How to Use Virtual Audio Cable with ASIO and Reaper

The RØDECaster Pro Podcast Production Studio is a powerful tool that offers a range of features to help you produce high-quality podcasts. One of its most useful features is multitrack recording, which allows you to record each individual track separately, giving you more control over your podcast's mix and edit in post-production.

To take advantage of this feature, you'll need to set up the RØDECaster Pro to use a virtual audio cable (VAC) with ASIO and Reaper. Here's how:

First, connect the RØDECaster Pro to your computer via USB. Once connected, you'll see an additional RØDECaster Pro USB output device appear on your computer, in addition to the regular stereo USB output.

To activate multitrack recording, go to the RØDECaster Pro's 'Advanced' settings and enable it. This will allow you to record not only the stereo mix of your podcast but also each individual track.

Next, download and install a virtual audio cable (VAC) such as ASIO4ALL or VB-Cable. These VACs act as a bridge between the RØDECaster Pro's multitrack output and Reaper's recording software.

Once you've installed the VAC, open Reaper and go to Preferences > Audio Devices. In this window, select the RØDECaster Pro's multitrack output as your playback device. You can do this by selecting 'RØDECaster Pro (Multitrack)' from the dropdown menu.

Now, go back to the RØDECaster Pro's 'Advanced' settings and set the USB output to 'Multitrack'. This will allow you to record each individual track separately into Reaper.

With your VAC installed and configured, you're now ready to start recording multitrack audio with the RØDECaster Pro. Simply open a new project in Reaper, create a new track for each channel of the RØDECaster Pro (e.g. track 1 for the left channel, track 2 for the right channel), and arm the tracks for recording.

When you're ready to start recording, click the record button in Reaper and the multitrack audio will be recorded from the RØDECaster Pro into each individual track.

By using a virtual audio cable with ASIO and Reaper, you can unlock the full potential of the RØDECaster Pro's multitrack recording feature, giving you more control over your podcast's mix and edit in post-production.
