The Rodecaster Duo can do-oh a whole lot of stuff, but how does it compare to the Rodecaster Pro II? It’s essentially the same device in a smaller package, which I think makes it the perfect all-in-one audio interface/mixer setup for most people. This video will take a look at the Duo and see what it has to offer, and I’ll also dive into some of the questions I’ve received about different features/uses of the Duo.

This video is not sponsored, but Rode did send me the Rodecaster Duo for free. I’m under no obligation to make a video about it or say anything specific about it, and I don't make videos in exchange for free products. I honestly wasn’t even planning to do a video on it, but ended up liking it so much that I couldn’t resist!
