Actually, high pass is a control that sets the frequency above which audio passes without reduction -- i.e. it passes untouched. Frequencies below that setting are increasingly reduced in level according to how much lower in frequency they are. The high-pass allows one to minimize content that comes from thumps, rumbles, low frequency vibrations, 60 Hz electrical power noise, and so on, that are usually from the environment and not a normal or useable part of a person's voice. They often come through physical floor, table, stand vibrations, air vibrations caused by floors, walls, ceilings, equipment in the environment including heating and air conditioning and outside noise. They can also come from plosives in speech (sounds from plosive consonants such as B, D, G, K, P, and T) that aren't sufficiently screened out by the mic or separate pop screen. The plosives are bilabial (B, P), alveolar (D, T), or velar (G, K) in order of higher to lower tendency to affect a microphone with a low frequency pop. The further forward in the mouth the plosive is produced, the greater the plosive is presented to the microphone. Distance from the microphone and angle towards the front of the mouth also affect plosives in close micing. Notice that in broadcast with very close microphone placement to the mouth, the placement is frequently done so that the person's front of their mouth talks across the front of the microphone at a slight angle rather than into it head on so that the larger part of the plosive doesn't go directly into the microphone head on. One can usually set a high-pass to a higher frequency, say 100 to 200 Hz for a female voice depending on their natural vocal range, and a lower frequency for a male voice, say 40 to 80 Hz or maybe as high as 100 Hz, depending on their natural vocal range. One should not set it higher than needed or where it begins to remove bottom end of their voice -- people will sound unnatural if set too high for their voice -- the voice will lose fullness and sound thin. Of course, you can do some mix engineering for instruments and music vocals being mixed and blended but that's probably best done in post processing unless it's totally live work. Using it for controlling a vocal and instrument mix is really beyond adequately discussing here.

Great video! The bit on the high pass filter is a bit misleading though. You mention that increasing it to 200Hz will eliminate everything above 200Hz. This isnt true since its a high pass and not a high cut filter. As you increase the value, you can hear your voice getting thinner and less bass-y. The high pass filter helps remove low frequencies. At 200Hz it will eliminate all frequencies in your voice below 200Hz and not above. Just thought Id add this here incase anyone needs the info. Great content otherwise! Cheers!

A High Pass Filter is not designed to cut out high frequencies but low rumble frequencies like an airconditioner in the background with that low rumble. The high Pass Filter helps to cut those out and allow the highs to pass through. Bill Mahon

Nice video - got the bit on the high pass filter backwards - the high pass is a filter that cuts the low frequencies (letting the high frequencies "pass" through). It's designed to remove rumble and other things that sit in those low frequency areas.

Hey thanks for the tutorial. I have had my Rodecaster Pro for over a year and put it away and just used the USB input from my Shure MV-7 into my Mac and used Zoom for recording my podcast interviews, however, now I will use my Rodecaster Pro.

Dude, this was by far one of the most valuable training sessions I've had as a complete beginning learning to podcast with this RODECaster Pro with the Sure SM7B. Thank you so much!

This is an excellent introduce for RODECASTER Pro and we love it . Thank you very much !👌❤👍

This was a very detailed and informative review and walkthrough. I appreciate the time you took to go through all of the features and setting so that a veteran or amateur will be able to proficiently and effectively get the most out of this product. Keep up the great work, and all the best to you.

One of the best and most useful tutorials on the RODECaster Pro by far. I just purchased the RODECaster Pro using a Sure SM7B with a Cloud Lifter and loving the results. Thanks for sharing your knowlege, this was truly a comprehensive / informative video.

This was incredibly comprehensive. I feel like I just sat in on a three hour class (I had to pause to play with the settings as you were explaining). Thank you!

I have watched a few of your videos on setting up the Rodecaster Pro, and I think you've made it very clear to understand, I take my hat off to you, a job Well Done!

Actually, the high-pass filter allows high frequencies to pass, while getting rid of low frequencies, such as rumble and unwanted bass.

Purchased my Rodecaster Pro a few weeks ago and and went from zero to success pretty quickly. What a great item for creating professional podcasts! Pared with a Sampson Q2u microphone on a boom and I am getting very high quality audio recordings with music at the intro and outro. Converting the wav files to mp3 is easily accomplished with Audacity. Awall, your video instructions are great. Now I need to select a podcast hosting provider.

Best video I've seen on the rodecaster and I'm reading the comments and there's so much extra information to help me with my podcast. Thank you for making this great content.

I just want to say THANK YOU. I had been looking to buy the RC Pro and finally did a month ago. I am no stranger to podcasting but audio mixing and getting the most from this device is new to me. I have watched ALOT of RC Pro videos and this is by far the best tutorial I have ever watched. I feel so much more confident about leveraging this for content creation in 2022. Subscribed.

Thank you for the video! I'm just in the process of viewing it and you were just explaining the high-pass filter. I think you mixed it up, it does the opposite of what you said. The high-pass filter, which is synonymously called low-cut filter, is used to cut off low frequencies and let high frequencies pass through.

This is the best video on rode caster pro, i ever seen. I had this unit since a year now, but first time i realized its full potential. Thank you for sharing this great video.

01:10:51 - The RØDECaster Pro has 512MB of internal memory and can store up to eight banks of eight sounds - 64 in total! - All sound pads are stored in the internal memory of RØDECaster Pro!

Thank you I will be book marking this to watch it over and over Great tutorial

I just ordered this mixer. This tutorial will be a huge time saver. Thank you so much!

I just bought a RodeCaster Pro, and installed the latest firmware. The audio processing now just lists toggles for these different audio processing features ie compressor, high-pass filter, etc.. and the same toggles for the aphex features. It's either on or off. Is there no way to dial these in now?

I just got my Rodecaster Pro today!! This video is absolutely the best! Thank you so much for this in depth Masterclass.

Hello, I'm new to the community. You video helped me out so much. And the way you went into great details with the key points 👌🏿. Big help Thank you

Umm, a high pass filter lets high frequencies pass and blocks low frequencies. Not vice versa. This is also clearly visible as the value on the setting is displaying a low frequency. Basic audio stuff, you know..

This is the best masterclass of the rode caster pro!

this set up is so freaking fire 🙌

Great tutorial...thank you!

I just bought a Rodecaster and now found your video. Very, very cool and helpful. You described it very good, so even a german guy like me can follow.

Really enjoying your videos! They’re a great help.

Thank you so much!! This video is now in my saved collection! So insightful!

great video bro! thank you! some of the images are not aligned with the sound but the overall very good! learned a lot! thank you

The main thing about the USB and your recording are you not getting loop back happening and have to turn on USB mix minus so you can use the USB slider for streaming?

Please 🙏🏽 make a Walkthrough of the Rodecaster Pro 2 … You have the best Walkthrough videos

This is a top-shelf tutorial.

Excellent walk through settings/fine tuning my Rode mixer. Had mine for 3 years and still picked up great information!!!

Hi! When will be you ready for a fantastic Rodecaster Pro II Masterclass? OBS integration would be super important

Hi pass filters actually allow the high freqs to 'pass thru' unaffected, ie it eliminates the low frequencies that are selected and below that may be creating background noise,hums

Man you are a FREAKIN LIFE SAVER!! i just bought this mixer and had no clue how to use it and I was starting to get frustrated thank you so much for this ... 1 question what filter adjustment should we make to prevent the microphone from picking up keyboard or controller noise? thanks again great video!

This is fantastic👍🏾thank you

Andrew, always enjoy your podcasts, so informative. I’m interested in using a mixer in more of a DJ capacity. Does the RodeCaster allow you to add effects to your mike, such as reverb or delay. Also can you hook up a turntable or CD player to the mike input. Again, you do a fantastic job, I can’t say enough how much I enjoy your work. Much success Terry

Fantastic master class, Awall. For a newbie podcast-er like me, this was a lifesaver! Only critique was I wish you could set a filter for those OMGs, but otherwise 10/10. Thank you very much!

I just bought a Lewitt 540 s, but I found no videos on how to set it up. Thank you!

Brilliant and thorough presentation. Many thanks Awall.

Fantastic tutorial! Awall Digital -- Andrew Wall. We are just embarking on our journey in the podcasting/livestreaming world and ended up purchasing the RODECaster recently. We learnt a lot from this video on how to put this amazing equipment to best use!! Well done again & All the best!

Bring in audio via USB to monitor incoming audio from computer like NDI inputs - need to send audio out via an analog output directly into a camera, which brings combined audio & video in to the computer into recording or streaming software. Problem is that USB mix minus doesn't apply so it results in an audio loop for the audio coming in via USB. It needs to have a "live mix" option to send out desired audio channels via analog.

Excellent overview of the product. Great insight from start to finish. I recently purchased the rodecaster pro (prior to seeing your video). It should arrive soon. I'll save this vid and play it back once it arrives.

Totally appreciated finding this video and how detailed you got in breaking down the controls of my RC Pro...I hope you got that? Yeah? GOOD! *THUMBS UP!

Extremely helpful! Been having issues with the audio levels of my show, so picked up the rodecaster Pro. Your pointers will definitely help me dial it all in!

What's your favorite for a regular (not quiet as padded as yours, too loud for condenser?) studio Overhead, talking head video, boom mounted, out of frame, Mic? Further than normally comfortable for most dynamic mics. Software in the RODECaster Pro to accommodate greater distances? All the great dynamic mics seem to love up close and personal.

Do you hear a bunch of audio noise in your 3.5 phone line like I do on the roadcaster? I do.

This is great. Do you see yourself coming out with a RCP2 master class too?

Hi, I am new to streaming and making videos to youtube etc, your tutorial has helped me get to understand the RCP, its an awsome bit of kit. I have teamed it up with OBS/Prime which was recommended for me ! Thank you again, Ady

Would be interested to know if you'll be doing one for the Rodecaster Pro II? That is if you're considering upgrading. I'll assume that 95% of this tutorial will apply... Thanks for making this video!

Such a great, comprehensive video! Cheers and thank you!

Hello Awall, question about compression. Do you recommend turning off compressor for each mic and use master compressor only?

Nice video 2024 !!! Still worth the watch

i get a feedback on volume mixer on my computer if i have on the microphone click on what is the right way to connect my windows computer with rodecaster pro

What about REVERB ? How can I get reverb for singing on live stream? All other effects work ! I even have the old firmware version that had reverb. But still it doesn’t come through on the stream or video recording on iPhone 12

Thank you very much for all your explanations. They helped me a lot in getting to know this mixer, and using your settings I was able to increase the quality of my sound. Thank you and greetings from Poland :)

The Noise Gate only cuts background noise when you're nor talking. It doesn't cut the background noise when the gate is open.

One of the best tutorials I have seen ever! Great!

thank you so much!!! I learn A LOT watching this tutorial.

Thank you so much... this was so helpful.

Hello Sir good morning. Can you help me to set my rodecaster, because my mic is suddenly high volume and not good sound

Awall Digital I am your biggest fan from Australia Thankyou so much!!!

I know you did this a while ago, but thanks for doing this! a massive help!

Thank you so much for this video! I'm way more comfortable with the Rodecaster now!

Which one is the latest one rodecaster , the rodecaster pro II ???? Never mind, I found the answer. The RodeCaster Pro II. thanks for the video.

Super video!!! New subscriber 😎🙌

When you change your audio to your Realtek you lose your USB input as an output correct?

My rodercaster pro is missing the db numbers it just has lines. Any suggestions on how to get this back?

I hv taken the time to watch this entire video...and I just have to say I will start saving up to buy it... It's about 720k here in Nigeria and I must buy it in the next 2 - 3months. Thank you so much for this video... But can one use a lapel mic with it too??

This is a great video, thank you! Very informative and I like the way you explain everything. Can you please make an adjustment though? The portion about the High Pass Filter is incorrect. You are saying that it cuts high frequencies, when it actually does the opposite - it cuts low frequencies. You can even tell in your video, when you start to adjust the meter and the bass in your voice is adjusted. Can you please change this portion of the video to correctly explain a High Pass Filter? It's called High Pass because it allows the high frequencies to pass, and cuts the lows. If you can't change the video, can you at least acknowledge all the people that have commented and say that you are wrong? Thank you! I would love to avoid any possible confusion by people using the High Pass Filter incorrectly, both with the Rodecaster and in any other scenario regarding a high pass filter. Thank you!

Very helpful thanks so much!

This really helped me to figure out the RODECaster Pro. Thanks!

how can i pari out 2 different bluetooth speakers? i.e i want that the sound from the device to be sent to 2 different bluetooth speakers.. help me if u know how this works.. My bluetooth speaker is the mini jbl and another bluetooth speaker.. would be nice to signal sounds to different areas of the house party.. thx

great video! any ways you can send back your mic to the 2nd pc?

I am going to get the Rodecaster Pro. The one concern is that I operate a video show as well as live on facebook. With my podcasts the Pro will be very helpful. I need to be able to feed all this live video and audio?

Great video Andrew! Thank you. Mac

andrew!..thank you so much for this masterclass!..just bought my rodecaster last week and I hope I can produce a decent sound of podcast... thanks so much!..> Love from Malaysia!

very detailed information from you. thanks

How do you get the mix to your camera then back to record with the mixer. Unless I missed it, you don’t mention how to record the video

Were the manual controls for the audio processing removed? I'm able to turn those on but I dont have an option to adjust the lvls & strength of them. Any tips on how to get that added detail?

are you able to hook up the rodepod mic usbxlr to the rodecaster pro. i know that you can do it with the pro2 and duo via usb but, what about the pro? i know the mic has usb and xlr. so could you just route the xlr in the rodecaster pro and just not use the preset mic settings. or run it as usb into pc and then bring it in through usb audio on the rodecaster pro? thanks,

great video i learned a lot thanks

Love your videos man ❤️ keep it up

I noticed (41:29 time stamp) your USB Input at like 1/3, and Headphones 1 volume knob at 3:00 o'clock position, or like 70%? Is this your normal operation setting? I run with USB input at the midpoint, and rarely turn my volume knob that high with headphones on. Curious.

helpful and then some.......Q: I discovered the "secret bank" of sound pads early on...but.....I record my podcasts directly into the Rodecaster and when I tried to switch from Bank 1 to Bank 2, I had to leave the "record" screen and that ended the recording.....is there some hip trick I'm missing that will allow me to go from one bank to another while I'm directly recording into the mixer? thanx.....

Incredibly helpful tutorial. Information packed, excellent visuals and pleasant to listen to and follow. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this content!

hi, could you help me with a problem? I use rodcaster with streamlabs (obs) and when I call someone live, perhaps via streamyard or skype, they only hear what I say from the microphone, the effects I launch from the rodcaster, everything else (mp4 video, streamdeck, background music) no, not they feel it, while I do! How do I make them feel these things too?

Hola mi nombre es Víctor Ramón Rosa y tengo una consulta, una pregunta.. Como puedo transmitir en vivo y directo con el Rodcaster...

Thank you Awall! I do have a question though maybe you can help me with. I have a Rodecaster Pro firmware 2.1.2 factory settings hooked to my MacBook Pro 14 macOS Ventura 13.2.1 and my soundpads as well as my bluetooth phone out sounds low or muffled on output. My levels seem to be right and even when I turn up my channel sliders it’s still low. Feed back appreciated and Thank you for your knowledge.

Please when sound leaves this mixer can it just go to the transmitter or it has to go through another equipment like amplifier

Has anyone ever experienced where the mixer splits the vocals and instruments and then only plays the vocals or voice when talking to others via phone or computer. Meaning, I play a song through USB on comp, sound settings to the mixer (rode), the other end only hears the audio, like it’s stripping the music. Has anyone experienced this? I’ve done tons of tests and the rode tech team hasn’t gotten back to me. This is new, it’s not firmware cause the older firmware doesn’t work either. I tried it on 5 different devices and no luck. Only had it since 2021 and everything else works great, but last month or so this issue started. Any idea? it used to work perfectly fine

Parabéns pelo conteúdo, ficou espetacular e deveria ser patrocinado pela RODE. Sucesso!

Great tutorial. I now understand much more about my Roadcaster. You seriously know audio...BUT...Do us all a favor and dump; the constant transition tunnel. It is infuriatingly irritating. It is Way overdone. Just a thought...

Hey Andrew, question. Does a Sony WH-1000xm4 headphone connect to the mixer through Bluetooth?

such a mind blowing tutorial! One question though - will a folder show up on an connected iPad that gives access to the content from the sd card on the rode if you don’t have a computer?

I MusicLuv It! Your in depth knowledge is the best I have come across. Thanks a platinum :-) The SC.
