This was exactly what I was wondering. And I couldn’t find a video on it. Thanks for the post!

[@davidlester5790]

Great video just put my mind at rest and saved me a lot of time thanks for this excellent video

Thank you bro exactly what I was looking for

Hey. I'm happy the video helped 👍😉

Thank you so much. That’s a brilliant idea

Hi Mark you can also use the the headphone jack 3.5mm on the front right panel & the volume controls from No 1 headphone control knob.Good video CHEERS MATE.

[@TheRealPictureTV]

I found your video interesting. I actually called Rode Tech support with this very question just a few days ago. They said if you run from a headphone output that you are going to get a mono feed only. Their recommendation was to use the L/R monitor outputs. I haven't tested it yet so can't verify your report of interference using it that way. I want to run XLR from the Rodecaster to a mixer on my DSLR.

[@carlosvaquerofoto]

Have you done any more tests on this? I would like to connect the Rodecaster pro to my dslr for alive streaming video and I would like to do it as good as possible, hehehe

[@supremejoseph]

I can't wait to get mine to start podcasting

[@BBQCrasher]

Wow you sound great

[@mannytalksfooty]

OMG!!!! Mate thank you so much. I've been thinking of how to do this. Great vid. Defo going to help my work flow now.

Thank you was trying to find a way also cause the audio out left right wasn’t working on the camera

[@1357973328]

I am doing a cover song , could I do with rode caster accompanied by a youtube karaoke music from computer or cellphone source & do recording for my cover song, & will there be resulting nice sounds with a little expected reverb & with a little echoe result upon my final recording song? Hear you around, right now watching da ROMA con AMOR!

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Hi. Ok, you could record the backing music onto one of the sound pads on the rodecaster from your phone via bluetooth or trrs cable, then press record and press play the sound pad and use one of the 4 mic input to record vocals. You can also connect your computer via usb and record the backing music onto the rodecaster sound pad that way. Alternatively, you could connect your phone or computer, play the sound on either device and record on the rodecaster while singing into one of the mic inputs. But to answer your question quickly, yes it can be done.

[@DomSharpeXL]

hey i noticed your music was low when you switched to the phone cam, is that an issue i would have to worry about?

[@ThomasB1694]

Thank you so much! Only video on KZbin that explains this!! Quick question... What software do you use to edit your videos??

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Hi Andrew. Many thanks. I use the "Youcut" app quite a bit because its handy when on the go. 👍

Question: Can you use two outputs to two DSLR cameras....an A Role and a B Role? No sync.

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Hi. I'm going to assume that yes you can as long as you have 2 spare headphone sockets to use as an output to the DSLR inputs. I'll test it out for you and let you know for sure 👍

[@3rdstageproductions589]

@@MarkYoungMedia Thanks Mark

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Hi. That's a yes! I set up 2 Gopros and ran an aux 3.5mm cable from 2 headphone ports into the mic inputs of the gopro's and it worked fine. I had the gopro's audio set to "line in". Its trial and error getting the levels right with the gopro's because u cant monitor the sound going in, but if I was using my Canon 80D and Sony A7iii I would have been able to monitor through the camera. Hope this helps 👍

[@3rdstageproductions589]

@@MarkYoungMedia Thanks Mark ! It helps a lot. Question: Is each headphone output jack dedicated to a specific channel?...or does each headphone jack contain all the elements of the mixer, like each headphone act as a master output...containing 4 channels , sound effects, and phone calls, etc.

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Yeah, everything comes out of the headphone socket. A recent vid I posted I was doing new years eve phone calls with my daughter. That was recorded using a Gopro and a line out from the headphone socket and it recorded everything.

[@bluelavatv3323]

Really wish it was a link for the cable to run from the rodecaster to the dslr

[@jiehoes]

Thanks. Done!

[@Mazhar9999]

Hi Mark ! could i use the same method as a output voice source in to the pc to !!!!!!!

[@luke_1234]

Why did the audio sound different from the DSLR to Note8 if the source was both from the soundboard?

[@theflyfiferspodcast]

Do you think it would work with GoPro cameras.

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Apologies for the very late reply. I haven't had much time to get on KZbin the last few months bar to upload some short vids. To answer your question, I just tested it with a Gopro hero 8 with the media mod, and it worked fine. I did have to go into gopro's settings and change the ext mic settings to "line in", then I did a few test vids to get the levels right as you cant monitor your sound on a gopro like you can with a few DSLR's and mirrorless cameras. The Gopro hero 9 has a sound graph when the media mod is attached, so that will give some indication. Hope this helps, apologies again for the late reply.

[@theflyfiferspodcast]

@@MarkYoungMedia what did you use to line out from the rode to line into the gopro?

[@MarkYoungMedia]

@@theflyfiferspodcast I used a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Aux cable from one of the headphone ports on the Rodecaster to the mic input on the Gopro media mod. I changed the gopro external mic settings to "line in".

Hey mate. I leaved in Ireland for 7 years but closer to Dublin Naas Killshe House...I loved Ireland 🇮🇪 and meet lots of friends...I’m coming back soon..I also been and stay in Cork that was my favorite place to stay ever near Paul St. I had an apartment in Dragheda if the M50 tool booth that we’re I staid most of the time-but travel most of Ireland. What a small world. How can we connect and talk ?

[@watertowerpodcast9472]

Probably a dumb question but does that mean the audio and video are saved as one unit?

[@dasilvagaming101]

What type of cable are you using to connect the rodecaster pro to your dslr

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Hi Andrew. I'm using a standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable with a 3.5mm to 6.5mm adapter (the adapter you get with most headphones)on the Rodecaster end.

[@dpl4563]

Is a TRRS or TRS cable needed?

[@mrspowerwash5690]

Can you run the setup you are using now and while interviewing etc. bring in a phone call live on bluetooth while using the camera setup/vlog?

[@MarkYoungMedia]

Hi. Anything that I ran through the Rodecaster came out in the recording no problems. Because I was sending the audio out from the headphone socket, anything that can be heard on a set of headphones was heard on the Canon 80D's recording. Your second question: I have never used the saramonic wireless mics so I cant comment on them, but I do have the Rode Wireless go set. The inputs on the Rodecaster are 4 XLR inputs, a TRRS input and a USB input. Using the wireless go, I plugged the receiver into the XLR input using Rode's own XLR adapter. With this method i had interference. It was masked slightly because of the noise-gate settings but it was obviously there. I then plugged the receiver into the TRRS input using a standard 3.5mm AUX cable and it worked with no interference BUT I had to put the Wireless Go on full output level and turn up the channel on the Rodecaster fairly high but it still sounded fine. Hope this helps. Like and subscribe!! ;)

[@carlosvaquerofoto]

@@MarkYoungMedia have you found any other way to bring external wireless mics into the rodecaster pro without interferences?

[@PRAISEGODMEDIA]

I connected the camera through a 3.5mm cable from the front of the rodecaster pro panel into the camera. The first time, every sound gets recorded. But, once I stop the video to listen and then try a second test the sound effects don't get recorded only my voice. I shut off the rodecaster pro and turned it back on. I did another test and all audio was recorded. I am frustrated because I do not want to shut off the panel every time I am about to record audio. This doesn't make sense.

[@zachbrock2585]

I am having trouble syncing up the audio from the rodcaster to the video that I recorded of the podcast. Any ideas?

[@thetwelveoclocksirenpodcas4881]

Me too. The sync is fine but we get a buzz.

[@DeanReynoldsMusic]

Do you have a Jamaican background? I may have heard a little . Also, you said .. Tree... instead of.. Three 😃

[@RedCityFit]

I am getting a mono sound from it. So hear sound only on one headphone

[@thefcpodcast7886]

You must be using a mono lead (one black strip) or you are using a 3.5 to 6.5 convertor that is mono rather than stereo.

[@voramai6286]

I'm trying to find a video on how to incorporate this when using the elgato for gameplay. There's no video on KZbin this is the closest I can get

[@Killer12340000]

Omg I'm in the same shoe as you. Just bought the 4ks+ and I'm trying to find different ways where everything is as simple as possible. Also bought the rodecaster yesterday hopefully everything fits for me.

[@mrspowerwash5690]

One more newbie question - I have the saramonic wireless mics can i use them with the rodecaster pro ? multiple wireless mics at once? can it be used ith the video setup your are setup with now?
