Elgato Wave XLR 1.5 Years Later

[@modwolves_live]

I've been using it for a few months now, paired with a Blue Sona mic. Very happy with it. I had a Go XLR for a few days before returning it... this suited me much better, it felt more up to date!

About to try and sell my GoXLR as well, was considering getting the Scarlett Solo 4 when I saw this. Pros/cons so far? How do you like it after using it for a while?

@@avara_ha Hi, so far so good. I use 4 simple VSTs on mine and it works well. Sometimes they are not automatically on when I turn on the PC, so I just monitor myself quickly each time to ensure they are on... takes 2 seconds. Once you are set up then its real nice. I see there is a new Beacn product out, but this only seems necessary if you are using 2 PCs... but it's worth having a look at.

I've really enjoyed mine paired with an Audio-Technica AT4040 for live streaming. As always, great content.

I'm checking out this video because elgato just released a dock for the stream deck+ with essentially the exact same internals as this so you save space and get full integration it looks perfect for what I need, just gotta decide what microphone now 😬

Another good video by Bad! 👏

I wonder if the hub would help you in this scenario.

Hello Badintent, could you tell me what are the best equalizer apo settings for gaming? I have an hyperx cloud 2

I’m using a sound blaster g6 dac amp to power my Sennheiser 6xx can you use the wave xlr with my g6? Any help greatly appreciated

Hi! What do you think about the Samson Q2U with the Wave XLR?

[@BadIntentStreamTechReviews]

Works perfectly. It bypasses the preamp noise of the Q2U when used USB mode and Wave link let's you EQ it easily.

I use it since more than half a year, and, well, I don't like it that much :/ The thing is, I bought it at a time when I didn't know much about interfaces nor microphones, not even whether I should go for a condenser or a dynamic microphone. In the meantime, I would definitely choose a different one, but more on that later. Good the Wave Link software is nice to have and probably the main reason to buy the Wave XLR, but honestly, I didn't really used it. Only to record my desktop audio, but also just because I have a weird bug, which means if I record it, there will be some distortion in the audio. By creating an output with Wave Link and connecting it to the game sound, it's fine, but if I want to play something different, then I'd have to change it too, which is a little annoying... However, I could also solve the problem by just plugging my headphones into the interface instead of my PC, but I also use an amplifier for my 770 Pro 80 Ohm and would like to connect it, unfortunately however, the Wave XLR is not strong enough to handle it :( In the meantime, btw, I have ordered the Focusrite Vocaster (which will arrive in the next 1-2 days), and hopefully this will serve me better ^^, at least if there isn't this monitoring problem, I heard something about 👀

[@cjpack]

why are you routing your game audio just to be able to use your headphones? this is a totally avoidable problem if its anything like soundmeter. the ony time you route your audio is if it you dont want to hear it or have seperate controls but that would be the case wwhether ot not its plugged in or to a diff place.

[@cjpack]

Good to know, software sounds cool. all your negatives are things that soundmeter has as well but even more bloat. and as for the inputs and outputs list, same thing, but you can disable anyone you dont use and it wont appear for you if you didnt know, in windows

[@SquidLS]

I am extremely curious, does your elgato wave xlr have the problem where it completely loses audio? Like i have to close the software everytime or if i turn my pc off entirely and unplug it and turn it back on i have to do a full uninstall of everything related to the wave link software and restart my pc and then reinstall, or after 3-4 days of having my pc on it randomly stops pushing out audio or if my ps sits idle, I have not seen any videos close to the problem i have so i was just curious because it is a bit annoying to have to do these steps

[@ItsSurfr]

Im not sure, but try to reinstall the program WITHOUT your elgato connected to your pc. I had a similar problem with a different interface, where my audio would completely cut off after a while. It didn't work for me but maybe it could work for you, because the official installation requires you to NOT have the elgato wave connected to the pc.

[@SquidLS]

@@ItsSurfr i had a weeks worth conversation with the support, idk what the issue was but honestly elgato products while the xlr and streamdecks are high quality, the mic clamps are terrible and the software before the update was terrible too always had to reapply everything lol

can you revive the JBL 400 quantum headphones'?
