This is such an excellent, comprehensive video. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Game changer!

This is one of the best reviews out there on the ProCaster. Tremendous work and thank you so much guys!

By far the most concise and thorough walkthrough I've seen yet. Thanks! 👍

One of the best reviews of this wonderful unit! Thx!

This was great. The best review of how it works I have found. Can't wait to see what else you guys do with the channel

had mine 4 about a year now & I love it. Its the best audio investment Ive ever made.

This was incredibly helpful for someone like me who is just learning about all of this. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

We have a Rodecaster that we use on our show, Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, and this presentation has been very helpful - thanks so much! Great stuff guys!

The production value of this video is something you would expect from a 1 mil sub channel. Absolutely fantastic! Keep up the excellent work!

thanks for sharing great summary

Thanks for sharing! Very informative

Like many reviewers you do not seem to understand that the voice settings do not change what your voice sounds like, they actually change how the filters are applied. A good example of this is the use of the noise gate. You will find that the effect of the gate changes in how you have told the RØDECaster what your voice is like in both tone and volume. The purpose is to make changes based upon a non audio engineers understanding of complicated setting parameters.

hi then it was the game changer for you ?

I am thinking about purchasing this device and all the reviews and tutorials look great. My only question is with the 2.0 firmware update. I am unclear whether there exists an option to mute the speaker outputs automatically when enabling one of the mic channels. Coming from traditional radio, this is a standard feature on broadcast mixers so as to prevent feedback. It is also great as an indicator that the microphones are muted and hosts can hear commercials or music without necessarily wearing headphones.

Thanks for this review, I just purchased my first condenser mic the Audio Technica AT2020, and the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface both which are nice and cost effective. Your video was the catalyst for me to pause on the audio recorder and was able to cancel it, now the question is do I want to get my feet wet with the $160 unit or jump in with the $600 Rode.

The RØDECaster Pro has some convenient built-in effects for voice recording, does mix-minus automatically, and it makes interfacing with phones easier. But you could achieve similar results with other gear and plug-ins. For us, it comes down to convenience.

awesome video. I actually wanted to get one. dunno where to get here in the Philippines.

Thanks for the wonderful review. thanks for showing all the effects. only one thing missing is reverb / delay. Do you know how i can bring that into this system? Another question i have regarding live sound output, can i add the stereo output directly to powered speakers so audience can hear the same the sound? or do i need additional sound mixer for extra boost?

@TheThreeTechs

4 жыл бұрын

To add reverb or other external effects, I would use either the USB or smartphone channel if you’re not already using one of those. If using USB, you could send the audio to a computer that adds reverb in real-time using a DAW like Logic Pro X or others. The DAW should then send the return signal back to the RØDECaster Pro. This will add reverb and delay to the entire mix. You could do something similar with the smartphone jack. Just get a TRRS y-cable to split the mic/headphone connections and hook it up to external reverb box. The y-cable headphone jack would be the return from the reverb. The mono mic connection would connect to the input on the reverb.

Can the settings for noise gate, compression, etc. be manipulated at all, like increasing the compression ratio for example....or are the extents of those settings basically just "on" or "off"?

With RODECaster Pro firmware 2.1 recently released, you can now manipulate the individual parameters. With older firmware it was just on or off.

So if I have two microphones configured, should I only use the front port for the earphones instead of the respective earphone for those different microphones? I have been using one for vo and one for singing. Also, sometimes I cannot hear my triggered sounds when I press the button while in WebEx. Does this mean the sound configuration only allows for the microphone and cannot hear sound effects channel? I have been able to speak with either microphone but I can't hear the sound effects when I click the button. Thanks for any tips on this!

Great video! Question: Why I don't see a "voice" function below "microphone" I only see Microphone, Auto Processing and Level, please advise. Thanks.

I had this same question and actually this was the only reason I don't use my Rodecaster pro for my podcast. I use my Shure SM7B with a cloudlifter and dbx286s and that sound combo works for me. Unfortunately the dbx only has line out (not XLR :( ) and the Rode doesn't have a balanced line input option. I haven't experimented with using the 3.5mm input on the Rodecaster with a converter cable but that may be a valid workaround. My hope is that the Rodecaster Pro II will have a few more line level input options.

I though the SOLO green button had to do with like the mix minus? You have to have the green selected for that mic input channel to be recorded in the mix. I could be wrong, I've watched a few on the RCP back to back.

When the green solo and red mute are engaged at the same time, it allows people on headphones to hear and talk to each other without being recorded or going on air-like a private green room before you bring a guest live. This is useful if you’re playing intro or segue music and want to talk to your guest privately before you go live. Solo doesn’t affect mix minus.

Does the unit have a reverb for podcasting with voice/singer talent?

How about using the Rodecaster Pro with an iPad Pro or iPad OS via the appropriate dongles, etc? Is that possible?

Good overview, and cheers for using the actual device. Too many "reviews" out here on YT with people just talking about it without using it. hahaha Agreed, the gate with all the other effects is annoying. You can hear noise which somewhat makes your track sound a bit over processed. It can work well I'm sure. I have this but don't use the gate. I also never use the Aphex processing. One thing, just wanted to mention that a high pass filter is not for plosive control. A high pass filter is meant to remove rumble and or erroneous low end frequencies from a performance. Not sure where the Rodecaster is set. Probably around 80hz but in post people tend to adjust this anywhere in the 40-100 ish hz range. a pop filter will minimize pops from plosives as that's actual wind moving against the mic diaphragm. Multi to SD card should be available this month if not today.

@TheThreeTechs

5 жыл бұрын

Mike Bajrami Thanks for watching and the feedback. I agree that high pass filters aren’t primarily designed for pop filtering, but it did significantly reduce them in our case. The mic diaphragm, pre-amps and A/D converters can be overloaded by excessive pops, so if the high pass happens after all that, then it won’t be effective at all. As you said, high pass does help when there is excessive undesirable low frequency sound, which can often overwhelm the overall signal and more important mid and high frequency range in vocals. I’ve also heard from RØDE that internal multitrack is coming this week. Cheers!
