This is the most professional high quality channel I know. Content, editing, audio, light, positive, informative .. everything.

Appreciate the mention! Rodecaster + iPhone is you level up your Clubhouse audio. I agree with it being a great purchase. Best thing I’ve picked up in the past few years.

Just got my setup complete: Shure SM7B, Gator Frameworks 3000 boom arm, Cloudlifter C-1, RodeCasterPro and Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones. Loving these help videos!

I use mine for broadcasting live college basketball for an NAIA university. I LOVE it. The buttons are used to fire off commercials during media timeouts, and the built-in compression helps during exciting moments and prevents huge spikes in mic level. The bluetooth is also great in case I've prerecorded an interview on my phone and need to play it back live. I can highly recommend its use for live settings.

I can’t stop watching these rodecaster pro videos! Thank you for being so passionate about this device

1. set to watch later, 2. binge watch this later 3. post this in community section for the winners who received a RCP already from Savvy to binge watch it too. Awesome Tom everything you produce is awesome!

When I started podcasting in 2007 I never imagined there would be such a device that could do everything the rodecaster can do. It is truly an amazing piece of tech. Highly recommended.

Aloha Tom, I REALLY enjoyed your video on the RCP. I am the founder of a non-profit community broadcasting company on Hawaii Island and have been seeing so many videos on the RCP, but by far, yours is the most detailed without over-flooding us viewers with info. Very cheerful and I am looking forward to viewing more of your videos! I am getting my RCP This Friday the 14th of January, I can't wait! I feel after watching your videos I will be ready!

I’ve watched your first video, then I got hooked. It’s simple, understandable, not too technical but explains things perfectly. Happy subscriber here

Thank you so much. I have had the Rødecaster pro for two years and could never find out what the mix minus meant and when I could use it. This is the first explaination that I understood

This video convinced me to add this to my simple work at home ecosystem. Rewatching it again and again!

Excellent Video as always Tom , could you possibly do a video as how to use it for a small online radio station, I have seen one , but yours are so clear and concise , I worked in radio in the UK many years ago and now thinking of setting up a small station as a hobby .

Your videos are always so crispy and inspire me so much! Keep doing amazing work Tom!

I’m glad you cleared it up about the headphone noise because I was just wondering about that too

11 episodes into my podcast, and my Rodecaster Pro is a god send. Bought one after watching your video and seeing how much it helps production

Thank you for this video. When I first started watching this video, I thought, "I have had the RodeCaster Pro long enough that I know all that he is about to tell me", then you talked about USB Mix/Minus and then I got an answer to a problem of my audience not hearing my guest in a Zoom Interview. I classic case of Know-It-All Syndrome. Thank you, Tom.

Hey Tom! Just bought an Open Box RodeCaster From Ebay for my Syndicated Music Countdown, which will be aired on 100’s of great radio stations from coast to coast, and the reason I decided to buy the RodeCaster is it simplifies my work flow, verses manually inputting sound into a DAW. and the audio quality is amazing on the RodeCaster Pro+

Omg I commented about the hiss previously. You are awesome about mentioning preamps. Thanks for the sanity save!!

Yes. This video is much more valuable for me than a RCP 2 wishlist would have been. Now I want one even more instead of feeling the need to wait on a newer version that may never come. Fantastic as always.

I originally purchased the Rodecaster for just a podcast, but then I realized it’s great for live streaming and radio broadcasts.

Hey Tom ! Yesterday I received my Rødecaster Pro and my mic too. I got the EV ER20 and the sound right out of this setup, without any post processing, is astonishing ! So I wanted to thank you for your great videos since they helped a lot to make up my mind.

Wow, thanks for the shout out Tom! 🙌🏽💯 Appreciate the support! Awesome video as always! It’s been an awesome tool in Clubhouse and content creation. I love the Rodecaster Pro!

Thanks for all the tips as always. I used the rodecaster for a 10hr livestream, the ability to toggle between taking calls, playing music, and my sound board makes the rodecaster irreplaceable. Great tips!

I love my Rodecaster. I use it for audiobook recordings and radio shows. I always go straight to Adobe Audition and keep all processing off so perhaps it is overkill for my needs, but I still love it.

I started watching vids on this last night. I am getting one in a few hours "new" off Craigslist for $450. I did my due diligence... They own a mortgage company in Santa Clarita, CA (nice non-diverse crime free area), they bought it new from Best Buy in Aug 2021, still in packaging, they have the receipt and it will still have 6+ months of warranty. When I called them they were with their kids headed to a museum downtown (Sunday). I didn't want a used or refurbished one and I didn't really wanna spend $660. So I think I won! Also note: I have been using Craigslist in Los Angeles for 20 years and have NEVER had a bad experience. (probably because I can smell a scam from a mile away)

I don't have Rodecaster Pro, and I am not planning to buy it.. BUT I am enjoying watching your videos anyway 😂 Thank Tom. 🙏

Thanks for the help on the headphone noise tip - I thought it was just me going crazy.

I got the Rodecaster Pro to do a podcast together with my wife and it is just such a great tool. As you said, the sound of the headphones is not good, especially when you have a music track. It doesn't fit in with the quality of all the other parts. Rode should really fix that for the next version. This week I was interviewed by a radio station. I had the call of the journalist on the TRRS input from my iPhone and my voice on the mic input and had the Rodecaster set to multitrack recording on USB. After that I used Audacity to extract the two tracks and sent the WAV file to the journalist. She confirmed that she now has my voice in studio quality to use for her radio feature. A big thanks to you, Tom, for your videos that helped me a lot in the preparation for my podcast and for the video livestreams that I also do now (bought a Rodecaster Pro and an ATEM Mini Pro ...). You have a good style of explaining things, your English is very clear so we non-native speakers can understand it and I like your humor and your playing with words (you really give sound advice :-) And, I admit it, I also got a blue XLR cable for my desk mic. My wife, however, liked yellow better than purple :-)

The Headphone amp thing really made a difference for me, i always have my noise gate to angry, because i thought there was a hiss Thanks Tom!

Every time I hear you talk about the rode caster, I am so tempted to buy it early! must resist!!!

The best purchase I have brought. Man your video looks so good.. super crispy

Huge fan of this podcast man, I can only hop you are dropping tons of affiliate links and make a small fortune for all of the knowledge bombs you drop my man! Much appreciated

On the iPhone piece, I’ve been using it from day one through Bluetooth and it’s been great. Use it in clubhouse, IG Live, etc.

Great tips, Tom!

Tom's got BARS for this intro!! Also, thanks for the influence on the Rodecaster Pro. Just got one a week ago and loving it already, learning with every video.

I use my Rodecaster Pro every day thanks too, you Tom. This is a game-changer for anyone's audio setup. Highly recommend one. Great tips 😎

Great tips + guidance. My Rodecaster ships 2moro. Stoked to get my hands on it and start learning.

Agree. Agree. Agree. Great video Tom.

I don’t own a Rode Caster and don’t plan to get one. Still watched the entire video and enjoyed it very much. You talked about the Rode Caster so often on your videos and podcasts I was wondering why you didn’t create such a tips tricks video already 😀 Have a nice day mate and can’t wait your next piece of content 🤤😁

You helped me decide to buy the Rodecaster Pro... and I love it! Thank you so much!

What an awesome video, Tom! Thank you so much, sir!

I say it b4 and Still my favorite KZfaq channel and I purchase rodecaster pro and use it for every audios from 1 year now because your recommendation and I appreciate it . And also I am in love with it because all simple use and strong features and also with the supporting stuff who always hear what we need and added many features but and big thing i miss it in this beast is the audio routing like Goxlr and if they add it the rodecaster pro will be the most complete audio mixer was ever made .

Thanks so much for your videos. They’re very much my comfort viewing content. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

Best Audio/Video/Live Streaming Channel I know. Keep it up! 😊 I would love to own a Rodecaster 😑! Hopefully one day :)

Thats exactly what I need for my videos. Thanks for the information.

Awesome as always. Thank you Tom.

Thanks Tom, learned A LOT from this video.

Every time you have a video on the RCP, I end up wanting it more and more. I edit three podcasts on my network but only appear in one so probably not time to upgrade yet considering I just did a few months ago but I am blown away by all the features this thing packs.

I knew next to nothing on the technical aspects of putting out a podcast; I just knew I was going to start one. Your vids have been real instrumental in my learning all the in's and out's, what gear to take a look at, what to consider in mics and how to get my message out there. I'm real appreciative you're out there so thanks for the hard work. I won't be tacky and plug my channel in the comment but I followed your tips how to get it out there and now it's time for me to be consistent and work on building my audience. Thanks for all the tips!

Love showing the settings-- all the effects turned on. I haven't played with that.

Imagine plugging in 4 huge mixers at a concert for a live event? That’s just awesome.

I got one last year for a podcast I host with my friend! It’s fantastic would highly recommend!

Excellent friendly presentation style really learnt a lot thanks

Thank you so much! Answered many questions I had. All your videos are so very helpful!

The Decksaver is a GREAT addition to any Rodecaster! And an awesome place for stickers ;)

I’m glad they have the re20 as a mic option in the settings, I found that worked perfectly. Only thing I need to adjust is the noise gate and compression. Oh and maybe the ducking feature needs to be global on the board, not just through the 4 main xlr channels

Aye!!! Nice Plug brother! Feels good to know I introduced you to The Great Diana Gladney! Lol. 🙂🙌🏾🔥

Thanks for the tips, and I know exactly what you mean about the effects. When I got my RCP last year, I cranked the effects up to 11. Then sense kicked in (and Rode published the individual videos on each effect), so I reset the effects and started again with them going much more subtle this time (and I backed up the settings when I was happy so I could revert if I messed up again!). I’m now publishing 3 podcast episodes a week thanks to the RCP, and thanks to you for all your videos extolling its virtues!

Thanks for the great content in this video, and your KZfaq content in general. As for the RODEcaster, I love it. I reluctantly spent the money because the RODEcaster was loaded with so many desirable features. But what really pleased me was the quality of the pre-amps. I was confident that they'd be OK, but they are REALLY GOOD. I bought a Dynamite SE in line preamp for my gain hungry EV320 mic, but the RODEcaster provides plenty of clean, crisp gain by itself. THANKS AGAIN for your helpful content.

Sweet video and very informative Tom. Thanks!

Another great video Tom!

I don’t even own a rodecaster pro but still watched the whole video! Great tips, Tom!

Another pro tip: you can use the Rodecaster to iPhone TRRS cable option when hosting a Clubhouse (new social app) call on your iPhone in order to get superior audio quality instead of relying on the iPhone mic.

I just learned how the mix minus works recently. I was having an issue where when I do interviews on my livestream, my guest would be echoing. Oddly, I didn’t have this problem at first so I was under the impression that the mix/minus just worked out the box. I’m not sure what changed, but now I see that there’s a switch that has to flipped to stop the echoing. Only problem with having the M/M switch on is that if you play audio through the USB while the mix minus is on your guest won’t be able to hear it!

Tom this video is very useful! Thanks a lot!

Great video! Loved the tips and I couldn’t possibly make a video without using my rodecaster pro! It’s such a great tool!

Hey Tom! Great video as usual! This is the perfect opportunity for me to say THANK YOU for all the help and inspiration you've given me since I subbed your channel many months ago. I got the Rodecaster because of you (as well as a whole load of other gear haha) and I absolutely love using it for my work which includes running a large Performing and Digital Media Arts Academy remotely and teaching my students in style! But you also gave me the confidence to start my podcast which is a huge source of fun for me and I'm soon gonna start a KZfaq channel as well. You have a way of making people believe they can actually do stuff they want to try and it's just been awesome to be on the receiving end of it! Best wishes from Germany!

Always enjoy your videos man. These are so helpful, as you know, the Rodecaster Pro has been a struggle to fully understand as a streamer! Thanks bro!

Definitely gonna have to experiment with the tips in this video. Love the Rodecaster Pro so far

This whole time, I had no idea what the green ear button was. Hahaha. Great tips as always!

Greetings from Morocco ! Great video as usual. Thanks for the tips Tom!

simply love all your videos. Thank you!

Thank you so much! You're a blessing!

Pun Markers: 0:12 - 5/10 always a good start 2:30 - 8/10 ok good one 8:44 - 8/10 nothing to add 9:15 - 10/10 the best one yet, subtle but gold 14:49 - 7/10 good final Hey great ratings today!

With this device outdoor HD live broadcast will become more convenient。

I have never used a cable connecting my iPhone into the RCP. I am connected through Bluetooth and I haven't had *any* issues. I use it for conference calls every day.

Love Mix Minus!

Love my Rodecaster!!

@14:03 I agree and struggle with the price argument. I will only be recording a single mic with a single headphone and when I start pricing out a setup that is tailored to what I will get out of the Rodecaster Pro, the hundred or so dollars I save leaves me with a lot more equipment to hook up and monitor with more complicated setup and adjustments and still doesn't give me the results that I get with the Rodecaster Pro. As much as I wish Rode would create a paired down/smaller version with 1 or 2 XLR inputs and maybe half the sound pads for around $400, I know it's still worth it to save up the extra money and just pick up the Rodecaster Pro.

Actually RODE says, that the Solo button is not affecting the recording. If you activate one channel with the solo button, you just hear this channel through your headphones, but still all the other channels get recorded.

Thanks you FOR this very good vídeo. Have a good continuation,🧡👍

Loving your videos sir. Always very informative and I like some of the jokes as well...lol. Did you ever get a chance to or plan to test the zoom podtrak p8 ? Thanks

Appreciate all the information bro… Super helpful ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Awesome as always!

Thanks for all the your info on the rodecaster pro. Based upon your videos I decided to get one for my various projects. Just one note on the green "solo" buttons for each channel. They do not impact that particular source being in the Recording - they impact that source being on the Headphone out (lower right front or headphone out 1). Just a clarification for some newer folks who might not get the implication of the "solo" terminology. To stop something on the recording - use the red mute for each channel. Now I need to watch more of your videos to figure out mic options for video - as it seems sometimes you are using the one in the camera shot, and one not. Thanks for your videos.

RØDECaster Pro - 3 Mini tips 1. Phone calls Just like Tom mentioned with trrs adapter you can use it for phone calls on your iPhone (lightning adapter) or Android (USB C adapter) Why? A) Have good sound during phone call, sometimes there are issues with bluetooth headset
(other party will never complain they can’t hear you properly) if run via RØDECaster B) Hit the record button - if you need to record the conversation 2. Red button Did you know when you turn it off you don’t need to confirm yes ? Just click the red button again and it turns off 3. Don’t let the loudspeakers PLOP When turning on: RØDECaster first then the speakers When turning off: Speakers first then RØDECaster Not sure if the loud PLOP comes with all speakers but definitely with active ones @TomBuck - what speakers are you using?

This video is really good! I use the rode for podcasts only. I use my zoom p8 for zoom calls and interviewing people for my radio show. Your channel is really good! You seem like you would be a good teacher. User friendly with your words.

Took me FOREVER to figure out the noise issue with the headphone preamp. Life was so much better after that lol. Other than that, the Rodecaster is just an amazing piece.

Tom theirs one thing you are forgetting when it comes to the PODMIC. most complain they don’t get the most out of their PODMIC But this is the problem. It’s not the fact that they don’t use the cloudlifter or a microphone activator. The Problem is they don’t Master their sound. It’s very very crucial that you Master your audio. It’s very very important for any podcaster and live streamer to Master their audio. Their are several mastering Softwares and Programs that will master your audio. My favorite is Emastered. Please Tom mention that to your viewers in your next video. As soon as I started mastering my audio I realized that a cloud-lifter was not even necessary. Even with a Cloud-lifter your audio is not as good as when you master it.

Great episode - need to get one for my classroom - students would love to work with the rodecaster - also rodecaster made it into Wandavison ep 4 - rodecaster is so cool it's in the Marvel Universe

I just gotta say your videos are just the best! And the fact you're such a Rodecaster Pro lover makes it even better lol How do you do to get such a high volume with the windshield and being that far from the microphone? I have the same setup (Rodecaster Pro, Mic and windshield) and I don't get enough gain to do what you do in the video!

Tom awesome channel! Thanks for the videos. Question I’m having trouble on getting a good sound from my 🎤 I’m using rode pod mic. Do you have a video on your audio settings?

Great video. Thanks for the tips!

My Rodecaster Pro sits under my desk under a dust cover with all the audio processors cranked up to 11. Perhaps I need to watch your video a few more times, Tom.

Bro, you really laid the cheese on thick in this one! LOL Great info, Tom and entertaining as always. You really... creamed the corn... with this one.

Yes! I found I could hear the hiss too. I thought maybe it was because of electronics in the studio..

Would love to see a video on running the rodecaster pro thru USB c with a Samsung tab s7 plus. Also where did u get the desk pad?

Great video Tom. Always very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. And how do I get on your list to get a deck saver for my RCP as a gift 😆😆😆

As a fellow high school a/v teacher, I have to say your videos are always incredibly helpful and informative. I do have one question though, where do you get your shirts?! Every time I fire up one of your videos, I find myself saying, "nice shirt, Tom!". Anyway, love the channel, love the podcasts, stay safe and good luck!
