There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
And while it clearly has the onboard ability to process audio, it falls short on a critical function that would take it to the next level: EQ. I assume in an attempt to make it very user friendly, deep, medium, high voice or soft, medium, strong tone/strength settings are a good first start, but not having the basic three frequency (12kHz, 2.5kHz, 80Hz), even as an advanced menu, is disappointing. They have such a beautiful touch screen to implement it on.
I don’t use a rode mic (had an existing supply of heil PR40s that sound phenomenal with a mackie mixer) and so I’ll be forced to address it in post. Most might do that anyway, but this could be a great on the run solution and good enough with some simple advanced tweaks. I’d like to try a Rode mic at some point as I assume their presets are fine tuned. I suspect the voice strength relates to initial level or perhaps noise gate, but not sure. The noise gate is a little harsh, but I can understand why they don’t have a release setting. I hope they add it.
Would I recommend getting this? Yes. I think it has an amazing potential and I’m not sure why this feature set isn’t built into more entry level mixers. They nailed it and sold me. I just need to figure out how to navigate the mic and it may mean more time in Logic/post, which I hoped I could skip most of the time. As budget and time allows, I may test with Rode microphone and report an update and give more stars. I’m hoping some of these features are added the way they added multitrack before I purchased. It was the higher priority and at least gives a workaround.
UPDATE: 4-15-20 - 5 stars
After 7 months using the Rodecaster Pro I am updating to 5 stars with the release of Version 2.1 Public Beta. We have produced 26 episodes of Science and Saucery podcast now along with many other audio programs and I kept an open mind the entire time. It's really been easy to use and post processing in logic has be easy once the show template project was tweaked and finished. We've used all the channels and from phone integration to multitrack input, this thing has been a workhorse with no downtime.
After just an hour on the new software, which addressed all the issues I had by adding controls for the onboard compressor, noise gate, de-esser, aphex processors (aural exciter/Big bottom), and low pass filter. They also added reverb, which I don't need, but perhaps they will continue to add other audio features in the future. The new dBFS with peak hold monitors are also really nice. There is an overdub mode for existing recordings, but this isn't something I need. I expect some will like it. The record now allows select pre/post fader record. I wish it would record both of these at the same time as all my workflow is set up for pre fader record.
Hope to update again after some solid working time. It's beta, so I expect some bugs, but I am willing to accept that and extremely happy that Rode has continued to improve this product.
The sound quality? Exceptional. It brings a level of professionalism to my podcasts that I didn’t even know I was missing. The preamps are clean, and the audio processing features save me hours of post-editing. The pads for sound effects and jingles are not only fun but add a dynamic layer to the recording process.
Also, the Bluetooth connectivity feature is a lifesaver for including phone calls seamlessly into the podcast. All these features packed into a compact, stylish piece of tech that fits perfectly on my desk.
For anyone serious about podcasting, the Rode RODECaster Pro is a no-brainer investment. It's changed my podcasting game for the better!
So I bit the bullet, blew my budget and bought the RODECaster Pro. I sure am glad I did. It's an amazing piece of equipment worth every penny, and I'm only beginning to get into tweaking the settings to get the best sound. It works great right out of the box, but spend a little time on YouTube learning about the extensive featureset and how to tweak the settings and this boy sings! It's overkill for my application, but it's elevated the production value of my meetings and I constantly get compliments on the sound.
There are presets for RODE mics but also generic settings for dynamic and condenser. Plus there are over a dozen settings to tweak the compression and audio dynamics of the sound. It works great with a Sure SM7b, no Cloudlifter needed.
Setup was easy and straightforward. Just plug it into your PC and it's automatically recognized. No drivers needed. Definitely worth the price of admission. Highly recommend.

Also, many YouTube chans were avail to help me tweak the voice and audio settings. The main issue I was worried about was the Mix Minus feature. And OMG it worked like a charm. What that feature does, it stops the output audio of the callers going back to them causing echoes on their voice.
Another feature I like it that you can dim all buttons. The new set up that I'm using is a Long & McQuade Mic Boom Stand, a Shure SM58 mic and my old DJ AKG K77 Headphones. Not only can I really hear all callers, but they all tell me I should be in radio as the audio of my voice sounds amazing!
I should point out that I have disabled the record feature as it's against the law to record calls coming in. That's one feature I do not require in a home call centre. Same with the 8 effect pads on the right side. I have disabled them as well. My main purpose was to use the Rodecaster as a mixer with audio adjustments to fix poor sound.
Thanks Amazon for the quick delivery as it was within 2 day shipping for prime members. I now look forward to going to work everyday as I use to have issues hearing the customers. Rodecaster Pro was a great buy!
Jest jednak pewien problem - na 99% pochodzi ze zwrotu.
W środku opakowania było rozdarcie, które świadczy o tym, że ktoś je wcześniej otworzył.
Dodatkowo brakuje plastikowej osłonki na jeden suwak, co widać na zdjęciu.
Przy zakupie sprzętu za taką kwotę oczekiwałem PRZYNAJMNIEJ kompletności.
Liczę na to, że sprzedawca coś z tym zrobi.
