Streamdeck Record Button Setup for your Rodecaster Pro & Duo

[@crudeoilgarage3570]

This is awesome and now i can put the Rodcaster in a better location for podcasting while still having control of it from my Stream Deck. Thanks for the video

[@NeilFarrimond]

Thank you for the kind comment and you’re welcome. Glad the video helped you.

Works great! The icon pack is recommended too. It really completes this function. Thanks Neil.

Awesome tutorial! For those who haven't configured your Rec button out of the box like me, you might get a yellow Rec light when toggling the recording off. This just means that your Rodecastor pro 2 is configured to pause when you press the record button instead of stopping the recording altogether. To change this, go to settings, then display, then go to Rec button and change the setting to "Press to Stop Recording" This will ensure that the rodecastor stops the recording instead of pausing. You can still pause by holding it down.

Great tip I’d forgotten about that. I’ll add you details in the description if that’s okay?

[@michaelocunningham]

@@NeilFarrimond that’s fine!

Just got a streadeck and a few things have changed or are different from my setup: 1. It seems as if you do not need a multi-Action button. A Toggle seems to do just fine 2. The starting works, but it seems as if RCPII is expecting a long press for it to stop. I'm not sure how you got your unit to accept a single press on the stop. What is your Device Configuration---> REC Button Settings. I have mine on the second one: Press to Pause. If I have it on the Press to Stop, it doesn't seem to work....

[@NeilFarrimond]

Hi, my RCP settings are press to stop. This could be why your button is not working as expected.

@@NeilFarrimond No, I'm having latency from the RCP receiving MIDI to it. This has been a bug on my system seeing I have more than one MIDI interface connected. I went back to the old ECM software method and allowing the RCP to do the triggering. With the Elgato, If I trigger the buttons it sometimes is received by the RCP and sometimes it doesn't at all. I know it's not the Elgato fault, because the the Ecamm Live works flawlessly. It's something with my unit and MIDI. I probably just have too much stuff connected.

[@NeilFarrimond]

@GospelMusicians is trying to with just the RCP connected first to eliminate the issue.

[@GospelMusicians]

Can I use the Strea Deck to Start/Stop the Rodecaster and Ecamm Live at the same time with one button?

[@NeilFarrimond]

Yes you can. You just need to use a multi action button on the Streamdeck.

on windows not working

[@NeilFarrimond]

Have you checked everything is up to date and a couple of additional notes in the description. I don’t have a Windows system to unfortunately can’t test. Maybe some of the comments reference Windows system working?

[@davidofPL]

@@NeilFarrimond I change midi ports to MIDI FUNCTION, and works. Dont use LOOPMIDI. I had a lot of clicking before I got there. Does anyone know if you can control the viral channels? I would like to have a button on the stream deck or smartpad in the rodcater to mute the virtual channel.

I will subscribe but you need to change every thumbnail from your channel and add your face on it

[@NeilFarrimond]

Can I ask why?

[@peternapoliello2490]

Way too confusing. Better to just prompt the RCP 2 directly.

[@NeilFarrimond]

What workflow can you use to prompt the RCP directly? Just interested in your simplified approach.
