RodeCaster Video: Let's Go Live & New Elgato Prompter XL 2.5 X Larger

Описание: I unboxed this Rodecaster Video Live last week and I know I'm way late to the party but I have arived and will do my best to Go LIVE with this New Switcher by Rode and give you my first impressions after using it for a week in October 2025. Also we will take a look at the Bigger and Badder Elgato Prompter XL and what the fixed that people asked for in the Original. Yes it's Bigger and it has some new abilities that make it perhaps more usuable for larger cameras and Larger lenses. I you want to speed past all the YouTube Static sound issues go to 43:20 in the stream or scroll to the bottom of this and click on the cchpater markers you want!

Last nights Live Audio crackeling issue was on the Live Stream only its seemed to originate on YouTube not in mhy recordings local on the drive. See chapter Markers!

19:46 - I get told in the chat that audio has dropped out of some ones stream
20:20 - Someone else says they arte having audio issues
20:39 - My headphones are sounding great and they are listening to the Live Stream Sudio
21:13 - Chat recomends I listen to the YouTube Stream and I test it Live.
21:50- I hear it live from my phone for the first time static in the Live YouTube Audio
22:30 - I changed to the RodeCaster Pro II Wireless Go II Micropone and enable audio in USB 5 of the Live Stream Rodecaster Video so I have bypassed the Combo 1 input and it is still bad on YouTube
23:30 - Now we look at the effects that I have on based on a user chat inside the RodeCaster Pro II (Rabit trail realy at this point but I am still wondering if it's on my end no on YouTubes end.
26:56 - I even change the xlr and loose audio for a few minutes trouble shooting my end.I have Combo 2 jack disabled inb the Live Stream mix and can't seem to gert it in why I am Live.
28:28 - I change the Podmic xlr back to combo 1 from combo 2 input on the Rodecaster video
29:23 - I am now convinced it's on the broadcast side after it leaves the encoding. That could be inside the Rodecaster Video Encoder or YouTube
31:40 - I stop Iso recording to see if that helps the issue and try moving the Podmic to the RodeCaster Pro II and back again to the Rodecaster Video Combo 1
36:00 - Tried everything on my end to no avail the chats helps me with what now!
