The new Windows and Mac software from R\u00d8DE allows you to record up to four NT-USB Mini microphones simultaneously.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While somewhat limited on sound quality, USB microphones are a great and cheap way to record podcasts directly onto a laptop without the need for external mixers. However recording more than one microphone onto one computer can get messy. R\u00d8DE Connect fixes this issue… sort of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00d8DE Connect is a simple application for recording and mixing up to four microphones, perfect for podcasting and livestreaming. So what’s the catch? Unfortunately R\u00d8DE Connect only works with the microphone company’s own $99 NT-USB Mini.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect up to four NT-USB Minis to a single computer to create professional-quality podcasts easily, with complete control over your recording. Featuring broadcast-style faders, level metering, mute button, multi-channel recording and more, the intuitive recording interface is inspired by the R\u00d8DECaster Pro<\/a>, a hardware audio interface designed for recording multiple XLR microphones. Before you’re ready to fork out $600 on the mixer, plus a few hundred for some professional microphones, R\u00d8DE Connect could be a great first step for those starting out in the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streamline the control of your microphone audio and external applications. R\u00d8DE Connect gives you seamless integration of external audio sources, with a simple way to route audio from chat applications, gameplay sound, mic audio and more, ideal for livestreaming gamers. You can easily add system audio to the mix for all sounds from your computer or a single application such as FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, etc. R\u00d8DE Connect gives you dedicated output control for streaming apps like OBS or Xplit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free application unlocks digital signal processing with the NT-USB Mini. Improve the quality of your output at the touch of a button, via compression and noise gate, plus effects Aphex Aural Exciter and Big Bottom, found in the R\u00d8DECaster Pro. EQ and compression is handled on the microphones internally, lightening the load on your computer, essential for gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00d8DE have stated they may open the software up to more R\u00d8DE microphones: “We are actively looking at how we can expand the selection of microphones available for use with R\u00d8DE Connect, and where possible we will integrate other R\u00d8DE mics into the solution.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
