Track>New Track one track

Create 1-4 mono tracks for how many voices you are recording

Our example we are recording 2 people

On every track

Go to the "Edit Window View Selector" drop down

Choose I/O

Or Go to > View>Edit Window Views> I/O >

Next choose the input for each track you want to record

Example here choose Mic 1 to record Mic 1

Next we need to make sure the microphones are set correctly on the RODECaster Pro

Select the Microphone channel selector softkey for the mic you want to use

EX: #2

Make sure it is set to RODE

Broadcaster

Make sure that Phantom Power is on and the Level is set to 18 or higher. this is how you will adjust

input level in ProTools when you record

press the plus and minus buttons to adjust levels

the Microphone faders on the RODECaster don't adjust recording input level

This is how you hear in the headphones!!

When you slide them up the headphone volume increases

not the recording input level!

You also adjust headphone volume with these knobs

Make sure that the USB fader

is turned down on the RODECaster to prevent

feedback

Recording in ProTools

Click on the RED record button "record enabled"

Check Levels in ProTools

Should see input levels in ProTools I/O view. Set inputs so the levels are in the green to yellow areas.

Make sure that Phantom Power is on and the Level is set to

a good level in protools this is how you will adjust the input levels

I was getting a level 39 before it looked good in ProTools

Record as needed using normal ProTools recording procedure by hitting play on the transport window while the record button is enabled.
