great vid, one thing i would like to pass along for potential people wondering,while the jack in the front bottom is a trrs and can be used for headphones etc it is actually a trrs input meaning when people try to use it as an output you may experience diminished quality of sound if you are trying to plug a mic or potentially use the line to make phone calls. not saying that you can't make it work as an output but just be aware it's not natively an out so it may behave differently

I moved from a Scarlett Solo to a Rodecaster Pro 2 and csn confirm there's a noticeable delay on the monitoring, but it's still very small -- maybe 30ms or so. It's enough to create a small echo effect but not so long as to make it harder to talk (for anyone not aware, try talking while listening to yourself at a 1 second delay and you'll see what I mean). I'm pretty sure it's like this because it runs the processing before you hear it, whereas the zero delay ones just feed the raw mic signal back into your ears. I'd say it's well worth the tradeoff, in my case specifically it lets me know right away if I've fallen out of the noise gate. And if you're doing more advanced processing, it lets you much more quickly adjust how it turns out.

I have both the RCP2 and the Duo. For me, as a Solo Content Creator, i feel like getting the Duo is the best way to go for solo or duo content creators. The RCP2 was purchased because Rode said it was made with musicians in mind, and i agree with you there. Unfortunately, they haven't done anything at all for the musicians and if Rode says that you can use it with a DAW on a PC well, you can also use a FocusRight Scarlett interface and plug that into a DAW and a lower price. Ill admit that i am waiting for Rode to unlock Sequence recording, they already told me since it runs on Linux it can definitely do Sequence recording. But again for solo creators just needing some solid premium sounding audio, i would stick to the duo.

I'm kind of baffled by the lack of musician updates. I know Rode doesn't have the library of virtual modeling that Boss/Roland does, but I feel like they could add in something basic, or at least some nifty recording options or a simple chromatic tuner. 🤷🏻♂️ I've noticed that they haven't been promoting the music functionality as much lately, so maybe they quietly decided to drop it?

Happy to see you’re loving this. I was heartbroken by recent Rode purchases. I had given RCP2 a shot but returned it because the front plate wasn’t glued down properly and Amazon charged me a restocking fee - unreal! Then, I picked up the Duo and absolutely adored it … except I continued to get random clicks and pops in the recording despite multiple channels, cords, mics tried. I thought it was an issue with the electric in my home so I bought a power conditioner and the problem persisted. I eventually returned the Duo as well because of those pops and clicks in both USB and SD card recording. And those issues aren’t present in my Mixcast. Ended up losing quite a bit of money trying both out 🙃 I hope those were just issues I experienced and not some bigger problem. Btw hope that 2-week break of yours really recharged the batteries for you!

I enjoy my original Rodecaster a lot. I have no urgency to upgrade so I will probably do it next summer as I've already gotten three years out of the original one. I just wanted to make a comment on Amazon. Rode specifically said on their website when I bought the original not to get their product from Amazon. They had several recommended sites to order from and I chose one. I've never had any issues with my device and it's been the single best piece of tech I have ever purchased in my life! I was driving an hour to record my podcast in a radio studio and now I do it all at home (thanks in part to the pandemic) and I'm thankful for that small silver lining. It appeared to me last time I was on the road website that you can order directly from them now instead of an American retailer so I'm not sure which would be better but I just wanted to counter what appears to be a belief that because it came from Australia it was a problem. Everything I know of Rode seems to indicate that they have a high commitment to quality. I know that Tom himself was a little worried about possible lapses in quality because of the sheer amount of new devices that Rode announced at once, but he seems to be fairly convinced that the quality remains high. I'm sorry for this novel Tom but I'm thankful for the work you do in the entertaining videos that we get to watch! :) By the way, if the duo has the same specs technically I will probably get that.

The difference in camera fed audio quality you may be perceiving could be due to consumer cameras typically record audio at 16-bit and the Rodecaster at 24-bit. The camera (Canon R5 for example) will always downsample any incoming audio source to its native 16-bit recording, regardless, even if feeding it a 32-bit signal.

My biggest issue with both Duo and RCP2 is the lack of stereo line-in. RCP2 allows to chain to channels to get one stereo but it does not have front headphones output, and you have to sacrifice two mic channels to get line-in. On Duo it's even worse as there are only two channels so if you want stereo line-in the only option for a mic is Bluetooth or a headset (so only mono input channel). I would love to upgrade but it seems that ironically the Rodecaster Pro 1 offers the best versatility in terms of inputs. Not everything is a phone or computer to use USB there are amplifiers, dj controllers, and lots of equipment that still use analog as a way to pass sound. In most cases, you don't need two USB ports. It was said that this is for gamers but good look connecting your retro gaming console via USB. Unless they offer some kind of dongle to switch one USB to analog or at least Toslink (then you can adapt to analog via converters) both Duo and Pro 2 are no go for me and pretty much anyone who needs more than two mics and line-in.

I've been using the Sennheiser MKE Essential microphone lately and I love how it sounds (you can hear it on my recent rolling camera stand and camera bag videos). It's the first lav mic I've found that doesn't sound like a lav mic. But I've also been running it through their EW-DP wireless system, which is phenomenal. I haven't yet tried to use it with the RCP, but it's probably worth the experiment. I'll definitely be using the XLR connector when I do.

I think that currently the same thing continues to happen, specifically, a musical production on the console designed for it (think behringer xr18, mackie dl1608, etc.) that will then be connected to the AV production in general (call it cast, radio, tv, streaming, etc.) Because there is still no console that can solve a multitude of AV presentations and/or needs.

Rode sent the pads over with the Duo and I'm really hoping it's a hint that they'll start selling them soon! Especially in different colors. 😎 I'm excited for you to get your Duo, I'm sure you'll really love it!

Could you add a section in future reviews for all audio recorders to ask "DOES IT HAVE 32bit FLOAT?" - If you ask about 32bit float in every audio recorder video, then manufacturers will see it as a way to differentiate from competitors.

Thanks Tom. Great video as always. Will you be doing a detailed review of the Mackie DLZ Creator both from both the perspectives Live Stream/Podcasting and Music/Audio Production? Your take on the Mackie DLZ Creator will be most appreciated.

I'm honestly kind of stuck with the DLZ. I really like it overall, and it has some absolutely AMAZING features, but it's also super complicated and kind of a pain to use. It's thrown some kind of wrench into the works anytime I've tried using it as a standalone recorder/mixer. I think there's just a way bigger learning curve with it.

Thanks a ton Tom. It does seem like a solid product, especially thinking that it’s Mackie’s first real go in the area. I wonder what firmware updates may bring in terms of usability etc. I trust you will figure it all out at a point. And l do hope you will manage to put together a video about it. Am also curious to see if it may influence your opinion on Rodecaster 🤪🙂🙂. Thanks a ton!

The problem is that here the Roadcaster Duo is 3 Euro more expensive then the Roadcaster Pro II. The only reason for picking up the Duo is to save space on your desk.

Yeah, if they're the same price there's no reason not to go for the Pro.

I truly appreciate this review. I am an adventure videographer that would like to up my voiceover/podcast game by using a portable setup instead of my Rode Wireless Go 2. It would be super interesting to get your opinion on a portable podcast setup I could take and use anywhere off a battery pack and what specific gear you’d recommend. Cheers!

Hey , wow if you don't have the best rode product podcasts I don't know who does. :) Thank you for all you do. I have a question no one has touched on I can find. How do you backup all your settings on the duo to sd card or other devices?

Thank you for the kind words! You can save "shows" and profiles, but there's no genuinely good way to save/restore specific presets unfortunately.

I use the Duo since it came out with a SM7B. What I really miss, is to connect an USB Mic. That would make it really the perfect Audio gear for my Podcast, Videos, OBS live sessions.

I got the rode caster pro II for the music side (hoping to use as an all in 1 unit with the other features). Rode oversold it at the start being for musicians. So disappointed to see they've underdelivered and doesn't seem like they're going to improve any features for musicians either. Now I have to look into the gig caster as an alternative.
@tombuck
Жыл бұрын
Yeah, it's a bummer in that regard. I've been using the Rodecaster ro pretty much everything, but now the Gigcaster also lives on my desk for playing/practicing. I actually prefer using it over a real amp most of the time, which is crazy. But the interface is rough, and there are a lot of strange workflow quirks is you actually want to use it as a standalone device like the Rodecaster. Nothing is quite as simple and polished as the RC in that regard.

Click knob might be for Bluetooth? My similar speaker knobs click down to Bluetooth. Or you might have a faulty unit if it’s an off button? I did see you didn’t have Bluetooth turned on for the headphone button so I’m 99% sure that’s what the click is for.

I bought it this week and I'm having a problem that I can't solve, I'm leaving it here in case someone can help me. When it comes to monitoring myself, I hear double all the time. I get the feeling that it is if the audio is saturated, but I go from not hearing myself at all to directly hearing myself double and canned. I can't find the middle ground no matter how much I mute channels during routing.

I used a VESA arm from a brand called "Vivo" on Amazon. geni.us/bOkzyk1 I like it because it's really long, but it's a little bit of a hassle to adjust the height when you want to change it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have the Rodecaster Pro 2, and I don’t think I can add an additional mic if I have 4 mic’s already connected to it. A wireless Rode mic will always replace 1 of the physical mic’s.
@tombuck

A wireless mic will take one of the 4 main channels (whether they're assigned to a physical fader or a virtual one), but you can use the new firmware to use a Rode USB mic as an additional source.
