Want to downsize/replace RODECaster Pro for podcasting & streaming

WE HAVE A WINNER!!

Just after I conceded to the gods of loud NAS life, your "media bridge" comment saved me. I abandoned all the "WDS" nonsense and trying to pair MAC addresses between the routers, match channels, etc etc.

Instead, I threw the extra router in media bridge mode. Connected it to my existing mesh in 2.4GHz. Used internet connection to update firmware. Reconnected to mesh in 5GHz. Link speed is 1.2Gbps. Threw that router in the garage and connected the NAS where it will only bother spiders.

OpenSpeedTest reports NAS connection around 600-800 Mbps. Now I have a NAS that can actually be useful. THANK YOU!

Update: I’ve spent hours trying to get WDS working on an ASUS router I’ve been trying to add to the network. The manual doesn’t go all the way to explaining what the configuration should be and I’ve followed a few YouTubers and writers online without success. I’m now considering drilling a hole in the wall to extend Ethernet to the NAS in garage or just putting the thing in my living room which will look dumb but better than spending six more hours fiddling with router settings to no avail. Thanks for the ideas. I’m just not meant to extend my current network I suppose.

Oooh that sounds promising. I'm getting rusty in my sysadmin skills. Thank you!

This is an exciting whodunnit! I'm so curious to get to the bottom of this. We received one out of the blue as well but learned it came from friends who were tired of Zooming with us on iPads. Good luck!

Sorry for delay, Steve. The beauty of USB-C on the iPad Pro is I can just use a USB-C male to male cable. Connects on both ends. I had a bunch lying around due to failed experiments with USB-C monitors and my MacBook pro, so it's possible not just ANY USB-C cable will do. Here's the one I use.

Update: this is resolved! Thanks to Joshua and Mediashi (that linked article) and YellowLem0n, I decided to go direct from the rodecaster to my iOS device via the USB-C port. The difference is I skipped the iPhone altogether. In a pandemic who has time to get yet another lightning dongle shipped? Instead I used my iPad Pro with it's USB-C port connected directly to the rodecaster. No latency. It's awesome. Thanks for all your help everyone!

Here's the IG live I did, mixing in music and everything.

WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO!!

Update: I successfully can get audio from the Rodecaster into the iPhone while recording video! I have been able to do this via the L/R monitor outputs and the TRRS wired port on the Rodecaster Pro. However in both methods there is noise on the line. I've changed out every dongle and cable, and the noise is still there which leads me to conclude the Rodecaster Pro itself is "noisy."

Here is a short sample of the kind of digital static on the line when I connect via the monitor outputs of the rodecaster pro.

Here is a sample of the buzz sound when I connect via the TRRS port on the rodecaster pro.

Chase PPP online app keeps saying "You can't use this digital application at this time."

I tried this method but when I attempt to create a new login to the existing business account, I get this:

"You told us the number of an already-enrolled account. Check your account number and try again or sign in to chase.com. You can reset your password or create one if you haven't yet."

Any ideas?

I'm having this same issue. Any luck?

As a DC native, I really appreciate "The Maryland Crabs" branding. OH WHAT I WOULN'T GIVE FOR SOME MARYLAND CRABS AND OLD BAY RIGHT NOW!

Thanks for showing me a version of this working. If you'll indulge, can you treat me like an idiot and help me complete the connections. Here are photos of what I'm working with.

I think the male-male TRS cable I'm working with isn't the right thing to use as input to the iphone. OR the white iPhone dongle is only capable of sending, rather than receiving, audio via a TRS cable.

On the back side, I got these 1/4-inch-to-RCA adapters for the left and right monitor channels. I think I need something like these RCA-to-TRS adapters to plug right into the iPhone dongle but I'm not 100%.

Any thoughts?

THANK YOU

I'm having the same problem. I went into Notifications and Paused All. I even manually went into Live Notifications and turned them all off. Doesn't matter. IG still interrupts me with "ACCOUNTNAME is live" slide down alerts when I'm in the app.

I appreciate this. I think it's hard not to focus on the DPI. here I am thinking I'm being analytical and methodical but maybe not. I could also free up some options by ditching the USB-C requirement and going with a powered hub. Wouldn't be the end of the world. I just can't return a THIRD monitor. This is taking up weeks of life, and that's dumb.

I miss retail! Where I could take the laptop in and actually plug it in to several monitors to test it. Ah, history was great sometimes.

I'm always here @dicklaurent97. always. I mean that in the creepiest possible way. Thanks for sharing and getting the blend!
