You have gained a subscriber. Because you saved me sending the microphone back. Only got it a few weeks ago and I was not there when it was delivered. So was setting it up late. THANKS a LOT...Thank God I found your channel...
Very helpful content. Thank you
the most complete video about it on youtube
Thank you, I appreciate that. ☀️
Thank you for explaining properly everything! great job!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
This video was AMAZINGLY helpful!!!! Thank you sooo much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
As always. Thanks for the good info.
I appreciate that ☺️.
very well explained. thanks mate!
Glad it helped!
Well made video. thanks buddy
Hello. Im CZcamsr from Japan. It was very helpful. thank you.
Thanks, I appreciate that. 👍
Namaste sir , Very helpful video sir, can you guide us . What should be the settings on the mic while shooting outdoors ? .. Buzzing sound coming a lot can you guide us sir ?
cool vid! I use my rode wGo2 to record external audio. I typically shoot 24fps films, but recently I shot a 30fps event and every 2min-ish I now experience audio drift. in the future how can i sync my wGo2 to my desired fps?
Thanks!
Thank you DJ Chester Chomp. I greatly appreciate your support 🌸.
Hello Chris, good video. I have wireless go 2 but I find the safety channel kind of useless. If the main channel clip, the safety channel would just be a low DB clipping. Almost like low the volume of a blow out sound in post.
Hello, the issue you are describing is a special case of clipping which the safety track can not fix: it's when the mic capsule itself is clipping. In that case the only thing you may be able to test to is to use the -20db Pad on the respective Transmitter/Microphone.
The safety track is more for those circumstances that the mic cain on your camera for example was set optimally but the signal got a bit more loud to clip that so you have the safety track.
so glad they fixed the export all this year.
I just got these and thought they sounded good but holy cats, the room noise. I haven't played with effects yet (and I mostly live stream) but what do you suggest? Thanks.
Hi Chris, great video. With safety channel enabled what happens when two TX are used? Can you still split the channels for both TX1 and TX 2 ?
When you use two TX units and the Safety Channel feature, then you will end up with both the TX signals mixed together into a mono track and that is recorded normal+lower volume.
But you still have the option to get the 24bit wav files from the TX units after you are finished recording. Which is actually worth it because the quality is indeed significantly better than the one that got transmitted wirelessly.
nice video sir from india
Thank you, I appreciate that.
The best description of RODE Wireless GO II thank you a lot!!!
You're welcome!
Hi, I am not getting the same settings in rode go 2 transmitters, what could be the reason.
Hi, thanks for the video! I am having a tech issue hopefully you can help me, I am trying to connect my rode wireless go ii to my fx3 sound bar (just got this camera). I can’t seem to hear anything out of the headphone’s when trying to monitor the sound. I have it connected to input 1 via the sound bar and the headphone into the 3.5 Jack, but no sound is coming out of the headphones. It shows that it is picking up sounds, but i can’t hear anything. I tried it on my a7siii and it works fine, so I don’t think it’s the rode, can you tell me what I am missing? Thanks!
Hi Chris! Thanks for video. What Gain Settings should we use in the range from 0 to -30dB? What does different dB mean for us? How Rode Gain settings correlates with in camera Rec.Level settings (Canon)? What is the perfect combination? Thanks!
There is not one perfect combination, it all depends on how your environment is and what you are planning to record.
Generally speaking, I tend to use the Wireless Go on the loudest setting and try to set the camera (also use Canon) as low as possible.
@@ChrisSpiegl I've done some more tests today, and I found that then you are doing back up recording on TX, the sound is different (in a good way) because it's not affected by Camera amp or by RX amp. Interesting..
@@SlavikKubikoff That's correct - it's great they added this. But when the settings are done well, it should sound at least pretty close.
excellent videos, congratulations.
I would like to ask if you know of any recent incompatibilities between Rode 2 and the new MacBook Pro v.12.0.1 update.
When I now try to view the files in Rode Central, the message THERE WAS AN ERROR MOUNTING MASS STORAGE appears.
If you can help, I appreciate it.
Thank you very much
I have not seen this error. I will check it out and see what happens when I use it next time.
Have you tried updating everything (Røde Central, the Røde Wireless Go II, and MacOS)?
I can't download from rode website for rode central windows. Please help
Please contact Røde support. Initial ideas: disable ad blocker and such things.
Great video. however, is there a way to delete the audio clips on rode central?
With the app you can delete them and I think also format the whole recorder. However, in a way, you don't really have to do that since it automatically deletes the oldest clips when the storage is full.
Hi Christ, I tried to do exactly whatever you do but my recorded came out with no sound. I just got my Rode go 2 about ten days. Please help. Thank you.
so the gain setting is just the level send to your camera? What do you do if the input from the mics is to loud on the receiver?
You can activate the pad on the transmitter - I think. That should be possible with the app on a mac or windows machine.
Is there a way to change the recording length? For example, we had two separate recordings today where each speaker spoke for approximately 45 minutes. When I connected the transmitter to the computer, Each speaker's recording was split between a 31 minute recording and then a 15 minute recording. Is there a way to set it to record longer than 31 minutes in a session? If you covered that in the video I missed it, I apologize
As far as I know, there is no setting to change this. However, you can just put the files right after and they should work perfectly. Alternatively you can use a tool like this to join the files: audio-joiner.com
Good
Thanks 👍.
I connected Rode mics for podcast. With Mevo cameras I am not able to bring the audio senitivity. I want to keep the audio to 1-2 feet only from mic. But it is picking 5 metre away audio. What am i supposed to fix here?
Which Mode do i use, if i only use one micro? merge or split?
When only using one, I’d either use merge or the safety track mode (in the latter you get one louder and one quieter side on the camera so you can switch in case the loud signal gets distorted).
Hello! why you recommend to turn off the safety channel when you are using both transmitters
I personally have the safety channel disabled. The reason is that it is only useful when you use the Rode Wireless Go II with one Transmitter and record that signal.
In all other cases it isn't much of a use.
When live streaming, you don't want the safety track, you want a mono signal. When using two transmitters I'd rather have both split (left & right) so I can mix them in post.
Those are my main reasons to have it disabled.
But, if you use this set mostly with one mic and you'd rather have the safety track, then it's very useful to activate the safety track.
I am using Rode Go 2 with Sony a6500. I am facing a problem, when I start recording the audio goes very high for 5 to 10 seconds, then it comes to normal... any idea what's wrong ?
Maybe you have the "auto gain" feature enabled in the Sony A6500? If so, switch it to manual gain and it should work as expected.
Please help me. When I update my Wireless Go 2 using Rode Central, all of my internal recorded files are erased. How can I download the files without Rode Central? Just doesn't work without update, and If I update it will delete my files. Thanks!
Hello does the Wireless GO (standard) can be connected to the RODE CENTRAL?
I have tried with the usb-a / usb-c cable that come with the Wireless Go but the Rode Central app show me this message: Please connect a RODE device to get started...
Is it wven possible to connect it?
Hi, the original / version 1 Wireless Go does not have any way to connect to Røde Central.
@@ChrisSpiegl really sad, they should make it possible 😢 what software you recommend when recording on PC?
Thank you
@@HamzaBlackbeard/videos I personally use Adobe Audition (crsp.li/AdobeAudition) but if I would not already use all the Adobe Products, I would check out Reaper (crsp.li/Reaper) as well as Audacity.
@@ChrisSpiegl thanks a lot for your kind answer and you have gained yourself a new subscriber ☺️👍
@@HamzaBlackbeard/videos Thanks, I appreciate that. Good luck finding a way that works for you 👍.
Ich glaube du hast gerade ein Problem gelöst. Ich nutze für meinen CZcams Kanal seit neustem das Rode Wireless Go 2 und habe die meiste Zeit, wenn ich keinen Gast habe bzw. nicht unterwegs bin logischerweise nur ein Mikrofon an und alles auf merged gestellt. Im Schnitt ist aber auf der Stereospur immer eine leiser als die andere gewesen, so wie du es jetzt erklärt hast ist das vermutlich die Backup Spur gewesen.
How can I use ONE MIC but record in MONO?
is this applicable on Rode Wireless Go I?
No, to my knowledge, the Røde Wireless Go I does not support this app system. With the original Go you only have the settings you can change on the device, that's it.
Sorry. But you forgot to mention LOUDNESS on the Transmitters.
Question(s). I'm overall super disappointed with my Rode 2, it sounds terrible. Don't know why. Was this video recorded with that because it sounds find and mine sound very very flat with too much treble? Do you have an idea what I can do? I have it on uncompressed. And have looked at many youtubers videos and haven't seen anyone really explain how to set the gain. . .what is the gain? Doesn't seem to make a difference as I change it. . . (?)
The video was probably recorded with my overhead mic aside form sound samples (but this video does not have those if I remember correctly). There are other videos on my channel where you can listen to the Røde Wireless Go 2.
In terms of sound: I think they work fine. I do prefer to use different kinds of lavalier mics on it and rarely if ever use the internal mic - though my girlfriend really enjoys the internal Wireless Go microphone.
In terms of gain: it's basically the volume setting in terms of how loud things should be recorded. You can either change it in 3 step increments or choose to set it up with the finer setting. I generally set the gain so that the meters on the receiver have the signal topping out in the yellow area.
Hi all, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I have one transmitter than seems way more sensitive than the other. Like holding them side by side, the levels look very different. And when I've recorded with others, sometimes, it sounds like one person is just short of a yell while the other person is nearly inaudible. Here's a picture of what I'm seeing.
I installed it no pad, no merge, no safety
Hi, I'd try to reset the devices and then see if that changes anything. As far as I am aware, you cannot change the Gain on the transmitters individually (only as one gain setting on the receiver going to your camera). If that does not work, please reach out to Røde support.
it doesnt delete old files when full it just stops recording. no more recording when is full. do not cycle record.
this mic is doing my head in ive pissed around with every setting and still! mostly coming out of left ear and not centered sound. there is slight sound in right but how the fuck is it auto set to more coming out of left? ive even plugged into pc and cant do shit. CORSE, FINE. MERGE, SINGLE. DB SETTINGS.still left ear mostly. i have it plugged into a go pro 10 and set it to POWERED MIC input. i use the media mod mic and it works fucking centered sound. like fucking normal mic should. its annoying me this is because everyday i go to work on my bike and do a test fucking footage and when i get home from work i test and listen and shit happens. again and again and again ive had this shit for over 3 weeks and still doing tests on it. its not the gopro its the mic. no one can help me.
