Nice addition for existing and future NT-USB Mini owners...and the price is hard to beat!

[CheqkoO]

Honestly as the updates come out I understand why creators love Rode so much!!! 🙏🏼

[bnaqua]

I'm loving the RODE Connect built in effects. They make it so easy to record magical sounding voiceovers and podcasts with minimal post production. Well done RODE!

[AdamBA]

This is great! Would love to see the Connect software work with all of your USB-connected devices, especially the VideomicNTG and Wireless Go II as they are useful for those of us who don't like to have a mic in frame.

Ryan is back! YAY!
Oh, also an amazing new feature!

Just bought a Rode NT USB mini a couple of months ago. This is my biggest investment for audio. Upgraded from Boya Lav mic. Happy to hear about the software.

[epambos]

As an owner of the NT USB Mini I applaud Rode for this application and adding "new" features to released hardware... Well Done!

[GeertDelmulle]

You guys are KILLING it! Your business model, vision and strategy are awesome!

[charlieflxl]

This software is an absolute lifesaver for recording my classes and own mic input... It completely simplifies all my audio routing from Blackhole and a plus it enables noise gate... Thank you for making my initial investment worth while even more!

[Modern_NostalgiaEnt]

This was an amazing invention, the easiest way to podcast is here!! The reason my podcast is starting to be amazing. Thank you Rode!

[pixifystudio]

Sweet! This piece of software managed to get my NT USB-Mini to make friends with Microsoft Teams! Using the Stream Input (Röde Connect) as Microphone input Microsoft Teams (and Röde System Output) as speaker, now I get to control the microphone volume through Connect (instead of Teams auto-adjustments), and I can even mix in some sound effects / music when the meetings become too boring :) Many thanks from Sweden!

[PodcastMeister]

You guys have just crashed into being the hands-down most cost effective quality solution for multitrack(!) -recording a podcast with 1-4 people present + 0-1 remote guest. Congratulations! (before Rode Connect you had to use software like Pamela Professional or Call Recorder or Audio Hijack). The ease of use, effects, looks and the distribution optimizer a‘la Rodecaster as the cherry on top makes this solution quite unbeatable.

Røde should open this application to other Røde USB Microphones, like the Røde NT-USB or Røde Podcaster.

[DMProductions]

Wow Awesome Update ! Love my nt-usb and now even better

[syncurmind]

When can we use VideMic NTG with road connect?

[rogeriogomesosorio]

Amazing. You guys keep showing why you are one of the best companies out there.

[AnatolMenke]

Ryan here! :) love the series. You guys really are getting the needs at this current time! Awesome new feature to improve the NT USB Mini. Cheers

[jayzah]

Such a great mic that's definately worth the price I paid. Definitely has the potential to be the absolute go to for streamers if the software had more virtual channels and a way to adujust the channels audio levels for both the stream and and myself similar to what elgato does with wave link, almost perfect guys!

[keplers_dog]

That’s exactly what the market needs. Great, you guys are on a roll!!

[smydie]

Great to see
Thanks Rode I’ll be downloading it today, it’ll help my channel get off to a good start
