[@ronaldjacobs8169]

Hi Walter, I really like everything you explain here, and yes, I learned a thing or two from some of the things you say about the Rodecaster pro 2. But I have also had this Rodecaster pro 2 for a while now, after my previous Rodecaster Pro 1, which I still enjoy using, and preferably together with my Rodecaster Pro 2, which is connected to my Rodecaster pro 1. with my Apple I-mac PC, and yes, I also learned a few ding dongs in the meantime. Look: Like me, you also have a Rodecaster Pro, and just like me, your Rodecaster Pro also has a Line-IN, and the Rodecaster Pro 2 no longer has a Line-IN. I like to use the Line IN of my Rodecaster, for example, to connect it to the "Stereo Audio OUT" of my "Tascam DP-3280". And in this "Tascam DP-3280" my E-Piano is connected, as well as the TV and some microphones that I really like to align in Stereo. And now all inputs of my "Tascam DP-3280" are completely full. Now I have a problem. I actually want to connect my TV and also my E-Piano together with a microphone to my Rodecaster Pro 2, but for the TV I need at least one Line-IN, and the Rodercaster Pro 2 no longer has this Line-IN and that is Shame. Now I can probably hear you thinking out loud: "Wait a minute: THE Rodecaster Pro 2 does have Line-IN, even 4 Line-In if it wants." Yes, I thought that too before I bought the Rodecaster Pro 2 before I watched a lot of videos on KZbin like yours to learn from, and there I learned that the 4 Microphone inputs of the Rodecaster Pro 2 can also be used as a Line IN if I select "Line-IN", that's what I did. Guess what? For good stereo sound from my TV, I have to use two inputs in the Rodecaster Pro 2, for example inputs 3 and 4. I cannot use input number 1 because it is for the host's Mic, and after that I only have 1 input left, namely 2. I can still plug in one vocal Mic there, but no more E-Piano because an E-Piano also has two Stereo-OUTs and these cables therefore also have to be plugged into a Stereo IN, and my Rodecaster Pro 2 only has one input left, but I need two for my E-Piano, so there is one shortage. I can also combine the inputs 1+2 into one stereo input that I can then operate via slider 1, slider 2 then no longer works, great, then I can certainly use slider 2 for something else? No, that is not possible, because there is already a cable in input 2. Then let me align Inputs 2+3 in stereo and operate them via one slider, in this case this will be slider 3, and I can no longer use slider 4 for anything other than, no, that is not possible because slider 4 is already there is a cable. Let me then combine sliders 3+4 into one stereo IN, which I then have to operate via slider number 4, slider number 3 then no longer works, and using it is not possible because there is a cable in it. So in this way I have sliders in the Rodecaster Pro 2 that I cannot use because they are used in combination with another slide and I cannot use the non-working sliders for anything else, and all inputs are occupied. Wouldn't it be better to have the option to use each of these four inputs of the Rodecaster pro 2, one by one, as a Stereo-Line-IN? So the TV, (in stereo), in input 2, my vocal microphone in input 3, my E-Piano (in stereo), in input 4, and in input number 1 my mic for the host. Wouldn't this be great? This is unfortunately a dream, because this is not possible with the Rodecaster pro 2. And I think that is very unfortunate. Do you think RØDE couldn't make that? Because that would be much better if this Rodecaster Pro 2 could also be used by musicians with stereo music instruments. However, if Rode cannot do this, which would greatly disappoint me, then RØDE can make me a new Rodecaster Pro which, just like my Tascam 3280, has 32 channels and 20 sliders, of which you can use 8 of these sliders as a mono input that you can transfer over two sliders can be operated and can be aligned and used in stereo in 2 channels each. There are also 12 sliders that you can use per slide, in stereo, preferably all with effects, and preferably also Bluetooth for a wireless Bluetooth stereo connection for my phone for calling and for music, and all via Microphone Combi -In microphone inputs, and preferably also with one or two USB C ports for an IN+OUT Stereo + IN and OUT data connection to PC and internet. Do you think RØDE could make this? I wonder, but I will be very happy if it works. And I'm sure, I'm not alone.

[@harm7602vicount-Visconti]

Jeeez what a looooong video…

[@truestpain]

Would you be able to live stream through an iphone while it is connected to the rodecaster 2 while you're doing a multi-cam recording? I dont think the cameras could be transferable to/through the iphone but could the iphone be its own camera while you're live-streaming and picking up audio?

[@ezzel-bendary8762]

Hello, Thank you so much for this interesting video as i have just one problem, which is that the RODE SC15 is reallyyyyy short so is there another alternative? waiting for your reply, Thank you for your interest.

SC-19 is the longer version!

[@poppie327530]

Great video....I followed your video, hooked up the iphone, and everything works great. I'm routing Discord into RCP2 via the chat/usb1 channel....is there a way for the chat channel to hear the output from the iphone and talk to the person on the iphone as well?

[@waltjennette]

So if I understand correctly, you want Discord to be able to hear your phone conversation via the RCP2 but do you want the person on the phone to be able to hear what's going on from Discord?

[@poppie327530]

@@waltjennette yes Sir

[@axume100]

Do you know if there’s is any splitter that charges at the same time that it’s connected from the rode aster 2pro to the lightning?

[@adampalmer1720]

Great video! Thanks for making this. Quick question, I noticed someone else making a video using the iphone 1/4 input jack on the RCP2. Are there any strengths to that as far as sound quality goes. I also noticed when doing bluetooth it's a little tinny. Are you finding that too? Thanks!

[@waltjennette]

I'm going to say the only strength is the amount of headroom you'll get. The one thing I hate on the RCP2 is that they removed the 3.5mm Jack. While you can still boost it pretty good on the bluetooth channel, you'll get even more gain going in with this 1/4 input. You may want to check the settings on the Bluetooth channel and boost your gain or change the EQ.

[@terilhenderson5913]

If you’re using Bluetooth can your rode mic give it audio if your recording because I’m have a hard time connecting the sound to the phone

[@prophetodelin]

Great video bro. I subscribed. Can you do a vid on OBS vs ecamm

[@JaKrish]

Question! I want to record a simple video using iPhone and the audio from RCTP. Using Bluetooth, I can get audio from the RCTP but can’t get the effects (echo and reverb) with it. They’re there, but SUPER quiet in the mix. Even if I crank the echo to MAX, it’s still barely audible on my iPhone video. Would this problem be solved with the RODE cable? The Apple cable doesn’t work.

[@Vanderful_life]

can you livestream, use video recorded while iphone is connected via bluetooth ?

[@waltjennette]

Yes. Because I use the iPhone to mostly run music in the background, it works perfectly whether you're recording or livestreaming.

[@Shreditor]

6:53 have you played with the sc19 yet?

[@waltjennette]

What's your setup?

[@TomasTruchly]

Hello Walter. How about Clubhouse? because i remember when I got on stage, i couldnt use external soundcard anymore, it has been disabled within application . But using 3.5 TRRS JACK was just working you know. IPhone didn't even know it was connecting to Rode. it thought is was connecting to headphones and Microphone. And TRRS was N-1 which I have seen on Rodecaster II as well. So the question is whether RODE SC15 cable is equivalent to ANALOG Jack or not. :) Thanks a lot.

[@waltjennette]

Using the SC15 or SC19 will be better b/c it's a direct connection versus having to use the adapter. It will work perfectly with Clubhouse.

[@ebonysmith3607]

How about an adapter from the stereo output that would then be converted to a 3.5 mm then of course to a lighning to 3.5 mm?

[@waltjennette]

For what purpose? You can do that.

[@WillieCarpenter17]

Okay question: so with this bud Bluetooth or even with the cable, and I was using my iPhone 13 as my soul video…will the quality of the audio be as nice when I rewatch that video, I’m trying to build my channel up with music production live or recorded jams…sorry if that doesn’t make sense, I’m learning, I got my music gear drum machine and synths and I am in this process where I need a mixer in this case I want this beautiful rodecaster 2 which does everything and more as I go, but I don’t have a separate camera, I only have my iPhone currently.

[@waltjennette]

So I’m not sure if you’ve seen my most recent video but you can use your iPhone as a webcam so the quality will be pretty good. And yes, the quality over Bluetooth is just as good and the Bluetooth channel has processing on it if you eant

[@cayman2010]

Can I use the SC19 cable? Seems that’s the one I need for the iPhone 13.

[@waltjennette]

Yes you can. It’s the same cable as I mentioned except longer

[@mando_Kristina]

I want to know can I connect my iPhone to the road caster pro 2 to use it as my video camera for my podcast show because I get better video quality with my iPhone then I do with my video camera.

[@waltjennette]

Yes you can. Check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIXFlXp6a6yUoKs

[@KingofTheHillPodcasts]

I’m trying record a podcast with video. I have the rodecaster 1 not the 2. with TWO mics. If I connect my iPhone for video with the cable will both Mics simultaneously be the output for the video? so I don’t have to struggle to syncs the audio and video clips together in a software?

[@waltjennette]

Yes. On the original rodecaster, you can output all inputs to your phone so it should be synced.

[@MadaAtoms]

Can you use rodecaster for audio but record and sync that video real time with iPhone?

[@waltjennette]

Yes. You just need to connect the iPhone to the RCP2

[@HeyBob-O]

Can I record to my iPhone using the rodcaster pro 2 as the audio source?

[@waltjennette]

Yes you can. Once it's connected, you're good to go.

[@RaphaelsKnicksPodcast]

What about connecting ITunes to Rodecaster Pro 2. Is that possible?

[@waltjennette]

Yes. So on your Mac you would set your computer speakers to Rodecaster Main, which is what we call "System Audio." And then you would see the music playing on that USB 1 channel.

[@punknugget561]

Hi, Is there a way to directly connect your iPhone to the RCP2 to be able to record your livestream call, or are you just relegated to using bluetooth connection to make that happen. I ask this because using Bluetooth connection, at times there can be vocal delays where it can miss the first 1 or 2 seconds of the person speaking on the phone each time they speak from time to time. I was thinking using a USB C to Lighting cable I think would prevent that and get a cleaner and better recording. Let me know what you can please if there is some kind of workaround on this. Thank you.

[@waltjennette]

Sorry for the delay but hope this helps! You can connect the RCP 2 to the iPhone directly with the USB C cable. You just need a USB C to Lightning Cable.

[@TAYLORWTF]

@@waltjennette I've tried multiple cables and multiple iphones and can't get the microphone from the rodecaster to the phone. Are you sure this works?

[@ladmandiola8868]

For those of us that desire to have livestream phone calls connecting to the RCP2 and have issues using Bluetooth with our iPhones connecting to the RCP2, I tried many different cables to hook up to the RCP2 to get direct connection (which to me would be far better than wireless connection). The SC15 cable you're using will NOT be able to do livestream phone calls. The solution? Just purchase a 1/4" Male to 3.5mm Male TRS Stereo Audio Cable on Amazon and it's only $5.99. I was even on the phone with RODE's tech support staff to let them know about this and they were very excited to hear this, because they didn't know and were looking for a solution, as many people have been requesting help with that. But make sure you ALSO have the Apple 3.5mm to Lightning adapter to connect to the 3.5mm male jack and insert the 1/4" jack to one of the 4 mic inputs and that's it, you're done. Hope this helps.

[@waltjennette]

So it’s weird that didn’t know but in Rode’s own video, it’s says you can only use Bluetooth to make phone calls due to the iOS protocols. It’s not a rode issue. So just like you said, definitely will work with the method you described just like Air Play in a car. Hopefully, they can adopt the same tech as AirPlay to get it to work over USB

[@survival960]

Hmmm I tried your suggestion and tried out calls from different rooms in the house and still could not hear the call in my headphones. Any idea why this may be?

[@ladmandiola8868]

@@survival960 when it comes to Bluetooth I’m not using it so I wouldn’t know what to tell you. The only thing I would probably say maybe because you’re using Bluetooth and during a call, it might block out possible sounds, who knows? I hope the other wired method that I had explained works well for you. I actually tried several different cables, and they work OK, but not as good as a custom-made cable and that’s what I did for myself and there’s absolutely no hiss or buzz at all and Records perfectly.

[@survival960]

@@ladmandiola8868 thanks for the feedback. I tried your suggested method with a different cable and it seems to have worked but tomorrow I will run some tests to ensure it is giving me what I need. I need it for livestream presentations during which I wish to accommodate calls.

[@ladmandiola8868]

@@survival960 you right now you’re going to get the cleanest recordings if you use a high-end double shielded cable that is custom-made. Better than anything you can buy online. But if you can make it, I would definitely look into getting Gotham cable and using Amphenol connectors. I can tell you right now I am getting the cleanest recordings and they hear me very clearly through my microphone like I’m talking on the phone and it’s even cleaner so it’s better on both ends actually. You can never beat direct connection with cable. But you already know that anyway.

[@waltjennette]

So there are DB's on the screen but they're small and hard to read. On your inputs, are the Pre-Fade or Post-Fade? Because you won't be able to save a multi track recording on your iPhone, then you'll need to get it all right within the RCP 2 before pushing that out. Also, make sure your output levels are high enough.
