*** Software update October 2024 ***
Introducing a massive update for the RODECaster Pro II and RODECaster Duo - virtual devices have landed!
This new feature allows users to treat their software as if it were a microphone connected to their RODECaster. This means they can assign each app to a fader and individually apply effects and processing, create custom routing and record them individually.
This update is currently available in beta, with a full public release coming soon. To access virtual devices whilst in beta, users will need to join the RODECaster Beta Program.
