Sound for Video Session - RODECaster Pro II & Yolobox Pro? Q&A

[@LearnLightAndSoundSessions]

Important update: I did further testing and found that the latency is NOT from the RODECaster Pro II's monitor outputs. In fact, the 100ms of latency I experienced appears to be from the Yolobox Pro. Here are my test results: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m32baHRsnq-rg6c

Wow, good catch. I was starting to loose confidence in RODECaster.

[@Budapestfm]

Good news, sort of :)

[@LearnLightAndSoundSessions]

@@Budapestfm Bad news for Yolobox, good news for RODECaster Pro II.

@@vivamoment Sorry about that, fixed it.

I hope I will get an answer :), So I have a Rodecaster pro and I did a live stream with it, now I bought yololliv instream and I don't know how to connect everything so that the sound of my microphone doesn't get delayed. Please, is it possible to remove this problem? can the Rode microphone still be used?

[@Dakartattooing]

Did you ever get it to work better with the yolo box pro and rhode

[@curtisjudd]

I didn’t try, to be honest.

[@chrstphrdyer]

I clicked on because I have a yolobox and am looking for this solution. Too bad it would appear to not work with the yolobox. Hopefully they can straighten that out. Could you point me towards a video of yours that would explain what is necessary to be able to do a podcast?

[@curtisjudd]

It seems to work with the original RCP so hopefully they can get it working with the new version as well. I don't have a specific video on how to create a podcast. Which part of the process are your looking to learn? Recording? RSS feeds? Something else?

Seriously late to the party, but i just bought the Yolobox Pro and audio latency through USB when using it as a webcam (for instance, for Zoom) is terrible. The audio is WAY behind the video. Only solution I could find was to use the HDMI out on the Yolo and a cheap capture card, so audio and video both went through HDMI and into a laptop. I kept the Yolobox set to audio from Camera (HDMI) 1, which was a GH5 that received line-out from a Zoom F6 with 6 microphones. The GH5 has good preamps, so did well enough. And audio was separately recorded on the F6. BTW, the F6 (and other 32-bit float devices from Zoom) record 32-bit tracks very quietly--they don't even register as a visible wave in FCPX. Need dedicated audio app to bring them up first.

[@curtisjudd]

On the F6, with a setting, you record post fader so levels are not so low.

Got a few questions- I'm having issues with the time set on the Rode Caster 2, time will not keep- every time I turn the machine off, it resets by 5 hours, and connecting the unit to speakers for output. The function is not working correctly. I don't fully understand how this is setup, but it's definitely an issue. Please give me your expertise.

[@TimothyDowd]

Hi, Tim here. I just saw the Yolobox update with remote guests... this is the update I've been waiting for. I am a Switcher Studio/Streamyard user and I am totally remote on beaches and in bars in Tenerife... my specific use case would be two or more local "hosts" using the mixing desk for audio (at the moment ZOOM L-8) two local cameras and up to three remote guests... I want to buy a Yolobox Pro so I am able to use the highlight comments feature, overlays, pre-recorded content and a second video source with my GH5mkII (at the moment I am streaming either using Switcher Studio or directly from the camera) and use a Rodecaster Pro II connected over USB to control the audio, jingles, sound effects etc. when you get the Rodecaster Pro II working over USB can you do a review of the remote guest feature and audio just over USB and how the remote guests audio comes back into the Rodecaster... hope this makes sense.

[@curtisjudd]

Yes, makes sense. The biggest issue I've found is that the Yolobox Pro appears to add about 100ms of latency to audio which is a huge problem. Will need them to fix that first for it to be useful for my work.

[@kilroyfilms7590]

did you try sending the audio into the Yolobox line or mic in?

[@curtisjudd]

Not yet. This was the only time I used this.

[@kilroyfilms7590]

@@curtisjudd cool. I have the YB pro and original, audio sync has always been an issue, but not noticeable for my use case (weddings). With the delay on line/mic now available it's my preference

[@garyclement5527]

My speaker icon on the 5” monitor on the RCP2 has disappeared- I feel it’s a easy fix- any idea about how to get it to reappear? Also noticed that the unit getting to the point where I’m having to unplug to turn it off- not Turing off by itself. not sure what happening- I welcome your advice.

[@curtisjudd]

Not sure - haven't experienced this. Probably best to contact RODE support. Best wishes!

[@glynnetolar4423]

How do products like the Roadcaster's delay or ATEM's USB video get released? Do they think we will not notice or just don't care?

[@curtisjudd]

I don't think they expect the target audience to use the monitor outputs to feed audio to camera - at least not with the original RCP. But the new version has a specific setting for line output, so I'm not sure what they were thinking. And I also don't know what Blackmagic Design is doing with their ATEM Mini USB outputs...So close, yet so frustrating.

[@faithhouse6111]

Can Ecamm slow down the cameras video feed? I'm pretty sure you can delay audio in ecamm but I'm not sure about video.

[@curtisjudd]

You can delay audio, but not video as far as I'm aware.

[@ngrecords]

Can you make a video and how to setup step by step

[@Prospek23]

what rig are using to stand your yololiv up?

[@curtisjudd]

That's a mini tripod by a company called iFootage

[@wellingtonsarmento6540]

Hi Curtis, i tried to send the sound from RCP2 to a Yolobox ( p10 dual mono to p2 stereo). But it doesn't work. Can you help me?

[@curtisjudd]

I wasn't able to get it working last time I tried. Will cover it again if I figure it out.

[@OkayestHunter]

Were you ever able to resolve the audio feed from the RODECaster into the Yolobox Pro?

[@OkayestHunter]

And I didn't notice the audio lag you mentioned in your video itself, how did you get that lined up since you mentioned it wasn't the normal latency you'd expect?

[@curtisjudd]

@@OkayestHunter It was an issue with the Yolobox Pro at that time. Apparently they've updated their firmware, but I haven't tested it.

[@OkayestHunter]

@@curtisjudd it works now, however there doesn’t seem to be a way to use YOLOBox as an audio source into my MacBook

[@curtisjudd]

@@OkayestHunter Yeah, a bit too much of a moving target. I went back to my previous streaming hardware.

[@modular_wisdom]

@@curtisjudd Hello, Curtis. What setup is that, Blackkmagic? Thanks.

[@skakdosmer]

"Yolobox" sounds just like "yellow box", the way you say it, Curtis. I think I'd be a little confused if I hadn't heard of the Yolobox already.

[@curtisjudd]

Mmmhmm.
