Thanks for that video. It was a huge leapfrog for me to be able to have the monitors work with the mic faders up.

Your videos are brilliant mate. Especially good for advanced newbies like myself. Cheers!!

07:04 you can just skip this complicated part and use a SC17 or SC19 cable from RODE. I've also seen people doing that with Rig2 and a lot of extra cables, but you can just buy this 20 $ cable and it's done. It works like a charm on my LIVE events.

Hi Jordan, fantastic content. Have found your videos very useful. Using the Rodecaster Pro II, is it possible to connect the output to the ATEM Extreme as well as the speakers? Could you do a video on this?

@Ronniezim 4 ай бұрын

I use mine for teaching live fitness classes every week. I can eq my mic and also duck the music slightly when I speak. It’s great !

Hey Kettner I'm an owner of the Rodecaster Pro II, and have a question, don't know if you can help me. I'm noticing that the main outputs (L & R) are indeed both TRS balanced, and works well, but for the headphone outputs TRS cables wont work, I end up having to take out a little bit of the cable to make it work, shouldn't headphones be TRS? because of headphones being Stereo? and the 1/4 to 1/8 adapters from Rodecaster seem to be stereo as well, but this makes me very confused, I'm asking this because my main gig is being a livestream operator, and my main interface/mixer is the rodecaster pro ii, but most of the time I do need extra physical outputs and I want to use the proper cable for that, I have been using TS Cables, but I'm really curious why aren't TRS cables working specially if they are supposed to be Stereo Headphones outputs

Great video as always. I would like to use my Rodecaster Pro2 to video a live interview show. Plan is to have 3 wired lavs, a PA system for the live audience - and I also want to use the Rodecaster to record mic audio to synch later in video post production. Thoughts?

How about a Live Talk Show/ Podcast with three Lavalier Mics, and record audio, while utilizing 2 speakers for the audience? Thanks for the video !

@kettnercreative Thank you for this awesome video. I am a professional speaker and will be using my Rodecaster Duo and Wireless Go 2 mics for plugging into the house sound. So I appreciate you going through the settings. Thanks.

@labrahamabraham9033 7 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. As you are a sound engineer ,please let me know: Can I ,as a pastor use Rode pro mic ,as hands free mic to address the congregation ;? Will such mics be free from inerfearce from other signals for that use ,or is it good only for use with video camera etc.? Akso ,can it's receiver be connected it to an amplifier without a mixer ? Is mixer essential to connect it to use as a public address system ?

Wonderful video. Is there any chance, you make a video, how to connect RCPII with Adobe Audition or any DAW, please?😀

@benlessard1976 4 ай бұрын

If i use the RCP2 for my podcast in my basement (studio)… can it be ok for a podcast in front of a live audience? ( restaurant, brewery, coffee shop etc…)

@MarcusOSullivan123 2 ай бұрын

You said here that you can't save scenes... but is saving shows not the same thing which is possible on the RCP II? Also, my second question is: how do you control the monitor/speaker output level on the unit. The faders are only for controlling input level so would it be the multi-function diall that does this?

@kettnercreative 2 ай бұрын

Typically saving scenes on an audio mixer would also include saving the fader position, which you can't do. Yeah, you can use the rotary encoder to control the monitor/speaker level.

@MarcusOSullivan123 2 ай бұрын

@@kettnercreative I connected the speaker cable into the input like you done here but there was no sound probably because I didn't know that the rotary dial was used to increase the volume level. So I then connected the speaker to the 🎧 one instead. This is a bad idea is it.... That's what my dad told me anyhow?

@tobiaslofi 6 ай бұрын

2 comments/ improvements: 1) Don’t set the monitor output to “fixed level” then you can use the knob as master fader (fixing one of your cons!) 2) Can’t we use the headphone outputs to run upto 4 monitors?! They will be a bit noisy but other than that

Thanks for this video. Very timely as I was just considering renting a RCP2 for a Halloween event with multiple music sources and mics. The auto ducking feature was of particular interest to me since I might not be able to man the mixer at all times and need to ensure the mic lines end up on top. I’ll probably stick with my Mackie analog mixer for the immediate need. Curious though what mixer you might recommend for auto ducking at live events.

@kettnercreative 9 ай бұрын

Ugh. I had a section filmed about the ducking but I ended up cutting it when I realized how long the video is. But yes, that's another great reason to use the RCP2 for an event. Typically you need to spend 2-3k on a digital mixer to get a built in duck.

@skyace888 9 ай бұрын

Thanks. Yeah $2K+ on a digital mixer isn't practical for me to buy but maybe rent if needed. Any specific models you can recommend with auto ducking that are fairly easy to use?

@@skyace888 I always recommend the QU-16 or TF1. I've done hundreds if not thousands of events with those consoles and they are the best value around.

@skyace888 9 ай бұрын

@kettnercreative Nice thanks. I'll check those out. I was originally looking at the QSC TouchMix line since I have QSC speakers but the QU-16 seems pretty solid.
