12 Reasons To Get The Rodecaster DUO

[@jiggymig]

What a lovely accent, ZY I love the way you speak and you’re also clear and precise!👏🏾

[@benjiang9789]

And charming voice!

[@yevolution]

That on the go live no latency audio processing, rather then the voicemeeter software, is a huge plus for me,, so much that it justifies this 500 dollar purchase I plan to invest on soon.

[@djmickeyTV]

Honestly this mixer should have included the audio mini jack so audio sources for DJs etc can connect with a stereo signal directly. Hoping someone can see the need for this and include it

[@NinoAmerica]

How about the new Mackie?

[@lNiizz]

nice review. the one thing that its missing is a software for streaming capabilities i.e something like the GoXLR which has a Mic, Chat, Music, Game, Console, Line in, Line out, System and Sample virtual audio control which can be applied to any of the 4 faders on the device. if Rode had that on this device it would be THE perfect device for majority of cases.

[@7nders]

actually you can with the rode unify software

[@lNiizz]

@@7nders yes but with a minor delay and only on one fader i believe.

[@7nders]

@@lNiizz yeah i just seen that. rode made the perfect audio mixer without a software...

[@TheMountainMan]

Just pick up an elgato stream deck + for that

[@lNiizz]

@@TheMountainMan “just spend another £200” is basically what you just said there

[@ONLYFEJMZZZ]

This is amazing bro! :D

[@daltoncollins6868]

Can I use my rode nt-usb mic its a usb-c to usbc plug in for the mic or do I need an xlr mic

[@SohNatan]

I wish they had a good onboard noise supressor on the processing. That is the only thing I think it’s missing if the idea is being an all in solution

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

does the rodecaster pro 2 have that feature ?

[@BerserkeR_031]

This is what I'm currently researching... I have no idea if this product has a downward expander, attenuating low background noise even further. To be used in combination with all of the other processes in the signal chain, compressor, noise gate, de-esser, etc... If it doesn't have a downward expander the listener will keep hearing background noise every time the noise gate opens. This is kind of a deal breaker...

[@KsaweryKarwacki]

One thing that stops me from upgrading is the lack of line-in without sacrificing mic inputs. I would love to have usb to 3.5mm adapter for those cases when you need an additional analog signal.

[@lyianx]

This is my hangup as well. Lack of non-mic analogue inputs. granted, i can very likely get away with using the 2nd mic input for this and it wont be that big a deal. but still, would have been nice to have an Analogue Line-in port on the back.

[@KsaweryKarwacki]

@@lyianx oh you absolutely can but it will be mono so you cannot even connect stereo output from dj controller (or any other modern stereo audio source) to duo

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

what's the line in used for ?

[@MannyBeInvesting]

@@lyianx Same here but i dove in and its emotional.... but I literally never used the 2nd mic input on my Gen 1 or GoXLR and I only used one analog Input. lmao just do it!

[@catjack90]

Hey what a nice video, now I really want to get one of these, but I've seen many people complain it doesnt have real time monitoring and a considerable delay, what is your take on this matter?

[@TravisMcInroy]

So, does the Pro II have all of the same features as the Duo, but with two extra inputs?

[@DennisSnake]

how many rode wireless go transmitter i can connect to DUO?

[@ThomasDeWeerdt]

Two

[@C8Quest]

Nice unit! I am buying tonight.

[@goldiedylan1]

I already bought a mic. Its USB and i use it for gaming with my pc. Its not Rode brand unfortunately. Could i use a USB to 3.5mm adapter for it to be compatible?

[@AngelOfSuburbiaTV]

Same issue for me. USB connection on my mic. Currently straight into my PC.

[@goldiedylan1]

@@AngelOfSuburbiaTV right and I want the duo. I'm hoping an adapter to 3.5mm or XLR will work. I don't want to spend money and find out later so I'm hoping someone knows

[@zy_cheng]

USB mics don't work natively with the Rodecaster products - if your USB mic has a 3.5mm Line/headphone out, you could potentially use that to send an analog signal to one of the Rodecaster Duo's inputs using an adapter like the VXLR or a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter, assuming the mic can power itself.

[@NR-pn6mn]

Great job dude.

[@Ronronjuicee]

will 250 ohm headphones be loud enough on this interface?

[@andreasdk]

Awesome review. You have a lot of echo in your studio. Your Shure SM7B seems to handle it very well while the wireless Rode mics were struggling. Is there any in-build software in Rodecaster DUO to heavily reduce echo? I'm normally using the echo remover plugin from Crumple Pop in post - but it isn't great and it often crashes - and it is of no use for live streaming.

[@sunnystefan]

Hey I had the RODECaster Pro II and have since swapped it out for the RODECaster Duo so I can weigh in here. Unfortunately neither device has any onboard processing effect capable of reducing or suppressing microphone echo.

[@JefeMaestro-qd6sb]

@@sunnystefanwhat is better? rodecaster duo or redecaster pro II

[@sunnystefan]

@@JefeMaestro-qd6sb The Pro II is better if you the larger size doesn't put you off.

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

My only issue is the re-investment for those of us who has the RCP 2. I don’t know if I want to drop 500.00 for another rode product.

[@mylifeisbroken34]

Hello. Can you recommend an audio interface for live broadcast and dubbing? If possible, you can also give microphone advice. My total budget for the audio interface and microphone is $1,000. I don't want to spend more than I need. I'm very undecided and I can't decide whether I should buy a Rodecaster Duo style product or whether the ID14 will do the job as well. I would be happy if you help

[@garyrussell8222]

I hear that the 3.5 jack in the front can be used as a third mic input as well as the 2 xlr’s could you confirm?

[@RastaHenkie]

Yes, you can have a total of 4. 2 XLR, one USB mic and the 3.5 jack.

[@MarcusOSullivan123]

I don't see any videos on your channel about the RØDECASTER Pro II. I'm wondering if the duo is the smaller version of the original RCP with extra features or is it's a smaller version of the RCP II?

[@AverageLarryGaming]

Just a smaller version with less mic input and less smart pads. Also a key difference is the duo doesn’t have a physical record button and instead has a digital one on the touch screen.

[@scarvello]

Might be a silly question but is this made to focus more on streaming using mics or so it more focused on music production?

[@hellolau]

Yes streaming podcasting using mics and or phones ✌️

[@babdcs]

Thanks, good video!

[@DreamItMakeitSellit]

Nice Review thank you.

[@Extendia]

Is there active monitoring? Am I able to hear myself through headphones? For closed heaphones as the beyerdynamic? Does it work with 80 ohm headphones?

[@realerwinonair]

yes

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

when you say original do you mean rode caster pro or rode caster pro 2 ? I wanna know the difference in this one and the rode caster pro 2? do I get all these features in the rodecaster pro 2 ?

Why can’t all KZbinr reviews be like this? concise to the point meat and potatoes about features specs and usage examples, I hate! Those video tubers who talk about bs mumble jumbo about themselves and other irrelevant junk just to pad out the video, I really wish KZbin would give us a complete ban of channels so you don’t see those channel permanently 😅

Sounds like you have good info, but so much Lingo that a Newbie like me doesn’t get it really, shame.
