@renovxperts 10 месяцев назад

An awesome review. Thanks a ton Harris. The 2 devices seem quite solid for content creation. What's your take on these 2, especially the Mackie (as the "audio interface and processor"), in terms of "low budget" audio & music production? At times doing live streaming & podcasting too. Would these work well for audio/music production? Or would say such would be better done supported by something like the Midas MR18 Digital Mixer (albeit the MR18 would likely be a less favorable choice from the perspective of Live Streaming and Podcasting). Thanks again for this great review and your content over the years.

Got my Mackie working with Linux, by going out with balance leads to my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, then USB out to my PC. No longer need Windows to load up settings for GOXLR. Never before has my voice ever sounded so clean. I'm a musician too, though have not plugged in my 1956 Hofner President into this as of yet, or my Gretsch. The problem with a lot of these mixers is they rely on Windows software, but Mackie has it all built in, plus the benefit of having an off switch and knowing that your settings are remembered is a must. Screen is perfect too. I do my own show for work on WhatsApp, though the 16mb limit of sound file upload, only leaves total minutes of 40 minutes, using open source sound converter mixing output to very low quality, but the Variable Bitrate to best quality, resample to 11KHz and the sound is still good enough.

@Merciful_Angel 10 месяцев назад

Biggest issue with the Elgato ecosystem; that software is not just helpful, it's required to make everything work because the mics and the capture cards misreport their hardware.

@JstYari 10 месяцев назад

Sorry for the long question but hopefully you can help I'm currently using the Rodecaster Pro 2 with a two PC setup. Gaming on a Windows PC and sending the image over to OBS on a M2 MacBook Pro using the Elgato HD60 X, it's pretty easy to capture the audio from the roadcaster on the Windows PC but this is where my problem is, I also record music on my MacBook using an Apogee Symphony interface into protools. what is the best way to use the Apogee Symphony interface as my main source on the MacBook pro and at the same time feed that audio to the Rodecaster so that the stream can hear the music session as I hear it. Or maybe there's a way to use both interfaces at the same time?, idk Note I tried headphone out of the Apogee interface into a line in on the Rodecaster but it wasn't that great , how would you attack this ?

@Merciful_Angel 10 месяцев назад

I think half the reason I watch these videos is because I remember working in the theatre in the days before any of this technology, when MiniDisc (rewritable like tapes, crisp like CDs) was a massive QoL improvement for us and laying 100 yards of multicore XLR was the only reliable way to get sound from one side of a room to the other. The first time I saw a sound-tech using a laptop, we all crowded around to learn what this sorcery was. Even if I have no current use for mixers like these, I love to see how accessible everything is getting and how much control they give to professionals.

Since I want something for my windows mac dual stream setup the rode seems a bit more to my liking, but I probably will never need that many channels for microphones :D If I got either of those, how would I implement it with an existing GoXLR mini?

@talusamaranth 10 месяцев назад

I’ve been looking for a replacement for my GoXLR Mini as it seems it will be obsolete soon. I would love either of these, although they seem a little too much for what I do. Do you have recommendations on similar platforms but smaller maybe, or that doesn’t have as much I/O or functionality.

@goddamngundy 5 месяцев назад

As someone who not only streams games but also likes to do voice overs and sing, which one would you suggest? Currently looking into either of these and have experience with the Mackie Profx12v2 for my DJ/KJ setup for gigs. While I've been looking at the Rodecaster pro 2 for livestreams and YT talking head videos, the Mackie DLZ Creator just came into my view and was just curious how it worked for you compared to the Rode.

@SirCottiOfficial 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for making this, with the GoXLR no longer having support ive been keeping an eye out for a replacement when they are inevitably rendered useless

@AnthonyGoodley 10 месяцев назад

The GoXLR lives on with unofficial / Officialish 3rd party support. They recently even added Mac support which TC Helicon never did. So I wouldn't be so quick to throw in the towel on the GoXLR. Besides it just works without issues. Personally I'll stick with the official software as long as it works. Then switch over to the 3rd party software only when needed long before I'd give Rode a dime.

@NasDa 10 месяцев назад

If you are looking for a GoXLR alternative, DON'T BUY RCP2. For one thing, in GoXLR you get 5-7 channels right? In RCP2, you only have 3 channels, so for your mic, discord and system sound and that's it. If you want another channel for your spotify, you can't. And you need to connect two type-c cables to your computer cos 1st cable give you two channels and 2nd one gives you the 3rd channel. If you love the routing table of goxlr and gives it 10, RCP2's routing table scroes 2. It sucks so much.

So this may be a stupid question, but I haven’t been able to get a definitive answer from anyone. With the either, can you set each fader to be something different from the PC like the Elgato wave? Like will it detect a capture card? I do mostly console streaming but also do a podcast and I’ve been waiting for something like this to come along. Right now I have pc, capture card, music, discord, and mic with the appropriate sub mixes. Will either be able to do the same?

@cyberdefenseddi 10 месяцев назад

I’m using all the new RØDE gear rcp2, duo and the streamer X. All good and work perfectly for my purposes. I especially like dual USB ports since I bring in secondary audio into my stream or while I’m working, I can bring in audio / through remote sharing to my second MacBook Pro m2 and not have it go out to my main stream. I have it on my third 4k monitor up in to a small part of the corner. Little hard to explain in works vs visually 😎

@ethanhedden9896 6 месяцев назад

I really like the increased number of faders, 1/4 inch line inputs, and processing on the Mackie, but the dual USB-C ports for a 2 computer setup is just so clutch on the Rode! If Mackie comes out with a 2nd gen that adds another USB port for a 2nd computer like Rode did then that would be a game changer.

@creativegreatsvisuals 5 месяцев назад

Why would someone want 2 computers hooked up to these devices? I’m new to podcast arena

@grrttshw 2 месяца назад

@@creativegreatsvisuals the biggest one i can think of are streaming scenarios examples: Gaming live streamers often run 2 machines, one for the game and the second to capture the gameplay and manage all the inputs, alerts, and the streaming upload itself - this is to take the process lift off of the gaming PC so you have the highest performance possible. Second / Podcast scenarior is that you've got a podcast host with a laptop running a slide deck or pulling up audio on the fly, and a show manager - think Joe Rogan's Jamie - that can pull up content, manage stuff going on and recording. This way both people can connect and manage audio if necessary. It's not a MUST have, but it is pretty nice to have available.

@rami.tick.official 2 месяца назад

No solution,Mackie support ignoring questions about it. The Mackie system is built on fat32 which is outdated and doesn't support large files (over 2gb in this case) so all your recording split up. The other major problem is the lack of timestamps

@ndguardian 10 месяцев назад

I can chime in a little bit here as someone who owns both the Mackie DLZ Creator and the Rodecaster Duo. Both are fantastic and seem to be excellent for anyone who wants a hardware recording solution. I had gotten the Duo first to use in a dual PC streaming setup. USB 1 is connected to the gaming PC, while USB 2 is connected to my streaming PC. It allows me to easily capture multitrack audio for post-production audio correction, while still being able to live stream with the audio I've got. The Mackie is for a set of RU-vid videos I am going to be doing on the basics of music production. I had considered the RCP2 for it, but the increased inputs seemed like a no-brainer for me. I had also considered getting one of the Zoom Livetrak mixers for it, but figured the ease of use in terms of automix + the "listen and set levels for me" feature might make setup for different videos that much more streamlined. Anyway, just my input on the conversation.

@creativegreatsvisuals 5 месяцев назад

Why does a person need to plug in device to two computers to capture audio in post ? Can you be more specific about the advantages of this with the rcp2 ?

@SyK0oKRow 8 месяцев назад

I currently have my GoXLR routed through my Focusrite 2i2. I want to replace this set up with a Mackie so I have enough inputs for 2 guitars and 2 mics maybe, I also think getting this would make being able to stream Neural DSP Archetypes just straight to a stream instead of having to run Reaper into OBS then through the stream. I'm hoping it will be Archetype then Stream. I also need something to push my RP8 Monitors, as a musician I love having full control of the audio. But as a bad friend I like being able to set up sounds and stream them from my phone.

Do either of these have digital input/output for each channel within windows sound settings? Or is it only a mix from the device into the PC? That's the single most important thing for me.

@redjrjames 10 месяцев назад

I don't know about Mackie, I own the rodecaster pro 2.. But yes it does have digital inputs and outputs to computers. The usb c ports on the rodecaster pro 2 are 2 way channels, that you have full individual channels routing and volume control over. Plus the primary usb port on the rodecaster has another 2 way channel. In otherwords if you need to, you can have a total of 3 inputs and outputs into 1 computer with 2 usb c cables. Personally, I use 2 of those channels for sub mixes for streaming, one is what twitch/youtube hears and the other is what I record on obs that doesn't have music and some sound effects. The 3rd channel I just run my mic through for discord/zoom etc

@@michaelj.4187 I'm well aware that you can use external software to do it. However given the power of the device it SHOULD be native to the device that I can separate gain the USB Audio out. Very annoying.

I was so close to buying the RCP2 but, although they have been claiming to be working on it, their lack of virtual cables to assign to any audio source was a deal breaker.

Just got a channel idea.... ASMR "the peel" I have the og GoXLR + RE20 as my main desk mic. I have been eyeing the RCP2 as I'd like the idea of having all my mic hook up at once. I do not stream, but I do presentations and stuff for work. I currently have a insta360 link on my desktop for at desk meetings with the re20 I have a rode NTG2 and a boom mic pointed at a rolling blue board in front of a 24ft wide drop green screen. This has 2x black magic pocket 4k cameras each feeding hdmi to sdi12g converts into a ultimatte 12 4k > web presenter 4k to my PC. One camera is on a custom 3d printed 2 axis 8ft slider the other is fixed everything happens on blue and green screens. Absolutely stupid overkill for doing work presentations and learning content. But I'm like gear

Rode streamer X review please 🙏. I want to see your opinion on it. As i am this close 🤏 to get one. Capture card with interface combo is so sleek and enticing

@VinoSayySoo 10 месяцев назад

Bro I have the duo and the stream x. Tbh you only need one or the other but since your talking about video the streamer x is super clutch you can run it with your console and pc at the same time or dual pc as well. I’m using my second streamer x on my 2nd ps5 digital and streaming rig it’s works perfectly fine unless you want to use unify with a Mac they haven’t released the software for Mac but you can still you it just won’t have full control without the software and the voice changer works to perfection live in game

@@VinoSayySoo Awesome, I still wish harris does a video on it. But I am going to have a very simple streaming setup without consoles or 2nd pc. Just a fancy Mirroless cam and a good XLR mic into 1 streamlined sleek unit is a dream to me. Instead of using an interface and elgato capture card and other stuff

Both of these would be highly compelling for a high end stream setup... If they had the virtual audio inputs/outputs, like Elgato Wave Link, Beacn, or the GoXLR.

@JesusLovecraft 10 месяцев назад

Could you maybe dedicate a video to implementation of superchats on RU-vid? Most people who do podcasts and liveshows use Streamyard and similar stuff. I use OBS and have a 2 screen setup and as a gamer I have no idea how to play a game and then highlight an incoming superchat without Alt+Tabbing the game (unless it's borderless fullscreen). This really boggles my mind and I can't find any satisfying video about it. I wish I could just use my tablet, completely dedicated to managing the chat somehow. If you run out of ideas, this would be a great topic and as I said, barely anyone on RU-vid (of all places) talks about putting superchats on screen. It's the main incentive to superchat!

In elgato wave link softwere or goxlr or BEACN, you can have 6-9 channels for your mic, your game, system sound, browser and spotify etc. In RCP2, you only have 3 channels and you need to plugin both of the type-c lines as 1st one gives 2 channels and 2nd one give you one. Comparing to the routing tables in goxlr and BEACN the RCP2 one is a joke and one of the most confusing thing I've ever used. RCP2 is for podcasters or music content creators, not for streamers, especially those who are used to goxlr, elgato and beacn. That's why RODE released streamer X later.
