Customers appreciate the audio quality and features of the audio mixing console. They mention it's easy to add multiple sound effects and music beds on the hotkeys, with a recording interface and great audio control. They can call guests, use a sound pad, bring more fun to their work, and record audio to OBS or an onboard micro SD card, live-stream, add sounds from music, action background, and minimal noise. The volume and leveling are simple, and controlling various things at once and limiting what others hear is easy.

4 out of 5 stars
Ready to go, out of the box.
Box it came in had some light damage around the corners, but the quality of all the components came through as soon as you open it. Came with two power cables (one long, one short) that plug into the DC converter, so length isnt an issue. Buttons are bright, interface is responsive and easy to navigate and learn, and the setup and software installation is straightforward. It sounds exactly like what you'd want, and the gain is super clean as well. Supports my Shure SM7B without a cloud lifter and with minimal noise. This is the best out-of-the-box experience for consumer hardware I've had.That being said, one drawback I have so far is part of the screen. You'll see o still have my screen protector on, but the pixels on the left side seem to be damaged, giving some flickering. Hopefully this isnt showing an underlying issue where I'll have to get this RMA'd. 4 stars only because of that issue.

    I recently upgraded my podcast setup with the Rode RODECaster Pro, and wow, what a difference it makes! Straight out of the box, the setup was simple, with an intuitive interface that didn’t leave me scrambling through a manual. It feels sturdy and well-built, like it’s ready to handle countless recording sessions.

    The sound quality? Exceptional. It brings a level of professionalism to my podcasts that I didn’t even know I was missing. The preamps are clean, and the audio processing features save me hours of post-editing. The pads for sound effects and jingles are not only fun but add a dynamic layer to the recording process.

    Also, the Bluetooth connectivity feature is a lifesaver for including phone calls seamlessly into the podcast. All these features packed into a compact, stylish piece of tech that fits perfectly on my desk.

    For anyone serious about podcasting, the Rode RODECaster Pro is a no-brainer investment. It's changed my podcasting game for the better!

    Style: RCP II (2nd Gen)Verified Purchase
    I had high hopes for the the RODECaster Pro. It seemed like the Tricaster of audio. What I love: multi track w/polyewav files, one button Bluetooth, presets, USB in/out w/mixminus, 4x headphone amplifier, onboard SD record, soundFX banks...

    And while it clearly has the onboard ability to process audio, it falls short on a critical function that would take it to the next level: EQ. I assume in an attempt to make it very user friendly, deep, medium, high voice or soft, medium, strong tone/strength settings are a good first start, but not having the basic three frequency (12kHz, 2.5kHz, 80Hz), even as an advanced menu, is disappointing. They have such a beautiful touch screen to implement it on.

    I don’t use a rode mic (had an existing supply of heil PR40s that sound phenomenal with a mackie mixer) and so I’ll be forced to address it in post. Most might do that anyway, but this could be a great on the run solution and good enough with some simple advanced tweaks. I’d like to try a Rode mic at some point as I assume their presets are fine tuned. I suspect the voice strength relates to initial level or perhaps noise gate, but not sure. The noise gate is a little harsh, but I can understand why they don’t have a release setting. I hope they add it.

    Would I recommend getting this? Yes. I think it has an amazing potential and I’m not sure why this feature set isn’t built into more entry level mixers. They nailed it and sold me. I just need to figure out how to navigate the mic and it may mean more time in Logic/post, which I hoped I could skip most of the time. As budget and time allows, I may test with Rode microphone and report an update and give more stars. I’m hoping some of these features are added the way they added multitrack before I purchased. It was the higher priority and at least gives a workaround.

    UPDATE: 4-15-20 - 5 stars

    After 7 months using the Rodecaster Pro I am updating to 5 stars with the release of Version 2.1 Public Beta. We have produced 26 episodes of Science and Saucery podcast now along with many other audio programs and I kept an open mind the entire time. It's really been easy to use and post processing in logic has be easy once the show template project was tweaked and finished. We've used all the channels and from phone integration to multitrack input, this thing has been a workhorse with no downtime.

    After just an hour on the new software, which addressed all the issues I had by adding controls for the onboard compressor, noise gate, de-esser, aphex processors (aural exciter/Big bottom), and low pass filter. They also added reverb, which I don't need, but perhaps they will continue to add other audio features in the future. The new dBFS with peak hold monitors are also really nice. There is an overdub mode for existing recordings, but this isn't something I need. I expect some will like it. The record now allows select pre/post fader record. I wish it would record both of these at the same time as all my workflow is set up for pre fader record.

    Hope to update again after some solid working time. It's beta, so I expect some bugs, but I am willing to accept that and extremely happy that Rode has continued to improve this product.

    I set up a zoom studio to elevate the audio and video quality of my Zoom meetings. I was frustrated with the quality of the sound I was getting from my shure sm7b / cloudlifter / Focusrite Solo combination. Sounded distorted and hollow.

    So I bit the bullet, blew my budget and bought the RODECaster Pro. I sure am glad I did. It's an amazing piece of equipment worth every penny, and I'm only beginning to get into tweaking the settings to get the best sound. It works great right out of the box, but spend a little time on YouTube learning about the extensive featureset and how to tweak the settings and this boy sings! It's overkill for my application, but it's elevated the production value of my meetings and I constantly get compliments on the sound.

    There are presets for RODE mics but also generic settings for dynamic and condenser. Plus there are over a dozen settings to tweak the compression and audio dynamics of the sound. It works great with a Sure SM7b, no Cloudlifter needed.

    Setup was easy and straightforward. Just plug it into your PC and it's automatically recognized. No drivers needed. Definitely worth the price of admission. Highly recommend.

    Over the years I've purchased a few mixing boards, which have all either stopped working, shorted out or added noise to my system no matter how many noice gates and etc., I've added. But, the RODECaster is my new best friend! It has made my recordings so much better and convenient that I only wish it was available several years ago! Setup is fairly simple, even if you're not technical. Support is great and the tools available continue to grow. I have my macPro connected for video production and audio capturing on the USB channel, an iPad pro for conference line listeners, my live callers on the noice cancelling phone channel, and my iPhone hooked up to the Bluetooth channel for playing live music. A Heil PR-40 mic on channel 1, Sure SM58 on channel 2, Sony headphones on headphone out 1 & 2. The single press to record is fantastic and produces flawless recordings on the microSD, which is an easy download to the macPro using the RODECaster Pro desktop interface. This is a little beast! If you want to decrease your audio ad spend and improve your audio quality I highly suggest you get this device. It will save you time, trouble and $$! Thanks RODE! You've done it again with another great device. Keep it coming.

    Es un producto increíble si lo que deseas es hacer un podcast ya sea grabado o en vivo, esta consola de audio te facilita muchísimo las cosas por su versatilidad yo la compre al proveedor "GTR GROUP" y hasta ahorita todo va muy bien, el detalle que tuve fue que la caja venia abierta y no contaba con el cable USB-C a USB-A que este incluye, tampoco traía los plásticos protectores que cubren la pantalla táctil y las perillas de los volúmenes de los audífonos, como el producto fue de importación posiblemente al pasar por las aduanas el paquete fue manipulado, pero esto no afecta su funcionamiento, solo lo que hice fue comprarle el cable que faltaba y listo, uno genérico por mientras y ya después comprar el cable original de Rode ya que este también se vende por separado. En si estoy muy contento por la compra y con el producto, insisto es muy versátil y funcional, saludos a todos y espero mi opinión les sirva de algo.

The rodecaster pro has all that gear that I was using built into one unit plus a ton of other features! I was a bit hesitant to pull the trigger because of the cost.

    A Podcasting Powerhouse with Some Quirks

    The RØDE RØDECaster Pro is an absolute game-changer for anyone serious about podcasting, streaming, or content creation. This all-in-one production solution packs a punch, delivering studio-grade audio quality and a wealth of features that elevate your content to professional levels.

    One of the standout aspects of the RØDECaster Pro is its ease of use. Despite its comprehensive capabilities, the intuitive interface and straightforward controls make it accessible even for beginners. The four microphone inputs, each with a high-quality preamp, ensure crystal-clear audio capture, while the smartphone, USB, and Bluetooth channels seamlessly integrate remote guests into your production.

    The programmable sound pads are a true delight, allowing you to load up to 64 sound effects, music clips, or audio snippets for instant playback during your podcast or stream. This level of flexibility and creativity is unmatched in this price range, enabling you to add dynamic elements to your content with ease.

    Furthermore, the onboard audio processing, including the legendary APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects, delivers broadcast-ready audio that makes you sound like a seasoned professional, without the need for complex post-production. The ability to record directly to a microSD card or a computer via USB, with one-touch recording in stereo or multitrack, is another convenient feature that streamlines your workflow.

    However, the RØDECaster Pro is not without its quirks. While the plethora of features is impressive, the learning curve can be steep, especially for those new to audio production. Additionally, the physical design, while functional, may not appeal to everyone's aesthetic sensibilities.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, the RØDE RØDECaster Pro is an exceptional investment for anyone looking to elevate their podcasting, streaming, or content creation game. With its powerful audio capabilities, intuitive interface, and wealth of features, it truly stands as a one-stop solution for professional-level productions. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, the RØDECaster Pro will undoubtedly take your content to new heights.
