[@DJSkandalous]

Really great quality video and editing! Keep at this, you will blow up in time!

[@KickedTripodYT]

Yo thanks so much! Making videos has been a lot of fun for me!

[@yipsiuhay]

There's so much to learn. Thank you for making this video!

[@shastaa]

actually really good advice in a clearly spoken and concise video. no silly long intro/loud music/cuts every 5 seconds. watched the whole thing, thanks a lot. subbed

[@ninety5gaming70]

EXTREMELY helpful video. Had no idea that you still had access to multi-track recording for post production. Great video!

[@KalCLF]

The last tip for recording is what I have been looking for!

[@atreides-]

Great video, first time viewer!

[@XDeadzX]

That additional audio devices as an element trick is wonderful. I'm glad I stumbled on this video for that tip alone.

[@LukeJohnson33]

Hey Kicked! Found this organically and used to listen to you on your Hearthstone podcast all the time. Happy to see your channel doing well!

[@KickedTripodYT]

Hey Luke! Thanks a ton. The channel is definitely small at the moment, but hopefully as I create more videos it'll continue to grow!

[@maxwell-cole]

Great video. Very helpful.

[@0ddbotIzzhot]

dude you are very underrated..

[@KickedTripodYT]

D'awww! Thanks a ton!

[@0ddbotIzzhot]

@@KickedTripodYT Np!

[@LouStreets]

great job bro, nice to come support another quality presented small channel!!!!

[@TheHighGiant]

A big thank you for sorting out "mic monitoring detected" in your monitor the right way part of the video. Peace.

[@i-k1567]

I’d just prefer if u could lower the audio of the video since is pretty loud compared to other videos and I had to lower mi headphones volume quite a lot for it to be pleasant. Other than that I love this video :)

[@KickedTripodYT]

This video is maximized to KZbin’s specifications. I would be a bad audio channel if I didn’t have properly maximized audio. :) tell your other KZbin channels to turn up!!!!

[@Evliveoyuncu]

Cool video. And nice production quality too

[@DKTD23]

Harris Heller made that suggestion to Elgato to have it retain your adjusted slides even if you have them linked together. Pretty cool that they took his feedback.

[@KickedTripodYT]

For sure! I wish it would preserve the relative relationship rather than the delta, though. I think that feature could be improved further.

[@JustStony]

the last part help me so much because i was wondering how i can get my Elgato capture card audio to play separate

[@MrLeo000]

Tks! Just bought the wave 3! This helped me a lot!

[@BrianCalderon]

Thank you for the power explanation! This video has some great tips.

[@Zariwalaa]

Doing great job brother...

[@brezdisdat]

great vid man. great info! thank you. So I can use the wave link program even if I don't own a wave mic, correct?

[@iStagnate]

Tip for anyone trying to organize the stems, just click and drag from anywhere on the stem to move and organize!

[@csmita1]

Really geat video.. I just have one feedback. You should boost your mic volume because I can't hear it very well even with earbuds

[@KickedTripodYT]

You might want to check your settings! This video is maximized at -5dB.

[@csmita1]

@@KickedTripodYT Ok thank you!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@HappyEd1ts]

Why only 1k subs. (subbed btw

[@akshayk9091]

Nice video bro 👍🏻

[@Lord_gen]

thanks dude

[@Anthemic]

I wish that the GoXLR had the same Sub Mix linking functionality that ElGato has. That is my only gripe with my GoXLR currently. Everything else is great.

[@hennyless]

can you do a video just on what is the best settings

[@KickedTripodYT]

Wave Link doesnt really have best settings. It’s just setting it up with your computer for what you need.

[@UntouchableN8IV]

you can move them around now

[@somhaud]

how do u not have more subs?????? keep it up only a matter of time

[@Nottz4Lyf18]

Is the browser version the same as the downloadable software for windows/MacOS can anyone explain the difference in the versions please

[@Jaktechnologies]

You can move steams

[@KickedTripodYT]

Yep, this was just updated in June. This video was created the week(ish) the Wave mics came out.

[@mob7782]

don't have this but am very interested in purchasing ...

[@DoorMatt-Live]

Really great video but Is their a way I can set the multitrack outputs to be recorded but not sent to twitch? so that they are there in the recording but audio is not being doubled up and output to twitch?

[@SaltyySavage]

can you use this with any mic this software

[@iCamSkiEz]

Are you able to clarify if you can seperate each audio mix to different tracks in OBS? For example Mic to one track, desktop audio, discord

[@Giabaonauy]

Do u think u can use other usb-mics with that software? Or do I need too get a wave mic? Nice video btw!

[@KickedTripodYT]

A.N Travel currently you need to have the Wave mic.

[@the_RCB_films]

Wave mic unlocks the software, but you can use any mic, as long as the wave mic is plugged in. Which means you can route a higher quality mic with its own mixer and everything, route that to Nvidia broadcast, and then nvidia broadcast to wave link. lmao its silly, but holy crap is it amazing that way. But yeah it can use any mic as long as you have the wave. Which btw just set up a bunch of mics all around you and give your self 360 degrees of audio >:)

[@chubbstep]

You didn't bring up the ridiculous audio delay when using an external audio source aka a DAC

[@KickedTripodYT]

I did in my full review video. Though I’m not sure 35ms is ridiculous for anything other than monitoring your voice. If it’s longer than that you might have something flopped in your settings.

[@qualityblood5651]

I wanna ask something. Does the Wave link work when we're not streaming, maybe like recording with Streamlabs/OBS studio or when we're recording a clip with Lowkey/Geforce Experience?

[@DishonestTrack6]

What should I do about echo? By that I mean my friend's voice keeps echoing. (Note he's on Xbox one)

[@onebrazilian7362]

Mann I'm struggling! Mine was running perfectly until just now.. No sound is coming to my headphones, its picking up sound like I can see the green bars moving up and down but no sound to my headphones.. I tested everything, changed everything re installed it and still nothing... I am usually pretty good with this things but I'm dead in the water with this problem man.. Any help will be much appreciated

[@ThUgAnGeL247]

Can wave link capture party chat on console without splitter? Xbox or ps4?

[@KickedTripodYT]

Having a Wave Mic doesn't do anything to help you route your console to your computer. Once you've routed the audio to your computer though, you can use the Wave Link App to control the volumes. You can send party chat through HDMI/Optical and it'll capture your game/party chat/game chat together, otherwise you'll need a Chat Splitter/USB audio card of sorts. NOTE: USB audio cards are only supported by PS4 and not Xbox.

[@ThUgAnGeL247]

Okay thanks

[@RawDawginRoLo]

I know you can run the xbox game chat software through the computer and as far as game audio goes you could also run an aux cable from the monitor to the pc to get the game audio to run on the pc.

[@Cloutty]

my music i play from google chrome in recordings and streams sound weird, but in my ears it's fine. Please help!

[@goodyuk09]

From my stream everyone says I keep cutting out? From time to time is there a way to fix this?

[@felipecampos4214]

Im still a bit confused about the power levels. Can anyone help me? My headset is connected directly to the mic (wave 1). What should my "windows sound settings" should be? Is it better if I leave all my programs at 100%, same with the master level of my PC and just change volumes through the wave link? Or what should the levels be? And also, pls, the volume wheel in the mic, does it just change my headset volume or is directly affecting master levels for everything else? Thanks in advance!

[@erkyswerk]

Can I hear game audio through the 0 latency monitor jack?

[@KickedTripodYT]

A 0-latency monitoring jack is called that because your voice is only processed on the microphone and then immediately shot out of the jack, whereas non-0-latency monitoring jacks go from your mic, to your computer, through some driver or software, and then back out through the mic (adding latency). All of your computer audio doesn't have latency because it isn't taking the extra trip from your mic to the computer and back. Sorry that's a long answer to say, "Yes, you can listen to game audio through the 0-latency monitoring jack without latency."

[@literallyjustchickensandwich]

I would like to use the headphone jacked on the mic, but they have the terrible rustle noises. Am I the only one?

[@KickedTripodYT]

Probably not the "only" one, but I can't say it is common. Obvious steps are to try various headphone cables (specifically TRS and TRRS). I believe the Wave mics only have a TRS jack while many computers have TRRS inputs for microphone inputs.

[@literallyjustchickensandwich]

@@KickedTripodYT Gotcha

[@vianyen9585]

How do you give more power to your headphones ? I have a problem where my stream is very loud but my headphones are low

[@KickedTripodYT]

There's a few potential issues: 1. Make sure your headphone volume is turned all the way up in the Elgato Wave app as well as in Windows preferences for your headphone output. Also make sure that you set the volume on the Elgato Wave mic (assuming its a Wave:3). 2. Make sure your adjusting for your headphones and your stream separately. With submixes in the Elgato Wave Link app, you can turn it up as loud as you want in your headphones and turn it down for your stream. 3. You have high impedance headphones that need more juice than the mic can provide in which case there is not a straightforward solution.

[@vianyen9585]

@@KickedTripodYT thank you so much that helped out a lot !

[@alliance_365_6]

Is there a way to turn off the Wave 3 or doI have to unplug it each time I dont want to use it?

[@KickedTripodYT]

The Wave 3 will turn off if your motherboard ceases to send power to it. I can honestly say I've never turned mine off.

[@mastertrainer108]

Quick queston: if i get a wave 1 will i have the full wavelink functionality as far as controlling each audio source? or is that only with the wave 3?

[@KickedTripodYT]

The features you get in the software are exactly the same. What you don't get are the additional control knob on the front, the capacitive mute, and the higher bitrate.

[@StudioAREshorts]

I have no idea how to use the fucking "Zero latency monitoring" thing. I don't hear anything if I mute the Wave 3 in my headphones :s helmp

[@KickedTripodYT]

You need to have your headphones plugged directly into the Elgato Wave:3 microphone. From there, on the microphone, make sure you've selected the 3rd icon (the one that looks like an X) and adjust the 0-latency-monitoring balance as you see fit. If it's all the way to the right, you wont hear any of the 0 latency monitoring. If it's all the lights are lit up, you wont hear your microphone at all via 0-latency monitoring. If none of the lights are on, you wont hear any of your PC sounds.

[@yazentdm6334]

has it released yet??

[@KickedTripodYT]

Yes it has. It’s going in and out of stock different places, but I’ve seen it on both Amazon and Best Buy in the US.
