Sooo... this video was long. Do you want me to do more comprehensive videos like this in the future or not? and, if so, what about next?

[@Frewty]

Make an advanced tutorial for overlays and OBS stuff

[@iamaraven8657]

YES YES YES

[@1C3TV]

Second the request for overlays and obs stuff like alerts, transitions, bitrate, just every setting in that bad boy

[@badnewsbruner]

Yes, more videos like this!! You should do a video about setting up voice meter banana with a dual PC streaming setup (if you haven't already). Specifically when using only one USB mic. It is possible, but I'm sure a lot of people aren't sure how to do it. Thankfully I found a way to make it work, but I've seen the question 'how can I use a Yeti for dual PC streaming' asked very frequently online.

[@furyzyt2041]

[@Dorianrea]

i've been streaming to twitch for a few years now and i have to say this channel has helped me a lot. I was looking into a lot of expensive stuff because i heard it was the best and X streamer uses it. because of this channel I've been able to rationalize everything. I was going to pay $400 for a dynamic mic that I've seen so many people use and another $600 for the pro mixer to use it, but now i'm sticking with my current mic and when i'm ready upgrading to the go xlr and later on just a decent dynamic mic. This channel has saved me so much money by just being up front about everything. Thank you!

[@Bibojski]

I dont like ironing too Harris :> As always: good job, great video.

[@TheMekkaMan]

BTW the Go XLR only needs (minimum requirements), according to Helicon: intel core 2 DUO CPU Ethernet port 1GB ram. knowing this (with my i7 2600) makes me really want to get one.

[@grqfes]

damn didnt know it even had minimum req

[@Noraemsu]

Logitech G933 has a usb dongle with a line in on it aswell, so in theory that would also be compatible with GoXLR.

[@undecidedgaming2454]

Haagrid I to have the same headset but I feel though I am doing something wrong because the audio in game just sounds rough. I am using a ground loop isolater that’s not the type of problem I am having though. I don’t know how to explain it we’ll but the audio coming in with the 3.5 jack just doesn’t sound right. It’s very very loud almost tinny and if I try to lower the sound on the go xlr then it gets too quiet. What I am wondering is, when using the 933 do you think I should go into Windows setting and disable it as a listen device so that way just to be sure I am not getting twice the audio or something? I’m just not sure about the whole thing. How do you have yours setup?

[@habibi9662]

What about using the goXLR with console while streaming on a pc with a capture card?

[@tyisafk]

That's what I want to know too. I got a Yamaha MG10XU specifically because it has RCA inputs. The problem is that EVERYTHING is fed as 1 input as far as Windows can see, which is very unfortunate. If I equalize my microphone for my voice using a DAW and virtual audio cable, the console's audio is gonna get destroyed because it's seen as the same input as what the microphone is pushing to the PC. Currently I feed my console into Line In on my PC and use OBS to adjust it as a workaround. I assume you'll be fine if you use the Line In port on the GOXLR. Most interfaces are great if you only stream on PC, going as far as using emulators for retro games, but when you want to use all hardware, it seems like it becomes very difficult. The MG10XLR would probably be a perfect mixer if it simply had that functionality for Windows to see every single line of input as a separate device on Windows. Or at least to DAWs with the proper drivers installed.

[@wrek1988]

I am curious about this as well!

[@chazdills8675]

Scott Thompson So, what i did to get around this (on my Yamaha mixer) was get an hdmi audio extractor. Basically another box in the HDMI chain. It will extract the audio and send it to a separate audio cable (for me aux) and that was plugged into another input on the Yamaha mixer. From what i can see with the goxlr. There is a optical port, which i assume is a line in. You can plug the console into that via optical and then adjust with the PC app fader. I just ordered mine and should be here today from Amazon and i will try to confirm this theory.

[@jimmy2thymes916]

I do this all the time. Pick up a optical cord on Amazon. Then just mess around and assign your console audio to a channel. works well!
