USB mics can now be used with the RØDECaster Pro II/Duo! (Firmware 1.3.2 beta)

[@PodcastMeister]

Update (at 6:04 in the video) As of firmware 1.3.4 (landed on January 25,2024) "Ducking can now also be applied to the sound channels"

[@whitefoxplays]

Waiting for Rode to add more virtual inputs capable of utilizing the physical controls!

[@lNiizz]

im in the same boat. been trying to have a reason to move on from the GoXLR. this device would be it IF only it had the same virtual functions and routing table.

[@haies09]

Any time now 😊

[@KuyaMagik]

Thank you this is exciting! The feature im waiting for is to select the channels that ducking can affect, also program the ducking to a certain channel, for example if an audio is played from channel 3 it will duck down the volume coming out of channel 2, (In my stream, gifts play sounds, and i want the gift sounds to turn the music down from my dj decks automatically so i dont have to keep manually doing it.

Thanks for keeping me up to date on the new updates! I have a Rodecaster duo and have a bad habit of never checking for updates.

I love that Rode has competition in this space now, it’s making them drive forward. You can also use the wireless Rode mic now too, so that’s another mic.

[@PodcastMeister]

True. About wireless mics: they are indeed „another“ mic that you can use, but it‘s not an „additional“ mic as it occupies one of the existing mic inputs - that‘s why I think that the USB mic compatibility is even more important, as it actually adds one more mic input option.

[@RastaHenkie]

Can you now use a USB mic plus headset for the host and two lav mics with the Rode wireless Pro?

[@domTT]

so the limitation is that other USB mic that is not made by RODE does not work. I wonder if Mackie DLZ will have that soon.

[@wayneknetter]

When you plug headphones into the usb mic are you hearing everything from the caster as well? If so that is very clever and technically you have a 3rd or even 4th headphone if you are on the duo with nth-100m plugged in

[@GoreGamer]

This is Badass. So glad i picked up this one over the Mackie thanks to you!

[@HomesickMac]

Oooooh yeah! I'll now be able to connect my Video Mic NTG as a backup - or have it anywhere else in the room when I'm doing my workshops and don't want to have a lav mic on me... Sweet job Røde!

[@kalkydra]

Good content, your video looks laggy.

[@PodcastMeister]

Thanks for the feedback, I‘ll look into it.

[@foglebr]

Heh, just saw a text error at 1:57. UBS instead of USB for the NT-USB mini. I’m wondering if the stutter/lag that’s visible is from an over-cranked shutter speed? I’ve now purchased both a RODECaster Pro II and a Duo for my podcasting and streaming work.

[@PodcastMeister]

Hi, thanks! The lag was because of framerate settings in one of the cameras - sorry for this.

[@foglebr]

That too would cause issues. 😅 Isn’t it fun how easily it is to accidentally change settings. 🙃

[@xenor9262]

I see that Rode recommends using mic monitoring directly from the microphone. Can you still hear all effects and other channels when monitoring this way? It seems like you're not plugged into the VideoMic GO II with your headphones, did you monitor from RØDECaster? Is there a delay?

[@roninstormYT]

now i know it only works with the rode usb mics ? can it work with the elgato wave 3 microphone ? o use the elgato wave 3 as my starter mic . i soon buy this but i was told some people use the elgato wave xlr hook it up on the rode caster duo . i know it wont work but can someone acknowledge it work my is shipping next week on Friday

[@WillyMenendez]

Can I use a yeti USB mic/?

[@PodcastMeister]

No, only Røde USB mics.

[@benjiang9789]

Have tried, in vain. It doesn't work.
