Firmware-Version 1.0.7 für den RØDECaster Pro II ist jetzt verfügbar

Stereo Output on USB 1 Main

Firmware version 1.0.7 also includes the ability to switch between a stereo or multitrack output on the USB 1 Main output. This is particularly useful when using the RØDECaster Pro II with online streaming platforms, some of which experience issues when receiving a multitrack input.

USB 1 Main will be set as a stereo output by default for all new RØDECaster Pro II users, so if you want to record in multitrack mode and are not seeing the multitrack output, remember to check your settings (‘Outputs’ > ‘Multitrack’) and ensure that ‘USB’ is set to either ‘Pre-Fader’ or ‘Post-Fader’, depending on your recording preferences.

For existing RØDECaster Pro II users who update to firmware version 1.0.7, USB 1 Main will retain its settings prior to the update, meaning that multitrack will be enabled by default (either as pre- or post-fader). To switch to stereo output mode, go to ‘Outputs’ > ‘Multitrack’, then select ‘Off’ in the ‘USB’ tab.

New Version of RØDE Central

An updated version of RØDE Central is now available. This new version accommodates this new USB architecture and also includes a new feature that automatically converts any incompatible audio files when loading sounds on the SMART pads, as well as some other minor updates (see the full release notes here).

We highly recommend using the most up-to-date version of RØDE Central to ensure you’re getting the most out of the RØDECaster Pro II.

User Interface Enhancements

There have also been some useful enhancements to the user interface that make navigating and using the RØDECaster Pro II even more intuitive.

Firstly, the fader position indicators on the mixer display now turn from white to grey when a fader is all the way down, so you can easily see which channels are passing audio.

It’s also now possible to control the monitor output level (Bluetooth and line-out) directly from the playback screen when listening to recordings.

There have also been some changes to the behaviour of the rotary encoder for a more efficient workflow. Now you can easily cycle between the virtual channels and the monitor output by pressing the rotary encoder, making it easier to set levels on the fly. Pressing and holding the rotary encoder when a virtual fader is selected will now mute that channel.

Finally, we have made enhancements to how some features operate, including optimising the Bluetooth output to improve ambient noise rejection, as well as adding the ability to power down the device by pressing the power button twice.
