The Rodecaster Pro is an awesome podcast/streaming studio with 4 XLR inputs, but what if you need more inputs? Is that possible? This ridiculous videos shows you a few ways to add more XLR inputs to the Rodecaster Pro.
I definitely went overboard here, but the fundamental idea is fairly solid and could be a good solution for you.

One of the most AWESOME!!! 🤪 Well…I am a bit of audio/tech geek (well, I guess just a geek 🤓)…funny…I friend’s birthday popped up on FB and I was reminded of how we used to do dumb, livestreaming, radio shows. (I had TOTALLY forgot about that!!!) We had a lot of fun…chatting with our little group, pulling pranks, basically just goofing off and having fun! Also, I ran sound at my church my parents helped start - 25 YEARS ago! Setting up and tearing down EVERY Sunday was a BEAST…but I can look back know and see I learned a lot.

I did this with my MGX12U to the Rodecaster, and it was great, because I could use the Rodecaster's processing on all microphones at once. The only downside is, I spent money on microphones I didn't need. 😆 I just love switching microphones, I guess I'm sort of a collector.

it's not at all a ridiculous video, it confirmed what I hoped to achieve with this Rodecaster ( my Pro 2 just arrived today). Although I won't be doing this with multiple mics (maybe sometimes 1 for my acoustic instruments), but I have several keyboards and an electronic drum set I will be connecting via a mixer. Playing them on my own, I won't be using more than 2 keyboards at the same time (only 2 hands, what a shame) so I won't be getting the cacophony you had. For me, it's all about having everything connected and ready to use at all times, and that's what you showed is possible.

@mp999 2 года назад

Brilliant channel Tom as always. We recently had the need to have 12 guests. Luckily we have two Caster Pros so we put splitters into the 4 channels on both giving us 8 XLR inputs on each (potentially 16 mics). We then bounced the output from one Caster pro onto one USB channel and it worked like a dream, and even simpler than using Garage Band.

@tombuck 2 года назад

12 guests! Wow! I'm really glad you were able to get everything working- that must've been more than al little stressful 😁

@mp999 2 года назад

@@tombuck Ha ha - it was! And not one we’re likely to repeat anytime soon! 😉 Keep up the great work - always enjoy your channel. By the way both CasterPros will not deliver a signal out of the quarter inch audio outputs out the back for some reason. Any ideas why? I’ve heard others have had similar issues. You get sound ok from the headphone outputs so the cables are fine.

@allardamelink Год назад

Thanks, great video. I bought the Scarlett 2i2 on your advice. The downside of linking the Scarlett to your laptop and then to the Rodecaster is the delay you'll have on your headphones. And also you can't use the multitrack recording. So you'll have to record on SD and then transfer it to your laptop. I found out that you can also use the monitoring outputs of the Scarlett to add a fifth microphone to your Rodecaster. Use a 1x 3.5mm -> 2x 6.35mm splitter cable and connect your scarlett to the mini jack input for smartphones. In that way you avoid the delay on the headphones and you can use multitrack recording on your laptop.

@@tombuck It's not the Scarlett forcing the mics left and right. It's the setting in Garage Band. To fix: Create 2 tracks in Garage Band.

Hi Tom I watched with great pleasure and a big smile your video on the possibility of connecting 10 microphones to the rodecaster pro I don't know if you have an H6 zoom but if we could connect it (I don't know how this is why I'm asking the question yet) to the rodecaster pro we would have 4 additional microphone inputs?

@tombuck 3 года назад

Yes! You could run a 3.5mm cable for the H6 headphone out to the smartphone channel on the Rodecaster, or you could use a 3.5 to xlr adapter for one of the 4 main channels. 👍

@@tombuck Hi Tom I think 🤔 no, I'm sure you're the best. Thanks again for your quick response and thank you for your work. For now, with the pandemic, my students are on vacation, I will take the opportunity to reflect and set up the Podcast training with them and even though at first, the H6 zoom will be enough to start and do tests. I think maybe make me happy, follow your advice and then invest in a Rodecaster Pro. I also enjoyed your test between Rodecaster Pro and the Zoom PodTrack P8 and like you, I have a big preference for Rode. If you agree I would keep you informed of the progress of my different projects. Thank you again for your help. Best Regard. Amicalement. Jean‑Pierre

Tom Buck, can I use the RODE PODMIC To pre record a Syndicated Classic Hits 70s, 80s, countdown for my production? Does the PODMIC Work for that?

@tombuck 3 года назад

It'll work for whatever you need, it's a great dynamic mic 👍

@DissertationAcademy 3 года назад

Tom, great fun (and educational too). I've got my PC (surface pro 6) connected to the rodecaster via USB. I know that the sound from my PC arrives at the Rodecaster because I can hear them, but then those sounds cannot be heard via zoom. All the other channels in rodecaster can be heard on zoom. Any ideas as to why this could be happening?

@tombuck 3 года назад

It sounds like you might have USB Mix Minus turned on in the Advanced Audio Settings. That should fix the issue.

Hey, Tom - first and foremost, you rock brother! Congrats on going full-time at home! Next - your Twitter needs to reflect that! It still says, "Himynameistom. I’m a high school digital media teacher and I make RU-vid videos! I do other stuff too, but those things are my favorites." Now for the actual question. On your suggestion - I purchased the Rodecaster. I previously used the Zoom H6. A problem I'm having with both is I have two mics plugged in - but only 1 will work. The two mics are a Zingyou (Unsure of the model) and Movo LV4-O Omnidirectional XLR Lavalier. When plugged-in together on the Zoom H6 and/or Rodecaster Pro - I can't have both. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance! Wes

@tombuck 3 года назад

Hmm, I wish I could solve this problem, but I haven't used either of those mics myself. I've definitely had to play with the streo/mono settings on the H6 in the past, so maybe that could have something to do with it? Off to update the Twitter bio! Thanks for the kind words!

@thechrisdotcom2839 3 года назад

Great video. I was just messing with my Rodecaster Pro the other day wondering how I can get more XLRs. I have a Zoom H5 that has 2 XLR ins for mics. I was gonna get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm and run it out from the H5 to the phone channel on the Rodecaster which takes the other 3.5mm. Would that work as well? I have the gains on the H5 to help control the levels since both will be ran into one channel on the Rodecaster. What are your thoughts?

@tombuck 3 года назад

That’ll definitely work 👍

Sir, I have one question: Roadcaster could be accompanying me to have a cool voice for my song cover? And probably could it help me to raise my tonality as to go to higher key result ( meaning doing voice into transposed one to higher or a lower key? See you around, right here watching from ROMA con AMOR!

The Rodecaster doesn't currently offer any sort of tuning or pitch adjustment, but you never know what could be added in future Firmware.

@Gamesandstuffstudio 3 года назад

Just on the point of the Head phone AMPS being Noisy, I have conducted my own tests and have concluded it is actually the Microphone Pre Amps that are Noisy.. If you listen to a Mic fader without a Mic connected you will hear the noise. close that fader and the noise goes. If you listen to say the USB with a source connected but no Audio passing it is clean at full volume on the Head Phone Amps. So the result is the noise that is being heard is actually from the Mic Pre amps

@tombuck 3 года назад

I've noticed this too, but for me, that noise doesn't translate to the recording/streams/etc. That lead me to think it's the headphones 🤔

@bitterjesterfoundationfort6599 2 года назад

Are you outputting only L or R from the Yamaha mixer into Channel 1 on your Rodecaster? Or is there a way for you to output both L & R?

@tombuck 2 года назад

You can use a “y cable” that has 1/4 inch L/R connectors on one end and a single XLR or 1/4 inch on the other 👍

@sirealhq 12 дней назад

Does it matter if you use the Left or Right XLR output when connecting the mixer to the Rodecaster Pro? Also shouldn't this work the same in theory is the mixer had a 1/4 audio jack output to put into the Rodecaster Mic channel?

@coffeetimeWEC 3 года назад

Wouldn’t the noise gate help when everything is unmuted, at least for the stuff going through the XLR inputs on the RODECaster Pro?

@tombuck 3 года назад

That’s true...definitely worth experimenting with.

@AndyPark365 3 года назад

Hi Tom - I know you use Rode VideoMic NTG sometimes. Do you run this through the Rodecaster Pro also? If so, how do you connect to it? Would also appreciate any recommendation on processing settings that you use for this shotgun. Am a big fan of your channel. Thanks.

@tombuck 3 года назад

Thanks Andy! When I use the Videomic, I run it straight into my camera, but you could connect it to the smartphone channel. As for processing a shotgun, I sometimes use Audition's DeReverb option to reduce some echo, but that's usually about it.

@AndyPark365 3 года назад

@@tombuck Thanks for your quick response. Hmmm, now I'm thinking purchasing a Rodecaster Pro may have been an overkill for me. I only have one XLR mic. LOL I guess I'll need to buy more to justify my Rodecaster purchase.

@CJbanning Год назад

what program could I use on pc? I do want to run the Rodecaster Pro and the Goxlr Mini at the same time. I like the swear button. Is there another way to emulate the swear button to bleat a person out without using the GOXLR mini? By the way I love your content being a disabled veteran. I intend to start a podcast soon about veteran and also growing up in group homes and foster homes.

@randykendrick2351 2 года назад

Tom, which output of the Yamaha mixer did you use to connect to the Rodecaster?

@tombuck 2 года назад

for this I used the headphone output because that was the easiest way to get a stereo signal into the RCP 😬

@TappedInReviews 2 года назад

What would happen if you were to use an XLR SPLITTER on the rodecaster?

I've never personally used an XLR splitter, so I can't say. I don't think you'd rip a hole in the fabric of spacetime or anything though.

I'm getting horrible mic phasing with my rodecaster pro when using 2 mics, is there like a polarity switch feature or something that I'm not aware of, because outside of completely rearranging my physical setup I can't stop it from blowing out the lows, makes 800$ mics sound like the podcaster mic.

@tombuck 2 года назад

Hmm, I've used a lot of mics with the RCP and haven't had phasing issues unless they're super close to each other (like 6-8 inches).

@briankoperski 2 года назад

Great videos here Tom. I've used your videos a great source of info about the Rodecaster, and how to make the most of it. I currently run a studio podcast with 10 broadcast headphone mics connected to a Yamaha MG16XU, and now I want to channel those through to the Rodecaster to have the added benefit of Bluetooth and the sound pads. Ideally I'm shooting for 14 mics, but based on how you connected your Yamaha, I might be stuck at 13 total. Is it better to connect the Yamaha from phones to XLR on the RCP, or would a stereo out and into the phone connector be a better way? Additionally, is there any way for the cast on the Yamaha to hear the sounds from the RCP?Would love to hear your thoughts on creating this mega studio show. Cheers for providing stellar and reliable content! Brian

@tombuck 2 года назад

That's a great question. This video was more "proof of concept" than anything, and I'd probably do a few things different in your situation where you need it to be reliable for regular use. I think the best way to connect the Yamaha would be with an XLR Y cable where you can connect the L and R ends to the Yamaha's outputs and then run it into one of the XLR channels on the Rodecaster. 🤔

@briankoperski 2 года назад

@@tombuck Thanks for the super fast repy! Cheers! So what I've laid out in my complex diagram.....10 microphones will come into the Yamaha mixer, which will output (via 3.5" jack out from the headphone on mixer) into channel 1 of the RCP (via XLR). From there I'll add 3 other mics on the RCP, giving a grand total of 13 broadcast headset microphones connected. To give everyone 'connected' the full audio experience from both units, I'll run stereo 3.5" monitor cables out of the RCP into my 2 (dasiy chained) headphone amps, where everyone that is connected will hopefully hear their input into the show. Why the need for so many mics? I'm teaching a university podcasting class and I need 15 students to talk (and hear) at the same time. In theory....my layout should work, and my multicolour cable diagrams show that it will, but I might need a flux capacitor to make it all work. Have you got a spare by chance? I've spent the better part of 3 weeks trying to connect everything, and I am running out of time to make it all work. Cheers for all your feedback!
