RODEMic

I bought this mic and started second guessing if I made the right decision. Wondering if I should exchange it for the Shure 7. But after this I feel soooo much better. I just love this mic I love the feel of it the weight the look. I feel much better. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I would recommend using Samson MBA series of boom arm instead of Rode one. It costs literally same but supports up to 2.3kg of weight. I used MBA48 in the past for particulary Procaster installed inside PSM1 for more than year. It kept position perfectly and it never let me down.
Now, due to some work space reorganization I have switched to MBA18 insdead and re-used MBA48 as a LED key light holder.
Also regading XLR Mixer - imo, RodeCaster Pro is extream overkill for streaming purposes or small utube channel. GoXLR Mini will be much more cheaper and will have pretty much everything needed for this microphone works right, including gates, compressor and additional gain without additional cloudlifter.
And the last one. Rode Procaster - is one of the best dinamic microphones for streaming and podcasting in non-specially treated environments, it does not require sound proofed studio to work great. Obviously it will not help on construction ground or having constantly screaming child on your lap, but it is good enough to isolate a passing by car, a washing machine and fridge in same room with computer.

Can you please tell me what app/prog you use for the pink arrows to point to certain details during this video?

[PeterAlanJohnson]

Listening on AirPods, I'm hearing what I regard as an unacceptable amount of hiss with every word you say (for example between 3 minutes to 6 - I'm hearing the noise gate pumping). Is this due to using the mic further away than many people do? 

Is this fan noise in your room? If that case you need to place your PC further away and use the mic closer.

Gotta love a guy that test a Mike and says “do you hear that ?” I go “No cos your background music drowned out whatever you were trying to show!”

[NazarethHill]

Bruv, love your setup and I am buying this in 2024

Who the F*** Puts music over a microphone test

[TALKCalgary]

Audio is coming across very clipped and distorted with a nasally sound. Do you feel this due to the DAC on on the Procaster or is it onboard signal processing? What are the supported file file formats on this unit?

[OskarSvan]

Ive heard 2 people say you can kill people with this mic.. is this a common thing?

[fastandcurious]

Please don't use WD-40 for the microphone arm as it is a solvent not a lubricant.

Instead use some fine oil, like liquid paraffin mineral oil used for precision machines like sewing machines, guns, Swiss army knifes or even bicycles. Something like Ballistol, Victorinox Oil or Prym Oil.
Or some dry graphite lubricant...

Can you mute yourself & how? I feel like that's such an elementary question, but my current mic has a touch mute on the mic itself.

[jhowie]

is this fine with just a Rode AI-1 audio interface alone?

[christiaannienkemper]

Will the Rode procaster microphone work on a Scarlett vocaster?

[irah_tv]

I have read that the focusrite scarlett 2i2 3rd gen doesn't have enough gain for the rode podcaster. Do you or anyone know a decent that's $120-$140 mixer that has enough gain so I don't need a cloud lifter?

[JohnAllen-ggoz]

So how do you switch the switchable hi-pass

[MrbackFX]

Are there other mixers that work well with the procaster? I like the sound of the processing but 600 bucks is a bit much, are there cheaper alternatives or is this something you can do with software aswell? I will mainly use the mic for gaming, team meetings, school work and sometimes voice overs for school projects.

[nicolascervantesbernal]

whats happen with translation, who changed it?

[arhauz]

nice video. can i possibly use rode podmic direct to a camera (XT3)?

[NormShaver]

Do you recommend getting a cloud lifer for this mic?

[markscarfe]

Is a Cloudlifter needed for the 2 audio mixer options?
