Hi. I have 2 questions about the device: Can it power dt 990 pro 250 ohm or dt 1990 pro? Also i've read somewhere you have to plug the 5V power cord in too, because the usb c not enough, in too is it true? Also if its true, do i have to buy an AC converter, or that goes into the usb c of my motherboard too?
Ok not gonna lie this looks nice and it does what I need, still somehow I am drawn more to rode duo for ease of mic setup I could easily switch between my sm7b and NT1 great vid mate 🫡
Thanks for the compliments - glad it was helpful! If you can afford the Rode, it's more likely to be a better option, mainly from the standpoint of how well established it is the streaming market vs BridgeCast. That's not to take anything away from BridgeCast, but it's a question of budget and value. If you can afford to go with the premium option, that's a little more established, it's probably a safer bet! If you want to save some money.... go with the BridgeCast!
Can the Rode Duo replicate this functionality? From all of my research, the Duo would require multiple usb cables to be connected to my PC to have mic / game / chat and music assigned to the 4 physical faders like the Bridge Cast. Am I wrong?
Does it work without software? Like once you set it up - you don't need anything running in the background. Which is one of the confirmed features for the Rodecaster Duo
Great video man! I am just wondering how the setup would work while using this device with a dual pc streaming setup. would it work? If so, would you be able to do a setup video? thanks again!
So... I'm looking to replace my Helion GoXLR as mine just died... and the 1 question I have which I'm having a really hard time finding an answer too... is can you use this on a 2 PC set up? Fifine mixer, which I got as a quick solution didn't pan out as the Mic output only went to the gaming PC and not the streaming PC unless you use the Mic Monitor option... which also means hearing myself in my headset... which... is really weird, and didn't fit the bill. So now, I'm looking at this Bridge Cast, and I have watched 4 reviews so far which sound great, but none have spoke about how well this would do with a 2 PC set up. Primarily what I'm looking to understand is if I use my XLR mic, does the sound from the Mic get transmitted via both the USB C port connected to the Primary PC, but also to the 3.5mm output port that would go to your Streaming PC?... without having to turn on a Monitor Mic option, or having to listen to yourself. My TC Helion GoXLR never had that option, and it was easy to just send the output to the Streaming PC. Any input on this would be great and help me make a decision. :)
"Any input on this would be great" was than unintentional audio play on words?! The short answer is I think it would work well on a 2 PC set up but the long answer is I'm not 100% so I've sent your request to my technical contact at Roland to clarify! I'll revert hopefully in a day or two when he responds :D Either way, best of luck and thanks for watching!
Hmmm yea you're probably right. Only hesitation is that I didn't do much treatment to the BridgeCast audio whereas I have tuned my GoXLR quite considerably over time (and it's still pretty rubbish because I'm so bad at audio lol!).
@@MachineDaena Have you put any more treatment into it because I do agree it's night and day, and as goxlr has lost update support, I am between this and a rodecaster duo. So was wondering if you could post or tell me if you got it to sound better
@@frzn9856 Sorry to say I haven't as I finished my testing on the BridgeCast a long while ago. I'm very confident the BridgeCast audio engineering would be as good as, if not more superior to, the GoXLR. However, there might be other reasons to go with something else (e.g. Rode) so that doesn't necessarily mean BridgeCast is the answer. If there are other reasons why you like BridgeCast, don't let audio engineering be the reason not to get it because the audio engineering on BridgeCast is likely to be better than what you natively get with Rode (streaming products), from what I've seen.
Absolutely awesome video MD. I really like the look of the bridgecast. It is definitely something I would have sat on my desk. Wondering what it is like working with obs. Can it be used for the settings and levels seperately and not have obs set them or do you have to set it up on both sides would there be a video in showing the intergration and usability with obs cou,d be an interesting video. On a side note, eevie is looking sooooo cute and growing up fast.
Hi mate! Thanks for the positivity! Yes for sure it can work with OBS - but as with the GoXLR, the purpose of something like this is really to simplify the audio control experience (the output…. Because configuring it can be challenging but once’s it’s done, it should make a streamers life easier). So like with the GoXLR, the Bridge Cast should make managing audio levels in OBS redundant (set and forget…) then you simply adjust things on the device as needed! I might do a follow up vid at some point, we’ll see!
I've been using the Elgato Wave 3 since September 2020 and I am thinking about upgrading to a dynamic mic likely an XLR one I was thinking of going with the Elgato Wave DX and Wave XLR with the possibility of upgrading to the Rode podmic a few months to a year or two later and the Bridgecast a few months to a year after that what would you recommend
Hey just start fallow you but will like to see you make videos of this device so it will be cool if you make tutorial about, will be highly appreciated. Keep the good job.
I'm 99% certain it would work yes, using line ins / line out configuration. I don't have a tutorial on it but if you look up GoXLR dual PC set up, I'm certain it would be very similar to that physical setup.
Would be amazing if you also did a setup video for this device, there's not a whole lot on setting it up or of different types of setups it can do. I am using Voicemeeter and would like a hardware solution if it can do what my current Voicemeeter setup can do. So far I do not think it can.
Hi, awesome video! A friend and I have both bought a Shure SM7B and Roland Bridge Cast. We both have white noise at about 48dB with just 49dB of gain on the microphone. With the microphone disconnected the noise becomes even louder. Do you have the same issue and are you using anything to reduce the noise? Saw you had your gate at -87dB. Ours needs to be at -45dB to negate the noise. We tried switching cables, returning the unit, but the issue is still present. Do you know how this can happen?
Hey, thanks for the positive vibes and for watching. I think this is a common issue - a lot of people seem to contact me with feedback issues 🫠 though many people don’t report it being due to the loudness, so it could be your issue is slightly different. Could it potentially be your mic?
@@MachineDaena I've tested with the sm7b of my friend which has the same problem, so it's unlikely to be the microphone. What do other people report on? are there more common issues with the bridge cast? Do you use a cloudlifter to get the right amount of gain for the bridge cast?
try using a fet head and using it as a condenser mic with 48v phantom, reduce the fuck out of your db gain to like 16 or 18 and see how you go, save for that my only thing would be the shure likes power to run it, perhaps plug it into the 5v for extrta power and see if that does it for you
@@magicalnmighty8680 I'm using the roland bridge cast, shure sm7b, at 57 gain, crystal clear audio, zero white noise or any issue. Its on your end. No cloudlifter/fathead required. The bridge cast by itself is cleaner then my focusrite solo 4th gen solo and cloudlifter together was.
you are getting dual bus wrong my friend goxlr doesnt have it at all dual bus = you can play 1 thing at 2 different levels , for example you can play a song at 10% on your speakers and at 50% on stream for audience you cant do that on goxlr
@@MachineDaena true, you said that about bridge cast, but also you said at 7:21 its not unique to bridge cast (which is unique) coz goxlr have routing table which confusing alot because the routing table does not work as dual bus work
@@xlKhaled you're not wrong, but again, conceptually the functionality offered amounts to the same in terms of how a user will probably use dual bus vs routing table. If Dual Bus offers superior functionality in terms of how someone will use it, in comparison to a routing table, please advise how as that's definitely something I'd love to know about (as would other viewers on this vid!) :)
@@MachineDaena as an example: you are steaming a game and playing music , audience says music volume is too high comparing to everything else and you are barley hear the music in your speakers/headphones (and vice versa), in this example you can raise the volume for you and lower the volume for stream with the knobs , with goxlr routing table essentially its a check mark either you/they hear it or not you cant change volume for you and audience separately you need other apps to do same thing
@@xlKhaled ah you see, you're wrong here... the far right fader on the GoXLR software enables you to adjust volume for YOU and NOT the stream. I use this feature ALL THE TIME with GoXLR. I get what you're saying though, as audio levels per fader (rather than overarching volume for headset, per the GoXLR) DOES give a better level of control, but it's not something that's likely to make or break the GoXLR vs BridgeCast.
Just got this to replace my faulty GoXLR. Was able to get it for 150 euros and your review made me decide to give this a go. Actually VERY impressed so far! Need to test it some more with different games, but I think it will be good. My mic quality sounds a lot better and it all runs very smooth. Really hope I am still this positive after using it for a while!
Check it out for yourself; amzn.to/3SAwOQ4 :D
Bro can you please do a full set up guide for the Bridge Cast. Duel pc, wireless headset, obs, etc...
What he said. please. pretty please?

Wondering the same thing. Having trouble deciding what hardware to get for a 2 PC setup.
@@coachgordon_bombay same here man lol
If I get decent view count on the bridgecast vids I’ll possibly do a set up vid too!
But yes it does work with dual PC!
Great! Thank you so much!@@MachineDaena
Good video. Although your plosives are a little pronounced . Been looking at this for months , against the goxlr.
Yea I need to regrade my mic settings or change the angle of my mic! Also my
shure SM7B is getting a little tired so I might need to replace it!

the goxlr preamp sounded SO much better in the comparison, like night and day difference

his mids where too low and muddy, i bet with enough tweaking you could blow the goxlr out of the water with the roland
Well GoXLR devs just released a beta update, so we can’t say it isn’t supported now 😊

Simeone find a way to cut out musik from your stream mix but make sound changes on the bridge cast ?

I'm using daul pc, but i dont know why the bridge cast line out to my streaming pc audio will buzz
what can i do now?
Hey just start fallow you but will like to see you make videos of this device so it will be cool if you make tutorial about, will be highly appreciated. Keep the good job.
To compare this to the Rode Streamer X- and this Bridgecaster, what are your thoughts? Which one is a better investment?
Cloudlifter? i see allways this complaint, it is $80 used, big deal. buy once and done. not a deal breaker for some of us.
I was wondering if this would work for a dual PC setup?

@@MachineDaena Okay, Thank you I have a dual PC setup using th Goxlr and that's how I was thinking it would work.
Bridge Cast X might be worthwhile
3:37 could u please do a video about how to use it on a streaming program and what streaming programn it works on?

Is it possible to plug it directly to the phone and stream without pc ?
