I Replaced My Elgato Stream Setup with a Rodecaster Duo and I Love It! 

Really nice POV on the duo thanks!

Rode confirmed they’re working on more virtual channels, once this is released, it’ll be a great device

Or hear me out .... Get a stream deck+ and a Wave XLR and good to go. Sure the EQ and everything is done through software but the stream deck+ has 8 pages of macros and control and supports VST through Wavelink so you can EQ any Mic. The Wave XLR provides plenty of gain to power the ShureSM7B and Ive compared the size of the Rodecaster Duo and getting the Elgato Devices is a smaller footprint. I think if I had the option I would get a Rodecaster Duo and still use the Stream Deck+ to control all of my audio.

I got my RODE CASTER DUO for my bday and I love it, the mic I use with it is My sm7b…….it’s clean.

I had the Elgato stream deck for 1 day and got rid of it. That was two days ago. For my July 4 bday I picked up today the Rode caster duo = ZERO regrets. Night and day. A few technical things to sort out. Tip: Use ONLY A to A (from Rode Caster to computer.). Do NOT use USB A and USB C (or any type of converter.) And I LOVE the microphone as well. $800 package. And the boom beats yeti hands down. I hated that crap boom the yeti had. Never held the mic quite rite :)

Your audio progression has been nearly identical (I landed on the Earthworks Icon Pro over the Shure SM7B). I've had my Duo for a couple weeks now and it's been great. Fun to learn and streamlined my setup. Goodbye Wave XLR. Thanks for your content. It's been enjoyable watching your audio journey.

Sm7b sounds heavenly with this audio interface 👌 especially with those rode presets that are tastefully done .

I love my Rodecaster duo, but I also kept my my vanilla stream deck. Only because I would like my stream deck to focus on control and my Rodecaster simply focus on audio/sfx.

Mic settings are a bit quiet for me. May want to boost the audio by a few dB

Looking at an upgrade/replacement to my GoXLR Mini. I definitely want to wait for the update which brings virtual audio channels. Another potential device I’m considering is the Roland Bridge Cast, but this won’t replace my stream deck

I have no hate for Elgato, I use their Stream Deck for both streaming and as a work peripheral and absolutely love the thing. The Wave XLR though has been less than stellar. I understand they were going for simplicity with the product but they have been having a series of really bad technical updates as of late which have made using the thing almost impossible for me. VSTs either stop working, glitch out or require a technical update to be usable again. It really screws up my entire process when I just want to hop on and record something. I'd prefer having more hardware with fewer software glitches than more software with a higher chance of glitches. Honestly, your solution with the duo looks fantastic and I'm likely making this as my next purchase. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the benefits.

Great video, do you have any tutorial of setting up the smb7 with rodecaster duo?? Thx…

Is that box thing necessary for podcasts? (from the thumbnail of the video)

I got a boss Gigcaster 8. Mainly for the guitar aspect but it can stream too.

I have the Rodecaster Pro 2 and I love it

But can you change stream audio, specific app volume (such as Discord) only for the stream/viewers and not yourself?

can you tell me how to set it up so it sounds good in game? People in Call of duty say it sounds really bad even though it sounds good to me.

My music audio doesn’t hit on my speakers like my focusrite does. Any clue why?? I’m using quarter inch cable not sure if that matters

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

Could I run the DT990 250ohms through the duo?

If they really want this to be that all-in-one device, it needs optical audio in/toslink for consoles, and more virtual devices just like the goxlr. Without that it can’t truly replace the goxlr as a streamer mixer. I haven’t heard someone’s rodecaster setup give any significant mic quality benefit over the GoXLR.

You can connect an mirrorless camera like Canon M50 and record audio with cable?

Great Video!!! So I have an older Macbook pro (2015) with 2 USB-A ports. I have 2 cameras. A canon 90D DSLR as my main, and a logitech c920 as my overhead (using Camlink 4k). These work great with ECAMM thanks to your videos. My problem lies with the Rodecaster Pro II that I'll be adding to my studio. Given that I only have 2 USB-A ports that I'm already using for my two camera inputs, I'll be forced to eliminate the overhead USB cam to make room for the Rodecaster Pro USB audio input. I'm aware that I could run audio from the Rodecaster (monitor out) 1/4 inch to 3.5mm into my Cannon, and then into the Mac via HDMI to Camlink/USB-A. This would leave me with the second USB-A port availible, however everything I've seen suggests that running audio out of the Rodecaster and into a camera mic input isn't the best way to go. This is why I'm considering going with an ATEM Mini Pro I could combine both cameras (TAO converter tor USB cam) into the ATEM mini and into my Mac and then the Rodecaser into the second USB-A port via USB-C/USB-A adapter. I was just hoping you could shed some light on what equipment is available (hubs,docs) that would allow me to use muliple cameras (4 max) with the Rodecaster Pro II and Ecamm. I'm not ready to upgrade my Mac yet so making my Mac Ports limitations (2 USB-A, 2 thunderbolt-2, 1 HDMI) work has been difficult to get info on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have the Pro Version of Ecamm Live and i love it. -Blessings

Greta review

Thanks

How you solve the background noises like fans noises

Can I use my Wave 3 mic with the Rodecaster Duo?

Can I record phone calls while playing music in the background during the call? 😎👍...I just wanna record phone calls with family and friends, not into streaming or hooking this up to pc..wish I can find more videos just explaining phone call recording 😎...but great video I watched it a few times already.

If this ever drops to 400 bucks there's a good chance I am going to pick this up, would be upgrading from a Wave XLR.

New Sub here. Good channel. OHHHH I need a workshop on OBS!!! I have the rodecaster as well.

One thing I do not like is just 3 band EQ for mic, which is not acceptable for device that costs this much.

I just picked up a rodecaster duo on sale recently for 500 AUD price includes GST (sale tax) thats about 321 USD I replaced my goxlr

Two things that I don't like about Rode is that Unify is really rudimentary and quite unreliable (at least for me). And that the headphone outputs in Rode interfaces are pretty bad.
