- Prawn here with an in-depth look at the Rode Rodecaster Duo. Here I'm showing you everything from the basic setup to connecting Bluetooth devices, Wireless mics and tips on mix minus/custom routing settings to eliminate problems with mic feedback and more.
In this guide on the Rodecaster Duo I'm also showing you how to set it up for streaming in OBS and Streamlabs as well as extra tips on creating virtual audio channels that you can then use in OBS for multi-track audio. This means you can then use the Rodecaster Duo to capture multiple audio tracks for gaming tips and tricks videos (for example) while separating out the sound of your mic, the game audio and friends mics.

Always with the best set up videos...when I got my razer audio mixer last year I came here to set it up. Thanks for the content
That's very kind of you
Thanks - the best guide for the Rodecaster Duo!
thanks for the explanation and workarounds. . .. i want to separate tracks and control them individually and this piece of hardware feels like its not inclined to allow to do so. ... starting to think i need to return mine, really . ...
Upgrade I’d like is to be program pads to be 1,2,3&4. Using Switcher Studio, I can change cameras by tapping those keys on a Bluetooth keyboard or keypad.
Excellent video! I have the same setup but have a questions.... Rode has their own software Unify vs. Steel Series GG software.
Hey man!
First of all. Thank you so much for the video!
So here is the thing. I have just bought my self a Rodecaster Duo. And my stream-setup is a build with two computers.
Before i had a GOXL-Mini, I finally got it to work untill i realise the GOXLR series is dead...
So now to my question.
How will you hear from both computers? I also have a wireless headset like your self, a steelseries arctis pro. But with the black box :)
Im so confused :S
Cool trick for obs ! I'd like to know if there is a way to use the faders to change the volume on those separate tracks on obs too
For the moment i've got the discord, game and mic channels separated but the faders wont change the volumes in there
Would it be possible to have a stream mix/monitor mix? In the sense of if one were livestreaming, the stream would hear certain channels lower in a stream mix than the monitor mix
Have they added the goxlr sampler function yet so you can instant record what ever is playing then instant replay from a touch of a button 👍
Sadly not that I know of
You can just use the RCDuo chat mic to have only the mic, you don't need the second cable unless you stream from a dual PC setup which are becoming outdated due to much better GPUs
I'm having issues getting it to work with resolve. I've done everything in the video and clicked the duo Main in resolve settings. Any ideas ?
I tried searching everywhere, but does Rodecaster allow you to change the game or Discord audio on stream without impacting your own volume? For example, if viewers say that teammates or Discord users are too loud, I could adjust the slider to change the volume, but only for the stream and not myself?
im contemplating going with the duo or the go xlr, currently using streamer x
I would be wary of getting a go xlr, as they have laid off their team so the software is no longer getting updates. Because of this I got a duo and I recommend!
@Minaccino_ yeah I had heard that. But they pushed out a firmware update awhile back. So I'm not really sure what's going on
I went with the peace of mind that if any issue arise i wont have problems getting support.
This is a REALLY DETAILED guide. I'd like to ask an additional question. If I wanted to use the RODECaster Duo in FL Studio, input my microphone into that, and then send the output of FL Studio to say OBS, or anywhere, how would you go about doing that? I know ASIO Drivers can be a little picky, but you normally use ASIO drivers for DAWs. Could you either comment back with details, or maybe even make a guide on how to do it? I do a bit of Hybrid content creation, recording guitar/vocals in FL Studio and also recording all of that with OBS Studio with my camera. Please and thank you!
Damn, still no answer. The disrespect
@@mumblesthefireman496 I mean, I can't make them reply. They have to want to reply and hopefully have the answers.
@@Grid21 but a whole month. You’re probably just sitting waiting to use ya new rode caster and the only thing holding you back is this guy! And he’s just taking his sweet time🤬😡😡
Hello, I would like you to help me, Rodecaster Duo Speaker/Headphone audio only comes from left side when I connect it to the rear audio ports... it works perfectly only in the front, could you give me some advice...?
Thanks in advance
This review is really helpful, but I wonder if I can use my Corsair Virtuoso XT headphones with a usb-c connection. I can't really find anything online about if you can or can't..
Sadly I don't think there's a way to do that easily.
@@TheProvokedPrawn sadly i had a feeling you where going to say that. Thank you sir
Hi there , what cable do you use with the microphone?can i use XLR (F) - XLR (M)?
Yes it's an XLR cable
For apex legends in-game chat, would I choose caster duo main or caster duo chat? I was using chat but I heard it sounds horrible. If I choose main would they hear unwanted audio?
If you can choose then it should be chat, much like discord. It is sounded horrible was it because they were hearing themselves or the game audio too? If so then you need mix minus like I showed
I see you have the Nova pro wireless setup through the Duo. Can you setup the A50x through the Duo?
Yeah the logic would be the same
@@TheProvokedPrawnthank you for the fast reply. The A50x base doesn’t have a 3.5 aux to plug into the Duo so what would you use?
Excellent demonstration ,Clear and Presice , have you demode the Mackie Creator ds (small one )
cheers
keep up the good work you do its most appreciated
is it the same setup for rodecaster pro 2
Basically
can i pay you to help me set up my stream 1on1? serious question.
Sorry but that's not something I have time for.
£425+ for this and i can see the touch screen is lagging/slow
maybe, you have a fever?
