I am so glad that there are all of these videos but not a single video shows us what software to use and how. Everyone just talks about gain levels and calls it a day. I am completely new to the scene. Bought a rode podmic, a focusrite scarlett solo 3rd gen and currently have zero idea how to use them. I have been browsing for 5 hours and I still have no clue.

This was FAN-F'ing-TASTIC! I bought this mic thinking I'd come back to the studio and plug it into my PC and go... 17 minutes later, I know exactly what to do. Many thanks.

I am a professional in video and photo, but when it comes to audio, I am a total novice. I recently bought the Podmic and just waiting on my Wave XLR to arrive. This video has helped me out so much, so thank you for this!

[KunalRajputStudio]

By far one of the best videos that explains everything so clearly, thanks for putting it up!

[jenmovies]

The relief I felt when you put the pop sock on. haha Thanks for a great tutorial!

[WECHEWGOOD]

This was a really helpful guide on the rode pod mike, thank you.. But i am having problems while using Zoom H8 recorder to record a podcast with the Rode pod mike. am getting a lot of background noises what should I do?

[coldshot]

Wow, bro thx for this video it just answered all the questions I had within this video. Very good information for someone like me with no knowledge of how audio works.

Hello, what is the name of the software that you can see what dB is your mic on the minute 11:25

[CorazonesGemelos]

Hello. What program can I use on my computer to configure the audio coming from an M-Audio M-Track Duo sound interface using a Rode Podmic microphone? (For reaction videos)

[nigeldwalsh]

Really great video thanks. Any reason why you wouldn't use a XLR to USB-C cable direct to your Mac?

[dreadloresystem]

Thanks, sir. I really dig the PodMic but have noticed that it's super *breathy*. Thanks for the heads up (and link) for the pop filter!

The PodMic USB can directly connect to computer, iPad and phone.
But cost more than the standard PodMic.

So I took the USB version since I have no experience with the other devices and audio in general😅

What software were you using when addy bright, radio, etc?

[criticadeepoca]

Do you recomend using a fethead with the RODECaster Pro I ? I think it sounds better with a booster but I would like your opinion. Great videos by the way. Greetings from Mexico.

[danielrohregger]

I have the pod mic and the podcaster but I am still not happy with the sound. What can I do? Does it all needs to be done in post?

[swiftcolin]

I have the Rode PodMic and the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1, I seem to only get a signal and sound through my headphones when I turn the gain to full on the audio interface, any tips to fix this?

[nordlightlive]

Hello
Can I use Rode podmic for singing?
Or maybe I need to choose Sm58 / Sm57.
And I also want to record my ukulele.

So which microphone is the best for me?

How did you create custom Rode PSA1+ arm covers?
