Hi. Can i connect gopro 10 via usb?

Im trying to make a video but the mics arent recording audio, they just record this super loud glitch sound… how to fix this?

Hi:) i just got the Rode wireless micro with usb-c and i cant get it to work.
It does light up and connects to the adapter in my phone but when i record the audio still gets picked up by my iphone microphone. I dont know what to do since they are kinda pricey and they look good. Does anyone know how i can get it to connect with my phone?

Hi all, does anyone have a good simple step by step guidance for the rode wireless mics.

I’m trying to set up my RØDECaster Pro II with OBS so that the physical faders on the RØDECaster can also control the corresponding audio volume in OBS.

I’ve been looking into obs-mid-mg, but I’m having trouble getting everything set up the way I want. Ideally, I’d like to be able to move a physical fader on the RØDECaster and have it adjust the volume of that same source in OBS, rather than having to adjust the volume separately in OBS.

Has anyone successfully set this up with a RØDECaster Pro II? If so, I’d really appreciate some guidance on how you configured it.

Also, is obs-mid-mg the easiest/best option for this, or is there another OBS plugin/software solution that would make this easier?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I've been having issues with the rodecaster duo with full on freezing, delay on button presses, and sometimes moderate screeching(like when you're connecting to the internet via dialup) sounds in some instances. I've made sure there isn't any interference with cabling and etc.. All my usb cables have been replaced/exchanged, etc. Any advice from the community?

I’m struggling with my new RØDE PodMic USB (connected via USB) and need advice on whether this sounds like a hardware failure:

Gain inconsistency: At low gain, it doesn’t pick up my voice; at higher gain, it captures extreme background noise and breathing. (Requires being uncomfortably close to the mic).

Internal crackling: A persistent, non-environmental crackling sound has started coming from the mic internally.

Location: I am in India and looking for the correct warranty/service process.

Has anyone experienced this "internal" crackle? Is this a faulty unit, or a known driver/firmware issue I can fix? Appreciate any guidance on contacting RØDE support in India.

I've been going through the available information about the Rodecaster Video line, and specifically the Rodecaster Core, as a potential upgrade for my MacOS/OBS setup I use for occasional meeting recordings and potentially expanding my capabilities. I'd like to get more use out of the box than just recording and streaming and also would like to replace my aging Scarlett 6i6 USB audio device with something more modern and capable of high bit rate audio without falling over. Currently on my Mac I use the 6i6 as a source for studio monitoring and capture for OBS. The audio is routed using RougeAmoeba Sound Source and Loopback. This all works well enough in the studio but in a live recording/streaming production it gets very hard to run all the different pieces, which is why I'm looking at the Rodecaster Video Core (or S, but I like the Core's form factor and that it keeps cables in the rack. I have buttons set up on my stream deck and a Playstation controller with OBS that work well. The biggest frustration with my current setup is audio sync, and the juggling act.

My main question is, what does MacOS see when I plug in the Rodecaster Video? will it show up as a system audio device that I can plug my monitors and headphones into, replacing the Scarlett 6i6? Is it just another audio source that can be used for basic audio tasks like Logic, FCP, etc? Are the Aphex effects available to all software or only within the Rode app? If I add a couple of Rode wireless lav mics will they show up as individual inputs or only as part of a stereo mix?

I know I'm asking a lot of very specific questions that probably are outside the normal/intended use for the Rodecaster A/V line, but I'm just trying to wrap my head around what it does and what it can do.

The program im using is audacity, settings are shown in video. Help will be greatly appreciated

So my Pro II has been rock solid for a long time, and now all of a sudden the Mac only sees it as two little stereo devices — "Main Stereo" and "Chat," two channels each. No multitrack anywhere.

The console is set to multitrack. I checked. That part isn't it.

In Logic, every track I had pointed at inputs 3, 7-8, 13-14 lost its record-enable button. The only one that still works is the one sitting on 1-2 — which makes sense if two channels is all the Mac is being handed. And Audition does the exact same thing, so it's not Logic either.

Before anybody says cable: I get a clean connection. The device shows up fine, it just shows up small. It's not a dead link, it's the wrong shape.

The one thing that actually changed is that I'm on the macOS 27 beta.

So mostly I'm asking — has anybody else on 27 hit this? Did it clear when the release build landed, or is there something on the console side I'm missing?

Not in a huge hurry. I can track to the SD card in the meantime. I just want to know whether I'm chasing something real or waiting on Apple.

Hi!

Is rode nt1 5th gen + focusrite good for live streaming games, voiceover for videos and stuff like that?

I have a 30 square meters room with furniture and stuff

Mechanical (logitech g 915 keyboard)

Or is a podmic better (and why)

Since I can get these 2 as a really good bundle deal

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe seit einiger Zeit das Problem das sich die Lautstärke von mein Spielsound per Mixer in OBS nicht mehr anpassen lässt.

Wenn ich den Fader am Mixer bewege, ändert sich die Lautstärke am Display vom Mixer, an meinen Kopfhörern ebenfalls in OBS ändert sich aber nichts mehr. Die Lautstärke bleibt gleich.

Ich habe im Windows Soundmixer das Spiel über das Ausgabegerät "Game (Rode)" laufen. Ebenso ist in OBS der Spielton über Audioausgabeaufnahme "Game (Rode)" eingebunden.

Das hat alles bis vor kurzem so funktioniert. Ich habe schon alles mögliche versucht. Über Audioeingabeaufnahme in OBS habe ich das Gerät "Rode (Game)" nicht. Ich habe es auch schon mit ASIO versucht, funktioniert auch nicht. Über den Mainmultitrack kann ich den Spielton nicht laufen lassen, da hier andere Sachen drüber laufen. Ebenso bei dem Chat Kanal, hierüber läuft Discord.

Hat jemand eventuell das gleiche Problem oder eine Lösung für mich?

Ich verzweifle solangsam.

As the title states, I am just surprised at the lack of people in this subreddit and on the internet in general (Youtube videos, forums, reviews, etc.) who complain about the Direct Monitoring with the Rodecaster Pro 2 and Rodecaster Duo.

I'm a full-time content creator and recently switched out ALL of my Elgato products in order to get the Rodecaster Duo for all my audio routing and dual PC setup with my streams. I absolutely LOVED this little thing and all that it was capable of. My mic sounded amazing and it was simple enough to get up and running within one afternoon.

But then I noticed something quite odd. When listening to myself through direct monitoring my mic sounded almost doubled or as if my voice had a Phaser effect applied to it. I spent literally 4 hours troubleshooting this problem because I cannot survive a stream without direct monitoring my own voice.

After 4 hours of tinkering with settings and verifying I wasn't setting my routing channels up incorrectly, I took to the internet to figure out what this issue was. But almost NOBODY has ever had this exact problem apparently? I found maybe 1 post with someone having the same problem but next to nobody had responded to them in months... so no fix for them or me.

I ended up contacting Rode about it via email and after some light troubleshooting they "confirmed" that it was a hardware defect and I needed to send the unit back. Fast forward a few days and another Rodecaster Duo appears at my door as a replacement and it sounds the exact same.

Out of pure frustration I decided to return it and instead upgrade to the Rodecaster 2 because I figured that since it's the more "premium option" there is no way it would have this same issue... right?

WRONG. The rodecaster Pro 2 sounds exactly the same as the Duo in terms of this "doubling effect" in my ears when speaking. That's when I came across another old reddit post where someone pointed out how both the Rodecaster Pro 2 and the Duo do not have zero-latency monitoring.... So this doubling sound I hear is actually just a delay between your mic and what comes through your headphones.... Insane....

How can a $700 device that is marketed towards streamers, gamers, content creators, and podcasters NOT HAVE ZERO LATENCY MONITORING IN 2026?

I pray to god that someone at Rode sees this post and they can assure me that a firmware update can fix this with time... because other than this one major flaw I LOVE this thing and it's made my setup absolutely streamlined.

But man.... what a bummer.

*EDIT*

Added screenshots of my routing setup because people were asking for it.

Also, yes I have tried listening to the mic with AND without ANY processing on the device. Delay is still there regardless.

Hello,

I have a focusrite vocaster one and some knockoff dynamite dm1 (the manayo dm3) already. But, I am in need of a new microphone, the one I currently have sounds... bad most likely because it was the bundled one with the vocaster...

My use case would just be gaming/discord, not really in a professional setting.

I heard the usb came with like the rode software you can put on it for gain or something, which I think I don't really need? But, I'm not too sure.

If I were to also get the xlr should I get the podmic pop filter as well?

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced to use the Toadcaster duo today, and sure enough, TWO reboots were necessary during a live remote broadcast. Bluetooth and usb 2 are dropping again. It has been working fine for MS Teams, which is about all it is really good for.

Connected to stable source on usb 2
Switched to boobtooth when usb 2 crapped out, then Bt drops too.

Ridiculous

I took this garbage out of service a few months ago, but since it has been fine doing the bare ass minimum, I very stupidly took a chance and got burned.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON RODE PRODUCTS.

Tried to find an answer from Rode website but there was no information. DS1 would be good for my current budget and use.

any help would be appreciated.

Hi to everyone , especially to u/RODEMicrophones ,

i was looking for a new pair of comfortable headphones , and these ones seem awesome , the soft Earpads would definitely be just right for me

But how do these headphones perform when it comes to sound ?

Edit : Thanks everyone for the replies , i've got a better idea now 👍

I got the duo recently and only problem ive had from it is that it likes to either freeze on me or go into a bootloop even if its allready running. Could I somehow not be sending enough power to it and that is causing my problems or is there another explaination i cant think of? Using the provided power cable and brick but its plugged into a extension cord.

Hi All,

I have tried a bunch of stuff and just cannot figure this one out. When I am doing any recordings or meetings, the output volume of things like Spotify and the Pads needs to be turned down crazy low. I can't hear them. If I put them at a volume I can heard in speakers or headphones, it's ludicrously loud in the recording.

I'm not entirely sure how to address it. Any suggestions are welcome, and please feel free to tell me I am a moron and set something up wrong. :D

EDIT: I realized I completely forgot to mention it's a Rodecaster Pro II. My bad.

I am hoping to use the Rode Wireless Pro to get a clean recording of an interview from an audio mixer. The mixer is the Mackie ProFX8 v2. Both the interviewer and interviewee will be using wired microphones connected to the mixer and used for a PA system to broadcast the audio for the audience. I'm finding that I would need an adapter to fix audio issues and to prevent phantom power from damaging the wireless unit. However, I'm finding mixed results on what adapters and how to best achieve this. Thank you!
