Rodecaster Pro Multichannel Not Working Anymore

Hello, I just got a new Windows computer, and multichannel recording from my RODECaster Pro (RCP) isn’t working on the new computer. It worked fine on the old one! Both computers are running Windows 11. Here’s what I did:

  • I made sure the “Multichannel Recording” option was switched on for USB
  • I updated the firmware for the RCP
  • I downloaded the latest version of Audacity
  • In the audio settings, I selected Windows WASAPI as the host, and the RCP as the playback device

Now here’s the problem: For the recording device, RODECaster Pro Multichannel isn’t even an option. It’s just Stereo. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audacity, turning everything off and back on, and turning the USB multichannel setting off and back on in the RCP. What am I missing??

Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much!

Disclaimer - I’ve never done any multitrack recording.

It seems that multitrack recording has always been a weak area for Audacity (and a low priority for the developers) and judging from the lack of discussion on the forum, very few people here are doing it. :frowning:

There is a little of information in the Audacity Manual.

The USB device may be hidden / disabled, see … https://youtu.be/or4mQZ5sPmw?&t=35
You have to enable it before Audacity can record from it.

Also you may have to give permission for an app (like Audacity) to get access to the USB audio …
