How would you like your audio recorded?

Stereo vs Multitrack


Stereo mixes all your tracks together into a left and right track and is easy to upload out of the box without any post work.

Multitrack on the other hand records each source to a separate track, providing you with 14 tracks in total (Main out, USB, Phone, BT, and SFX are split into left and right channels) for the ultimate control in post editing and touch up. Keep in mind, this type of recording may not work very well if the end recipient's device does not auto mix them into stereo, so it is suggested to edit multitrack after recording and create your own stereo version.

To set which version you would like:

  1. Tap on the Settings button on the top corner of the LCD Screen
  2. Then click Advanced > Audio > Multitrack
  3. On the final page, you will have the choice to enable multitrack on the SD Card recording and / or the USB output. 

  • The Multitrack is ordered as such:
    1. Main Left
    2. Main Right
    3. Mic 1
    4. Mic 2
    5. Mic 3
    6. Mic 4
    7. USB Left
    8. USB Right
    9. Phone Left
    10. Phone Right
    11. Bluetooth Left
    12. Bluetooth Right
    13. SFX Left
    14. SFX Right


Next Check to see if audio processing is turned on

Press the mic you want to use in this case #1

Then click on Audio Processing

Make sure Noise Gate is set to OFF as shown here.


That will help with audio cutting in and out

Do you plan to playback any audio from your computer?

Go into the computer's speaker / microphone settings and make sure Speakers is set to RODECaster Pro Stereo. This will forward any sounds you play to the USB input on the RODECaster.


Do you plan to use the RODECaster Pro as a Mic input for the computer?

Go into the computer's speaker / microphone settings and make sure Mic Input is set to RODECaster Pro Stereo. This will take the Main Left / Right output of the RODECaster as your computer Mic.

If you will be playing audio from the computer while also using it as a computer mic, make sure USB Mix-minus is enabled.

  1. Tap on the Settings button on the top corner of the LCD Screen
  2. Then click Advanced > Audio > Processing
  3. Verify that USB Mix-minus is enabled
