Prawn here with an in-depth look at the Rode Rodecaster Duo. Here I'm showing you everything from the basic setup to connecting Bluetooth devices, Wireless mics and tips on mix minus/custom routing settings to eliminate problems with mic feedback and more.
In this guide on the Rodecaster Duo I'm also showing you how to set it up for streaming in OBS and Streamlabs as well as extra tips on creating virtual audio channels that you can then use in OBS for multi-track audio. This means you can then use the Rodecaster Duo to capture multiple audio tracks for gaming tips and tricks videos (for example) while separating out the sound of your mic, the game audio and friends mics.

So your section on multi track audio doesn't really apply if you are using a 2 PC setup?

Can i achieve this sound of microphone with just the roadcaster?

@33mikolaj 5 ай бұрын

You can just use the RCDuo chat mic to have only the mic, you don't need the second cable unless you stream from a dual PC setup which are becoming outdated due to much better GPUs

Hello, I would like you to help me, Rodecaster Duo Speaker/Headphone audio only comes from left side when I connect it to the rear audio ports... it works perfectly only in the front, could you give me some advice...? Thanks in advance

This is a REALLY DETAILED guide. I'd like to ask an additional question. If I wanted to use the RODECaster Duo in FL Studio, input my microphone into that, and then send the output of FL Studio to say OBS, or anywhere, how would you go about doing that? I know ASIO Drivers can be a little picky, but you normally use ASIO drivers for DAWs. Could you either comment back with details, or maybe even make a guide on how to do it? I do a bit of Hybrid content creation, recording guitar/vocals in FL Studio and also recording all of that with OBS Studio with my camera. Please and thank you!

I tried searching everywhere, but does Rodecaster allow you to change the game or Discord audio on stream without impacting your own volume? For example, if viewers say that teammates or Discord users are too loud, I could adjust the slider to change the volume, but only for the stream and not myself?

Hi. Any problems with the audio latency in your headphones? Do you use RD output for your headphones? I am considering to buy it, but there is a lot of comments about the huge latency.

@TheProvokedPrawn 6 күн бұрын

I've not seen "huge" latency at all. If there is any I don't notice it. If your ear is highly tuned and you're easily annoyed then that might be a different story. Naturally there's likely some with a wireless Vs wired connection but I don't hear it

Quick question, would you recommend the Rodecaster Duo over the GoXLR? I am debating which one I should get for my stream setup.

Cool trick for obs ! I'd like to know if there is a way to use the faders to change the volume on those separate tracks on obs too For the moment i've got the discord, game and mic channels separated but the faders wont change the volumes in there

@woll3935 5 ай бұрын

Hey man! First of all. Thank you so much for the video! So here is the thing. I have just bought my self a Rodecaster Duo. And my stream-setup is a build with two computers. Before i had a GOXL-Mini, I finally got it to work untill i realise the GOXLR series is dead... So now to my question. How will you hear from both computers? I also have a wireless headset like your self, a steelseries arctis pro. But with the black box :) Im so confused :S

For apex legends in-game chat, would I choose caster duo main or caster duo chat? I was using chat but I heard it sounds horrible. If I choose main would they hear unwanted audio?

@TheProvokedPrawn 5 ай бұрын

If you can choose then it should be chat, much like discord. It is sounded horrible was it because they were hearing themselves or the game audio too? If so then you need mix minus like I showed
