    This is a really good device for Podcasts abd streaming, however there's somethings that need to be worked around when using it with a desktop (I will leave some examples in the photos). It's not very intuitive if you want to record instruments but it's almost perfect for everything else. I just need something smaller like the rodecaster duo!

    The Rodecaster Pro 2 is probably the best audio purchase I've ever made. It's incredibly versatile and one of the best quality machines for consumer purchase. There's a little bit of a learning curve but it's worth the effort. This mixer makes my podcast sound fantastic!

    Good audio interface with surprising pre-amp

    It can be challenging to understand the settings, but there are lots of people using this device so you can easily find sources to learn form on the internet. Gives you pretty good freedom to setup your audio, and I was impressed by the pre-amp on it that is quite more powerful than most DACs, it made it possible for me to use a SM7B without a Cloudlifter while not having any humming form amplifying the volume in software. While it is pricier than the GoXLR it also gives you more features

    This is probably the most substantial piece of tech I’ve bought in the last year. This basically does everything and it’s showing no signs of updates, which are going to make the device, even more usable in all situations, whether it be podcasting, twitch, streaming, or video creation.

    I have had this product for roughly 2 weeks. I will say im impressed with the preset features. Comes with several audio effects, sound clips, and options to add more. Gives you capability to control volume on apps individually and for the SM7B microphone its perfect. I play in discord and make content and its perfect for both.

    The article may be very good, I don't know yet... what is terrible is the care they do not give to the articles in the best buy stores - on two occasions I returned the same product because the device was damaged, and the article also came opened and pretended that they were new... I think they are items that people return and then best buy wants to deceive you by saying that they are new... it is a terrible service I do not recommend you buy this item at all since they deliver it to you damaged in the store or they send it to you just as damaged.

    This is a great product for anyone looking for quality audio in their live streaming. I recommend buying the cover to prevent dust although it is sold separately.
