Man thank you so so much for doing this. I have a question, what would i do if i wanted to do everything you listed out BUT have Discord on the Gaming PC and not the streaming PC. would this be possible with this setup? Thanks again!
hey man! if I'm recording in obs on the gaming pc, I get the clean mic signal from your tutorial, right? one channel is just mic and the other one is game audio, so I can record them separately
quick question, does the streaming software have to be open for this to work? In other words, lets say I just rebooted my computer and want to start streaming and I hit the smart pad that maps to the start streaming function? will this automatically launch StreamLabs or OBS and start the stream?
I have a Rodecaster Duo and a Rode Streamer X, have an ASUS ROG gaming laptop and a gaming PC. I want to run streaming from the laptop, play on the PC. The camera and game will be captured with the Streamer X, all audio will be controlled from the Caster Duo. At the moment it is the sound that I am having problems with. Any ideas for such a setup?
Are you saying that the gaming PC isn’t recognizing the RCP2? If not, try a different usb cable and/or usb port. If that doesn’t work, plug USB2 into the streaming PC and see if it works. If it does, you have an issue on your gaming PC. If not, try factory reset of RCP2. If factory reset doesn’t work, return/replace RCP2 or contact Rode customer support.
Not sure how this hasn’t blown up but THANK GOODNESS I found you! I only have one question.. I work with the Rodecaster Duo.. obviously I’m limited to 4 faders but I also don’t use a work computer or discord so I was wondering if I could basically use the fader you used for discord as the one I could use for my call of duty game chat?
Kudos on this tutorial! One question, though. Coming from the GoXLR my first intent for buying the RCP2 is to include the occasional podcast amongst friends. But seeing as the mics besides the SM7B will become line ins on this setup. Do you have a suggestion for additional mics later on? Whether it be an additional interface, etc? Thanks for your time and vids!
I believe it is likely that Rode will enable additional virtual interfaces in the future that will free up at least one physical mic input in this configuration so that would help you. Couldn’t guess when that might happen though. Outside of that, if you’re strictly looking at analog microphones for your podcast friends you’d probably have to go with a separate mixer/interface and bring that into the RCP2.
i'm having issues of , game pc audio does not transmit to and readable level on stream pc , game pc is secondary's , i have all inputs and outputs rodecaster provides in obs and cannot see or hear any coming in , should i have the secondary options for sounds also in stream pc as i only have "main 1 , chat" inputs and outputs on stream pc. I noticed in video you don't demonstrate game pc audio , can you demonstrate that for me or something?
Thanks for the video. Read through the comments and saw you mentioned to have the main mix as an input. Threw Main Stereo on Mic/Aux 2 and boom! Gaming PC Audio is coming through to OBS. Props brutha.
I've got a slightly different use case but I think what you have shown here will be very useful. I just wanted to say thanks for a very clear description - Much appreciated.
@ashy941 dude I had my first dual pc stream last night & your tutorial was spot on. Had 0 issues. You're a life saver dude. I held back for so long but I'm glad I found your video. GG!
If you press the listen and mute buttons at the same time on the RCP2 fader for Discord it will remove it from your audio mix while letting you hear it in your headphones. However, you won’t be able to hear your other audio sources in your headphones while those buttons are active. If you want to mute / control discord in OBS you’ll have to add it as a separate source in OBS.
dude, this tutorial is incredible. Ordering the line in cables now, but I'm confident when they get here, that everything will work perfectly. THATS HOW GOOD THIS TUTORIAL WAS. Bravo.
Yeah, probably some new audio devices showed up associated with the new displays and Discord is using one of them as output. Double check Discord audio settings.
Seriously one of the best tutorials!! You cover all the bases with out any fluff! I went to Audio Engineering school and I was still having trouble figuring this out. Albeit I have a Apollo interface where all my sound goes to then out to my monitors and IEMS/Headphones. But yeah man AMAZING job!
Hey bro, how do you manage to use the rodecaater and still get spatial sound Dolby Atmos ? I'm trying to get the spatial sound to gaming like warzone and still be able to monitor the sound in the rodecaster. Thanks a lot
Hey man, i followed all of your routing settings and for whatever reason im getting this unwanted echo, i’ve resettled my RCP2 and tried re-configuring the routing however when i get rid of the echo, i can no longer pick up any audio to OBS on my streaming PC
Do you have any problems with the DUO when you switch things around? I don't have the line cords and the elgato. When I switch things around on the streaming PC and software of rode it messes with setting in the OBS and discord. Any clue how to fix it>?
Hi man! Can you please help me figure this out? I used to plug the IEMS into the PC directly and get Dolby Atmos for audio spatial sound, but at this moment, with the IEMS plugged into the rodecaster I can't turn it on. Can you help me figure this out? Thanks a lot!!
You can’t. Rodecaster is not a supported device for Dolby, DTS, etc. You can work around it by using a few pieces of free software (Voicemeter, Hesuvi, Equalizer APO). It’s a little bit complicated to set up.
@@ashy941 sorry, I mean to say line out pc jack. Normally you can monitor the mic voice via rodecaster. I would like to use the line out on the PC for gaming but be able to monitoring the mic too. Is there any possibility to send the sound from the rodecaster to the PC line in?

I use the duo with Switcher Studio in the M1 iPad Air usb-c, I would love the midi to control 1, 2, 3, & 4 keys on a (virtual) keyboard as this would cycle the 4 cameras, now that would be cool
Didn't expect to se NADESHOT here🤣but yes, I had the same problem as well. Your 1st troubleshoot you gave Nadeshot worked for me👍🏼 audio input etc. THANKS‼️
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER, I watched your video severely times so I could understand where I was going wrong and eventually found the issue. RODE needs to pay you for this video because i would still be lost in the woods with out. Thank you so much.
Would this work with wavelink (stream deck +) to control the extra virtual channels? My situation is a bit different as I need the ability to use 2 mics so I’m going to be picking up the rodecaster duo.
The newest version of this midi is 3.2.0 and is quite a bit different than what is shown in this video. 10:13 - here is where the new version, 3.2.0, looks very different than what is shown in the tutorial. Although you can still follow it, it looks a little different.
What confuses me the most is the Line In/Out of my computer. The Line Out (green) from the mother board goes to my speakers. Then my Line In (Light Blue) in the mother board is what goes to my RC. If I connect the Line Out to the RC... then I'll have no audio to my speakers...?... Or I'm stupid? xDDD
Those sources are added individually in OBS. They do not route through the RCP2 in this configuration. Check out my other videos that show more detail and advanced configurations!
Sorry if this was explained, I’m an amateur at this audio stuff haha, would a device like this allow for 3 audio tracks in OBS (on the streaming/recording PC)? Such as 1 track for Game and system audio coming from the gaming PC, 1 track for my microphone, and 1 track for my friends in the discord, im looking for 3 seperare tracks so when I edit a video in, I can individually edit my discord call to be higher than the game or my microphone audio for example, this is something i can’t currently achieve on my GOXlr setup because I have to use the goxlr on my main PC (because I have a MacBook, as secondary PC. Long and possibly complicated questions, thanks.
I don’t have experience with this stuff on Mac, but I believe the answer is Yes, as long as you run Discord on the Mac. Even with this simple setup you already have two separate tracks, one for your mic and one for the game/main mix. If you add the Discord audio output source to OBS there’s your three tracks. I have other more complicated setup videos with additional analog sources and routing scenarios you may want to check out as well.
