Just wanna say I really appreciate your videos, man. I’m a Mac user and you have helped me immensely with my setup. It’s really hard to find good Mac tutorials for streaming, and I’d be lost without your content. Always looking forward to your uploads. Thanks! 🙏

[@MidnightMan]

Glad to help out! I know no one likes to make videos on Mac streaming. And it’s a more than capable machine

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

I was looking at one of those for the future. I heard great reviews on this. Great video Midnight Man!

[@MidnightMan]

This is the closest to perfect audio interface that I've ever used for recording game audio from the PS5 WHILE having one microphone be used for commentary and game chat! I am 😵 *NOTE* There is a known on-going issue with the PS5 audio sounding staticy/echoey when paired with CasterDuo. I will update this comment if anything changes regarding this problem.

[@eddiebrock661]

any updates on this issue?!?! im currently dealing with that🙄

[@Powda_House_Entertainment]

Waiting also

[@NissarK]

@MidnightMan any updates?

[@retr0bladez]

Any updates on this issue I’m really struggling with this

[@ItsTropixal]

This looks beautiful.

[@Shivil]

This is the only video I've seen that talks about this and it's a big plus for the rodecaster, I'm deciding between the rodecaster and the mackie dlz creator xs, and this is probably the game changer I was looking for. On the other hand, tremendous visual quality of the video, congratulations man!

[@Shotbyamin]

If anyone is experiencing static issues with the PS5 do this…..Run 2 usb c cables from the usb c ports on the rodecaster duo and connect both (usb-c 1 and usb-c 2) to your pc. Then connect an Aux cable to the monitor your ps5 is connected to and plug into the line in port on your pc….and boom…no more PS5 static issues ever!!!!

[@MidnightMan]

This is a good work around! Wish it could apply to laptops and computers that don't have a line in port, and it'll get your PS5 audio to come in but you wont' be able to chat on the console using the mic on the rodecaster duo. My rode contact has shared the static issue with the tech team, they're looking into it, so we'll see what comes of it.

[@bigjohnbibel]

Fellow PS5 + Mac content creator here - these videos are life savers and also make me wanna empty out my wallet haha. Great stuff!

[@CraytonTv]

Great video bro 😎 solid detail review and explaination, yeah those audio interface go hard and produce tons of features. Nice editing skills & relaxing background music also. And that picture you had on the wall in the background above the bed was fire 🔥 keep up the great work, God Bless 😇 Happy Holidays 🫡

[@MidnightMan]

Thank you bro! Much appreciated 👍🏽👍🏽

[@UnitedcPlugin]

I just got the pod mic in red. That mic is really awesome.

[@itzdemoticYT]

This is awsome

[@Dingerdigest]

im just starting out and i am also a ps5+laptop user and your videos really help

[@_iam.e.t]

Found your page on accident and Now I am subscribed!! Thanks for the MAC content. I should be up and streaming once i get home from deployment!

[@MidnightMan]

Thank you for service!

[@_iam.e.t]

@@MidnightMan Thank you for the support Bro!

[@Invisiblekatana]

Does the plug and play setup work with the first rodecaster? I assume it's the same but there's always some microscopic piece that makes things impossible in older setups.

[@Zaxbox]

This is very cool! Especially for an new streamer but my only issue is all of the crazy colors on the Duo buttons. It looks like something from Fischer-Price. I was also expecting a bit more explanation of the streaming setup but you do have other videos that cover that. Thanks for the video.

[@MidnightMan]

Haha fair, luckily you can customize the colors of the pads

[@sznmanny5118]

Can you do a review on the streamerx? Capture card and audio

[@unitedjose]

How do you like it so far? I just order one today. But i have seen a lot of bad reviews when plug the ps5 to it and party chat. People fight with the volume game and also the mic. Some other says catch a lot of noise sound from the ps5. Any issues experience so far????

[@julitocastillo8980]

I like this audio interface

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

I have the original podmic and the boom arm and now I want one in all white now🥴

[@TheRealFatThor]

Are there any other (cheaper) interfaces that plug right into the ps5 like this too?

[@Dasher9378]

Awesome

[@aishmagaish4793]

I have watched many of your videos to help my own streaming setup but it’s still a struggle. I was wondering if there’s a way to talk to you one on one?

[@SkellyByrd]

Do you have a audio mixer recommendation that I can use just on PS5 with a USB mic

[@rmacy3595]

i have turtle beech headphones. can these work with everything else ?

[@Anthonyblase]

Can I use this on my PC to just power my headphones and my mic for my self while I’m gaming to have good audio and mic quality

[@toneboat923]

Does the ps5 usbc cable ever give you feedback noise?

[@elibxborn]

This looks awesome. Expensive to start with though.

[@MidnightMan]

Definitely for the serious already semi-established creators I would say

[@elibxborn]

@@MidnightMan do you know of something like the duo but around $100?

[@MidnightMan]

Not that I’ve found yet

[@Itsmanchezzzzz]

What’s a good streaming laptop for console gaming especially since Black Friday is coming up

[@MidnightMan]

Working on a complete list for Black Friday, will post to my community tab

[@haies09]

Rode confirmed they’re working on more virtual channels via USB, so it’ll be like the GoXLR, just need that routing table updated 😊

[@MidnightMan]

Exactly what we all need, especially important now that GoXLR has lost most of it's support and updates.

[@haies09]

@@MidnightMan you try Rodes Unify software? Better than Elgatos Wave Link, as you can record audio and edit it. Works for more virtual channels till the new firmware gets released 😊

[@MidnightMan]

Ohh I will now!

[@ScubaSteve0208]

Do a set up video for the EVGA xr1 pro

[@MidnightMan]

I did, with Xbox here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3Wiq2bhNeCr5osi=YHOCT__l9qz4t-e5

[@Prof.Albusdumbledore]

Can you make an in depth video about connecting the Rode podcaster duo to the ps5? I’m having a hard time hearing the game audio and my discord at the same time

[@PerksOfLifeThePodcast]

Is there a specific cable needed to connect Rodecaster to PS5? 🤔 mine isn’t giving the Rodecaster sound option.

[@ronnielicciardi7481]

Can u have different dials for game audio, music, system, and mic like go xlr? I play COD and sometimes want to lower discord while having my game audio stay at a higher level

[@MidnightMan]

yep, game audio and chat can be separate using this device. In discord just set the audio output to be the rode chat source like I show.

[@user-dr1hr6hk5f]

I have the same setup how much gain do you use for your mic?

[@MidnightMan]

I kept it at it's default value of 50, added some additional gain in post (maybe too much lol)

[@orphanorbe]

Do a video for Dual PC with the Rodecaster

[@grindhard4312]

What camera are you using to record yourself? I appreciate it.

[@MidnightMan]

Canon R6m2

[@childishrare]

Can you use this for obs? And recording gameplay?

[@MidnightMan]

Yes you can, I had it running through OBS no problem. Just select the interface as an audio input in OBS

[@jamesleeuwendaal6021]

hi there i got the rodecaster duo but it dont work good with the ps5. diddent u got audio problems after like 10 min ?

[@MidnightMan]

Yeah, I reached out to my Rode contact about it

[@Besteddygamerjelly]

Super, Danke. (Keep it up. Also that is deutsch)

[@MidnightMan]

Haha thank you!

[@jesusarteaga3980]

hey i hook up my ps 5 to the rode pod caster 2 and im getting an awful screecaing sound can you help me

[@jaubee]

@midnightman PLEASE help me with these questions if you (or anyone can) 1) In regards to using a capture card to a laptop. I seen a video where you said the USB C cable should be directly plugged into your computer/laptop with no USB hub in between. BUT my laptop only has 2 USB C ports . And I need 1 for my charger to keep my laptop charged while streaming/recording. And then also have to plug in a mic or audio interface . So a USB hub will be needed. Am I going to have to buy a new laptop/computer or what’s a way around this. Cause it makes sense to have the capture card plugged right into your computer. It’s a DELL XPS 13 2n1 16gb ram (not even sure if it’s capable of streaming/recording) 2) I have a RODECASTER PRO (basically an older model of what you have in the video) I am going to use my XLR mic with that to talk to my stream BUT my question is , is there a way for me to play music for my stream (and also me) through my interface to OBS. With using the volume fader on the RODECASTER PRO to control the volume . Loving all the content you make! Been watching a lot of your videos lately

[@jaubee]

I just realized I can probably just Bluetooth my phone to the RODECASTER PRO. So disregard that question. I basically have the same setup as you. The EVGA capture card is gonna be delivered today. I have the PS5 and a laptop with the RODECASTER PRO . So I’m assuming I’ll be able to get it all set up and running. Would you be able to do a EVGA set up vid or KZbin short?

[@David-xn1cj]

Have you ever try to use other systems on it ? Nintendo Switch, ps3 etc.

[@MidnightMan]

Don’t have a switch to try it on, but I’ll play around with some other systems to see how well it works.

[@haies09]

Switch works 😊

[@robelinfernandez4835]

How do you connect the audio interface with the capture card

[@lifeofec]

You find anything on this I was wondering the same thing

[@user-rh9jq1mh4n]

Hi looking to start steaming. Could you recommend a laptop for me that’s affordable around 300-500 price mark

[@MidnightMan]

Hey, just created a list of recommendation on my community tab www.youtube.com/@MidnightMan/community

[@Bonez888]

Is this the same for Xbox?

[@Bigskirrr409]

So wat do I do if my mic not working

[@Bmo.5000]

Don’t you get the distortion that everyone else gets by people have been reporting? I have this setup and you CAN’T plug a USB-C from the PS5 to the Rodecaster Duo without getting audio distortions.

[@haies09]

No issue here

[@MidnightMan]

Yeah, I've been running into the issue. Thought it may have been a one off, but I've tested multiple more times after uploading this video and it keeps coming back. I've reached out to my contact to see if there's a timeline or fix coming soon. My hope is that Rode and PS5 team can work together to make it work as designed.

[@zodstar]

⁠@@MidnightManended up returning my Duo and getting the Rode Streamer X just to fix this. I tried multiple adapters and workarounds before I gave up though.

[@MidnightMan]

That's fair, I'm still working with them to find some answers.@@zodstar

[@mouniraboulasri]

question is do you use still avermedia live 2,1 or not?

[@MidnightMan]

Yes I do! That’s still my primary card actually

[@mouniraboulasri]

cool@@MidnightMan !!! so what is the second best capture card for all console ps5, xbox, nintendo switch...

[@mouniraboulasri]

black friday is coming@@MidnightMan

[@MidnightMan]

EVGA XR1 Pro until Elgato or EVGA release their new cards

[@mouniraboulasri]

@@MidnightMan thank you so much bro! So its avermedia live 2.1 or black fridays deals or waiting in elgato. Interesting

[@primedynamixx]

The Usb mic does not work for me either.

[@Murtis_Cathis]

I am having major issues with this set up... every 10 minutes or so my audio from the PS5 gets distorted... any idea how to fix this?

[@MidnightMan]

Rode is working on a fix for this issue.

[@Murtis_Cathis]

@@MidnightMan I do not believe that this is the case. When talking with Rode customer support they seem to be pushing the blame to Sony and the way they handle audio through USB.

[@MidnightMan]

That's... a shame... I'll keep running tests, so far I haven't encountered the issue

[@pkerry12]

do you have any weird interference at all from teh ps5 in the audio?

[@MidnightMan]

I have not experienced any, it straight up pulls game audio and takes the interfaces audio as a mic source

[@pkerry12]

@@MidnightMan yeah you need to use it more than 20 min before you get audio distorsion, its a well know issues with these, thats why no one uses the USB direct connection.

[@haies09]

@@pkerry12no issues either, might be a cable problem

[@pkerry12]

@@haies09 not not a problem with cable, they just don't support the PS5 this is from RODE support:- Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify, the distortion issue that you have described is the issue that causes the PS5 not to be compatible. From what we have seen the PS5 uses older USB standards and has trouble with newer interfaces. The PlayStation 5 doesn't sync to USB devices in a typical manner and ends up preventing many USB audio devices from working as intended. I'm afraid I have not heard of any updates regarding PlayStation 5 compatibility with the RØDECaster Pro II at this point in time. I hope this helps clarify, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.

[@haies09]

@@pkerry12 mine is working just fine 😊

[@Drako-game]

🎉

[@mikeyslowey]

You must have only had the PS5 plugged in to the RodeCaster for a few minutes, cause if you leave it connected for longer than that you will get an nasty audio squelching sound that renders using the ps5 and RodeCaster together useless. Even Rode claims they are not compatible together. I haven't been able to find a work around

[@haies09]

Solution: Get a usb sound card and run a aux from the pink port to the second XLR port and another aux from the headphone to the green port
