I will definitely be watching your review of this new product. I know that your very thorough and an expert.

[@travisminneapolis]

Don't you wish it had a parametric equalizer? Then we could dial in (or dial out) those weird frequencies in lav mics for live sound. Am I the only crazy person for wanting this feature?

[@curtisjudd]

@@travisminneapolis yes, that'd be a nice addition.

[@techthisout3549]

Great product, but the most wanted feature, at least for professional usage I think is a real "parametric eq" and the possibility to route specific channels to the 4 "aux" busses. I mean it would be wonderful if you can decide what to address to each specific headphoone output as a real mixer does instead of having the program output on all of those... this is a feature that have to be implemented so far, even if you couldn't make something like aux level sends, maybe as far as it work as an analog matrix with digital controls, it would be great to be possible to mute or select only the channel you want to hear in the headphone, so you can make 4 diffrent listen for the audiance. I know it's a "radio podcasting thing" but real aux compartment with real eq is what this thing miss to be a really flagship killer in the market.

Hi there this is a very tempting upgrade from my version 1 unit. I wanted to know if it has own driver for windows? The biggest issue in multitrack recording to say studio 1 or audition, was the fact once recorded, to hear back i had to change from asio to mme in audition or asio to windows in the audio hardware sections as guessing usb taken by playout software etc due to one in via usb? So in short I want multitrack in no change to settings in DAW press play hear back. Many thanks

[@StefanS88]

Thanks for answering all of this question! Regarding the the routing of specific apps onto specific faders. As far as I've understood you have only 1 routing option. For most streamers or gamers it would be really important to have 4 or better more routings options that you can really split e.g games, discord, musik etc and not having everything on only 1 fader. Thinks like the GoXLR or Elgato software are using this also. It would be perfect if you can add this later I would directly buy the rodecaster as it would be my dream device! Please rode :)

[@RJ-vy4yd]

Yes, this ^. If Rodecaster Pro 2 doesn't support that I don't think it should be advertised as a device for streamers as it gives them about as much functionality as a cheapo focusrite audio interface aka plugging XLR microphone into your PC and that's it. Dual-PC streaming is a concept outdated for years already, with the launch of RTX GPUs. Definitively a dealbreaker.

[@chrisrod01]

@@RJ-vy4yd Yeahsame here his voice sounded like "you might need a secondary pc via USB C..."

[@BoLegJOE]

I asked TomBuck (who has 3 reviews with the RCP2 in hand) “can you assign game chat, game audio, Spotify to the physical faders?” and he replied “Yep. All of the virtual channels can be made physical.” Im going to research and see how many virtual channels are available. If it’s Allows for capabilities beyond its “competition” it truly is in a class of its own. Regardless I have no intentions of returning mine. There’s still SOOO much that this product is going to be capable of doing. I’ll have a review of it as soon as I get it in hand as I plan to use it on live streams. (My KZbin channel may be geared to pre recorded vids vs live)

[@AnthonyGoodley]

Does this have an audio routing table to control which inputs route to which outputs? Like the GoXLR's routing table. I'm really wanting to get this to replace my GoXLR but it must have all the same basic features before its an upgrade in my book.

[@rodemic]

[@OfficialNetDevil]

Ordered mine like 60 seconds after it was announced, still waiting on that fantasy to arrive.

[@kjellg4640]

Looking at this for small live band performance only, instead of carrying analogue mixer and external signal processors. Would be interested in some videos/information about this perspective only, including the quality of the reverb for live singing.

[@BlackLight1116]

Would it be easy to stream audio from Pro Tools to OBS with this? Been trying to figure this out for years.

[@Adleir]

I'm having a hard time connecting it to streamlabs. I can select the main RodeCaster audio input but the microphone works fine on the hardware but on streamlabs the audio doesn't work

[@stephenandreweyre]

From a music producers perspective: can I attach a usb to 5pin midi cable and send midi clock to my hardware synths and drum machines? Can I use pads to trigger play of already recorded audio files to a stereo channel? Cheers.

[@williemaykit4564]

Fantastic. Quick question, can you selectively choose to output everything except the microphone to external monitors? This is so that it prevents audio feedback from the microphone without having to wear headphones all the time. At the moment, I have a mixing desk that handles this via a submix feature.

[@rodemic]

Hey Willie, not at this stage, though its something we're definitely looking at for future firmware updates

[@freakynaughtylive]

1 question. Can I have this plugged into the stream PC and monitor my mic still. With my headphones plugged into my amp/dac stack on my gaming PC?

[@daclubber.]

Can I connect the wireless headset Astro A50 and hear my voice while I'm streaming? for monitoring, I use Go Xlr and they don't have that option

[@parco000]

Why you choose to remove the 3.5mm jack for the host in the RCP 1 ?

[@goodcuppatea]

Since the front headphone jack is gone, I assume that the first headphone output on the back is now the only one with prefade listen capability? If so, can we create a submix/activate prefade listen for the other headphone outputs?

[@rodemic]

That's correct, headphone #1 is the only output with pre-fade listen capability. In terms of submixes for other outputs, this is not something that's available at this stage, however it's possible for future firmware updates, so keep an eye out 👀

[@calebmutombwa2124]

How much space acn be saved onto the smart pads? I currently use my Rodecasterpro as a mixer for live theather were the soud pads are on latch for me to trigger audio music but 512MBs is nver enough?

[@rodemic]

The SMART pads share 4GB of storage. Files are stored natively in the format they are uploaded to the unit (either WAV or mp3), so total storage time will depend on the file format you choose. For WAV files, you can store around 4-6 hours of audio. For mp3 you can store up to 70 hours.

[@arnelbee]

Would it possible Connecting a midi keyboards ie Arturia or Roland into the secondary usb as audio interface.?

[@traceycasey-arnold]

Thank you for this video! On the Smart Pads, with the MIDI will it be able to communicate with the livestream software and encoder ECAMM?

[@rodemic]

Yes, you can program features like scene-switching through the MIDI functionality for ECAMM 😊

Is it possible to have to send the voice mic and music through the USB channel but only the music channel through the monitor output. The use case is at a conference room where is being streamed to youtube (need voice and music) but at the conference room I just need the music and not the voice outputting into the room. thanks a lot I already have the rcp1 but want to see if it has this option so that I may buy it

[@rodemic]

Not currently, but we’re definitely looking at this for a future firmware update.

Have my RCP2 pre-ordered. It is a winner day one. But I do wonder, will it be able to record clean pre-effects files, while also being able to send to stream/DAW recording the onboard processed files? Or vice-versa?

[@rodemic]

Yes you can!

[@DatDudeDullah]

I ordered my RCP2 and can’t wait to get it! Can the RCP2 edit the recording beyond shortening and fading the clip at the beginning and end? For example; can you cut out pieces anywhere in the clip, like if you cut out um’s, miss-speaks, dead air, etc in your recording? I’m basically wondering if I can record and edit on-device without additional software like GarageBand, Ableton, etc?

[@rodemic]

With the RØDECaster Pro II, you can do basic trimming and fading on the sounds recorded to the SMART pads, however you won't be able to perform edits to entire tracks in a streamlined way within unit itself - so use of such software is recommended.

[@ActivateLA]

Quick question 🙋‍♂️ , when I apply the voice effects (FX voice changer) I can only hear the voice change (FX) on the headphone channels 3 and 5… on channels 1 and 4 I hear my regular voice with no FX? Did you experience this problem? Is there a setting I’m missing? Thank you 🙏🏼

[@rodemic]

The voice effects will apply to whichever mic channel you have selected it to be activated on. To check this, click on the effect on the SMART pads > edit and then at the top of the screen you will see which channels it applies to when activated.

[@cooltlc614]

Asking a question as a blind person using the rodecaster is it easy for a visually impaired person to use the role caster and will there be any future updates or will you make an application to be able to use the Ro caster for those that do enjoy podcasting or other things that is capable of doing with a voice over

[@MarkSmith82]

The sideways USB slot beside the power button, is that essentially for direct connections to a power bank eliminating the adapter needed with the first rodecaster?

[@MrCurls9]

If your talking about the cable connected to it right beside the power button that's a USB C cable from their power adapter not sure if it can be powered by anything else but I'm not sure that part

[@rodemic]

Hey Mark, good question! You don't need a DC-USB1 for this one, it's just plug and play for a USB power bank. You just need a power bank capable of 30W USB-C PD (15V, 2A). You will get about an hour of operation per 10W/h capacity - so a high-quality battery pack will give you around ten hours of power. (Note the power drawn from the battery depends on factors including screen and LED brightness, USB connectivity and phantom power status, so actual results will vary.)

[@jbbiunno]

Can you customize the mix to the Bluetooth channel? As in, if you don’t want your call-in guest to hear USB audio, but you want everyone else to be able to, can you customize this?

[@rodemic]

This is not something that's available at this stage, however may be possible through future firmware updates 😊

[@pallibj]

Hi. Thanks for a great video and a wonderful product, the Rødecaster Pro II. Here are ideas: - How about if a user can assign a different effects to different mic inputs? Lets say, reverb to input 1 and echo to input 2? For example. - And for my live broadcasting I would like to have a fade in/out option on the smart pad channel, where I'm playing a vamp song under when I speak. Would be nice to fade that out on f.e. 2,5 seconds. -The fade in/out option that user can assign to a smart pad is smart but not very useful (I think), It's good to have but not for streaming where the broadcaster needs to hear from USB 1 or USB 2 (or bouth) the whole time. In my case I would like to choose what I can fade in/out, whether it's one of the mic inputs or all of them, USB's or Bluetooth... or what ever channel user needs to fade in or out. How about that? :-) But thanks again for a great product :)

[@rodemic]

Thanks for the feedback Pall! You can already apply reverb and echo to individual mic channels. With regards to more fading options we will pass this onto the team!

[@alphakruppier6913]

the rodecaster pro had a headphone Jack for monitoring... how do I monitor the audio mix if it doesn't have a stereo headphone output of the mix???

[@kwameryan]

I had the same thought with regard to the headphone output on the front which doesn’t exist on the RCP II the way it was on the RCP I. You just have to monitor using one of the 4 outputs on the back, the way Julian is doing it in the video. That‘s a little less comfortable with the cord going around back to front of the device, but if you want and the monitoring is less quality-critical, you can also use Bluetooth headphones.

[@MrCurls9]

Headphone out #1 on the back is the main one that can do the pre fader soloing and what not if that's what you are asking.

[@ethanol3642]

Hi. May I directly record audio in mp3 format to extend the recording time ? I know Rode Central app could export audio in mp3 format. How do I change the recording format? Can't find it in Rodecaster Pro II settings

[@rodemic]

Hey there, there is no way to adjust the recording until the stage where you export. We would recommend using an SSD or external hard drive that has a higher capacity for your files.

[@rachidfinge8601]

Hey, here are two questions I'm dying to know the answer to: how many USB channels are there (i.e. how many apps can I route to independent faders)? Is it 2 per USB device? If so, what happens if I connect the two USB ports to one and the same computer? Does that give me four independent channels? :)

[@dantheman_youtube]

Would I be right in thinking your thinking along the lines of how the go XLR works? So if both USB’s where connected to same computer, you could assign one fader to game audio, and the other fader to Spotify for example? Would be quite cool that! I do really like the dual pc feature!

[@rachidfinge8601]

@@dantheman_youtube With just one USB connection, you'd already get two outputs (e.g. one for Game and one for Spotify). I'm just hoping that adding a second USB connection to the same computer leads to four distinct outputs. Hope RØDE can confirm.

Hey there Nader, if you're asking "can I create a different mix in the headphone 1 output as opposed to what would be in the headphone 2 output, and so on, yes you can do that". Just go to settings➡️outputs➡️routing.

[@jayxpea]

Can the coloured cables be used with any headphones or is it specifically only for the NTH100?

[@rodemic]

The locking connector which connects the NTH-CABLE to the NTH-100s is a proprietary connector and so it is only designed for use with the NTH-100.

[@Ant360]

Is there a micro sd card recommendation list anywhere? Also, can we make the SD card USB transfer mode allow deleting files - maybe as an option? (I heard it was read only to prevent accidental deletion)

[@rodemic]

Yes, we would recommend a high-quality microSD card that supports data rates of at least 100MB/s. Any quality microSD card labelled either ‘microSDHC’ or ‘microSDXC’ will work well. Cards without these standards or low-quality unbranded cards are not recommended and may cause glitches or other recording issues. With regards to deletion in this state, yes you can!

I'm unable to hear calls when using an iPhone 13 (latest firmware), SC19 cable, and RCP II (latest firmware). I can hear/record music played from iPhone into RCP II, but not phone calls (or FaceTime audio). Has anyone been able to take/make phones calls using SC19 and iPhone? Thanks!

[@rodemic]

Hey Ernie, due to iOS limitations you aren't able to make calls with USB audio. We would suggest using apps such as Whatsapp or Skype if you want to use USB audio for calls. Alternatively you can also make regular calls via Bluetooth.

[@OffLabelVeterinaryNews]

@Manuela Guerra Agree. We had a phone call guest (iOS) and the quality was so poor we had to scrap the entire segment. Previously, we used the phone input of the original RCP with outstanding results. When I pre-ordered the RCP 2, I ordered the SC19 cable because that's what they suggested. To discover it can't transfer audio calls is hugely disappointing. I would love to hear others' experiences. Hopefully this can be fixed soon.

[@SheilaSWard]

I know the smart pads can add and control voice effects, Will it be able to also add and control voice harmony, chorus and choirs? If not, will Rode be able to add this on an update firmware? I’m a singer songwriter and use these voice effects in my recordings, but it would be so complete for someone like me to have this option. Thank you, Sheila S Ward

You can directly record sounds to your SMART pads or you can upload tracks via the companion app (RØDE Central), which would make layering your recordings easy!

[@rodemic]

Hey Leandro- welcome to the RØDECaster! Here's the way your RØDECaster works: it takes inputs like microphones, and mixes them into an output you can use on your computer. While your computer will recognise the outputs of your RØDECaster, (such as "RØDECaster Pro II Main Stereo" and "RØDECaster Pro II Chat") the inputs, like your PodMic microphones, won't be "recognized", they will simply be mixed into outputs of your RØDECaster.

One question which will do it for me…Can you connect a midi keyboard to it through the USB?

[@DroseMr]

Can i monitor output to a bt speaker?How. Thank You

[@rodemic]

Yes, although you will have some inherent latency, so we wouldn’t recommend monitoring this way. But here’s how to connect your Bluetooth device: rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro-ii/connecting-callers-and-online-guests#:~:text=Connecting%20a%20Device%20via%20Bluetooth

[@corvortman3728]

Q: Is it possible to make the TRS input to unbalanced stereo input's

[@leafqi]

Does this support Mics with 48v

[@Gattari]

When are you going to solve the latency issue if you use a headset as a real time monitoring (being a singer, a voice over actress and podcaster it is a real issue and it's inacceptable)?

[@rodemic]

Thanks for the feedback, our product development team are always working on updates for our products, so we will pass this onto the team!

[@corvortman3728]

Q: If a channel comés to virutel will it bepossible to listning/speaker switch on/off with smart pads? Q: will it be in future possible to switch headphone output from stereo to mono, and vice versa? Q: why no Fase meter in the RCP II?

[@rodemic]

Q1 & 2: These are both possible for future updates. Q3: It has a phase metering built into the audio processing menu.

[@henryisapig]

Can you update the firmware on the Caster Pro 1 so that it also records separate files for each channel?

[@samfraulino]

That would be awesome

[@corvortman3728]

Q: Why no push buttons in level controle for headphone, for talkback? Q: Will it be possible to connect RCP I to RCP II, Or vice versa?

[@rodemic]

Q1: There is a 'back channel' feature which can be set to trigger via the SMART pads to allow for communication between the host and a select other channel. Q2: Yes, but you would lack many of the big benefits that the RØDECaster Pro II brings to the table such as incredible preamps and lower noise floor.

[@corvortman3728]

Q: is a XL caster pro II planned? so with dobble the in and outputs?

[@rodemic]

Not at this stage, no

[@80sALT]

Can you get a Rodecaster pro 2 in the hands of Harris Heller?

[@rodemic]

👍

[@Fanie36vv]

Can you connect to Bluetooth speakers (JBL310)

[@rodemic]

Yes it can connect directly with Bluetooth Speakers, though we cannot speak to this model specifically. Our Service Team may be able to help you out more on this! rode.com/contact

[@rodrigogarciamz]

Can I record directly on iPhone video app?

[@rodemic]

Yes you can! You will just need to use an official lightning accessory cable such as the SC15 or SC19 plugged into USB-2

[@spaceghostcqc2137]

What's the battery life like when running off usb-c power?

[@rodemic]

You will get about an hour of operation per 10W/h capacity - so a high-quality battery pack will give you around ten hours of power. (Note the power drawn from the battery depends on factors including screen and LED brightness, USB connectivity and phantom power status, so actual results will vary.)

[@spaceghostcqc2137]

@@rodemic Thank you for the quick and thorough response!

[@JensSkov]

Is it possible to connect USB microphones?

[@rodemic]

Not at this stage, but its something we're looking at closely for future firmware updates!

[@ViktorGEAR]

Can I connect my Sony PlayStation 5 via usb to capture audio of PlayStation?

[@rodemic]

No, not with the RØDECaster Pro II at this stage

[@ViktorGEAR]

@@rodemic thanks for replying

[@candyman3537]

Another question is how to output the iPad to RodeCaster Pro II?

[@rodemic]

You can use our SC19 cable to connect your iPad to play music and other sounds. Due to limitations in iOS, this won't support calls such as those through WhatsApp or Twitter spaces, but these can be done through the built in Bluetooth functionality.

[@candyman3537]

@@rodemic Thanks. But SC19 cable doesn't work if go through Apple camera kit. I want to connect my midi keyboard.

[@Sean2stacks]

Will the rode wireless go 2 be compatible ?

[@rodemic]

You can use the Wireless GO II with the VXLR pro attachment connected via TRS cable.

[@Sean2stacks]

Why vxlr pro? The regular wouldn’t suffice ? Cause I know it doesn’t phantom power

[@wastbs]

Wow

[@teamalmestudios6148]

I'm lamenting the loss of the front headphone jack - I don't want to have to wind the cable around to the back of the device as you do in this video, I just want to plug into the front dammit!!!

[@clemradio]

Don’t get mad

[@hpsfresh]

Can I get one for free? Or at last chance original I already have?

[@o_hucky_o]

Can it handle 250 Ohm headphones?

[@rodemic]

Yes!

[@agambhasin]

This is really costly! Is there something u intend to bring on similar lines for beginner podcasters on a budget

[@snap-n-shoot]

You could wait a week or two and get a Rodecaster Pro 1 at a much cheaper price.

[@clemradio]

@@snap-n-shoot why would it be cheaper after a few weeks?

[@PrestonJensen]

Can you connect this to an Xbox one x?

[@rodemic]

Not at this stage, no
