Virtual Rodecaster Pro - Rode Connect Software Test

[@Effect2o]

If Rode added more to this, even for a small price., they totally could give Wave or GoXLR a run for their money... This really could be a replacement for voicemeeter!!! Come on Rode.. lets make this AWESOME!!

[@glenna.fitzgerald782]

This was an awesome video. I just bought a Rode NT Mini and downloaded the Rode Connect software and this video was so helpful. You are the king of microphones and you are the very best at explaining and showing every little feature without going so deep you lose me. Thank you again for this video.

[@artysanmobile]

Excellent review, Andrew. I’m glad you gave Rode some props for the support of their older product. It’s very forward-looking of them to enhance the value of their products in this way, serving also as an effective demo of a purchase version with deeper channel control which I’ll just BET will be called Rode Connect Pro. I am really impressed by Rode, on a business level, for taking this approach.

[@somewhatfrog]

First watch, then like. 19:40 confident ending, nice.

[@Podcastage2]

I think abrupt endings are hilarious.

[@somewhatfrog]

@@Podcastage2 yes.

[@agambhasin]

I think this app should be available on mobile as well, as many of the creators, myself included, use the nt usb mini on the ipad for creating short stuff or even full podcast episodes

[@dant.6364]

Imagine if Rode enabled this to work with the Rode Wireless Go ll.

[@JonathanVarasRoco]

Thissssssss #Rode 👀☝🏻❤😯💥

Well aren't you Nostr-frikkin-damus

[@Burssty]

I like this second channel. it's very chill

[@Podcastage2]

Yeah. Less work put into stuff, and just relaxing and lower effort videos. I have a lot of fun with this stuff.

[@alaneddy4575]

Well done Rode. You are a really good company that believes in what you make. You've got my vote...and my cash!

[@gregelgie]

Great review, Bandrew. Thanks for looking at these more affordable options as well as the high end stuff.

[@arepas]

Saw they added Rode Go Wireless to the Connect compatibility. Any thoughts or review possible? Keep puttin out this great content. Appreciated.

[@libertyDude1775]

Really starting to get impressed with the additional USB microphone software processing options.

[@RichardOTalkToMeGuy]

You had mentioned 'Rode Connect Pro' plugin. I am wondering if you would be able to direct me to where that is available. I wasn't able to find it at Rode.com.

[@libertyDude1775]

@@RichardOTalkToMeGuy my comment was a hope of things to come. I would like to see, in the future, such a plugin.

[@RichardOTalkToMeGuy]

@@libertyDude1775 Ahhhhh, such a visionary ! I am ready to buy, now ! Thanks.

[@spindoctor69s]

If RODE either developed a dynamic mic version of the mini or via software updates in the future the ability to choose a mic of your own choice....this software for podcasting and studio work would be a total game changer. I suspect RODE have chosen to utilise a particular mic to bundle with the unique software so as to not kill of their hardware console the RODECASTER PRO. Using condenser mics for a podcasting set-up with everyone in the same space seems a weird decision and not great for overall audio. In a host (local) with external guests, not so much of a worry but Dynamic mics are the professional way to go. If RODE doesn't eventually allow use of dynamics with RODE CONNECT software or any mic of choice...I suspect someone else will develop similar with these options and take market share in the podcast set-up space.

[@potatopiko7083]

I love it. I never thought I’d have a basic compressor and noise gate without complicating my life with software and routing tutorials.

[@RagnarRipper]

Rode are such a great company when it comes to long time support. just look at what they've been adding to the Rodecaster since its initial release.

[@gerthinatorgaming5952]

As a "very" small you tuber it's awesome to see all products and programmes you've reviewed over the years to make my choice so much easier. Cheers bud 👍 P.s..... yes I'm here as well, don't worry not stalking ya 🤣 just catching up on my sub vids

[@bardenhick2121]

I still can’t get over the Aural Exciter’s name

[@andrewwong2000]

I bought an NT USB mini.. perfect mic for my needs. Connect is v1 and it's pretty limiting compared to Voice Meeter/Virtual Cable. Would love to see a digital mixer that replicates how a real mixer works.. like a MG10XU!

[@4seas1family]

Have you tried setting the Rodecaster Pro as an audio device? I mean from the Rode Connect Software software to the RCP. That would allow up to eight mics.

[@jhowie]

all i need now is support for the original Rode AI-1 Audio Interface.

[@kenmecone8010]

I love your videos and appreciate all the work you do. I've learned so much about microphones from your channel.

[@ac1320]

Revisiting this one since the new firmware for the Wireless Go ii includes Connect compatibility. Things are getting too spicy for the pepper! 🌶

[@cresshead]

the mute icons are weird ... personally should the non muted icon have a speaker icon and when muted have the line thru the speaker..? and turning red.. looks like it's being recorded... which it isn't.. it muted!

[@swschilke]

That move by Røde was very clever, it this this will increase the sales of NT USB Mini's quite a lot. I feel tempted to order one right now.

[@brandomaxwell]

Am writing in to let you know your fans are still getting mileage out of this how-to. Having recently acquired a PodMic USB, I haven't found this level of guidance elsewhere!

[@Gamingheadjunkie]

this was amazing however i connect my pod mic usb and my voice is just soooo deep ! is that because this software is not for rode connect ?

[@therefuge617]

Question: I’m using Rode Connect as my mic system for OBS with Zoom! I can get sound into Zoom, but I cannot hear the speaker test back into OBS! This is not the case when I use the Rodecaster Pro, but with Connect I cannot figure out the configuration? Any quick fixes you can suggest?

[@skakdosmer]

"Attenuate by negative ten dB"?? That's double negative, so it makes it louder, right...

[@the_13east]

i love the software but i need more virtual channels dude ! wtf is wrong with rode ? they could have add more channels so easy

[@ac1320]

Man. Why this kind of stuff comes out after I put hundreds of dollars into gear? This could have saved so much time, money and headaches.... Oh well. Learned tons of stuff, so no regurts!

[@Podcastage2]

All the fun analog gear!

[@johnnyb357]

This video is 100% beef! Great video.

[@ProNinjaHax]

Big Bottom sounds so good. This is great for people who don't know how to mess with VST plugins

[@tundranocaps]

Just checked your channel again randomly and found out about it. Great to know!

[@skakdosmer]

Listening via KZbin on my iPad without headphones the effects make no audible difference.

[@mugushi54]

It’s so frustrating when you watch a video to try to get help and the first screen that they show you is not the one that you see. Totally lost still.

[@huhkgerry]

which one better aural or big bottom to make our vocals sit tight with audio( sit tight with the mix)

[@brokenhero6828]

The only thing that’s missing for me, is the ability to customize the Aural exciter and Big Bottom settings…

[@hiroooooooo4656]

Does rode connect only work with NT-USB? I have a procaster and it doesn't work for me.?

[@cthulpiss]

Is there some nice software to make NT-USB Mini similar in use as Elgato Wave + Wave Link ?

[@sophiethecat9256]

if you turn on the oral exciter, your voice becomes steak, you turn it off, your voice is beef lol

[@FuzziesConnected]

Will this only work with their microphones or is it compatible with other brands?

[@IGmeanwell]

Would like to know as well. Would love something like this for my C01U Pro. I know he said it seems to only work with the mini but I wonder if Rode will update to work with others.

[@Podcastage2]

I have a timestamp in the video about that. It's only for NT-USB mini for the time being.

[@dant.6364]

Would be awesome if this worked with the Rode Wireless Go ll

[@theRTT]

If I want to use the system output, it simply doesn't work.. It never picks up any system sounds and I only hear crackling noices through my headphones when I select the Rode system output as the main output. How can I fix that? I'm using Windows btw.

[@PeterWitham]

Thanks for this walk-through and explanation. Very helpful in telling me if I should try it or not, spoiler.....I will be :)

[@jaetechevolution]

Will this work with the Rode Wireless Go II ?

[@stenner]

That would interest me too.

[@BaktaBak3]

My question was going to be "does it work with other usb mic's".......but you beat me to it ! Thanks for all you do.........you do it well . That's my beefy comment and I'm stickin to it ! :-)

[@sec21]

Out of curiosity, what's that "Logic Pro X Capture" device?

[@Podcastage2]

It's a digital device I created using Loopback Audio so I could capture it for a video that's coming out on Saturday on this channel.

[@swschilke]

You should have mentioned that it also can update the firmware of the NT USB Mini! Alongside this a support for other Røde USB gear would be great! Prefer dynamic Microphones over condenser.

[@thinkoholic9441]

Can I use RØDE Connect & NT-USB Mini’s with an Blackmagic ATEM mini ?

[@shifteleven]

I don't think so given that this is a USB mic.

[@cward2986]

Can I use the DSPif I connect the mic via 3.5 TRS through an interface rather than USB direct to the computer?

[@cward2986]

ETA I have the VideoMic NTG, which is now supported.

[@seanwebb605]

I love happy dances.

[@phillean]

Rode have mentioned in other places that they are examining the possibility of adding the connection functionality to other Rode USB microphones. I have been thinking for a while that there is need for mixers and audio interfaces to have the ability to include USB microphones as part of their input. I can imagine a situation where a group of individuals, maybe experienced podcasters, each bring their favourite USB microphones to a round table discussion, not necessarily in a studio. It would be great to be able to plug them into one device and and mix them just like analogue sources. Currently many commentators are saying oh that is too difficult technically. My response to that is once upon a time computers did not have sound cards. I can remember that time. When there is a need or a demand then developments in technology can move quickly.

[@mackymode8185]

I'd still go with Elgato's Wave Link which supports up to 9 inputs while Rode's seems to only support 3 (6 if using 4 mic)

[@rawiyahsphere]

Does the Elgato's Wave Link, support mics other than Elgato's Wave? Rode's software currently only works with NT USB Mini.

[@jhowie]

@@rawiyahsphere it now also works with Rode Videomic NTG

[@stephanieadavison]

Hey! If you had a choice between Rode with software vs Wave 3 with software, which one would you suggest or say is the best option?

[@draxx01920]

First thought that came to mind was Voicemeeter Banana/Potato but made for rode minis... and better, way better.

[@amirkuroshmoosavi9258]

amaziiiiiiiiing review. So thorough

[@koenignero]

1. No iPad App 2. Just 2 Virtual Channels (8 at Elgatos Software)

[@marekpiotrwojcicki4081]

That was usefull :) Thanks.

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

"You can turn on that big bottom, and that just gives you that low end..." Every fan of Nicki Minaj on SNL feels guilty for smiling.

[@blueridge8992]

Yeesh, that mic sounds awful regardless of what settings you used.

[@ReiBMK]

Hi man, The first time I installed RODE CONNECT it was fine for a few days. And then it suddenly won't launch. So I tried to uninstall it. Then re install it. While installing my pc crashed into Blue Screen. then my PC restarts and I re install and it installs fine and worked properly. AND THEN after 2 days it won't launch again then the process starts again to uninstall->reinstall(blue screen)->reset->reinstall->works fine THEN NOW THE CYCLE REPEATS. I DONT GET IT :(( SOMEONE PLS HELP. I can't find anything on google about this btw I'm using Rode NT-USB Mini

[@yannstewart1355]

High CPU usage for the software on my MacBook Air (2014).

[@KrispyMexican]

I guess the only other thing that I'd want to see would be how taxing it is, like how much it draws from the cpu.

[@atutuchi3992]

Thanks Man Great Job the best walk through, God bless you

[@ananda.jabbar]

Will this wrok with the Rode NT USB? it would be a godsend itf it did

[@CarbCutter75]

Nice review. The lufs export is one of my favorite Rodecaster Features. Nice to see they included that. Love that Rode keeps providing value even after the purchase!

[@burntmarshwiggle]

"Beefins it up"

[@speednews4764]

When the headphone is connected to the rode mini are we hearing the sounds with the effects ? without latency ? or to get the sounds with effect the headphone must be connected to the computer ? is that case does the latency is acceptable ? thank

[@Podcastage2]

I found that while connected to the Rode NT-USB Mini there was no latency, and yes you were hearing the effects in real time. When monitoring through the monitor output (i.e. running the mix out through another interfeace) you are still hearing effects but hearing a slight delay.

[@speednews4764]

@@Podcastage2 Thank you very much for your answer from France :)

[@alexcorll90]

I'm a little confused(though I probably shouldn't be). If you set Recording mode to Stereo, it doesn't actually produce a stereo image, you would still need a second NT USB Mini right to get a real stereo recording? Or does it pan the recording the mono recording left and right?

[@Podcastage2]

You're not getting a stereo image. You're just getting a stereo mix down of the recording (mics are still mono). If you select multitrack, you would be able to mix the tracks in post.
