If beacn were to release a GOXLR style device with all the same features of the studio…that would be king.

[@CastellaTV]

u do know BEACN is the main team behind GOXLR right? BEACN were created by former TC Helicon engineers. So i doubt they will do something like GOXLR again. That is the reason why they started something new. They wanted to make a more plug and play system without knobs and stuff to make it easiere for streamers and people who doesnt have the expertise to use more advanced equipment with knobs and such

[@DviLGamesTV]

@@CastellaTV aware, all the more reason to create a device with more faders and voice effects. They have the experience.

[@CastellaTV]

@@DviLGamesTV i understand your point. but it wont happen. They might do like elgato and make connected version of beacn studio and beacn mix like with Elgato XLR and streamdeck. but dont think u will see physical faders and such since that is why they made BEACN. to be more plug and play with effect, processing and such being done inside the device in their software and achieve a smaller and more simple finish on the device

[@R3DST1CK]

@@CastellaTVyou have no idea what they will or won’t do. Just stop. You don’t have insider info

[@R3DST1CK]

The go xlr is still king.

[@UG_Commentary]

I gotta say, using the ad read as a demo for the voice quality is an ingenious way to get people to watch through it

[@TremorBoria]

Yo. I LOVE doing the baked in ad with the gear for the video, Fabulous. Kept me tuned in, Didn't have to skip anything, I really appreciate that, man. I have attention issues.

[@vapingamers]

Hands Down the Roland! That is exactly what I need! Thanks for doing this.

[@Soul47]

Senpai always got the highest quality videos 🙏🔥 Appreciate you guys ♥️

[@LogisticAtom]

Iv been waiting to upgrade my audio for ages! It’s amazing how quickly this stuff innovates and gets better! All ALMOST at the common streamers price!

[@CoalitionGaming]

Im still hugely partial to the Avermedia Nexus. Can handle gain hungry mics like the SM7B, has hardware knobs for volume control, can do submixes, has stream-deck like touchscreen functionality, and soft buttons, can support a 2 PC audio config, eventually got a routing table added, and honestly looks pretty cool. Would have been nice to see it in this video, even as a revisit/update considering you didn't have a great time with it on launch. I've been using it ever since it came out and it will be very difficult for me to switch off of it.

[@mofuclarisu]

Nexus feels like a more complete all in one IMO + support for VTube Studio

[@koleoverby8313]

I was actually looking at purchasing a nexus but didnt end up pulling the trigger as any media coverage about it is like 3 years old and mostly negative. I even posted on the avermedia subreddit asking for current opinions on the product and was ignored. As what seems to be a user since launch, how is it? does the "streamdeck" screen even have any useful functionality? like is it supported by first/third party developers with plugins for obs and so on? Looking to replace my 7 year old focusrite scarlett 2i2 that i purchased second hand at a pawn shop at that time. Idk if its dying or if its just a bug in firmware as it hasnt been updated in a long time but its giving me issues. Interested in this product because of the dual purpose of it.

@@koleoverby8313 Honestly if you are looking to expand in the future, I think you should go with second hand GOOD xlr interface & streamdeck+. as you can see good audio interface will last a long time, while having more quality component inside The thing with Nexus is like all "all in one device" if one part is failing/broken you are done no backup... this is just my opinion you can do your own research so you know what to expect with your purchase

[@mofuclarisu]

@@koleoverby8313 my reply got deleted :( tldr just go with streamdeck+ & other interface xlr it will last you longer

[@Queenivys]

for how long ive been watching the channel i never once heard anything about focusrite scarlets. harris please do a video on one of them especially for holiday/black friday/cyber monday coming up

[@SpaceNewsPod]

Agree with you. Harris has been ignoring the OG. Been using my Scarlet for about 4 years. Very simple to use, love it.

[@Queenivys]

@@SpaceNewsPod fr i have the first gen scarlett 2i2 so its OLD

[@kynave]

kind of a strange request since its literally just a basic audio interface with no additional features, as well as having better value alternatives unless ur getting a very cheap used one. unless he covered the options for audio routing with a DAW to process ur mic, or just obs. it's basically useless info

[@shockedtilldummy2509]

@@kynave Agreed. There is nothing special to cover. Especially since Harris makes content geared towards streamers who want things like on board processing, submixing, virtual channels, etc. Also the Focusrite Scarlett has been covered by hundreds of people, be it on Reddit threads, KZbin videos, etc. No need to talk more about it.

[@thereallollifeoflegacy7524]

I own a Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4 and a GoXLR. As a DJ, radio, vo, and sound guy, I would recommend the new SSL 2+ MK2 for an an audio interface. Best option thus far. Just got one in over the last 2 weeks.

[@agentshenron]

Why not the Rodecaster Duo? They just released an update adding more virtual channels. You get built-in DSP, amazing revolution pre-amps, multiple physical faders to control your mic + game audio + music + chat separately, built-in voice and sound effects, pads also double as midi controls you can use like a stream deck. The only one that comes close is the Elgato but it doesn’t have onboard DSP so it takes away from system performance and you don’t get low latency monitoring with processing applied. Beacn studio is cool but you need like 2 additional devices like the mix create if you want volume control and then a stream deck if you need the macro buttons for OBS. Roland has great sound and DSP and SFX but still no separate volume controls and no macro buttons for OBS.

[@ShinjiRL]

Because Rode didn't send it to him for free. This channel was never about objective comparisons or information. It's just an ad for the things he gets or for the things he has frequent meetings with the owners of the product (like it was mentioned for the Roland device). You can extract some useful information from the videos, but for unbiased review this is not the place.

[@adonutplaysgames]

I would imagine the price is an issue. It is 400-500 GBP on Amazon, so it is quite a bit above the devices offered here. Also, the Rodecaster is definitely tailored to a more professional setup/user imo, therefore outside Harris's main target audience for this video. Also, to ShinjiRL, I believe Harris actually owns and uses a Rodecaster Duo for his setup or has done in the past, so try to be less of a cynic, eh?

[@6coups6mouches]

The rodecaster has a monitoring latency when using the dsp (metallic sound, even worse than the GoXlr). I would dream of a Behringer XR Stream using Xr18 DSP and routing.

[@4sightfilmsLLC]

@@ShinjiRLOr maybe he mainly reviews products he likes. Nothing wrong with that. Everything is not a conspiracy.

[@agentshenron]

@@6coups6mouches definitely not worse than the goxlr, I’ve been using the rodecaster for almost 2 years now and still have my old goxlr. No additional latency on my rocecaster than on my goxlr. That said, rodes recent software update for the virtual channels actually also reduced monitoring latency.

[@robcampbell6099]

I own all 3... Just got the Roland this week... I returned the Elgato... only because I already had multiple stream decks setup and wave xlr's... The Beacn is a great little device and I find myself routinely going back and forth between it and the wave xlr. The Roland I wanted to LOVE!! as a 2 pc streamer I was looking forward to setting it up and trying it out. after spending 5 days really trying everything out I find myself disappointed and ready to return it. As Harris mentioned the software is terrible and to my ear it was the hardest to dial in sound. Hopefully they can get it figured out as I really liked some of the features.

[@SuperMaxGaming]

What about the audio quality of the amp dac for each of them? Did you feel any difference? Would you say the Beacn Studio was the better of the lot?

[@robcampbell6099]

@SuperMaxGaming they were all similar... but the Roland was the weakest of the group in my opinion.

[@Lukerdue]

Harris, Could you do a review on the Fifine audio interface & XLR mic for those SUPER budget/beginner setups? in an "is it worth it or should I wait with only a cheap USB mic and save up for something else" kinda question

[@OneSybert]

For the price of an Elgato mic arm you can get the Roland bridge cast which does more than what most streamers need.

[@AngryFloatingCow]

The only thing I don't like about the Beacn studio is that I can't easily use it with the Stream Deck +. And I doubt they'll ever release a plugin for stream deck, because they want to sell their Mix series products, so I'm just left hoping that the hardware of Elgato's offerings improve to have that DSP.

[@verellium8880]

been waiting for this video wooooo

[@John_the_baptized]

Any thoughts on GoXLR finally having the capability to mixes now?

I've had a Bridgecast for over a year now and it has been excellent.

Does the KZbin algorithm just hate your Channel? Your videos are so good and you have a great subscriber count, but the views are so low for how good the content is.

[@titaniumben9923]

Probably the ads

[@Sol1que]

Thanks for the showcase. Maybe someday in the future I'll make the step to XLR. But as i'm currently using an USB mic and my camera is USB i'm looking at the Steamdeck+ with the USB hub. This way I can connect all my streaming equipment to 1 device. And if needed in the future I can easily swap to XLR if needed.

Love your videos man! Just a little "critique", you cover the software and the hardware but an I think it becomes more and more essential to cover OS compatibility. I'm a user of Beacn because of one of your past review on it, unfortunately they never released their software for any linux distro which limits what I can do with it. Still a great piece of hardware when im on windows tho!

[@kimern68]

But do any of the other competitors have Linux compability. I don't think either Elgato or Roland have that either. I know they have MacOS compability though, and since that is a UNIX based system, as Linux, you might could use Wine for the apps, but I don't think the quality would be good.

[@vedranart]

Lewitt Connect 6, try it. Awesome product for an awesome price. And dual USB-C connection actually works :D Also, two mic inputs and two headphones outputs. Powerful software too.

[@atlasdev]

Yeah. I'll keep my RØDEcaster Duo 😎

[@SerifulStelar]

[@SerifulStelar]

@@FrontyardSoccer the new beta firmware its nice im streaming 2 pc setup

[@666thsense]

i'll be completely honest. in the 5 years ive owned my goxlr, i've never moved the faders once after setting it up. my rodecaster duo is exactly the same. faders just stay right where they are. SUB MIXES is the real champ. and if i didn't have the rodecaster, i'd grab the beacn studio. i love being able to apply compression and gates to discord (teammates!) and every other channel individually, so rodecaster wins. game changer.

[@ezreyll2]

My only issue with the Stream Deck+ is that it doesn't have surround sound. Unless there's somehow to add that? Because I definitely haven't been able to find that so far.

[@pavmusic]

Wowow omggg Ryan King, big fan!!

[@NateLG]

[@AngloCelticMan]

What mic stand is that, That you are using at the start of ""Mic sound quality test (with a Shure SM7b)""?

[@StreeZeR__]

how about buying the roland and using it with the BEACN Mix? PLEASE tell me that works :O

[@reckacyde]

I have the wave XLR and I have no problems hearing my voice effects in real time even while streaming VR all on one PC

[@hachti]

hmm i`m curious, what about combining a beacn mic (for the onboard processing) and a stream deck+🤔

[@potatopenguin5864]

the beacn mic is a usb mic which means it wont plug into the stream deck. even if it did, audio interfaces wont (i think) take software that's on the mic and send it to the pc. you plug it into the stream deck, you can only use stream deck software.

[@potatopenguin5864]

oh my bad. its late so i misread your comment. yea that would actually work. you can plug a beacn mic in the pc and plug the stream deck + into the pc. you should be able to use the nobs in conjunction with the beacn software. saw some other commenters talking about it too

[@Brandedwolf]

The beacon looks pretty good for all the things it does and the Elgato tempts me because I STILL don't have a stream deck... but the Rpland whispers to my cheap and unsure self as my first real audio device for myself.

[@rekkr]

What about the Rode Caster interfaces?

[@willclem7551]

Sadly these three do not do justice for a maximalist setup that has a series x, switch, and a pc all at once, while being able to talk in game on console

[@superwebsitehero7261]

Haven’t seen the word Maximalist in a hot minute! ⚡️

[@cyphre]

The dual setup on the Beacn is kind of slick and really unheard of.

[@hellounclesim]

Me in 2024 with my Scarlett Solo 3rd gen and voicemeeter. 😅 Honestly pretty happy with it but if you have an SM7B or need voice effects, you need something better. I'll probably upgrade when 32-bit float recording becomes the standard for budget audio interfaces.

[@NakedSpaceMan]

You can hear what your stream hears in the wave link software, including noise gate thresholds and voice changing

[@jewelcrystal]

but not in real time... harris meant if you want to listen to your mic in real time, it comes without processing. with processing, there's a big delay that causes me to stutter if I listen to it...

[@NakedSpaceMan]

@@jewelcrystal You can very much hear your mic in real time in the elgato wave link app

[@N0limitJames]

So can you use the stream deck with knobs with the becan studio?

[@Dan-22]

pretty sure goxlr does everything the bridge cast one does and for a lower price, I'd love to see a comparison video between them

[@3rdpoly]

Elgato wave link game channel - failed to play test tone. Doesn't play anything wired into it. What to do, re-installing doesn't work?

[@TigroGumi]

If you know audio processing already the Roland is already there. But it's of course something mainly aim at people that just want to jump in and do it easily. So they should work on this, shouldn't be that hard for them as they have everything to pull from already that can do this. They could easily out do the Beacn with the DSP and software for the DSP. They can't up grade the hardware so the headphone amp might no be beat or maybe the mic gain, but they could up their game on this later on with a new release... giving a proper headphone amp is very slept on in audio interfaces in general

[@jpg334]

I have the Roland Bridge Cast X and I run my Shure SM7B and my Xbox Series X and PS 5 through it and I love it I just wish it had a 3rd HDMI in port for my Nintendo Switch

[@TCJTUBE]

Roland can easily put out updates to improve their sofware. I'm gonna go with the Roland

[@xanthais141]

So I currently have a WaveXLR, and use the WaveLink software. I do hear all the EQ, Compression, Filters, etc in my ears. You're saying I won't be able to if I upgrade to the new StreamDeckXLR?

[@deldarel]

With all these 2 pc interfaces as of late, I'd love to see you incorporate the rodecaster duo or pro 2 into the lineup

[@xbeastymonsterx]

Nobody ever talks about this

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

"Hands down." Yeah, as a sound guy... My hands sure aren't in agreement, but hey, gotta sell products through affiliate links somehow, so...yeah, cool.

[@apocling]

Can you do a setup guide for the roaln bridge cast one? I feel like nobody really has a good setup video for it and its rather complicated as you elude to here.

[@brohawk-tuah]

So if I want something that can plug into both my PC and PS5 and use my headphones and mic on both… would the BEACN work for that? It doesn’t seem the other two would

[@covathetech]

I wonder if the Beacn can be used with another Mixer due to lack of hardware buttons?

[@BlueScreen64]

Yeah, plug mic into beacn, setup up your audio, have a stream deck plus, set mic source in wave link to beacn, enjoy the processed sound of beacn with the knobs of stream deck. It’s what Harris does with beacn mic. He plugs into a wave xlr but does his audio setup in beacn software.

[@covathetech]

@BlueScreen64 Thanks. I was wondering since the dual PC functionality is amazing. And would use it with my GoXlr

[@JDrums1]

I own the Rolan bridge cast the big brother to the one, and i love the mixer but i agree the software is lack luster, i do look forward to improvements as they release them.

[@AntarexGaming]

Just bought the Roland Bridge Cast after your video (the full, not the One), and really disapointed that you cannot control the stream levels separately... when you control the Stream Mix (that's the purpose of this table for a streamer), the table force also the stream mix to the headphone, loosing the possibility to have two separate mix for stream and headphone :( I hope Roland will update their firmware about this concern :(

[@mtmccornack]

My Mackie Big nob studio inexplicably pooped out on me a month back and replacing it has been kinda depressing (I hate buying things twice) All 3 of these seem like interesting options. TBH I'm leaning toward the stream deck XLR as per my digital needs. I lean more towards photography/videography workspace. This will go well with my drawing tablet and loupdeck setup.

[@AwkwardJess]

I'm gaming on console. Is there a way to get the game audio through one of these? I'm using a capture card for recording and streaming (Hauppauge HD PVR 2)

[@hannafoxie]

How would you say the bridge cast one compares to the larger bridge cast that has 4 dials on it just like the beacn mix and streamdeck plus?

[@GwallahGwallah]

What's the DAW that Ryan is using?!

[@NickArcade]

Creative just released the Sound Blaster G8. I hope you get a chance to review that soon!

[@SpookyFairy]

[@iamalikat]

Do you have a review planned for the Rodecaster now that it has virtual channels in Beta?

[@OzxGG]

Are the Beacn devices Mac compatible?

[@jewelcrystal]

i already have a stream deck+, i just need an audio interface for my xlr mic (shure mv7+) and i was looking at the beacn studio for this... can I have that? because this video says it's one or the other... can't I have both? can't I control the mixes from beacn studio on the stream deck+? i'm currently using my mic via usb since it also has usb output, but I want to eventually upgrade to xlr + audio interface to reduce processing from my PC...

[@royalpaladin173]

Would you ever see the purpose in using two of the devices for a premium type setup? Or is there a more top tier audio interface you would recommend? I have all the Elgato products but might be looking to step it up a little.

[@AlNemec]

I have a multi pc setup. I like the beacon studio having two direct usb connections to each system but it doesn't appear to handle letting you have one shared set of speakers between two pc's. Hoping I just misunderstood though and it can do that.

[@0k4n26]

Hey Senpai, you did mention the Stream Deck XLR variant from Elgato but what about the Wave XLR against the Roland Bridge Cast One? The Elgato Wave XLR is even 10 euros cheaper (atleast here in germany). You also mentioned that the software from Elgato is years ahead of the Roland Bridge Cast One. Maybe you could test them against each other? That would be interesting :D

[@NightyNite94]

Could you do this same video but for more budget friendly audio mixers

[@Ariolander]

The Roland is the only one with an AUX in. I really want that one AUX channel for recording that game console, outboard device, maybe a tablet with a sound board on it. Just one more input and maybe a separate headset and monitor out are all I want. I really want to upgrade my Yamaha AG06 but man I just want a little extra IO.

[@marcorobbe9003]

A little bit off topic, but can you please tell me if it is possible to control the audio level of the beacn mix or create with the streamdeck? I woul like to switch between three different fixed audio levels without rotating at a knob and check the value on the display. Right now I am doing this in combination with the Elgato wave software, but there are always from time tome time moments, where wavelink makes some problems and crashes. And I would love to buy a beacn if I can solve that problem in that way. But I would like to have the functionality to switch between different pre defined volume levels. Thanks a lot

[@MatsuXL]

Okay is it just me? Listening to the first samples during the ad read - the beacn has a very high end noise that sounds over processed. The clip is too short but I swear there is something there that sounds bad at the highs.

[@jcorreiauk]

Can I use the Stream Deck XLR for a dual PC stream setup?

[@ionrage]

The only thing I would of liked at least from the Roland is 2 XLR ports and a much better pre amp, they should have the cleanest default hardware considering they are the only true audio company here but they seem to use another company hardware for this like the Yamaha interface using Steinbergs pre amps which are nosey as heck. I like to switch between my Podmic and NT1 without swapping out the cables.

[@ToriksLV]

Will you cover Roland BirdgeCast X but from these 3 Beacn is the one you should go with.

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

Can you monitor your own voice eq'd on the ElGato Wave XLR?

[@aeswere]

Yes, through wavelink

[@nskdk]

Honestly I sadly only got more confused since I am looking for that step further in my stream set up

[@addepaddes]

So if I want a stream deck eventually also. Is there a reason for me to go with the Roland or Beacn? economically I mean

[@NoNameDied]

Every time I plug in a mouse/ controller to my pc my beacn studio app crashes

[@ttk_rufus_gaming]

I just got the elgato plus with xlr dock and shure mv7x. I feel as though I have to gain too high (causing it to pick up more background noise) to not have to have the mic right against my mouth when using it. Would you recommend using a cloud lifter?

[@followthemoonrabbit]

Any way for the BEACN to take two XLR inputs? Their software is so much more advanced than the Focusrite Vocaster Two's that I would switch in a heartbeat!

[@lennythelawyer-live8559]

I always enjoy your videos. But I've got a problem. I have the Elgato Prompter, Facecam Pro4K60fps, the Elgato Streamdeck plus and I cannot find a way to be able to read from the prompter or even access it from either Zoom or StreamYard. I have the wavelink software and the camera hub installed, but nothing helps and I cannot find any KZbin videos that tell me how to put this all together and make it work. Thanks in advance.

[@MiniMindGaming]

Could you create a detailed video demonstrating how to use the Roland software with the Roland Cast One? I'm new to using an xlr setup, and I'd appreciate it if you could make some suggestions on the eq and other aspects of the system.

What about the Rodecaster duo after they added virtual channel?

[@Blaquegold]

If beacn would make a combo like elgato it would be awesome!

[@TheWatchFrogs]

uhh i got the elgato wave XLR dock and I hear the VST's I've applied to the mic in real time.... you're just wrong dude....

[@jplayzgames_]

For the money, the 3 options would be great for any streamer/content creator... however, nothing has come out yet that would ever make me change from the rodecaster duo. Yes, it's expensive, but it does everything and more I could ever need. I genuinely won't need to buy a new audio interface, possibly EVER I think people get hooked on "brand hype" when really they need to find an audio interface that's does everything they need, that's it. There's no need to switch every 2 yrs because something is shiny and new. Find what works for you and stick with it

[@Senpai]

As someone who podcasted on Twitch for over 6 years, I can tell you with great confidence that the only thing you need to start is either a) Discord or b) an analog mixer with multiple inputs and some microphones. All of the things that make some of these newer digital mixers and "Smart" audio devices awesome aren't necessary. A rodecaster is a massive investment for a first device. Check out the Elgato Wave line of hardware, Beacn stuff, some of the smaller Rode devices, and more. - Nick

[@SudoYETI]

Can you do a round up of wireless mics? I hate cables but all the mics on wireless headsets seem awful. I couldn't find anything from you on this. There a bunch of options on Amazon but not sure what the hell to buy and don't want to waste money just to have worse than my headset.

[@syyddd]

Do you think using the Stream Deck+ for mixing everything but your mic in pair with the BEACN Studio would be effective or redundant? I love the ease of being able to adjust my volume of my game, voice chat, music, etc. with the Stream Deck+ but I am looking into getting the BEACN Studio due to the hardware processing and ability to run audio from 2 devices.

[@alamanax]

wouldn't it work using, the beacn, with a stream deck ? Let's imagine we have a stream deck already. There's plugins that can change the value of output of a soft. Its not dial but it does the job, wouldn't that work ? i don't know tbf

[@RansomReed]

Why didn't Beacn just add an XLR input to their audio mixer?

[@lyianx]

I'd still like to get your takes on the Mackie DLZ Creator XS (perhaps vs the RØDECaster Duo) especially since Mackie was bought out (merged?) with Rode, and now they are selling competing/similar devices. I'm leaning abit more toward the Mackie because of the NDI and Bluetooth/call-in feature, but im worried about the future support of it now that they are under Rode.

[@nickovallee]

Why never something for USB mic??

[@LarryMcDonald08]

Where does the Focusrite Vocaster One or Two compare to the Wave Xlr for someone who games and streams, and the game they use is Cpu demanding. And I ask since the Wave Xlr if using a Noise Suppression and or EQ on the Wave Xlr, it processes on the Pc vs the Vocasters use the device for processing.

[@daviddave8761]

I play competive fps with insane expensive iems that are connected to a 1000$ amp and dac combo. I am sorry I am not gonna plug my iems in a streaming mixer. I am Looking for a dual pc mixer with a optical in( coming from my 1000$ dac optical out ) and a dual usb output. The gaming pc will use the secondary usb output for a mic. Important note the gaming pc must use the mic without extra software. The secondary usb output will give the same mic quality ingame as on stream. This is something the GOXLR lacks cause it has a 3.5 line out only. You hear a big difference if you plug that in the line in of your motherboards soundcard. I use a rodecaster pro 2 now. It has all the options except the optical in. I now use two 3.5 mm in two xlr inputs coming from my dac second output and balance it for my gamingsound in my stream. Audio in stream is not optimal that way. Note i am not using stereomix on my gamingpc cause it creates latency. I Hope Beacn can make a ultimate dualpc streaming device.
