now I got it. Thank you so much Tom. I got my Rodecaster 2 today and used as Output on my PC "USB 1". And then I wondered why everyone was hearing an echo in the Conference. Instead of USB 1, I had to select USB 1 Chat. This is a small detail that many newbies on the Rodecater will miss at the beginning. Your video helped me to locate the root cause for my problem.

The mix minus on my rcp 1 is possibly my favorite feature. I run a podcast (not a host) that has guests and two on site hosts. it is amazing to have the two hosts and a guest on zoom and everyone hears everyone like they are in the same room and it’s recorded on the rodecaster at the same time as Logic Pro, all while I monitor also on the rodecaster. Pure magic given what I used to have to do with an analog desk.

Tom I don't have an answer to this qiestiomnj. I know I can split DJI on the ATEM Control Software but IK don't own the RODE LAV II: Viewer Asked me : I" looked on the web but did not find an answer: can I split the incoming stereo signal into two channels on Rodecaster pro, meaning using Rode Wireless Go II (or alternatively DJI Mic) but having each microphone on one fader (mono of course)? Kind of virtual patching. Is that possible? Thank you!"
@tombuck 2 жыл бұрын
I'm honestly not sure, since I also don't have the Go II (just the original). Right now the RCP2 doesn't take USB inputs, so they'd have to use either an XLR or 1/4" adapter. I think it could be possible to use a y-cable that has a 3.5mm connection on one side and then L/R 1/4" connectors on the other and run that into two separate channels. Just a theory though, I haven't tried it myself. 🤷🏻♂️

Would you recommend the RCP2 purely as an audio interface btw? I guess might do streams down the line...

Excellent explanation. I think where Rode has goofed is that the concepts/interface are not intuitive for the average Joe (or Scott, in my case). I love your content and learn a lot from you and others, but I shouldn't have to watch 8 videos just to figure out how to configure my RCP2. Also, naming some of the USB channels as "CHAT" have confused things, IMO. Keep up the good work! Hopefully some of this feedback has gotten back up to Rode!
@tombuck 2 жыл бұрын
I think there's a balance. The RCP with all of the advanced settings turned off is pretty simple, but it is a hugely advanced thing and so a learning curve is a bit inevitable. I definitely agree with the USB naming. I really don't know why they still have these names rather than just "USB 1, 2, and 3" or something like that since you can configure them in a way where there's really no difference.

Hello Tom! Nice video as always! I have noticed a disturbing phenomena. I had to disable the MIDI function in my ATEM Software Control software, because it made glitches to the sound of my Rodecaster Pro II if it was turned on. Windows 10, latest (and previous) ATEM Software and all avaliable Rodecaster Pro II firmware. Turning off MIDI in the ATEM Softwate solved the problem. Interesting.

It really depends (unsatisfying answer, I know). The new RCP is better, but if the original is suiting your needs, then there's really no need to upgrade. I think the biggest reasons to upgrade are: -More clean gain (no more boosters needed) -Better headphone amps -More options for USB mixing/routing There are tons of other features too, but those ones are really what I think have the potential to make the most immediate impact on a workflow.

I'm a film/tv composer and am trying to use the Rodecaster Pro 2 with my DAW (Digital Performer) and can't wrap my head around how to playback a stereo mix of a multitrack composition in DP via usb while recording into DP separate audio from the mic channels 1-4. The musicians need to hear themselves in the headphones along with the stereo mix of the music they are being sent from DP while I need to get clean audio from the mic channels into the tracks I have armed going into DP. I'm I crazy to think this is possible?

Hey Peter! I don't think you're crazy (or at least not because of this 😁). In the output settings have you enabled multitrack via USB? I haven't used Digital Performer myself, but this is how I've been able to separate channels with Audition and Logic. As long as your firmware is up to date, then you should be able to create custom mixes for each performer's headphones.

I would like to be able to mute my viewers audio and only use it to monitor what my viewers actually hear from time to time.

That's usually a mix minus issue. The RCP2 can seem a little confusing, but if you just double check that the other person's channel has mix minus turned on you should be ok. If that doesn't work, you can use custom routing to select only the specific channels you want that person to hear.

UGH...I am still confused...LOL..My issue is on StreamLabs I want my PodMic to be on a different channel than my audio from my streamdeck...and can't figure out how to separate the two as it outputs to my stream. But I am sure I will watch this a million times until it sinks in.

Currently, I have my RØDECaster Pro II set up to use as a communication device through to Discord. I regularly play online and include effects and sounds from the pads. What I would like to do is occasionally play audio from KZfaq or an MP3 that's not on a pad. Is there any way to have a fader assigned so that I can fade this specific audio up at will? I've not seen any way to do this except switch on and off the mix-minus function.

Thanks for the kind words! I've noticed absolutely nothing like this with mine, and I've been using it everyday since May. To be totally candid, for some reason (and I really don't know why), people WANT to dislike the RCP2. It's why I don't make too many videos on it anymore- I've never really seen so many people searching for reasons to dislike something. It's absolutely bizarre. On a more practical note, the original RCP is still widely capable too. There are definite advantages to the upgrade, but it's definitely not required.

At first he said he thought it was 100 ms and then after more testing and troubleshooting said it was 6ms. He said it was another device making it at 100, but that there was still a small delay and some of his other posts said it was that way in their experience. I was hoping a firmware fixed it if there was an issue or maybe some one offs or whatever, so I wanted to get your insight on all of this which I appreciate you doing (as I love how you do your best to answer everyone's questions...as we know it can take a lot of time sometimes).

The audio from guests usually sounds fine and when recording directly from the RCP2 into Adobe Audition the signal is clean. Maybe it's a Mix Minus setting problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
