Taking Callers Using The Rodecaster Pro II | Rodecaster Pro 2 Review

[@MattHowlett]

You mention using USB-C to take calls but Rode says that calls on an iPhone aren't possible over USB-C due to iOS limitations ("Due to iOS limitations, native phone calls cannot be made on an iPhone or iPad via USB"). Has a firmware update potentially made this possible? Can an iPhone be used for calls with a TRRS cable via one of the 1/4" inputs?

Use Bluetooth to connect to your iPhone

[@MattHowlett]

@@infuseme2 Tks. I know Bluetooth is an option but I'd prefer a wired connection...that's why I asked the question.

[@TanNguyen-bk7br]

@@MattHowlett Matt have you tried this and does it work? the problem is we need to get the audio from the iphone to the RCP2 as well as get the audio from the RCP2 to the iphone, the 1/4'' headphone jack is only for output i believe

[@MattHowlett]

@@TanNguyen-bk7br no I haven’t tried it yet. I’ve been relying on desktop apps like zoom so far. I feel like there’s gotta be a workaround 🤷‍♂️

[@KimSellstedt]

Cheers for the clear instructions. Will be using this to make interviews in a new podd im starting up.

[@JonathonVillaescusa]

Great video, thisnis something ill be implementing soon for my podcast. Currently using OBS, do you know or perhaps you have a video already explaining how to link a live Zoom call so i can have the video feed as well the audio for my podcast from a remote host?

[@georgewalker1206]

Yet another great video! 👏👍

[@AudioInsider_YT]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@2de1oyun]

All questions about my problem answered in this video about phone audio in and out thumbs up for that great tutorial experience. Now i do have a question. Does the bluetooth on Rodecaster Pro 2 connect to bluetooth headphones like airpods pro 2 for example ?

[@ThePhobicFlyer]

Does this unit have a red light out function to show when any of the mic faders are Open?

[@cayman2010]

James - USB-C connection does it work for native calls on iphone?

[@jeffsumeracki7263]

No, I have tried using Rode recommended cables and I cannot communicate with my guest. Rode stated this is an Apple limitation in iOS. This without TRRS, the RCP2 does not have a native direct connect low latency live call option. Bluetooth latency for live calls is horridly unacceptable.

[@charris731]

What kind of cabling are you using? Is it an offbrand or an apple product cable. I had this problem with another device taking live phone calls and IWhat kind of cabling are you using? Is it an offbrand or a apple product cable. I had this problem with another device. Taking live phone calls and I followed with the video. Instructor was telling me. Then I found out. I had to use an apple original cable and it worked for me. Can you confirm if you’re trying it with, a non-apple product cable. If you have a non-apple product cable, go out and buy an apple product cable and try it and come back to a chat let us know

[@MalBackTalkingTesla]

James a question 4 you when doing doing the show and you got the person on the desk how can you talk to him with out it coming out of the desk that you faded up your mike so you can get the artist ready before you open your fader to speak to your listeners

[@joshuabennett346]

this is great. I would like to use the Rodecaster more like a talk show setup. You mentioned towards the end about this being possible if you're clever. I'm not so clever....any advice on setting it up that way?

[@realestateauctioneer]

Can you use it to take calls while streaming a live show on Restream?

How to bring on guest on the road caster pro 2 with out using the phone

[@cayman2010]

Can I collect one via Bluetooth and one hardwired?

[@Rad-n-Colorado]

You can do two with USBC and one Bluetooth.

[@hammysmyths]

Great video! Could do without 2:40 worth of intro. Excellent information! Thank you!

[@fieldvisiontv]

Does the lighting to usb cable let you do two way calling with no minus on IPhone or is it just one way. Rode documentation seems to say that only works on android I prefer direct connection over Bluetooth. Worried iphone will only do this with Bluetooth thanks

[@OGSGTWOBBLE]

Thanks for the video

[@AudioInsider_YT]

Our pleasure!

[@radioprobromania]

Hello James. I have a question if you can help me. I use RCP2 for online radio station and i want use phone calls from usb-c, i have sound in rodecaster from any platform, youtube etc, but when i recive a phone call i have no sound for this, why ?

[@djflakofresh]

How can i receive calls (phone calls) and use the disguise voice or anything other effect for like the bluetooth channel or usb channel or any other channels besides the mic channels?

[@zeroer200]

can I use it in ps5 and pc together ??

[@2BeBluntPodcast]

If I use google voice through my laptop on the usb chat channel and then play music off my laptop will the user hear it with mix minus on?

[@eugennachtigall]

Do you know, if Rode plans to implement VoIP? Is it possible to do remote interviews without a computer directly from RCPII to RCPII? Thanks.

[@AudioInsider_YT]

I can't see it. Guess you never know!

[@lifeontheverge]

The caller I am speaking to is getting a full volume repeat of everything she says on here end - whether using AirPods, Speaker, etc. She hears me fine from the RC pro 2 and I get a clean recording signal from her. But she get's a full volume echo of everything SHE says - not me (the host). She hears me fine. Anyone have any idea what's going on on her end to cause this?

[@justin5421]

Need to have our radio show with a guest who’s in California. He will be on the entire show so audio quality is a must. Best possible way would be zoom with the guest using a microphone?

[@beastlybombers]

I wish to have a talk show where my friend, as the producer, would be at his home. I would be at mine. A guest at his home. And a caller calling in from anywhere. We are all communicating to each other when on the air or not. All of it being recorded and simulcasting it live to a radio station. What do you think. How would that be set up? Thank you so much. Please let me know what you think would be the best way to go about it.🙂

[@cliffcasteel4249]

Would the Rodecaster Pro 2 connect with Nexgen radio automation?

[@yinYangMountain]

Greetings James, You mentioned iPhone… You’re saying someone can use RODE’s USB-C to Lighting cable or USB-C to USB-C cable between their iPhone and the RCP II to make/receive a ‘phone’ call, is that right? Note: I have the RCP II and all those cables from RODE. Did you actually try what you’re claiming with any iPhone? Have you ever seen this work between an iThing and the RCP II-anywhere? If so, please reference the link. A Discord call-in? Have you tried connecting a call with, say, Discord with an iPhone or iPad using a cable? Have you read RODE’s online USER GUIDE, including Connecting Callers and Online Guests > Connecting iOS devices? SPOILER ALERT RODE’s ONLINE USER GUIDE (which nobody seems to have read) explains there are iOS limitations. This was confirmed when I called to RODE and they told me my RCP II would never connect via various services-including ‘native’ phone calls. The only solution, James, is connecting a caller via Bluetooth. And because of these USB limitations, many creators will be limited to a single caller. yYM

[@rimurr]

He’s also telling that you can use the usb-c to Lightning apple cable that comes with newer iPhones… and that’s not working.

[@ILaxative]

@@rimurr I tried twice and you’re right nothings working. Bluetooth connects but my lightning able won’t connect. It charges somehow though

[@rimurr]

@@ILaxative it only works with Rode’s cables like the SC19 or the SC21.

[@ILaxative]

@@rimurr wow. Crazy how that one would work and the official cable wouldn’t. Thanks for that. Did Rode Tech Support tell you or you found out through trial and error. I’ve been killing myself all night lol.

[@rimurr]

@@ILaxative Rode states it and I tried it to. I happen to own a Rode AI-Micro and the cable that comes with it (SC21) works. So I didn’t had to purchase the SC19 Rode recommends for the iPhone physical connection. I miss the TRSS port on RCP1 though…

[@Schwabinglover]

James, it´s not possible to take callers when you connect an Iphone via USB-C. Iphone calls are ONLY possible using Bluetooth.

[@jeffsumeracki7263]

Has anyone figured out how to do this? I need the ability to add a live caller into a 4-person mix on my RCP2. I have tried Bluetooth, but the latency makes the caller seem like they are on the Moon! Unacceptable. I need direct connect speed (lack of latency) and have tried the USB-C to Lightning adapter and validated that live calls are not possible. I have heard this is a limitation on the Apple side having to do with digital access to the microphone. Maybe there is an APP that overrides this? Otherwise, has anyone else validated USB-C connection live conversations with any Android device?

[@TheRealBrayo]

yes, I'm still experiencing issues with it. I will call rode

Congratulations on your engagement to the LA Lakers owner.

Nice video, can you make a video of going live on fb with rodecaster pro 2. Thanks

[@1BabaSalam]

“If you’re really clever…” 😂

[@clementealvarez8392]

la rodecaster no permite las llamas de iphone por sus restricciones, no eres objetivo, ni aclaras el tema, me parece FATAL!!!!!!!!!!

[@ConociendoEnMotoConSteve]

First the roadcaster pro one is better, it got 38 screws, the Roadmaster pro one is metal and II is plastic. See the cable doesn’t have protection and the mics plug doesn’t have the metal protection, the two is a toy. Don’t buy the rodecaster II, get the one.

[@AudioInsider_YT]

I don't think you can judge a device based on the number of screws it has.

[@jeffsumeracki7263]

Preamps and features on the 2 blow away the RCP. Hate the missing TRRS but love it otherwise!
