All the knobs

Live from the RØDECaster

Solo the PodMic and pull the other faders down. This hears the stereo mix, with the fader on the unity line. Bypass the channel processors for a raw read. Leave them on to hear what is still wrong.

Ready when you are.

    Where the knobs sit

    A sketch of this sheet on a rough PodMic shape. The real capsule is measured by RØDE, and this drawing is only a map of the knobs.

    PodMic: dynamic cardioid, about 320 Ω, −57 dB re 1 V/Pa, phantom power unused. RØDECaster Pro II mic preamp: 0–76 dB, so this mic does not need an inline booster. Chain order, high-pass slope, and the de-esser (it ducks the whole voice when it hears the S, and it does not cut a notch) follow RØDE’s Pro II processing guide. Compressor release on this desk runs out to about 200 ms. Gate hysteresis is the small 0-to-1 number that splits the two dotted lines. Numbers are a start. The headphone check is the setting.
