the rodecaster can connect to two computers, and we are both generally in the same discord call. so we have both microphones routed into one input for a computer, and the other person joins with their mic muted and the audio just comes from one client. since the mixing is local there's no echo. email me if you have more questions :)

So both mics will pick up both people (at least somewhat, in the same room) - but because there is no, I assume 20-100ms latency going through the system, to discord, and back - it avoids a slight difference in timing of the two mics picking up the same sound slightly differently. Is that right?

Very cool!

Not in the same league or form factor, but I have an old Jabra 65 headset, and the noise canceling is amazing. I can be playing my cello while unmuted on a call, and nobody can hear it.

I know headsets aren't everyone's cup of tea, but a mic close to the source (your mouth) with good noise canceling is a solid solution.
