What audio device are you using right now and would you recommend it to others?
Stream deck :)
Pls make a vid on the m-game solo
Wave XLR!🤩
Elgato Wave. To me they have the best audio software.
I stream deck, currently
It's crazy how something this expensive can just have discontinued support by the company
welcome to the future, it's great isn't it.
I think companies should be required to release the source code to the device after discontinuing them. The software support is what makes the device usable in the first place and if the code were released, the product wouldn’t have to die.
This guy promoted this product to so many got them to buy it now hes like its dead heres more to buy dont trust this guy
The reliance upon the software was the biggest reason I stayed away from the GoXLR. An analog USB mixer is a fraction of the price, and will only stop working when the hardware has a physical failure.
@@Benji2.0he doesn't control what a company does with it's products. 1-2 years ago, nothing competed with the goxlr price range. That's rapidly changed.
This really makes me think badly of TC Helicon as a company. They put out THE audio device for streamers, youtubers, podcasters, etc. and absolutely *dominated* the market right from the start. And now, they're just like "yeah, who cares?" Wow.
I'll use my GoXLR until I can't anymore, because I love the damn thing. I'll be sad to have to replace it, but I appreciate Harris for showing us all these options.
they make mostly hardware not software, once the have sold a hardware product they don't have to do anything to support the customer unless that product breaks in the warranty period. Software probably gave them high overheads as they would have had to have kept a team or even a single developer to keep the thing working.
The "streaming boom" is kindof over at this point, and whatever dollars are left in the market are being sucked up by Elgato and some of the more dedicated players like RODE and what not.
@@DamienLavizzoI think there will be another boom though. But not for another 2 years. New stuff will start coming out again which will push the boundaries
Try to read on maintaining a lucrative company instead of jumping into conclusion of "they don't care". Every big tech and small are having massive layoffs and resizing to not file for bankruptcy, but as a consumer you just think selfishly.
@@outrunpilot nah that’s a massive L take. GoXLR is nearly $500 and it’s not even 5 years old. They’ve barely made any quality of life changes to the product or improved it. So it’s not selfish, that’s just generally expected of a tech/audio company.
I think you need to update the video with a pinned comment. The GoXLR by TC Helicon is still receiving updates and will continue to get updates. Yes the team was laid off, but it's still getting updates.
The TC Helicon channel has a nice interview series up with the lead developer for the GoXLR utility app. Go check out the interview!
The Wave XLR is an excellent little device I think for a single pc setup whether you’re streaming, making videos, or on voice calls/meetings because it’s very simple and effective like you mentioned. If elgato made a stream deck ++ or something and added an xlr connection to the back idk how anything could beat it
Elgato will make a physical audio mixer with dials and faders and LCD keys, basically a fully customizable version of GoXLR but better and with wave link software. It's only a matter of time.
For anyone like me who needs a mixer, just buy a Stream Deck + for now for audio control and use wave link and wait for Elgatos next move, they will do it at some point
Do you have a dual pc setup? I just bought the stream deck plus and am wondering if I need to to get the chat link cable well to get the audio running properly from one PC to the other??
i've bought 2 and they both broke on me
They should open source the software. Hopefully one day that is a legal requirement for situations like this
Definitely this. Atleast allow the possibility for community to keep it running
I'm very happy you made this video. I'm planning to get a mixer along with other things to start streaming/content creating, and you listing out and explaining mixers one by one really helped me out, also making me help find in my price range, so again thank you for this!
What would you go for if you had a headphone dac/amp but also needed an audio interface for an xlr mic? Makes the choice a bit tricker
They had so much potential. Sad to see them having a "One hit wonder" then never innovating.
its gone open source so endless potential
@@SpuddyIRLis it open source now?
Most of the team left for beacn and it was a wrap they took the innovation with them
@@SpuddyIRL the open-source project isn't official, it's built by a few dedicated community devs as a way to preserve usage of the hardware cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS).
@@thatzaliasguy From what I read, that actually was the official thing that was worked on for Linux, now applied to linux, windows and macos
Personally I love the roland bridge cast, I got it so I could use both speakers and headphones easily, and it gives you a great amount of control with extremely easy setup. Personal fav, would recommend especially for music creators, however I recommend getting an xlr splitter or use a diff mic and use a different interface with a bit wider of a freq response so you can get a natural recording too
Great video! If you get the Elgato stream deck does it eliminate the need for the XLR device?
I’m essentially just looking to make better audio for my CZcams… Not even needing to stream, but most dynamic and condenser microphones don’t go to a 3.5 mm to hook directly into my camera and I want to record directly to my camera. I don’t want to have to put it together in Post.
@Senpai Harris, thank you so much for sharing this. I appreciate all the work that you put into your videos and streams. Would you mind elaborating a little bit on the software side of your set up? You mentioned that you use the rode mixer + beacn + streamdeck + combo. Which software do you use for mixing? I assume the rode one, but wanted to verify.
My use case for the GoXLR might be kinda niche, yes its an audio interface for my XLR mic but I also like the hardware volume controls, the multiple sound output devices and the ability to have headphones and speakers connected at the same time. I don't stream anymore but I love the GoXLR for the features that it left me with that I've gotten used to enjoying. I'll probably keep using it while it still continues to work ok. Unsurprisingly not many people cover which device or combination of devices will give me this weird combination of features I enjoy. That's ok, I'll figure it out, good video! I was very sad when I heard TC-Helicon was throwing the towel in.
Tbh, I would go with elgato. I've tried multiple rodecaster pro 2 and they all have an issue with the screen having lines on it. Their quality control is not the best and if you contact support don't expect to get an answer in like a week or maybe even more.. Terrible. The beacn one, I didn't even had an interest with. Because if they abandoned the go xlr, what are the chances that they will not abandon another project.
The Beacn is made by a different company all together that's why. They're just the same R&D guys who made the GoXLR. The whole IDEA of Beacn is they can continue what the were Denied with TC Helicon. The entire R&D department of TC Helicon were essentially fired after the GoXLR Mini was released.
I love watching your videos half for the amazing points of view for the products that you review and half for the integrations for streaming that I never would have found or even thought of on my own.
Really like the format of your videos. I picked up the rodecaster duo from the GoXLR mini wanted something with no fuss and couldn't be happier.
Hey Harris have you tried the new streamer mode in the steelseries sonar software?
Welp... Gotta update my GOXLR then I guess...
I'm personally using a Rode PodMic hooked up to a Yamaha ZG01 in tandem with a Stream Deck Plus. I was using a Wave:3 for a while, and I absolutely fell in love with the Wave:Link suite, but I ultimately wanted an XLR setup and had my eye on the GoXLR for years. Ultimately, I was your review that convinced me to go for the ZG01 instead. The biggest draws for me were the onboard output swapping between headphones and speakers, surround sound emulation through stereo, and the integrated HDMI Switcher. My monitors at my desk are only 1080p, so I don't need to worry about the limitations of HDMI 2.0 for the passthrough. As for audio routing, I have all my game audio coming directly through the Game output to take advantage of surround sound, while all other audio passes through Wave Link. I can then adjust the levels of each channel as I see fit, then send the monitor mix to the ZG01, while also still keeping the Stream Mix that goes to OBS.
I'm still really happy with the Avermedia Nexus tbh. Especially since they added a routing table. Been getting consistent updates too. Does everything I want, and works as a solution for 2 PC setups too. I feel like it got a bad rap on launch. The Stream Deck+ has some unbeatable value for anyone wanting to use their own interface or their own USB mic too.
AX310 for the Win! yep, they keep updating.
There should be a law that whenever this kind of thing happens, all of their stuff gets open sourced so the community can maintain it should they want to
Thank you for everything you do! I absolutely love your content! Idk if it's possible but would you have an idea of how to get out of a shadow ban?
Love your knowledge one of my favorite creators ... you've helped me alot, been a sub...... ☝🏽 QUESTION lol ... I stream with an Xbox, MacBook air laptop and obs ... with a gaming monitor .... I want to get the mix create but I don't know if it's compatible with my setup....
Do you know it the mix create works with mackbook, Xbox and obs together?
Or is it just for windows?
For those on a budget, the Fifine Gaming Audio MIxer is essentially a GoXLR without software for $45. Can even do two PC setups, has custom sound pads and several voice changer options. Also includes faders for the control options.
I got this mixer and their AM8 mic and it’s actually amazing how good it is for a new streamer.
just ordered one, grab the AM8 a few weeks back then saw this was a thing as well so thought why not.
@@RetrospectsToo it's a game changer for new creators! Physical audio controls make a big difference!
I've got their K683A mic. May look into their mixer
@@RetrospectsTooWhat software can I use?
One thing I never see mentioned in videos about audio devices like this is console and pc audio compatibility. That was something the goxlr did that to my knowledge no other device does without having to jump through hoops. As somebody who does not care about streaming but plays primarily on pc it would be nice to have a device that could route my audio from my consoles and pc all to one output so I could hear it at once. Outside of the goxlr I don't know of one that does and maybe one of the ones in this video work that way but its never brought up and there is no documentation online to suggest it will work. Would be nice to get a video on the best way to get console and pc audio going at the same time.
The rode caster can do this any device that has multi audio in can.
So I already have the Rode PodMic and I'm on a single PC setup. Looking to replace my GoXLR mini, there's a ton of info here so I'm not sure what would be the best option, thoughts?
Interesting use of the Beacn mic with the Stream Deck + and Wave Link Software combo. I must check that out.
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the incredible content you produce. Your videos have been a constant source of inspiration and knowledge for me. I admire your expertise and the effort you put into creating valuable tutorials.
I have been following your channel closely and noticed your previous video on connecting and programming the GoXLR within the Windows settings. It was incredibly helpful and detailed, guiding viewers through the entire process step by step. Your approach makes complex tasks seem much more accessible, and I genuinely appreciate your teaching style.
I recently purchased a Rodecaster Pro 2 and would like to connect it to my PC while optimizing the Windows settings for the best performance. As someone who values your expertise, I was wondering if you could create a similar video for the Rodecaster Pro 2. A step-by-step guide on how to connect the device to the PC and program it within the Windows settings would be immensely valuable to me and many other viewers.
I understand that creating such content requires time and effort on your part, but I believe it would greatly benefit your audience, including myself. Your ability to break down complex processes into easy-to-follow instructions sets you apart, and I trust your guidance.
Thank you for considering my request, Harris. Your videos have been instrumental in expanding my knowledge and helping me navigate the world of audio equipment. I eagerly look forward to any future content you create, and I appreciate your dedication to delivering high-quality tutorials.
Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you once again!
I second this suggestion! Would love to see a video about that!
Lovely chat gpt comment haha
I've had the Beacn Mic/StreamDeck combo since your last video you did mentioning them. I moved on from a GoXLR and RodePodMic to it and absolutely loved it. So much less space taken up and works amazingly IMO - big big vouch for that setup
you can only use a usb mic though? It seems sad to leave my current mic behind that I use cause more money involved
I've just picked up and Audient EVO 8. Seems to do pretty much everything these ones do, but I need to do some more playing around to see it's full potential
That B-Roll shot of your guitars at 12.15 is stunning
What I would really love to see are good alternatives for the VoiceFX/sampler features of the GoXLR. I make such use of the sampler aspect especially and voicemod for me has such a delay to it it makes a lot of it unusable for me.
Just got myself a Mackie DLZ Creator. I use Linux, so being able to record audio to a USB stick, as the USB C drivers are for Windows only. Amazing mic sound which I can tweak if need be in Audacity. I paid £769.00 pounds for mine and am blown away with the performance of it. So much better than the GOXLR ever was.
Very nice, it's looks awesome! I have the Roder Rodcaster II and I got rid of my GoXLR about a month ago. The sound quality is superior and I know that Mackie has to be amazing. I love the 10" screen it has.
Yeah!
Which one would be best to use for the shure SM7B mic?
Thanks for the video! Long time watcher first time commenter. I picked up the Logitech Blue Sona and use the Focusrite 2i2 interface, love it but was wondering what you would recommend for something with a little more control? Using light host for my VSTs and voicemeeter to control everything. It's a pain. I'm a noob at audio and I know it can be a million times better than it is now. Thanks Harris!
I just picked up the GOXLR with the stand and the off/on switch for 200$ used.I think I got my money's worth.
this video did not age well...The GOXLR is back!
I have a Rodecaster P2, and I have to say I'm still learning how to fully use it as I have no other experience with hardware like this. But, what it can do and what I've learned about it so far is amazing. An absolutely awesome piece of hardware!
Thank you for the advise. I'm still new to the streaming/content creator world and me personally, I think I'll benefit from the BEACN audio mixer but, I'm also going to look at getting the BEACN mic. Now, I need to find a 2nd camera, which I believe you have a video on. You're my go to when it comes to streaming/content creator set up advise.
I think the Rodecaster Duo is probably the one Id choose. I had a full size GoXLR from day one and I was honestly upset when the mini came out because I never really used all the dials and gags the full size one came with. The Rodecaster Duo still has that gimmick potential, but also in a smaller form factor it looks like, and Rode is an industry standard in audio. So glad this video came out, was set on the the full size Rodecaster Pro II because I didn’t know the Duo was a thing. Thanks Harris, saved me $200 👍🏻
Rode Streamer X 😊
Rode has horrible software update support. Its update will discontinue very fast.
January 2024.
The GOXLR is very much not dead!
oh? How?
@@unlockthepicture I just got one 6 days ago, and while for damn sure is it scary and overwhelming trying to grips with it
And there is one thing about It I don't like (getting the sliders to work in a set way for my OBS twitch streams, but that's more my OCD), overall I am VERY happy I got it!
Has elevated my Shure SM7B so much!
So I'm using the Scarlett Solo Red, but iv yet to acquire a mic for it, any ideas? Also a small content creator, and of these would you recommend, open question?
Great video. I almost grabbed the go XLR for prime Day and I came across your video. Any suggestions for a mixer that has an echo effect and a repeater when you speak in the mic? Small streamer here ... Thanks again!
We need an open source software that is able to communicate with all these devices. Since they probably all communicate via MIDI, its a shame there isn't much software like this.
Eh, probably not with midi, especially not audio.
it already exists. GoXLR Utility has been endorsed by the team and is open-sourced/on GitHub already.
This is why hardware solutions will always be superior to these digital toys.
And this is why you'll be stuck in the past while we enjoy the modern conveniences and features that traditional solutions can't even touch.
@@ShaedStealer Until you lose support.
So I just bought the stream deck plus. Very excited! I also have a dual pc setup, so do I need to buy the chat link cable? I already have an hd60s as a capture card as well. Referring specifically to the diagram.
another amazing video harris i really love all the ones u choose and getting an idea on what i want to get so again thanks for making this amazing videos
I feel this is quite an extreme take since the linux developer released go xlr utility and it has all features from beta and is open source so has endless opportunity's through the community now. Also does beacn not suffer a lot latency issues for dual pc set ups
100% this
No offense Harris, but you need to do your research better.. it is crazy to me, how the Roland Bridge Cast is not mentioned, literally better than all mentioned in this video, for game streamers & content creators, it's by no means perfect, but it is TRULY amazing & at a great price. So yes, you definitely missed an important one.
10:44
@@Auroz You are right, I literally watch the entire thing, but missed that. Nonetheless, he mention it for 2 seconds, it deserves way more attention. I take back the critism of Harris though, I didn't notice.
Hope he will cover it in the future though, I own it and I've tried all the things from Elgato, Beacn, Rodecaster Duo, GO XlR and I sent them all back... the Roland Bridge Cast, I kept & it's amazing.
I was looking and looking for something to really fit my need to replace my GOXLR mini, from the space saver, with the sliders, but nothing that got me excited from the top companies to want me to move yet, so it looks like Ill be riding this train until the end. Thanks for amazing videos, and ill be on the look out for future videos reviews - Side Note: I joined Tangia (SOOOO SICK), great add on for my Stream
I'd love to see you do another review of the Avermedia AX310 again, from what I've read they might have opened up plugin development to open source? That seemed to be one of the biggest complaints people had about the software, as well as the delayed reading of sound levels.
Great video! A video on how you setup your Elgato gear to work your Beacn mic would be great!
"The post made by an ex employee who was a DEV of TC-Helicon, the company released their Canada support department who was working on a version of the GOXLR software to be compatible with Linux and Mac. After the team got fired, a DEV went on to say that the GOXLR software will no longer be getting support and the post picked up steam on social media forcing TC-Helicon to release a statement on their twitter page letting people know a few things:
From TC-Helicon's Twitter post:
-Your GoXLR is not Dead!
-Their gaming product line will still get support.
-Its true that they released their Canada team but doesnt mean they are no longer supporting the software, just means they are changing dev teams.
The DEV who made the post with the news of the team getting fired created a discord and has now released an open source version of the software which is a carbon copy of the original GoXLR software with additional features. People in the discord are allegedly making donations for said DEV to keep working on the software for future Windows Updates. Not sure what the legalities of using a proprietary software to be released as open source when TC-Helicon is still selling GoXLR Minis and GoXLR on their site and on Amazon, you would think if it was discontinued it would be pulled from those sites.
Something to note here, the GOXLR has NOT had an update in a about a year and a half and its still working just fine...so dont jump the gun just yet and wait for TC-Helicon to actually say that they wont support the product any longer before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars on new hardware.
Now, say that TC-Helicon doesnt come through with their support and your GoXLR no longer works...then look at the second option which is the DEV who released the open source software...again, not sure what the legalities of that is as of right now since TC-Helicon has not officially discontinued products and they are still being sold...but just keep your options open.
If neither one of those options work, then yes, take a look at this video and purchase a new piece of hardware that offers you the best options and that is within your budget...but dont buy something before a final announcement has been made by the company, your GoXLR may still have plenty of years to go."
This is a comment from @madskizophrenik, I'm just passing it on.
I think the current best starting srtup is the RODE Podmic USB and the Stream Deck+. The Podmic is so good, and with it being a USB mic now, it’s basically a no-brainer. The Stream Deck+ is also pretty good, but I think this video speaks on that already for me.
Bought it a few days ago because of your amazing guides and had to cancel it before it even shipped once the news dropped a day later lol, hope you make an amazing guide about the rodecaster pro 2 like u did for the goxlr! ❤
What do you think about the "Roland Bridge Cast"? I dont see much people talk about it and I wonder why? Is the hardware or software not as good as in the ones from other companies like Elagato or Rode?
So what do you plug your XLR cable into? If you’re using the Elgato SD Plus? Or is the beacon a usb interface? I want at the very least for my setup to have the feature of muting myself from my discord call but my stream can still hear me. Or pressing one button and my Spotify is muted. The GoXLR made things way easier and way more involved haha
Yooo is that a music man majesty in the background? You have good taste my friend
I would love a video going more in depth into how you setup your audio with the guitars and the mics, how you stream and record live guitars, etc...
Exactly the video I wanted as a GoXLR user. Just a shame it never got the support it deserved. Thanks for the help Harris!
When I was looking for a good audio device about six months ago, I wanted the GoXLR, but it seemed like it was going to be axed soon, so I looked for alternatives. I went with the RODECaster Pro II. It had more packed into it than I'll ever use, but it is phenomenal. A few months after I bought it, RODE announced the RODECaster Duo. That is more the size of what I would need, but wasn't going to deal with selling my RCP2 and buying the Duo. So I'm still using the RCP2 and love it.
Mine died after only two years, and there are tons of reddit posts with the exact same issue. Mine disconnects anytime it's touched. I'm guessing they bailed when everyone's started going out around the same time.
@senpai What kind of mic would you recommend for PCVR streaming? I use a Quest 2 wirelessly to my PC, and the built-in mic is not good. Would a ceiling-mounted shotgun mic be ineffectual?
Why do you still use the Beacn when you have the new Logitech dynamic mic? Just wondering if the Beacn is still better?
I just purchased a vintage Shure 1950’s mic and want to use it for streaming. I have a stream deck +. What would you suggest I use to connect this XLR mic to my system? I also have a ATEM Extereme ISO. I’m new to streaming and love your channel and help.
I personally use a midi keyboard (LPD8 MkII), an audio interface for my mic (behringer u-phoria um2) and VoiceMeeter. I absolutely love this setup. Used it prior to even hearing about GoXLR and prefer it over my GoXLR Mini. The LPD8 MkII has 8 volume knobs that you can set up to be used with VoiceMeeter and it's audio channels and it has 8 pads that can be set up to use VoiceMeeter that you can set up for macros, or mute certain audio channels.
This is truly sad news to hear about TC. You have brought a lot of options on the table but what would be a quality comparison to using the XLR with a studio mic? I would like to continue to use my SB7
So is your Mackie outputting sound to two different computers at the same time? I'd like to be able to share some of my audio peripherals across computers since I stream from windows but do all my music recording on my mac through Logic.
Also curious what you use for your guitar rig.
Right now for my setup I have the GoXLR original and a Stream Deck +, for my guitar I'm using a Pod Go with a handful of separate distortion pedals, which I have set up as an input device with monitoring through OBS Studio, I have a few apps that come through the Music channel on my GoXLR but I use the dials on the stream deck to adjust the OBS volume (guitars) against the other music apps (spotify, web browser). I get stereo guitar sound by using my Pod Go as a separate audio interface through USB
Great video as always! What are your thoughts on the M-GAME RGB Dual USB Audio Interface Mixer for Streaming?
I feel that a decent option that should be mentioned is the Steel Series headsets. The pro even lets you use all 4 audio inputs while in ps4 mode so it’s perfect for a dual pc setup. Usb to stream pc, line out/optical out from gaming pc to line in/optical in on the pro base station, and then you can connect your phone with Bluetooth
Question: Would I be able to use the beacn mix create with the fifine sc3? I'm thinking of upgrading my setup and fifine is looking to be a good investment right now.
Thanks for the video. I recently switched to a combination of Rodecaster pro II and the Elgato streamDeck+. Really love the combination…
The Stream deck in general is a great production tool. Since i don't stream or anything, I use it for my DAW (Reaper) as a controller, to control transport and other small things (one button click, instead of moving the mouse/keyboard) while i play my instruments.
For my first streaming PC, El Gato Facecam, Wave 1 Mic, and StreamElements have plenty of features for me to do my simple stream with plenty of digital updates to keep me learning. I'm more than happy with these three tools several years later still 👍
Its good to see some hight quality hardware videos coming out a bit more frequently again :)
I've been interested in the Rodecaster Duo for some time now. If I'm streaming using OBS Studio, and I adjust any volume levels with the sliders on the rode, will they adjust the volume in the stream as well like the GoXLR does?
my question is if you using the beacon and a mic you like and its xlr what interface do you add to it ? scarlet 2i2? or a elgato? whats the go to after that?
I am glad that I moved to a Wave XLR set up using a set up you recommended with the StreamDeck Plus
Thankyou for the super informative vid. Now I'm more confused, however you have helped me shortlist. 👌🏼
I like your videos, I've come here to learn and get educated on things I do not know about and it is quite helpful a lot of the time. However, I think when you said "high quality mic audio" not being a top priority is you're using a device like the presonus, it tells me you have not done enough research. I recommend you test it and compare its XLR inputs and overall mic quality to that of the other interfaces you mentioned. I was unable to find you ever messing with their products so I was just curious how you came to that assessment? I think some would argue I may use the presonus if I care more about overall mic and voice quality vs the extras for content creating in other devices.
I just popped on to try to find a replacement. BLESS
The funny part is you could always have faders in the past. Example for me is the Soundcraft MTK12 (or 22 if you need), which is a 12 channel (6 pair stereo) mixer. This is "old" by your standards but is ana amazing pro level board and was prices in the $350 range when it came out. Every channel, every mix, and every output shows up in windows as it's own audio source both in and out. It's insane. I use it to run two PCs (gaming and recording), with condenser microphones, patching to both discord and game chat from the same mic(s), sound source from either PC for backgorund music and what have you, including patching in discord chat and others... and effects loop, mix minus options, and so on.
GoXLR and others are the "simple" choices, but not always the most flexible choices.
Im looking to get the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 ohm today since it’s prime day sale, same price as 80 ohm so why not, would you recommend one of these products for those headphones? If not what amp/dac would you recommend. I’m also not looking to spend a crazy amount on top of the 150 for the headphones.
Being a musician and recording music I guess these aren’t applicable cause I’ve got a 16 channel mixer, 18i20 with outboard gear.. is there an advantage to having a separate stream deck with faders and such?
If I heard correct I can grab the Beacn mic and the stream deck + and be set up? I already have a stream deck would this still be the way to go?
Excellent content! Thank you, Harris.
I am trying to setup one as well and I don't know where to start do you have any tips or any more videos I could watch to figure things out?
I just decided last night to reset and start my obs from scratch...perfect timing on the ad 🤣🤣
So if yiu have the Elgato stream deck plus, yiu can use the software and use the DSP on the beacn mic??
Wow, I came here looking for content creator-focused audio interfaces and leave with a mountain of inspiration. As an aspiring CZcamsr in the songwriter and guitar niche, it's very motivating to see someone as skilled as you who also happens to be a guitar player. With my use case requiring a vocal mic and stereo guitar from my Line 6 Helix, a setup like yours looks like it will do just the trick.
I appreciate your level of detail and transparency. All the best to you!
another good option on the simpler side is the Turn Up Mixer - i have it and its easy to set up and use great for first mixer
So I saw a video recently about the Roland VR-1HD AV Streaming Mixer what do you think about that?
For the elgato one, is there a way to integrate it with obs and if so, can it capture discord or console party chats? This is something I've been having issues with for months. I just bought the capture card and chat link pro, but I'm kinda uncertain that they'll do what I need them to do.
how do you route everything to your streaming pc? im looking into a dual pc setup but have yet find a way to send all my audio (from DAW and games i play) to the second pc. cheers!
Which one has a sampler that works the way as the goxlr? The on the fly sample recording and playback are crucial to me and I've had a hard time finding this out.
So for someone like me who just needs a professional sounding mic for business purposes with a view to touch on podcasting once or twice am I better off with one of these like Beacn or a proper interface like the Focusrite Scarlett?
I would love to hear ur thoughts about the sound blaster gc7 and the fifine sc 3.
right now , after round about 10 years, i want to build me a moody office and gaming space. At the moment i think about a Combo like the tyga 300 R, Wave 3 & stream Deck plus (for easy access of mixing different Audio sources and also use the versatile usecase for productivity). Would u recommand to add an amp/dac to boost the sound quality ? I‘m open for ideas :)
Greetings from germany✌️
love to see a video showing how you connected your set up and programmed the stream deck
Have you looked into the Roland Bridge Cast at all? I’ve only just discovered myself and would love to learn more. It seems to do exactly what I wished the RCPII did
You put me on the goxlr mini and I do not regret even today, it’s sad to see not support but I really enjoyed the device thank you I may have given up on streaming or content creation but the goxlr mini just personal use is amazing being able to split my game audio, mic sens, music volume, etc with 4 sliders is amazing thank you again for recommending me a great device
