Is The RODECaster Video Worth Buying?

Heyk here for free podcast tools and I Wanted to talk a little bit more about The roadter video after having the Roadter video for a good while now I've Been able to really deep dive into it And there's a few things you should be Aware of before you purchase it I don't Mention any of these to deter you from Purchasing the roadter video I only Mention them so you're aware because Some of the questions I get asked over And over and over again are based Bas on These items that I'll be talking about First and foremost the unit does not Record or stream in 4k this question Gets asked over and over and over and Over again so it seems to be very Important to people now I personally Would never stream in 4k just based on My internet connection I don't think it Would even be possible for me to do it But as far as recording I would love if The unit could record in 4k but it can Not Road says the cost would be greatly Impacted if they did make it 4K now I do Wish that they would offer a unit that Was 4K that you could pay you know 3,000 4,000 whatever they're going to charge For that that would be cool to just have The option so I guess they're going to Stick with the way it is right now 1080P And for those of us who like to capture Game streams there's no ISO recording Over 30 frames a second so that might be

A deterrent for gamers out there who Want to record gameplay tips and tricks And stuff and then put that out at a High frame rate you're going to be stuck In program mode or you're just going to Have to live with 30 frames a second the Thing on this list that hurts me the Most is no real quick solution for Muting unless you have the software open You can easily mute in that but I don't Want to have the computer on while I'm Recording you can still physically mute So on the menu screen if you press the Sound icon and you get in here and tigle Over to your input so combo one you can Press the tigle dial up here down like a Button for two seconds and it will mute This Input the only main problem I have with This is I'll go in there while the Camera's on me I'll go back in there and I'm going to set that to mute and then I'll switch the camera and you'll see What I mean you'll see what Happens so the irritating part is when I Switch the camera then I get away from The combo selection on the menu now I Got to go back and get back into that Combo setting to unmute so that's a Little Annoying and I just wish there Was a simpler way to have that Functionality at all times I don't want To always be connected to Road Central That's just my personal preference

Another thing you just need to be aware Of is every USB device that you connect To it needs to be Road branded you need To specifically have a roadter pro two Or roadter Duo if you want to connect The interface wise or you have to have Road branded USB microphones in order to Work with the unit while it would be a Show of good faith for road to allow Other USB microphones and such to be Used with the unit it only makes Business sense for them to keep it Locked in to their ecosystem one thing I Did forget to mention is if you detach The SSD drive by accident then you're Going to lose that recording it looks Like the files corrupt I don't even know If that's something they could impact in The future like OBS makes happen you Know when they have their file format That they record in and you can always Seem to go back and get it regardless of What has transpired now I have dozens And dozens of sound effects also I have Several video clips that I like to have Loaded up so it's a little frustrating That I only have the seven buttons to Utilize on the roadter video now you can Have more media in Road Central when You're setting things up I would love to See them make some changes to that in The future and in a upcoming video I'm Going to talk about how they might be Able to implement that while it sounds

Like I'm down on the unit that's not the Case at all I actually love the road Caster video at the very top of what I Love about this unit is it reduces the Amount of equipment I need to have on at Once so right now I'm recording this I Just have the roadter video on I have a Monitor so I can preview the video and I Have just whatever's plugged into it on Of course cameras Etc but I don't have The computer on I don't have any other Interface on I don't have anything else Running and that allows me to make a lot Cleaner videos when I'm doing these Microphone tests because I don't have my Gaming PC or my business PC running in The background introducing a bunch of Extra noise personally I think it has Helped increase the quality of those Microphone review videos piggybacking on Reducing the number of devices I have Plugged in and turned on while I'm Recording it also reduces complexity Being able to just switch between cam Cameras automatically saves a lot of Editing time in post where before I used To have to put together both cameras and Then cut between what I want on the Screen and now I'm able to just take the Program version of the recording and Since I'm switching manually it's Already in there I don't have to do any Extra cutting in post also I'm not using OBS anymore so I'm getting better

Quality video in my opinion I was having Tearing and and frame rate issues when I'm using OBS and mismatch frame rates And all that kind of stuff since I've Reduced the amount of devices turned on While recording and reduced complexity That ultimately combines to saving time Before I was plugging into OBS on a Different computer recording into the Roadter duo I'd have to get that file From obs transfer it via an external Storage drive to my editing PC bring in The audio from The roadter Duo into the Editing PC sync those up make all the Cuts between cameras it it was a whole Big process and now even though I record The iso and have all the cameras at my Disposal I still just bring in the Program file which I've already been Switching back and forth manually so I Don't have to do that in post so in my Opinion I am saving 75 to 80% of the Time that I used to spend on one video That is a huge win and it's all thanks To the roadter video so after pointing Out these things if you were on the Fence before maybe that brought you some Clarity on which direction you're going To head in for my workflow the roadter Video has been truly a game Cher for More videos on the roadter video stay Tuned to the channel definitely Subscribe and as always thank you
