If you're one of the folks that have recently bought a Røde NT-USB Mini - and judging by our review you'd be mad not to take home one of the best budget USB microphones - then you are in for a treat. Røde has just launched Connect podcasting and streaming software that can connect up to four NT-USB Minis at once. And the best part is that you can download it for free.
Connect takes its design cues from the Rødecaster Pro with multi-channel recording, broadcast-style faders and level metering. Other features include mute buttons, plus virtual channels for adding remote guests and integrating other streaming platforms.
Combined with up to four NT-USB Mini mics, Connect promises fuss-free performance and no complicated routing to suit all your lives treaming needs.
The software also unlocks the untapped processing power of your NT-USB Mini with the addition of a compressor and noise gate, plus the legendary Aphex Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects that can be found in the RødeCaster Pro.
