I bought the Duo a week ago. It is very good, but it's a huge oversight that there is NO limiter and that the Master Compellor only works on the ENTIRE output (so it compresses the Desktop audio too which just doesn't sound right...) Since I like yelling into the microphone in my videos, I tried doing it on the Duo without the Compellor and my ears almost exploded. :( If only there was a way to have an actual Limiter setting or have the Compellor only affect your mic sound - the Rodecaster would be basically the best audio hardware for KZbinrs EVER.

Thanks for the suggestion, @RADALGANG, will pass it onto the team. The closest we have at the moment would be using the compressor on your tracks and setting the ratio to 4.5:1, but it sounds like you're aware of that method already!

As a content creator I beg you rode! Please implement these features. I just received my rodecasterduo today and now I'm considering returning it for a goxlr because of the following: 1. Can the RODEcaster Pro II control application level volume such as Spotify, Google Chrome, Discord, etc. using the physical faders on the device like the GoXLR can? 2. Does the RODEcaster Pro II capture sound on the fly that can then be replayed using the smart pads. (Like the goxlr) 3. From what I understand, the current RODEcaster Pro II firmware has a “Chat” software output similar to the GoXLR. Are there plans to add other outputs similar to the GoXLR such as “System”, “Music”, and “Game” outputs?
@rodemic Жыл бұрын
1. Using the RCP2 currently, there are up to five different channels you can use as inputs from different PC audio sources. Here's a quick guide to help you understand and use these existing capabilities: • USB1 Input: This input has two separate channels - "main" and "chat". You could route different audio sources through these two channels. For example, you could use "main" for your game audio and "chat" for any VoIP application like Discord or Zoom. • USB2 Input: This channel can be used for any other audio source that you want to separate from the ones routed through USB1. This could be your music or any other sound you want to bring into your stream. • PC Line Out: If your PC has a line out, you can use this as an input into the RØDECaster Pro II. This can be useful for routing audio that isn't easily directed through a USB input, such as browser audio or system sounds. If you've never used your PC's line out output before, it's an 3.5mm headphone-style jack which is right next to your PC's headphone jack. • Bluetooth Input: This allows you to route audio from any Bluetooth-capable device. In order to route these sound sources in Windows, you will need to go to the Sound Control Panel. Here's a quick step-by-step guide: • Right-click on the speaker icon in your system tray and choose "Open Sound settings." • Scroll down to "Advanced sound options" and click on "App volume and device preferences." • Here you can control the output and input devices for each of your open applications. You can choose where you want each sound source to go, whether that be the "main" or "chat" channel on your USB1 input, your USB2 input, your line out, or your Bluetooth input. There’s been a lot of discussion about this issue and we hear you loud and clear. We understand that you're eagerly awaiting the update that will allow the addition of extra virtual devices through the USB inputs. 2. Yes- create a new SMART Pad, and then hit record. 3. Yes- this functionality will be coming in a future update as previously mentioned.

Add a limiter and a *downwards expander* to these two devices please. A downwards expander is really helpful to attenuate moderate background noise and improve the audio signal even further. Currently, when the noise gate opens it's just open and there's nothing that attenuates background noise with a certain type of ratio. Push this to the team and make it happen, it will be huge for this product, an extra layer of noise removal.

So with the current configuration, you can connect your phone via the Bluetooth or USB2 connection, but you can't have more than two physical mic inputs (not inc. the headset) on the Duo. This means you will need to use your wireless receiver connected to the front headset jack (via TRS to TRRS cable - like the SC7), to use all four devices at once.

Hey Todd- the way the internal reciever is currently setup in the Duo and Pro II, it can only replace an existing mic channel. And although these devices now support USB mics like the PodMic USB, this support does not extend to the recievers of Wireless devices at this time. So not quite 4 inputs, although, if you had a Wireless GO II, and a USB mic like a PodMic USB, you could easily get 3 inputs.
