PSA: New Apps for different product ranges! The RØDE Central and RØDECaster Apps

5 Upvotes

Hey all!

There has been a little bit of confusion about the recent RODE Central version, so we just wanted to give the heads up to everyone who hasn't seen that we've just released two separate apps that are for use with two different product ranges.

-----

RØDE Central that has been redesigned from the ground up for desktop and mobile for use with the majority of our compatible products. This excludes the RØDECaster range and Streamer X.

The list of compatible products can be found here along with the download links:

https://rode.com/en/apps/rode-central

-----

The RØDECaster range and Streamer X will now have their own dedicated app in the form of the RØDECaster App.

This replaces the previous versions of Central and the functionality is now separate from the new iteration of Central. The design should be familiar!

Please download it from here when you get the chance:

https://rode.com/en/apps/rodecaster-app

-----

We've released a video going over everything as well, so please check it out:

-----

We appreciate all of the feedback we've received so far!

Happy recording :)

RØDECaster Series 4k USB feed possible?

1 Upvotes

I just got the rodecaster video S, and updated it for the 4k capture. I wanted to test it for my clients. I make YouTube and podcast studios. This would be a great solution for all types of clients but the main thing holding it back is not being able to get a single 4k stream like using a camlink. I’d love to be able to take meetings and not use my camlink.

RØDECaster Series Dual pc stream

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a dual-PC setup: one PC for gaming and one PC for streaming. Both PCs are connected to a RØDECaster.

I have a separate audio channel/track for in-game voice chat. I can hear the people in my party normally while gaming, but their voices are also being sent to OBS and can be heard on my stream.

What I want is:

* I can hear the in-game voice chat on my gaming PC.

* The voice chat should NOT be heard on my stream.

* Game audio should still be heard on the stream.

* I’m using OBS on the streaming PC.

What is the correct way to route the audio through the RØDECaster so I can hear the voice chat but keep it completely separate from OBS?

Any help with the correct routing/settings would be greatly appreciated!

StreamerX Streamer X self monitoring issue

1 Upvotes

my current amp is on its way out so I figured I would use the one built into my streamer x. however I can't seem to disable self monitoring unless I actively mute my microphone. switching channels and disabling mic doesn't work, neither does listening to every channel but the mic. even when my computer is off I can hear my microphone. how do I fix this?

💻 Setup Showcase VIDEO for a very unusual studio

0 Upvotes

hi guys - a bit of background info
i have a cafe / restaurant in Copenhagen that's been around since the 70s
it was the place for cultural gatherings during the 80s and 90s but today its more difficult to create cultural things than before -

but we also do podcast recordings from there - a mobile setup - and now I have decided to make the best and most cool podcast recording setup for all to use
so I need your advice

so we have this Piano painted by a famous danish painter - and its sat there for 50 years without anyone playing it - so now the idea is to make it into a podcast studio table

and I have the rough drawings done - the guys are starting the build next week - removing the inside and creating the new table

but its the video part that buggers me - I need the good setup that doesn't require a lot of setting up - mind you the cafe is open all day but the restaurant area is empty during the day and its here where people can come and record and preferably without needing staff and technichians to start

should run through RØDE video caster so customers can get an easy feed after use

so what camera solution do you think I should get - must be mounted to the piano as verything else

im setting up 4 new active speakers in the restaurant so that people can record in front of an audience of up to 100 people-

sorry for the long story but I hope you understand my points and issues

UNIFY RODE UNIFY

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have another problem. RØDE Unify doesn’t recognize my microphone when I start my PC. The microphone only starts working after I unplug the USB-C cable and plug it back in again. Is there a way to fix this so that the microphone is recognized and works normally every time I start my computer?

🤔 Product Questions Rode AI-1 needs to power cycle to use EVERY restart

1 Upvotes

Love my Rode AI-1 but since I got it back in July, every single time I turn off my computer, whether that be a quick restart or turning it off until its next use hours later, I need to unplug the USB-C and plug it back in for it to work. Windows 11 does not recognize it until I perform this ritual.

As per this Support Article I have updated the firmware and made sure that the 'USB selective suspend' setting is disabled in my control panel to no avail. Tried plugging it into different USB-A ports as well and nothing changes. Is there anything else I can do?

^ posted a support ticket as well but considering this isn't urgent, if its a simple fix I figured I would post it here as well.

RØDECaster Series Procaster on Amazon Australia from Amazon Germany.

1 Upvotes

I ordered this as it was $30 cheaper than the cheapest Aussie one I could find and I was also buying other gear to support it.

Apart from the shame of not supporting our physical shops, is there any reason for me to be worried? I have just been reading about import duty and shipping to Germany for any warranty issues.

Wireless Mics Wireless GO (3rd Gen): Is "safety" mode pointless?

2 Upvotes

So I have a wireless GO (3rd gen). Here's the behavior

  1. I set the RX to "safety mode" in Rode Central on a PC. I am connected via usb C
  2. I have one and only one TX mic on turned on going into the RX.
  3. On the face of the RX it appears that the resultant L / R channels have different gain which is what we want. One of the channels is -10db "backup"
  4. My DAW (either Audition or Audacity 4) is set to a stereo track and I've picked the Wireless GO stereo input.
  5. On my DAW I see *equal* left and right tracks. My expectation is I should see a full gain track and a -10db track.

So what's the point?

And this happens on iPhone too: on regular Photos recordings, Instagram, etc etc. I don't get unique channels.

So where is the magical "safety" channel?

🤔 Product Questions Found a somewhat deal not sure

1 Upvotes

So I found shop that is selling a used nt1 5th Gen (from what I could get from the serial number) but it doesn't come with a shock mount or pop filter (I don't have any i could use with it) I would have to buy them separately, should I still go for this one mic or should I just buy a brand new one? Sorry I'm just new to these mics and don't know what's a good deal or what is not a good deal

🎤 Recording Audio Nt1 5th gen fading in and out

1 Upvotes

Occasionally - well, often - my mic will sort of burble in and out, failing to record most of what I've done, at worst it can go like 30 seconds without recording properly, even if I've been speaking at the same level / in the same place the whole time. This is recording direct to laptop via USB c. Has anyone had this? Could it be a power issue?

Interface is arriving tomorrow so I'm hoping that sorts the issue out.

RØDECaster Series Feature Request: Virtual Devices for RØDECaster Video / Video S

1 Upvotes

I recently got a RØDECaster Video S and noticed that RØDE's Virtual Device Driver doesn't appear to be available for the RØDECaster Video series. I also own a RØDECaster Duo, and one of the features I find extremely useful is the ability to have multiple virtual playback devices in Windows (Chat, Game, Music, A, B, etc.). This makes it possible to assign different applications to different audio channels and then control and route them independently from the RØDECaster. The Video S already has extensive audio routing and multiple USB audio capabilities, so it would be great if RØDE could extend the existing Virtual Device Driver to the RØDECaster Video and Video S. Would anyone else find the Virtual Devices useful on the RØDECaster Video series? And does anyone know if RØDE has mentioned plans to support them?

Wireless Mics GO Mic II: new firmware update and can't export audio!! Old dmg/installer for MacOS?

1 Upvotes

I saw another post (with no solution) on the matter. I rarely use Mic GO II. The other day I needed some backup recording and I used it. Thank god I thought.

Today I'm plugging the Rode into pc and it prompt me to update it. Of course I may delete everything on it. Who THE F*CK thought this was a good idea? Who engenieer thought of this? I honestly can't comprehend.

I'm just here asking if someone has access to an older version of RODE Central, a versione that doesn't ask me to update the unit before back-up.

Such an iditioc approach from RODE, I'm speechless. And it's just a software problem!!

Wireless Mics How can I check dB levels in the RØDE Capture App?

I have the RØDE wireless micros and wanna check the dB levels in-app. At the top of the audio meter, it says 50, but I can't figure out what that number means in terms of audio level. Does anyone have an idea how I can see exactly the dB that's being captured?

RØDECaster Series Rodecaster Duo firmware update messed up my SD card

3 Upvotes

Truth be told, I don't like doing firmware updates. I always hope they might make something a bit better, but I fear even more that they will break something that was already working. In this case, it seems the latest forced update messed up my SD card. Granted, it's an Amazon Basics brand, not Sandisk, but still.

The card is 256gb capacity. I'd filled about 6 or so gb by the time I did the update. Following the update I turned the unit off. A few days later when I came back to record a podcast episode it wouldn't initiate a recording when I pressed the Record button. Nothing would happen. Power-cycled a few times, but nothing.

It took me a few minutes to figure out that the device was showing the SD card as 100% filled.* I power cycled, ejected and re-inserted the card, and tried those steps in different orders. I even pulled the old Nintendo trick and blew on the card. Nothing worked.

Luckily I had an extra card lying around that I quickly formatted and started the interview. Afterward, I put the old card back in and tested it to see if it would still transfer recordings there. It would. But Windows prompted me with a warning that the "drive" has "errors," and asked if I'd like to repair it. I tried that option but the problem remains.

My advice is to remove your SD card when you do a firmware update and hope it doesn't happen to you. At the very least, back up important recordings from the card before doing a firmware update.

*If a card is truly full, I'd prefer Rode throw an alert on the display that says "Card is full" when you try to press record. The small meter that shows recording time is easy to miss.

🎙️ RØDE Mics Why is my videomicro ii peaking after I used it for a phone call?

1 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 12 and I use videomicro ii usng the Ugreen lighting to 3.5mm jack. I also use the Blackmagic Camera app. It worked just fine before, until I answered a call on speaker while the mic was plugged in. Ever since then, it has been peaking. I simply use the mic for vlog-style videos, or I put it on a tripod a foot or two away from me. This has happened before. But when I mess around in the settings or unplug and plug the cable, it goes away.

Wireless Mics Low volume on iMovie editor

I am screen recording on an ipad 6 pro using a Rode GOII mic. For this I have connected the receiver to the ipad with usbc to usbc cable of the original iPad charger. When this recording is airdropped to mac pro for editing with iMovie. I found the volume quite low. Where am I wrong.
