Why is it that the sound from the internal microphone of the Go 2 is better than when the sound is connected to the camera? For example, when I use merged mode + db-6 + audio mic 1. When I speak louder the audio from connecting to the camera sounds too high, but when I hear the sound from the internal backup transmitter the sound is good and not peaking. Please explain and provide a solution 🙏
Thank you. Just got one. One TX for personal tutorials and mic-handle interviews. This was very helpful. I think I can even connect the TX to a rodecaster without the receiver if I'm not mistaken. Do you know anything about that? I have a RØdecaster Pro II and I figured the best place to test my gain settings before going off on a shoot would be right at my rodecaster with my headphones on. But I was curious if it's tough to connect.
Bruh it’s sad that you buy this item and you have to go to RU-vid to watch how to set them up .. there’s no instructions or nothing that helps in the actual box
Your video is really a lifesaver for someone like me who has close to zero idea of how microphones and audio recording actually work. Excellent demonstration and explanation!
I just bought the Rode Wireless Go 2 today and I am so happy I came accross your video and your amazing tutorial. This is probably one of the best tutorials that I have seen on RU-vid. You are very thorough with tour explanation and it helped me a lot. I was actually kind of upset when I bought it for my content production because I have heard great things about the product but I had no idea how it worked or how to use it. If it was not for your video I would have been so lost. Please continue to make great tutorials like this, were we can all benefit from. You are amazing 🙏
I must've watched at least 50+ Trainings on the Rode Wireless Go2 - and Not Only is this the ABSOLUTE BEST Training, delivered in a short, succinct format - I believe this Training will help ANY newbie dealing with cameras and mic's to get a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the Audio-variables involved in a camera/mic setup. This should be made mandatory in every Creative University, the Understanding of the Basic Principles is so deep, with so much clarity!! Thanks a MILLION, Jeven - You Rock!!
The thing that convinced me to sell my Wireless GO I and get the II is the USB-C connectivity to my MacBook Pro and to my iPhone with the SC-15 cable. Great video! Super detailed
Your guide was superbly clear, detailed and very well structured with topics introduced and later involving deep dives. I owned the first model and now have the Mark II and you highlighted things that I never knew were possible. Thank you.
This is an insanely good tutorial. As someone who use the RWG II for the odd job here and there, I need a refresher each time. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
I actually have two sets of these. A serious game changer and an incredibly reliable and useful tool. This video is epic! I feel like I’m stealing it by watching for free!
Having just bought the GoII your video was priceless. There is no mention in packaging about the software and generally the information with the device is lacking. I have recommended to Rode that you be compensated for providing a superior user engagement. Great stuff - thank you so much
Thank you so much for this super in depth breakdown man. I'm a rookie here and have a great documentary i'm trying to work on and just got these to record the audio. This helped me so so much man. I'm really greatful. Tough doing it all on your own with just your middle America budget, but I got these and a gimble so it's getting there! If anyone is ever interested, i'm working on something i'm proud of... weight loss journey and sustainability, including all the ups and downs because there are plenty of both.
Just received my Rode Wireless GO 2. I'm now half-way into this tutorial and I got to say that you give the best advice. You've saved me from multiple disasters already!
2 years later and your still helping people lol. Honestly, for over a week now I couldn't figure out what the H was going on! You're the only one who's explained it to me. Thank you!! Off to get off get adaptors in the morning 😅
Long, but well worth the watch if you own these microphones!! Thank you for taking the time to explain the use, various settings, and workflow for one- and two-person recording sessions. I'm just getting mine set up. I've learned that -18db is too low to record. I'll put these up to -6db and do another test. I'm recording a drag car on Sunday (1,100hp) and I'm concerned about the audio blowing out. I'll be sure to dial down the gain to -18db when he fires up the engine. Thank you Jeven - terrific tutorial. All the best, Cheers Rick PS - I liked your example of exercise trainers getting excited - that worked for me. Often I'll film next to a highway, and I'm yelling to be heard over the traffic. In those situations--like yours--I have to turn down the gain so my audio doesn't "blow out."
I hope Rode paid you handsomely for being their human instruction manual. If they didn’t, they should! Watching this video gave me everything that I needed and more, to use my newly purchased Rode II. Much more helpful than the information, or rather the lack of, that came with the units. Well done sir and thank you!
Thank you for explaining every single detail...I watched other videos, but I couldn't tell what I was doing wrong until I watched your video. Something soooooo simple! Such as not plugging the cable into the headphones input! LOL The truth is that there are a lot of beginners like me who may benefit from your video! Thank you amigo 😃👍
Oh my god! i can’t thank you enough.. 13:47 Was legit doing this one simple mistake.. of using headphone input and not the audio input.. I almost requested a refund from the buyer because i thought its a fault in the mic.. searched so many videos and the checked the official website too.. nothing worked bit your video!! thank you so so much❤
I just bought a Rode Wireless Go II and i've now got a brilliant understanding of how to use it. One of the best video guides i've seen, keep them coming.
Hi Peter. How are you getting on with the Rode Wireless Go II? I was about to buy the first version of the Go, but opted for the Go II at the last minute. It arrives in a couple of days. I want to wear the mic under clothing - have you tried this? Any tips for minimising rustling? I'm hoping a dead cat will be enough.
I find it excellent. I use a lav mic but wear it on the outside of my clothes. I use a dead cat and its only very very windy conditions that have an effect in terms of wind noise. Ive heard lots of negatives about this mic but I find it to be flawless - so far.
@@petercorbett1610 Okay thanks for that. I'm hoping it might be possible to keep the mic fully hidden under clothing, without going for a lav mic, but I suppose only testing can tell me what will and won't work.
I can hear tons of background noise on my Rode Wireless 2, my apartment is entirely silent except for a little noise from my refrigerator and I have the camera audio very low and the gain on the microphone at -27 DB and i can still hear the background noise from the fridge VERY clearly. The audio sounds awful considering this cost me $260
I know this video is a year old, but many still watch it. Two things: 1. Rode updated so that you can batch export backup files from Rode Central app. Life is way better. 2. The transmitter CONTINUES to record even after receiver is turned off. Not sure if that new, but I verified that today. I recorded to H6, let a dialogue going while I turned off the H6, unplugged the Rode receiver and then powered it off. I then continued talking for awhile to see. When I plugged the transmitter into Rode Central, all of the dialogue was there, even after the receiver was powered off.
I accidentally unpaired one of my mics yesterday without ever having known how to pair them. Your video with the well marked chapters allowed me to fix it in about a minute. Thanks for that.
Very helpful video! Thanks Jeven! One thing I want to mention for anyone that sees this comment is that my units came with a much older firmware, so I was trying to follow along and things weren't the same as what I was seeing on this video. Eventually we got to the part about Rode Central and I downloaded that and plugged in and it prompted to me to update to a new firmware, even newer than what was being used at the time ofmaking this video. Well... that made it work like what Jeven was describing. So if you are getting a different looking screen and things arent working, try the Rode Central first and update the firmware if needed. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this! Just bought the Rode Wireless Go II and this has video has been a lifesaver. I tried to watch the shorter videos on the microphones, but sometimes you have to have step by step explanation. Honestly it didn’t feel like 47 minutes
I had just gotten the new RodeGo2 for a shoot the very next day, and while stressing over my lack of using the new system and its features, I stumbled on this video!! After watching long enough to understand them a bit, I had to pause the video so I could “process my happiness”!!! My wife’s been laughing at that statement ever since! Thanks for a great tutorial my friend! 😆
I am only half way through and already SUPER STOKED that you made this video.. I am just starting out and saw RODE in a creator's video. I am brand new to this stuff and so far, its been great. I will have to watch this video a few more times.. but since I am halfway through and it's time to get ready for work.... I will come back and finish this later!!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!
Used my wireless go 2 twice in the last year because both times I had audio errors and both were weddings.. after this video I’m brushing the dust off them and going to give them another shot. Appreciate the effort put into this video.
Oh my god thank you so much! I’m a yoga teacher and was having such a headache trying to get my fancy new kit working ready for an online class in the morning. 🌟You are an Angel🌟Perfectly clear instructions, best rode set up video I’ve found and I searched a lot today! 😇🙏 😁💖
Had a few questions about this setup and been wanting this for awhile but couldnt find the answers i needed. You cleared up everything I was wondering about this setup. Great video with some fantastic information
Thanks God this is I am looking because of my subscribers always telling me that they heard only 1 side of headphones and because of your explaination now.Thanks😍❤️
This was Outstanding! I really appreciate you putting this together. I film outside all the time on my channel and just upgraded to this system to get better audio quality. The issue I had was the instructions included were terrible. This tutorial was amazingly informative and clear. Thanks again. Take Care!
The depth of information covered in this video is truly impressive. It’s evident that a lot of effort went into creating such an informative and detailed piece.
Purchased this a while back but was a little confused about the levels on my A7siii and on the mics. Thought I'd have to go far and wide to get the answer but this video just showed me how to easily plus more. 👊🏼 TY!!
Thank you so much! I used this Rode Go II system on my kids TV show (at the last minute substitution) and your instruction has been massively helpful! Thank you! Thank you!
I just got a Rode Wireless Go II a few days ago to use with a GoPro and this tutorial made it really easy to understand how to use it. This is by far one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
Thank you. I am so glad you popped up when I got my Rode out of the box, and I had to google how to use them. I wish I knew you needed a separate cable to plug into the phone, bit annoying. Great video really well presented and super helpful.
Thank you Jeven, this presentation was excellent. I have had the Rode for ages, finally I know how to use it. All of this should have been provided by Rode.
Dude, I'm a new you tuber that just got monetized and I just got the rode and OMG. You are totally awsome! I hope you read this and I want you to know your my go to guy! Thank you so much. I hope for your continued success!
Thanks for this masterclass on how to use the Rode Wireless Go II. 🙏 An issue I ran into was I enable Safety Mode with Merged. *The result* : I get a Left Channel with High Volume and a Right Channel with Low Volume.
I damn near lost my mind because I didn’t read the manual nor had knowledge of the split vs merged audio. Thank you so much. Now I’m able to record with Rode 1 and Rode 2 simultaneously with a headphone splitter and TRRS adapters in each line. Much appreciated for the helpful video!
I wanted to thank you for this incredible video! you had one tip about the merged recording when using with a single transmitter! Yesterday I used my wireless go 2 for the first time with one transmitter and I had only the left channel working and couldn't figure out why! your video nailed it down for me so thank you!
Thank you! I bought this mic and straight out of the box I couldn’t get it working. Thank you for being thorough, if it wasn’t for this video… I was going to return the mics. You’re a life saver ‼️
Thank you so much for this guide! Have you considered going through the new features RODE just announced? They must have listened to you on the frustrations you experience with the exporting of audio. Again as a beginner I find this guide really helpful.
Thank you so much for creating this video! I'm a creator that FINALLY bought their first Mic. I'm not tech savvy and this video is so clear and helpful. Made figuring this out so much easier. Thank you!
Thanks Jeven. I'm a newbie, wannabe creator. I have a nice canon digital and got my RODE Go II today. Your explanation how was excellent and just what I needed. Thanks
This was the best how-to on this that I have seen. Thank you for such good, detailed and useful information! I am so glad I found your video. You covered it all.
Thanks for a good tour of the features. It's a great mic, but the instruction card that came with the kit was a bit like an Ikea assembly diagram... They should have just added a QR code straight to this video. I went from simply testing the audio feed to my camera before watching this video to getting my levels on point, setting up backup recording and learning the button sequences to do things! And all acquainted in under an hour. Love it!
Thank you!!! I accidentally muted myself and almost started recording... Thanks to your instructions, I was able to figure it out and get back to creating.
This has been incredibly helpful dude! I just got the Wireless GO II and thought that it would be so much more intuitive and plug and play… Filmed some content for Instagram with it today and when I brought my footage into FCPX, I discovered that it was shot in stereo and only in the left side. Needless to say, I came straight to YT and found this and am so glad that I did! Thanks for all your content Jeven!
Thanks so much for such an informative video. I don't have a chance to use this mic often so it is easy to forget the how to of this mic, so going back to this video is wonderful.
