This will be a huge hit! My guess is that the Rodecaster family is actually a platform: Rode could sell plugins that run on the internal DSP as software downloads. For example, a real-time noise cancellation, or room de-reverb could be an excellent way to provide more value and make more revenue from the current customer base. And how about being able to remotely sync multiple Rodecaster units during a podcast with specific functions for host and guests? I think Rode has huge potential here and I think they know it!

I can't find the middle ground no matter how much I mute channels during routing.

Just got the device. Many issues I am experiencing. One HW quality issue is the rotary knob does not work. I cannot change any effect , date, virtual channel fader. Headphone output has constant hiss. It is annoying still rose didn’t fix for many years. Then a couple of SW issues. Custom routing does not work. I disabled system sound output or mic output but still I can hear the sound. Only fader reduces the sound volume. MAC Rode Central app does not correctly fetch device configuration. So it is basically unusable right now.

Given it can connect directly for updates, am i to understand correctly that, once this is setup, a computer is not *required* to operate it? That is one of my bigger gripes about the GoXLR is if the PC isnt running, the controls do not work so i cant control the audio levels of other devices i have plugged in (ie the 2nd audio input). (the other big gripe is the LED's do not turn off when i shut down the PC so i had to make a separate profile just to disable them, which i looks like the Rode unit has its own power switch to resolve that, plus its self powered so i can also plus it into a controlled outlet).

I wish you would go more into submixes and the uses/setup for game streamers & content creators, yes yes.. I know, that isn't exactly you, but this is something a lot of people in general would love to see and benefit from knowing & seeing what it can, especially compared to things like the Beacn Mix Create, Wave Link software etc. I did watch your review of the original (and a ton of other videos), where you didn't get into what I just mentioned either, so.. maybe an idea for a future video. I do see rumors starting to spread about a Go XLR 2 and sub-mixes for the units, which would make sense and also allow for the exact options I mention.. like the Beacn Mix Create (and wave link software with e.g. Streamdeck+) is perfect in the matter of you being able to quickly switch between your audio and the audience audio, using the same dials for adjusting.. this obviously isn't a method that works on faders.. or does it? because it would in fact work on the Go XLR, as it has motorized faders, so it would be possible to do this and simply have them adjust themselves to what level each submix for Monitor / Audience mix is.

So, I have the RCP II and when this was announced, I immediately thought that I was going to be interested in switching mine out for this one. But my ONE issue is workflow. For my podcast, I use fader 1 for my mic. 2 for USB1, 3 for USB1Chat, 4 for USB secondary, 5 for Bluetooth, and 6 for soundpads. I rarely use BT, but I'd be down 2 faders. I'd be looking at using the virtual faders (which I have XLR2 on right now, but would ultimately be going without a fader for either soundpads, BT, or XLR2. Only getting 6 faders (including virtual) makes it a bit more difficult to jump in. I would have to sacrifice something. Which would probably be moving sound pads to the Stream Deck. But then... what would I do with 6 sound pads? We could cut those out, too. haha. The only reason I say this... is the missing faders is the ONLY downside to the Rodecaster Duo. =[ I would even love the headSET jack on the front. But now we're introducing ANOTHER channel if a headset is being used.
