Rodecaster Pro II Review / Walkthrough / Explained
Рет қаралды 64,846
Күн бұрынToday I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Rodecaster Pro II which is the new gold standard for USB mixers. I compare this to the preamp of the Rodecaster Pro 1, demo the processing, test the bluetooth, run an outboard preamp line level, and even record music using the instrument DI. This thing seems to do it all.

Has anyone run into a problem with the USB-C to PC connection. The RCP2 doesn’t stay connected. Microphone input bounces from connected to not connected. I don’t know if it’s a cable issue, a device issue or something that could be updated and fix via a firmware update.

Got this guy to evaluate, tried it for a day, loved it, then, as you said, did an honest reflection and decided I don't need it. May in the future, but for now my solid USB mic is good, I already invested in Hindenburg Journalist, which gives me all the simple yet powerful tools I need, I collaborate with other podcasters but 94% of the time we're on different ends of the world...yeah, this thing is awesome, but it's 700 bucks that could be better spent elsewhere. Good chance I'll be back to it within a year or so. But not now.

Without doubt the best review of the Roadcaster Pro 2 I've seen anywhere. Only one thing I disagreed with (and that is a personal preference) is that I'd actually like to see more physical microphone faders not less. As it is, I use 2 condenser mics in a booth along with a dynamic mic outside connected directly to the unit for TalkBack/live streaming etc. The 4th is used as a line level input which leaves nothing to spare. Then again when recording VO I go directly into an Apollo twin and that only has 2 inputs. Ultimately, do I need the RPC2? Probably not. One feature would make this a killer unit for me? The ability to integrate directly with Source Connect.

When i first saw the RCP2 it was love at first sight. I just had to have it even though i wasn't exactly sure why i needed it or how i was going to use it. Now i'm using it it as my mixer and audio interface and i also do a bit of podcasting with it too. It's given me a level of control and flexibility i just didn't have with my previous audio interface. It really is an all rounder. Highly recommended. Thanks for the review.

Great review! I can really tell the time that was spent making it. I'm on the fence with purchasing this device. Just bought an Earthworks Ethos mic and plan to use it with my MixPre 3 II interface for live podcasting, webinars, streaming, etc. among other things. The ONLY feature I would really gain with this device is the real-time voice processing features. I can probably just do it live in software somehow or maybe consider adding a used ART Voice Channel to my chain for like $300.
@Podcastage 2 жыл бұрын
Allen - The MixPre3 is a fantastic device, and it even has a built in limiter. The Ethos is a fantastic mic and you don't need to do much to it. I'd say just use those two things together for a few months and see if you end up actually realizing there's a huge issue with your audio that requires further investment. I'm guessing you'll find that it's amazing as is with that level of gear, but maybe you will find that there's one thing that really needs to be fixed, and then you'll be sure you're spending money on something that you absolutely need to. Best of luck, and enjoy that gear in good health, you've got a GREAT setup.

Even with all of the fx bypassed, it is present. That said, it also doesn't increase when the FX ARE present, so I guess that is the tradeoff.

Little brother of Procaster Pro 2, the Prodcaster Duo has very good mic preamps. Gain hungry dynamic microphones have awesome clean sound, much better compared to “cloudlifters”. Suits well for many purposes, audio recording, live shows, DAW input, online calls. Very versatile device. The only caveat is lack of easy way to mute monitors.
@funnyjelo 2 жыл бұрын
I have one of these, and for all the streaming perks aside, just the mixer function with the multiple USB's is key. I can technically run 3 pc's with the line in as headphone out if i get really janky. I solved my deskspace issue by using a monitor arm and vesa mounting it. Also allows you to actually see the display instead of the bad angle it is on desk mounted. Definitely the way I would use it. Another function I think worth exploring on your second channel, is the ASIO drivers in something like OBS. This is honestly the way it should be used, I like the stereo mix in OBS, but when you are actually recording to OBS, the different sources are god tier for hotkeying mutes and so forth. There was some major improvements with the latest firmware, but since then, this has been an excellent device for me.
@Alexandra-Rex 2 жыл бұрын
I mentioned ASIO and OBS to Røde somewhere and they said _"For OBS, we recommend using USB Main Stereo (Tracks 1 and 2), ASIO/multitrack record is more for DAWs."_ But I don't get that reply. If it can be done and you can get every input via ASIO so you can do with them what you want in OBS, why not just do that regardless of how they meant for it to be used. In my OBS setup I have my Master L/R Mix from the mixer going to the stream and when I record, I record all sources individually so I can edit how I want with recorded stuff. ASIO would let me do this with the Rødecaster Pro II as well. I don't understand their reply as they do target streamers and gamers too with this product.

Great job as always Bandrew!! Thanks!!.. I finally got one.. familiar with audio interfaces, can't get the Bluetooth connected phone (tried different phones) to pick up much signal from the RCP2, the audio going to the caller. Very faint, even the sound effects get out to caller, but faint. Have latest firmware, phone audio plays music great. Recording to micro storage produces great output sound from my mic and sound effects at the RPC2, but very little sound volume sent to caller using BT, almost inaudible, but there is some sound. So caller gets almost no audio out of the RPC2. Tried every imaginable routing for BT, tried different BT settings at phone, multiple phones/brands etc. My setup at RCP2 is only wall/power supply plugged in, Wifi connected and the BT connected to smartphones with no USB connection to computer. I noticed the monitor icon on the RPC2 was yellow slashed out, figured that's because I have no monitors attached. Anyone have any ideas? Faint output sent to smartphone caller via BT from RCP2 is the issue. Have support issue opened for a while, but though someone may shed some light.. thanks!!!

I don't have one of these devices I was considering it but what happens in Canada is we get double priced ie $US converted to $CDN so I'm not sure if it's worth spending best part of $2000 with a decent mike desktop arm and the device itself just to go the XLR route. I currently use a fantastic piece of software on my mac called 'audio hijack' by 'rogue amoeba' look it up this works with my iphone and any other device, it's well worth trying the cost is minor but what you can do with this is almost limitless 10/10

The preamps of the Mixcast 4 have the same noise floor as the RCP 1. So you can extrapolate there based on that comparison. Then it legitimately does come down to your use case. Do you need the multi usb output, do you need the midi controls, do you want the instrument inputs, do you want the more full fledged operating system and processing options from the RCPII?

Love your content. Thanks for using a format and not wasting my time. Question: I use the RCP 1 in several studios for interviews with people that don’t do a ton of interviews. I’m concerned that the latency in the RCP 2 will be a distraction for non-broadcast folks. Because if this I’m seriously considering staying w RCP 1 for new purchases. Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion Wade. I think I may do one on that.

Question, if I was going to be running a multi-mic podcast (2-4 respectively), with multi-cameras, is there something ELSE you would recommend that would handle all of this MINUS the "un-needed" sound effects? When you made me ask myself, "Do I need this all?", I need MOST, but not the sound effects etc. Thanks!

I challenge you to come up with a device without any knob or slider wiggle. Wiggle is a trade off b/w ease of movement and the stability of knob or slider. What good is a device that will have no wiggle but you really have to push hard to move the knob or slider?

I would like to point out that I did the test with two different acoustic devices. The first time both devices connected perfectly, and the second Bluetooth symbol appeared next to the outgoing monitor symbol. I turned the rhodecaster pro II off and on again, both devices were no longer displayed among the devices and I was no longer able to connect them. I repeat, the first time they worked perfectly. What could I do to solve the problem? Thank you

I haven’t encountered that issue, but I would contact Rode’s customer support because they are very responsive and helpful. I’m sure they have a simple solution to the issue you’re encountering. Sorry I can’t provide more insight.

I'm trying to decide between the Rodecaster Pro II and the Motu M4 (32-bit seems to be the new thing). Can a firmware update to the Rode make it 32-bit?

Great review! All your work is highly appreciated! This would replace my Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK, my dbx 286s and my headphone amp which is connected to Group 1-2 on the mixer. And replace Voicemeeter on my two systems which I use to send game sound from the game PC to the streaming PC and microphone sound from the streaming PC to the gaming PC (so I can get in-game voice when I want to). And on top of that, give me a lot more functionality since I get the functionality of the dbx 286s (and more) to all sources. I really want to try this thing.

I had a DBX286s and Motu M2. Sold the DBX kept the M2. Replaced with the RCP2. No regrets at all.

@Rhys Morgan how is it so far? Also, what microphone are you using? I was debating on getting RCP2 or motu with dbx 286s for noise gate. Want to be flexible where I can create videos, music, livestream.

@@Podcastage - I picked up the Streamer X for the capture card and Unify software. I would probably move to the Mackie DLZ in the near future and sell the id44 and arturia studio...(just a thought) Yikes!

The best review I've seen by a Country mile, however a small comment not a criticism, you do not recommend this for the single mike podcaster, so my question is what do you recommend I'm in Canada with a deflated currency and this device is over $900CDN so a lot of money I would like to get a SM7B this over $500 so before you know it I'm looking at best part of $2000 any help would be appreciated Thank you

Maybe they assumed that most had the RCP1 so going to the 2 they would be familiar. However, I do see where you’re coming from when companies “upgrade” units, but somehow they’re downgrading other things

Podcastage.... always fantastic! Was considering upgrading from the 1 to the 2. But I don't think that I will use all of the features. I don't even use the features on the 1

Your reviews are really very good! Between you and Curtis, I feel very confident what the device is going to be like! The hard part is durability - are knobs and faders only held by the solder on the circuit board, or are they properly affixed with screws or an equivalent attachment method.

This is on loan, so I don't feel comfortable tearing it down, so unfortunately I can't answer that. I'm sorry. Rode does have a very responsive customer support team on twitter (and probably through e-mail too), where you could probably get an answer to this question.
