Virtual Devices allow you to route audio from individual applications on your computer to separate channels on the RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Duo. This gives you independent control over different audio sources, making them ideal for streaming, content creation and advanced recording workflows.
If you only use your RØDECaster for recording microphones, podcasts or video calls, you generally won't need Virtual Devices.
Who Should Use Virtual Devices?
- Windows users who want to route different applications (such as games, music players, Discord and web browsers) to separate channels.
- Streamers and content creators who want individual fader control over multiple computer audio sources during livestreams or recordings.
- Audio professionals who need to record or mix multiple software applications independently.
Windows vs macOS
Virtual Devices are most effective on Windows, where each application can be assigned to its own audio output using the operating system's built-in audio routing.
Please note: macOS doesn't provide the same per-application audio routing capabilities as Windows. To achieve similar functionality, you'll typically need third-party audio routing software.
Tip: If you're streaming or recording multiple applications, Virtual Devices let you adjust each source independently using the physical faders on your RØDECaster, giving you greater control over your final mix.
