCP and I wanted to level up my audio and beyond. As a newbie I found it so easy to set up and use within hours I went live with it. I'll be very interested in how you can switch scenes with the Smart Pads. The streaming software I use is quite new, EVMUX, and they are working on this ability, so I think I'll have a play with OBS to try it out, saves me buying a deck stream :) . I've gone a bit OTT this week and also bought the PSA1+, which arrived today, and the RodeMic which arrives tomorrow. I can already see the quality of the PSA when I compare it to my £20 unbranded arm, it looks good too! Keep up the awesome work guys, I've only learned 5% of what the RCP is capable of but I'm looking forward to learning as I go. Cheers Paul

[@forestgreen6542]

Great update! As was mentioned, RCP II is based on Linux internally , So on my wishlist would be RCP II working on Linux based systems too.

[@georgemcgeouch5121]

Hello guys! Incredible piece of powerful equipment and I am enjoying using this great unit. I enjoy the pre -fading for multi track and post fading is exactly how you hear things in the channels. I was wondering, I want to also use this Via amateur radio putting it through another mixer! Hope we can improve with that side of the Rodecaster…

[@gravitymediapro]

My Rodecaster Pro IIs USB 1 hasn’t worked from day #1. This is verified with two different computers, cables and with latest firmware and software. Unable to connect to Rode Connect. A search online reveals I’m not the only one. I’ve tried several erase and resets. The interesting thing is when attempting to change audio I/O on a Mac, USB 1 appears as “virtual.”

[@rodemic]

Hey there, just confirming you're trying to connect to RØDE Connect with your RØDECaster Pro II?

[@gravitymediapro]

@@rodemic My apologies on the typo. Rode Central. USB 1 is completely dead. I’ve tried using the same cables / connections from USB 2, moving to USB 1 - no luck. This is with two Macs (M1) and iPhone using the official Rode cable. I’m yet able to connect to Rode Central, even with USB 2, but audio passes to the computer on USB 2.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

For streaming, one single "broadcast stream" mix would be amazing. Really impressed with the Rodecaster Pro 2 but it's certainly a bit fiddly to get right for streaming at the moment - routing multiple audio sources into one mix

[@corvortman3728]

I use the behringer X-touch compact for my broadcast software, so for the midi, music/jingle's ect, it works fine

[@MasterTheNEC]

Create an XLR to USB Adapter for the Mic 1 through 4 Input so a USB MIC can be used is a wish list.

[@AlexJongman]

Is there also an API for Stream Deck-, Loupedeck -... plugins / an external app for the RodeCaster Pro II?

[@clemradio]

That’d be sweet!

[@AnthonyGoodley]

1:22 You say that it has no limitations. Correct me if I'm wrong here on any point. 1) It's lacking a full audio routing table such as what the GoXLR has. 2) It's lacking submixes. 3) It's lacking an optical input so that I can plug my PS4 Pro's audio output directly into the RCP2 like, you guessed it, the GoXLR has. 4) The RCP2 needs way more than 3 audio devices, to be able to properly route audio among the many various possibilities don't you think? My GoXLR has 5 audio devices. For a device meant to also target Gamers, and streamers, those are some major oversights IMO. Once #1 and #2 are fixed via a software update I'd consider buying a RCP2. Of course #3 can't be fixed via an firmware update and will forever be a negative for me personally. Hopefully I can find a hack to get optical translated into something that the RCP2 accepts. Hopefully #4 cant also be fixed via a firmware update. Otherwise this hardware iteration is a hard pass for me. I'd really like to buy a RCP2 to either replace my GoXLR or use it in conjunction with it. But for it to be a replacement it has to be at least as good, if not preferably better than the GoXLR. As a live gaming streamer so far it fall short for my wants and needs.

[@MasterTheNEC]

I notice that USB 1 in StreamLabs Streaming Software will not play audio, it has to be on the USB Chat in order to work. In the OG RCP it was fine. Any thoughts?

[@thomaskihr329]

Great content and very informative! I would love to see a short video on how to use this unit for simple music recording/production. Why? Cause I think this unit could have the abilities for many of us searching a small unit for recording ideas, or even songs with a small setup (e.g. vocals, guitar or keyboard, eventually a drum track via usb or line in). I personally would buy the Rode immediately if I could use it for singer/songwriter recording, if I could assign different reverb settings to more than one Chanel, or EQ channel 1 and 2 and e.g. Chanel 4. Really would love to see such a short video. Cheers!

[@clemradio]

Feature request: please consider making the RODE Central app available for Linux! As well with the whole RCP compatibility. That'd be sweet. I've seen a lot of interest for that under Tom Buck's videos. I'm not the only user.

[@asquelt]

I think it will come with remoting support. Don't forget that RCPII now is properly networked! So I imagine they'll open up their API once ready and it can be easily integrated not only with Linux, but entire universe of IoT - imagine ESP8266-powered LED ring on the microphone lights up once you move fader up! There's so much to come! Can't wait!

[@eugennachtigall]

Many Thanks. Do you plan to implement VoIP? Is it possible to do remote interviews without a computer directly from RCPII to RCPII?

[@clemradio]

Would be cool

[@DavidFosterVlog]

HELP! My RCP2 is stuck on the INSTALLING 1.0.4 screen. It says not to power it off during this process, but it has been on this screen for 15 minutes. I am going to have to try to reboot it manually. Wish me luck!

[@jimhall1131]

@Rode Would it be possible to shorten the names as they appear in the OS, such as RCP2 Main, RCP2 Chat. With the current implementation, in some software, particularly Discord, you can't tell which input/output is which since they are too long and the names get truncated. This results in finding the right input/output a guessing game of trial and error.

[@rodemic]

Thanks for the feedback Jim, we will definitely suggest this to the team!

[@olivermannherz]

[@cayman2010]

I’m one of those content creators that’s both on social and logged into live radio. Can’t wait to get mine!

[@OldDirtyRobot]

Please allow RCP2 to assign "virtual" inputs like Game, Chat, Music, etc. to different sliders so it fulfills the promise of an all-in-one audio interface. I felt a little misled on my purchase. It's fantastic for podcasting, but I was hoping that it would replace my go XLR. Edit: Thank you!

[@henixworld2075]

Exactly I hope that the update will arrive very quickly, otherwise no interest for content creators, given the price of the rodecaster pro 2, keep the GOXLR which is better and cheaper! otherwise people will send their rode back.

[@Mindset4Excellence]

Are you asking for USB1, USB 1 Chat and USB 2 to be assigned to a physical fader position? If so, you can reassign the faders to use the virtual channels via settings. Disregard if I misunderstood your comment.

[@ArcadeMasters]

These KZbin videos are super great and useful, might I suggest a discord server as well so you guys can more directly communicate with the community and such?

[@informedialive2169]

[@snukzi3297]

great, full audio routing confirmed. I like that

[@michaelwincott]

The killer upgrade for me would be the ability to assign Spotify to Fader 2, Streamdeck audio to Fader 3, Chrome to Fader 4 etc. I’d never need any other piece of kit.

[@KsaweryKarwacki]

You will be able to do that even without update. Assuming that you are using single mic channel, you can currently pass 6 stereo signals (3 on usb, BT and two line ins bundled in stereo) and attach them to faders

[@michaelwincott]

@@KsaweryKarwacki Thanks for your reply but I’m not sure that works. These are all audio sources on my PC. A similar approach would be what PC Panel does or Beacn mix create. Would be nice not to have to use these extra accessories to control individual levels of these sources.

[@KsaweryKarwacki]

@@michaelwincott I understand but the concept behind those two are complete different. Beacn is about virtual channels you don't have physical input/output it's just a nice hardware controller for their app (it won't function without it). Rodecaster is physical mixer where you set mixes based on physical inputs and outputs so you don't need app or even computer to work with it.

[@michaelwincott]

@@KsaweryKarwacki umm, I think you’ve made my point for me. But cheers!

[@RJ-vy4yd]

@@KsaweryKarwacki Roadcaster Pro II from the very beginning is advertised as a perfect device for a couple of different users' types including gamers/streamers. That feature is basically the core one and a must have for that use case scenario. Without it it's not a device for gamers/streamers at all. If I already have all those different sound sources on my PC (game, discord, music, browser, etc...) just let me use them separately and assign them to individual physical faders. It would be really dumb to require me to send them through physical channels first. Then also let me to decide which sound goes to which output aka a proper routing table. If Roadcaster Pro II is anywhere close to be as powerful as they tell us to be, there is literally no reason not to expect that functionality from it. The hardware is already there, now we only need software that would make it happen. Not seeing it on launch was a bit of disappointment but I'm glad to hear it's been worked on already. If it's implemented well I might actually consider buying this device. Looking forward to it.

[@NerdNest]

Please look at the Beacn mic and GoXLR for routing and submixes, and copy those implementations.

[@jrit2559]

Great work! It would be nice to be able to tie shortcut keys to the sound pads - this way FX and other pad functions can be more in reach on a keyboard, game pad or device like the stream deck.

[@NathanAllenSax]

Is it possible to trigger mixer actions or effects using a midi foot controller?

[@rodemic]

No, the RØDECaster Pro II is what's triggering, so other external MIDI devices can't be connected directly to RCP2.

[@BlairPurvis]

I need to know what was mentioned at the 20min mark. I use Audition on Mac. I need discreet outputs from RCP-II going to separate tracks in Audition. All I’m getting is the stereo mix across all tracks in Audition despite mapping to the individual inputs. Desperately need help.

[@snap-n-shoot]

Just installed the ASIO drivers for the RCP II and tested with Adobe Audition. Meter on the RCP ll is good with Podmic at +55 but when recording the audio in Audition the audio is very low and the audio fades in and out. Any recommendations on settings please?

How will the audio routing table affect the current mix minus? It seems like the routing table allows you to do the basic usb mix minus plus a lot more. Maybe it is an "opt in" advance feature akin to the voice "depth, sparkle, punch" -> advanced settings.

[@AnotherPrankCallShow]

When recording in multitrack, is there a way to apply voice effects to individual audio channels on the multitrack output? If not, this is a much needed update.

[@DannyBrownPodcasts]

It'd be great to get some on-board support for more audio optimization/repair. One thing I noticed about this video is there's a few instances of mouth clicks, so to have the option to remove that in-recording would be great.

[@ErnestoAcosta]

Guys, there is no way to get the audio from the Rodecaster Pro II out of my iPhone even with the SC19 cable. In other words, I can hear the audio coming from the iPhone on the Rodecaster Pro II, but if I do a Twitter Spaces for example, the audio from my microphone or the sound pad does not come out through the iPhone.

I have an issue with connecting to my wifi it keeps telling me that my password is incorrect but it is correct. Just to give more info First letter is Capital letter last part is a Number No Special Characters can someone please help me figure this out

[@paleyosezi3122]

Tom Buck made it to be mentioned in actual rode personal channel. On the other hand Tom Buck is everything Rode the only he's missing is Rode shirt or a price tag. Don't forget to update Tom Buck firmware as well, we need Tom Buck 2.0.

[@clemradio]

Haha yeah

[@404creators8]

I really wish you guys would have added more XLR inputs to the new unit.

[@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

a mouth declick should be implemented as well. It saves post.

[@beyond2809]

Mine arrives tomorrow and it is going to be used for streaming and podcasting, but also for karaoke!

[@jbbiunno]

Hi @Rode! Very exciting to hear about custom mixes to the USB channels, but what about custom mixes to the headphone outputs and the Bluetooth output? Is that something possible and/or being developed? The Bluetooth one is a biggie. Really need a way for the caller via Bluetooth to hear a custom mix, not the main mix. Thanks for all you do!

[@JassieKECG]

Hi Guys, I had my original Rodecaster Pro connected with studio monitors and the sound output was not that great. For that reason i switched to an audio interface. Can RodeCaster ProII drive drive a set of Adam Audios with lossless hi-fi audio?

[@Leaa1111]

I'm having problems with hearing loud air feedback if I have the volume level above the 2nd mark. If I turn it down too low I cannot hear my voice. Please advise! (The air is not from a fan or a/c)

[@GamerJlee]

Question, how would this work with a dual PC set up? I know that the product is still relatively new, but I haven’t seen anyone explain how or if that is able to be done.

[@Glitch-ug7fn]

Here are some of my feature requests to build on top of what you are doing… 1) To go with the routing table it would be great if on a smart pad you could enable back channel talk but not have to include input 1. So I would be the host on input 1 and hearing guest 3-4 (on input 3-4) having a side conversation over the talking me and guest 2. Here I could hit a smart pad and let them finish and then pop them back on without effecting the main mix. 2) Integrate native support for plugging the Wireless Go II receiver and getting two new inputs to assign transmitter 1 and 2 to separate faders. Giving me 2 more people (or up to 4 maybe using both USB) and more control with processing. 3) An update for the Rode Central app (or in the unit directly) where we can drag and drop smart pad entries to other smart pads so I can rearrange without having to clear a pad and re-setup on a new pad. Additionally being able to insert a page or re-order smart pad pages would also be very useful. Thank you guys for all your hard and amazing work!

[@GypsyStacker]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@enderpiyale]

I am facing an issue whether it's my fault or not. When I connect my phone to Bluetooth caller hears her sound back. It's like mix-minus is not available on Bluetooth channel Any idea?

[@Drewsdays]

HAPPY Roadcaster Pro 1 will continue to get support

[@krismcgr]

So where is the Audition walkthrough guide you said you were going to push through in the user guide? I needed this yesterday, I NEED to get this to work properly asap

[@rodemic]

Hey Kris, as Julian mentions this will be released very soon. In the meantime, you can learn more about recording in multitrack here: rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro-ii/recording-and-exporting-audio#:~:text=software%20or%20DAW.-,Multitrack%20Recording%20via%20USB,-The%20R%C3%98DECaster%20Pro

[@poetparrot]

Is it possible to connect the rode Videomic NTG as an mic input to the Rodecaster Pro II via one of the 2 USB ports ? If yes, how ? Please help me out.

[@rodemic]

At this stage no, however USB mic connectivity is on our radar for future firmware updates. You can connect your VideoMic NTG via the 3.5mm TRS cable to VXLR Pro adaptor if you want to use it this way!

[@mattwruff]

So I'm using it to do a Podcast and a Video Talk show (2 separate gig's). So for the Podcast Version 1 was fine but there was no clean live output. For the Video Talk show, I will feed the LINE OUT/Monitors to the 1/4" input in my FX3 because the ATEM doesn't have that clean of audio input. I would like to be able to press a button to see output meters. But other than that I think this is all I need it is talking some practice because I was so used to the first one.

[@TheWatchFrogs]

Amazing

[@linkingboy3234]

Is it possible to plug in the the rode go 2 to the rodecaster 2 via USB and be detected the way it shows on rode connect as separate channels?

[@rodemic]

Not via USB at this stage. You can connect the Wireless GO II via TRS cable and our VXLR Pro Adaptor for use with the RØDECaster Pro II

[@michaellee7774]

Any Extendef Memory to add Music-Beds on the Pads. I have the RCP 1 which is Absolutely Brilliant. I use my 4CP for Live Radio. Is it possible to use two of the Mic Faders as separate Channel's for CD Players?

Could you assign rotary encoder to virtual channels?? If it allows us to navigate between virtual channels/main out in each press to adjust the volume level, it would be fantastic for all! Currently it works only between main out and bluetooth speaker when connected. Thanks.

[@AliSatchu]

Here’s a question - I tested on a video call - used slack/Skype and teams and in all cases couldn’t figure it out. How do I set it up so that the video call is not sending echo or feedback to the participants on the video call but at the same time if I share my screen and play an audio or video file that they can hear the audio from the computer as I can in my headphones.

[@rodemic]

Hey Ali, you might find this section of our user guide helpful: rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro-ii/a-guide-to-setting-up-usb-connections-on-the-rodecaster-pro-ii#:~:text=USB%20Chat%3A%20The%20USB%20Output%20for%20Communications%20Apps

[@stanycastillo007]

Hello Roadcaster people I’m in love with the new Rodecaster but i will like to see the ducking volume getting lowered a little bit more

[@Bluesonthewater]

well i have rodecaster one --just got rode caster 2. and am not getting any sound out of my monitiors i did the 1.0.3 download and thee central download i did get low sound out of my headphones pluged in to the output from the1/4 inch monitior out on the back--- can you help me i have already did a reset---

[@NateCochrane]

At 4:25m you say that only those channels the user wants to record in Multitrack will be laid down. How?

[@summer86viva47]

Hi all, does anyone has the problem that saved recording in SIM card has no sound? And the speaker icon in the touch pad has a yellow cross on it ? Thanks

[@rodemic]

Hey there, the speaker icon in this state indicates that you don't have anything connected to the line outputs such as speakers. As far as why you may have no audio on playback of a recording, we would suggest checking your computer's audio outputs, also whether or not you had the mute button on the selected channel. If you're still stuck, we'd suggest reaching out to our Service Team: rode.com/contact

[@lagarde72]

The maximum monitor output level on my RCP2 is quite a bit lower than on my RCP. Is this configurable?

[@MasterTheNEC]

Question....what does the ON/OFF do at 25:33 of this video. I see yours is off but mine is ON but not sure what it means...it is next to the RODE "O" symbol.

[@noimdaveman]

It definitely has something to do with sound. I did a test and the frequencies change noticeably when it is on and off.

[@MasterTheNEC]

I also tried it On and Off...and the ON makes is sound better. Just not sure what it means as they have it OFF on their broadcast so I was wondering.

[@rodemic]

Hey there, great question! The "Ø" symbol is a phase invert switch, that adjusts the polarity of mics - this can be particularly handy for multi-mic mic setups and musicians.

[@MasterTheNEC]

I have it on with my PodMic...Harm or Effect Anything?
