Rodecaster Pro 2 & Shure SM7B | Setup & Demo

[@richardbrian9821]

This combo with an O.C. White ProBoom Ultima Gen2 is phenomenal.

[@noahlauritano2443]

I have sm7b and rcp2 Had previously the rcp1 with cloud lifter and sm7b The rcp2 is just lovely

[@kettnercreative]

The deeper you go, the better it gets.

[@Snook_YT]

Thank you so much. A lot of help!

[@CatherinCooper]

Thank you so much for these videos. Setup is the part that made me procrastinate on starting my podcast in the past.

[@pickingthenose]

Great video! Please make one for Shure MV7 mic and Rodcaster pro 2

[@kettnercreative]

Thanks for the comment, we'll add it to the list.

[@pault135]

@@kettnercreative any thoughts on the profile for the MV7? or was there a video for it I missed?

[@Montieyt]

I was waiting for this video. I was having an issue on Windows where if the Volume for the Microphone is set at 100% it is very distorted regardless of where the fader is set on input 1. There's no documentation anywhere showing what that level should be at. I did reach out to Rode and they state that at 50% Volume for the Microphone volume setting within Windows is Unity along with the notch towards the top on the rodecaster pro 2. So I just set the Mic Level in Windows to 80% and manually use the fader on the rodecaster pro 2. It auto defaulted to 100% by the way. Hope this helps someone it was driving me nuts.

[@Montieyt]

Let me know what settings you guys use, I'm currently using both the Rodecaster Pro 2 along with the Shure SM7B. I'm just a normal user trying to get the most of these devices.

[@BurakCankaya]

i have same issue man, i guess we need to keep at %70 output on windows right? is this your solution ?

[@murphymotownman]

Very informative video on how to set up the Shure SM7b with the RPC2

[@iriereviews]

This was really well done. Thanks!

[@StefanGenov7]

Excellent job! Rode Rodecaster Pro II is great mixer!

[@kettnercreative]

Yeah, we have ~20 more videos coming out. It's actually insane how many features they got into this thing.

[@WrestlingBios]

Thank you!

[@kettnercreative]

You're welcome!

[@noahlauritano2443]

Have been looking for someone to do settings for that mic for the longest time

[@kettnercreative]

I hope this helped!

[@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!

[@Warconstruct]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. This video helped alot with my setup.

[@kettnercreative]

Glad it helped

[@zayxkzakazeta-reborn749]

hi i always hear myself through my headphones when i talk into my mic how do i turn it off?

[@pr_martinzelayajr7404]

How do you remove the mic sound coming into your headphones, at least lower it?

[@Max-mh5yo]

Whats this "P48" (i guess Phantompower) and the other button, on the right of it, for?

[@BlackBeltBarrister]

Great video! I have a question if I may? I tend to have a lot of 'drop out' on my sound with exactly this setup and one of the presets, but not sure why. If I increase gain, it either clips or just makes it even more pronounced. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[@randomstuff53078]

can I run my audio through the rodecaster into my computer to do voiceover work on Imovie?

[@andrewp1513]

Nice work with the Kettner creative boom sleeve

[@kettnercreative]

Thank you. If there's going to be a HUGE logo on the boom, might as well be mine :)

@@kettnercreative how did you make it?

[@skyace888]

Thanks for the video. I own the Sound Devices MixPre 3 II and have used a RCP2 recently. The Sound Devices is a better unit IMO overall in terms of preamps, 32-bit float, and build quality but the RCP2 is unmatched in realtime processing and effects for live podcasts and shows unless you spend crazy bucks more for analog gear. Plastic build quality is disappointing. I guess it depends what you are looking for. Since I mostly do recorded podcasts, webinars, etc. I think I'm better off with my MixPre and processing the audio later in Audition.

[@kettnercreative]

For sure. I think the RCP2 preamps are getting close, but the 32-bit float is such a great feature, especially when you're on the run with the MixPre3. I don't mind the plastic build, I don't see any reliability issues from the construction whatsoever. If you're comparing these two devices, I think it mostly comes down to wether or not you livestream, want sound pads/media, or need realtime processing. If you don't, the MixPre3 probably one of your best options.

[@skyace888]

@@kettnercreative True. Maybe I'll consider picking up the RCP2 at some point as well or just hold out for the RCP3. Just goes to show that there isn't one interface to rule them all yet...

[@HunterPlayzFN]

sir i have a question if you just have a cloud lifter lying around cant you just plug it in and get like a 00.001% better audio or something or you just cant plug it in because it will sound back

[@chadglover]

Nice! Where did you get that logo made on the boom arm?

[@kettnercreative]

Local vinyl shop made it for me.

[@chadglover]

Mind telling me what request I would make for a shop to make it for me around here?

[@catjack90]

I really want the rodecaster duo, but I've heard many people complaining it doesn't have real time monitoring and a very high latency. Can anyone who owns it or the pro 2 share their opinions on this please?

[@busmanl30]

wow.... i saw this stuff man, i wanna return / sell my GoXLR tbh. They beat them

[@pukkademps]

Great video

[@sunnydayz77]

Superbly explained. Do the settings also apply for the Rodecaster Duo? Also, can we connect the Shure MV7 via USB to the Rodecaster Duo?

[@NIKTONvideo]

Hi! Why is reverberation played in monophonic mode on this device? Can we expect this issue to be fixed in the next firmware of the RØDECaster Pro II? Can this built-in reverb produce a natural surround stereo signal, as in all other mixing consoles from any other manufacturer over the past 50 years?

[@DemiVisnick]

Can you do a rodecaster pro 2 video to camera Sony a7iii I went off of your previous video with the rodecaster pro 1 and bought the Hosa CMP-159 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4" TS Stereo Breakout Cable to connect but I’m not getting any sound through the camera. Appreciate your videos!!!

[@MCLUDAH]

Thanks

[@NASSERQ8305]

Hello, I purchased a Rod product, but I want to know how to isolate ambient sounds, such as the keyboard, the air, or the voices of the people around me.

[@kettnercreative]

Better microphone positioning and playing with the noise gate will help you. That being said, it's the microphone's job to pickup sound, and the best results will come from adding sound proofing and sound treatment to your environment and eliminating background noise as much as possible.

[@NASSERQ8305]

@@kettnercreative Thank you, because I am at work and there are two other people with me, and the sound of the air conditioning and other things causes noise in the microphone, but I will try to eliminate the noise.

[@shadow8637]

Thanks for the great vid, im interested in the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro Headphones what amp should i get with it or does this Rode product run it as well along with the mic?

[@soul4813]

Hi there, I have noticed that you are using DT990 pro (open headphones) in this video. Is this headphone convenient for podcasting? I know they can bleed sounds out of the headphone. I was recommended to use 770 pro (closed) please share your thoughts. Thank you alot & your videos are great help to me

[@JaredWilliamScott]

I would like to share the RCP2 with a Mac mini M2 Pro and a windows box, so when I am done with work I can use it for gaming/streaming as well. Can I use the usb ports at the back or do I need a separate usb switcher for this?

[@Brickhouse917]

Could I use these same settings for the Shure MV7? I have a Rodecaster Pro Duo, so I'm assuming that wouldn't change much.

[@basarat]

What levels are you getting on the Mac. I'm getting -20 Db i.e. really low 😢

[@NickleNinja2]

do you think the SE Dynacaster sounds really good with the rodecaster too?

[@felixipsa4222]

hello bro , i have a rode procaster 2 and shure sm7b , i use the same settings as you but its to loud , my voice is so loud and its not sound clear, so i need to put my slider at level 5 etc. do i do something wrong?

[@CatherinCooper]

I do have a question. Do you have to wear headphones? I see some people with them and some without. Are they necessary?

Great video again. I've been using the SM7B, CloudLifter, and Yamaha MG10XU mixer for a long time. Do you think the Rodecaster Pro 2 is a good replacement (if budget isn't an issue)?

[@kettnercreative]

Depends what you’re wanting to use it for. I LOVE this thing, but I still use a AG06 as my ‘daily driver’ at my desk.

@@kettnercreative Many thansk for your response. I'm using it for Zoom/Teams, online webinars, and podcasts... Would you switch to the Rodecaster?

[@OffroadTreks]

Forgive me if it's been asked before, but where did you get the boom arm covers?

[@djdoublea]

Hi! Where did you get the custom boom arm cover?

[@schenebod]

which version of the beyerdynamics is recommended, how high of a resistance? 250?

[@kettnercreative]

I use 250ohm, no problems. Lately I've been using the Rode NTH-100 for my headphones though.

[@schenebod]

ok thx, sry for the question i just saw you made a whole vid about it@@kettnercreative

[@XMegaJuni]

I remember hearing something about ghost volting with the Shure SM7B, anyone know what that is about?>

[@kettnercreative]

You talking about phantom power?

[@XMegaJuni]

Yeah that's it! Something about making sure something is either powered on or off when using the mic.. Maybe it rings a bell, if not thank you for the time@@kettnercreative

[@kettnercreative]

@@XMegaJuni It's best practice to keep Phantom Power (48v) turned off with the Shure SM7B unless you're using an inline preamp (Cloudlifter, etc.).

[@LuisAntonioJordan]

Do you need to have the SD card or can it record internally on my computer?

[@kettnercreative]

You can do whatever option you prefer.

[@LuisAntonioJordan]

Awesome thank you so much! @@kettnercreative

[@ErenCaner]

I watched entire video and I'm disappointed as a owner of Rodecaster Pro 2 + SM7B. You only talked about generic setup.

[@DyIanJZ]

I think that's what this video was targeted for. Beginner set up and demo of the product to get new users going

[@anothergymkid9242]

Does sm7db work with the Streamer X as an audio interface?

[@HunterPlayzYT-H]

sir i have a question if you just have a cloud lifter lying around cant you just plug it in and get like a 00.001% better audio or something or you just cant plug it in because it will sound back

[@richardbrian9821]

The Revolution preamps built into the Rodecaster Pro II and Duo will give you significantly cleaner gain than a CloudLifter will. I had considered replacing my SM7b with a SM7Db but it is totally unnecessary with this mixer.
