RØDECaster Pro II sounding wrong?

Premium gear, but your podcast sounds processed, harsh or uneven. I’ll set your RØDECaster and Shure SM7Bs up for a natural, consistent sound, and save it so it stays that way.

Sound familiar?

The studio looks professional. The recordings don’t sound it yet.

The unnatural voice

Voices sound boomy, fizzy or processed, nothing like the people in the room.

Uneven guests

One guest is far louder than another, and every edit starts with fixing levels.

Too many effects

The onboard processing is turned up, and turning it down feels like guesswork.

Strip it back, then build

The RØDECaster’s built-in effects are powerful and easy to overdo. I start from a clean signal, add only what each voice needs, and keep every channel consistent.

How I fix it

A live remote session. You stay at your desk, and I work on your computer with you.

I call you on WhatsApp

A voice line on your phone, separate from the mic we’re working on, so we can talk while we test.

I connect and listen

I connect to your computer with AnyDesk and hear your audio in real time through Audiomovers LISTENTO.

We build a clean show

Signal path and gain first, then the RØDECaster’s processing channel by channel, saved as a Show with a matching recording template.

A real fix

A West London podcast studio with premium gear and sub-par sound.

Studio session CASE ID #721

Natural podcast sound from a RØDECaster Pro II and Shure SM7Bs

The setup

The problem

The studio had a RØDECaster Pro II, Shure SM7B mics and multitrack recording into Adobe Audition, but guests and owners were unhappy with the sound.

What I did

Turned off the Depth and Sparkle exciters, which were pushed close to maximum on some channels.
Set the same light amount of Punch on every channel, kept the EQ flat, and added a high-pass filter and a gentle noise gate.
Saved the setup as a new Show on the RØDECaster, with a matching multitrack template in Audition.

The result

Result: a week later the owners said their first session was a success, and everyone commented on how much better it sounded.

Live Diagnostic

£90

A focused, one-hour, screen-shared session to find and kill a specific problem. Mic suddenly not recording, distortion out of nowhere, routing that’s blocking your chat, software that won’t behave. Most issues are gone inside the session.

Full Studio Setup

£180

Around two hours. I take control and configure your whole rig from scratch — hardware and software, gain staging, mic positioning, routing, the lot. For new gear, a new room, or a setup that’s never quite worked properly. You end up with a system that just runs.

Before you book

The questions podcast studios ask me most.

Do we need new equipment?

Not in this studio. The gear was excellent; the onboard processing was the problem.

Can you help remotely?

Often, yes, working through it with you on a remote session. This studio’s session was in person, in West London. The free Diagnosis will tell you which you need.

Will the settings stay put?

Yes. Saved as a Show on the RØDECaster, the same sound loads at the start of every session.
