Some people are apparently having problems with the S22 ultra and the audio not coming through. I've gotten my Go Mixer pro x and from the get go it works through the usb. Make sure you connect the right way around. Read the manual.

[@fr4ctl]

Finally, an in-depth tutorial and honest review of this little powerhouse! I recently bought one and couldn't figure out how to connect my hardware, *until I found your video*. What is the synth at 4:11? Sounds deep!

[@edwardferry8247]

The failure to be able to control the volume on the line input levels (on the device) is a deal breaker, as is the 16 bit restriction. It’s a shame because otherwise it’s got great features. I went for Irig stream pro instead. Thank you for the great review .

[@SexyWellness]

THX for the heads up (16bit)

[@huntrrams]

Awesome review! I was looking for a review like this from a synth and DAW-less setup perspective!

[@lashesfordaze]

Doesn’t it have batteries that can power the phantom so you can still use it with iOS without needing a separate battery or power supply?

[@AldonzaDellaCallabazza]

You can use 4 AAA batteries to suply the 48V that the phantom mic requires

[@LucasRodrigues-hg6fu]

Can we connect simultaneously 2 smartphones ? So one smartphone live recording from the USB port and another smartphone live recording from the mono mic output by trrs cable ?

[@OliverDavis-k4n]

Would love to have a standard TRS Line Out so this can be used like a regular mixer

[@davidlalremruata]

TRRS is like an AUX cable, right?

[@Delmarevans]

If I watch the video, I tried to power my unit from an external source as your video says, and the source will only stay on for about 30 seconds, and then the light was shut off and I do have the switch into the usb battery off mode. And tried both ways. Power light shuts off in about 30 seconds. In addition, if you use that external battery source, where do you plug your iPhone in do you use the input output on the right side of the unit when you use that it doesn’t work and your end up recording off of the iPhone microphone

[@artrax336]

Hello, I have this device, thinking that it would be very useful to me because of its ease of use and in view of the positive opinions on the internet concerning this machine, I finally bought it, only after having made my recordings and checking my settings, I always end up with a really bad sound with a sort of veiled volume effect! I'm recording from my Samsung galaxy tablet via Android, yet it's specified that it takes this system into account... So I don't really understand how to solve this poor sound problem! Thank you in advance for your answers 👍

[@carlosdavila2113]

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm getting the same sound problem.

[@artrax336]

Well I simply changed my “Samsung” tablet running Android which wasn’t working! then I tried again with an iPad, and the sound is very good! Thanks

[@NeonAlgo]

great review! i have a question, is it able to record on separated audio tracks?

[@JakobHaq]

Unfortunately you only get a stereo track (or two mono depending on how you set it up inside the recording software). It really is a “Mixer” type interface.

[@Dogboy73]

MIDI i/o would be the cherry on the cake and make this one of the best iOS interfaces available (build quality aside, which looks pretty shoddy. Not at all Pro). I’m not sure if there is an iOS interface that has MIDI in addition to the audio i/o. It tends to be one or the other.

[@wickeddubz]

Cheap 4 x stereo ch mixer costs 15-20 bucks on ali, requires 12v power. Size is very small. Very nice as preamp for weak signal source, also good to go with small synths.

[@bryantwalley]

Zoom U-24 - available for less than $100 US. I can't even find this for sale.

[@francescomanfredi]

I agree the Zoom interface is a very good alternative

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Nothing wrong with the u-24, I have one and use it a lot. But unless I’m using it wrong it only has two inputs (and four outs, hence the name. I think…)

[@bryantwalley]

@@walrtbstudios5430 - You are correct. 2 in and 4 out. In my experience thus far, I have not required anything above that with my iPad. Each user will have their own workflow to consider though. The Roland device presented above may do better for some if there are ever any available to purchase.

[@almostghosts]

U-24 also has midi. This doesn’t.

[@Jesiahjesiah]

Huh, your video made it clear that this only has 2 channels of digital output to the device, not one per input. That's kind of a deal breaker for me... which is too bad, because the mic & direct guitar inputs is pretty enticing. Maybe it's worth doubling up with a TC Blender and it's bonus I/O.

[@alexehlke707]

Yeah sadly learned this only after purchasing it

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

Just got this what cables do I need to Connect my DDJ 200 Pionner to the GO mixer pro? The DDJ 200 controller doesn’t have any ports. Help please

[@Khordmaster]

Great video! Question: if I connect my iPad Pro through usb and want to use my iPhone to record or stream via the smart phone connector and other gear connected to the other ports, I can record the audio from everything EXCEPT my iPad to my iPhone. But I can hear music from my iPad through the headphones just fine. The only way to resolve this is to turn loop back mode on which is okay for playing iPad beats but if I want to say live loop (which I really do want to), the loop back functionality seems to record “everything” including what’s being played on the current loop. I must resolve this. There has to be a way. Any tips?!

[@kenkencoenterprisesllc4887]

You didn't show what USB head you plugged in the back that's what I was waiting to see! Was is a smooth head or a 2 groove

[@PerChristianFrankplads]

Thanks for an informative review. Considering buying it, since my NI Audio Kontrol 1 will never work on my MacBook Air 2020 M1...

[@vitoradamos605]

Good review. I wish I could see someone in youtube land actually record 45 sec audio/ video then show us how it gets put into instagram. No one does that, maybe because it's a nightmare to do with out having to pay for 3rd party music distributor. Good job

[@kevinrooney9018]

Can the aux out go directly out to a seperate mixer for live gigs? Can you EQ on the app while going out to sound desk?

[@JC-Zoso]

This interface lacks the ability to balance the dry/wet processed signal. You will always hear half of the signal dry without any kind of processing. Makes it useless for anything that needs processing by an app. Im amazed a dedicated channel like this doesn’t even mention it… if you need processing dont spend 150$ on this

[@FloydGoldkatz]

@@JC-Zoso thanks for your comment, I bought it yesterday and ran into that issue. what did you go for instead?

[@JC-Zoso]

@@FloydGoldkatz zoom u-24 is a good small size option…

Thank you for the review, Jakob. I have placed an order for my very own unit.

[@shavkatsh]

How can I connect micro usb output of GO:MIXER PRO-X to some audio 3.5mm or 1/4 line-in jack of the amplifier? I tried micro usb adapter and it didn't work. Is it possible?

[@scottbecker3485]

Checked out your review of this first…and it was all I needed. :-) Perfect amount of detail and depth, presented clearly and concisely - thanks! :-) The only suggestion I‘d like to make for future reviews is leaving out or greatly shortening the (sort of lengthy) sound samples of thumping music - samples that in this case seemed to demonstrate nothing in particular about the unit being reviewed. The only exception to that was the sound sample showing off the portable speaker you were using. I found the audio samples too loud in my AirPods as compared with the spoken parts of the video. Just sayin‘. ;-) Anyhow, thanks for the helpful input! I‘m probably going to get one of these for vocals and (acoustic) guitar, either with the guitar mic’d or via pickup/cable, all going into my iPhone or iPad. Should be a great way to record stuff easily, especially for KZbin - also thanks to the headphone monitoring. Come to think of it, one missing feature on this is Bluetooth monitoring using AirPods. That would have made it perfect.

[@DJTJ1980]

How do u connect this to a pioneer rx3 please for love streaming and recording

[@thestranger8411]

The features are cool, only a midi was just perfect. But I have a question: can the Ipad Pro be powered by a power bank if I use a usb C hub and this interface...can I connect it through an usb A?through a usb C hub to the Ipad?

[@cesarformenti]

Does it has reverb integrated for the microphone input? Otherwise the recorded sound in a video will be completely dry.

[@wyldbylli4047]

Thanks for the thorough video. Wish I had seen this like a year ago lul. Still want to get my hands on one of these.

[@gsaxy]

thx! QUESTION: is it possible to use an extension cable (f.e. male micro usb to female micro usb) to connect the delivered "micro-to-lightning-cable" to an iphone? REASON: if the iphone (which recs. video too) is a little far away, it would make sense to have the go mixer pro near on stage. EXAMPLE BAND VIDEO: the video-recording iphone which has to be connected trough lightning with the micro usb port, will be let's say 5 meters away. so it would be great to have the central unit (which is the go:mixer) on stage and the connection to the video-recording iphone done by a long micro-usb extension cable. or do you have another solution? thx.

[@xreight5472]

Thank you Mr. Jakob.

[@Spareroom-music]

Great video! Sorry if this is a dumb question.....how do you get the tablet to record input via the mixer and not the tablet mic?!

[@distrustfulmonkey2832]

Hi. I have the original white one and you definitely can. I just open a video app and leave a video recording. This records all the audio going in at the set levels and you can then covert the file to MP3 or wav directly on the phone. I'm an android user but I can't see any reason it wouldn't work the same way on apple.

[@BellowsSqueezer]

I really like this form factor but no line outputs puts me out 🤔 What I really want is to plug in my synth (Roland V-accordion), mix it with my iPhone output Audio or usb) and send the output to my Sennheiser wireless audio to my QSC K10.2. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

[@GS-uy4xo]

Great review - super clear info, and the always present killer tracks 👍🏼👍🏼

[@robertsteinberger5667]

How is the signal loss of the mixer? I heard it adds unwanted compression.

I’m using this with Rx3 and all of a sudden I’m not getting sound on videos can u please help what settings should I use and etc

[@wayneknetter]

Using a splitter cable on my rode wireless go 2, can I adjust the gain/volume on either mike /tx channel. When connected to iPad using Switcher Studio I want to adjust the other mike as that person is too loud and I’m softer spoken. Then either come back into the iPad with lightning or trs/trrs

[@7Segment]

Very informative. Just bought one of these for my minimalist synth setup.

[@clear_gray_sky539]

I’ve been using an itrack solo for years but it’s too bulky and heavy I am ordering one of these interfaces when they come out . it looks like the perfect weight and size for my mobile set up

Really good, comprehensive review !

[@marcelchaloupka]

The question is about the DAC, I can’t seem to find any specs on it. What are the supported sample rates?

[@tauer1]

Great review and very informative. I have an iPhone XR and am trying to use a condenser mic. I can’t get it to work. Your section on phantom power says to use a powered hub but Roland’s manual says it should work fine as long as the battery switch is on? Do you have any knight into this. I don’t k ow if I should buy a usb c hub, phantom power box… or try a new condenser mix.

Can you connect a 3.5mm mic to this? Like a boya m1?

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

I have the original Go mixer pro. Love it’s portability and adding it’s inputs to my setup. I’m not sure if there’s enough added features to convince to fully upgrade to the go mixer pro-x. The lack of panning and muting is a drawback for me. Also wish I could apply separate audio fx to separate instruments instead and just the master channel when using it with iOS via usb connection. Hopefully they can offer a firmware update that makes that possible.

[@JakobHaq]

Sounds almost as if what you’re lookin go for is a USB mixer. It won’t provide you with multi I/O (there are some that do but they’re more pricey too). With a mixer you can ad insert fx, pan etc.

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

@@JakobHaq for sure I have various mixers with different connections. I was just a bit disappointed when I initially picked it up because I was hoping it would allow the functionality of channel mixing. Love that it combine multiple instruments and portability. Definitely a cool gem to add to the mix

[@stewartreadman4194]

Thanks for the informative, articulate video. I have a home studio with 8 ch. mixer and cubase, but I like the idea of this gadget because it delivers better audio to the cell phone, which I would like to play around with. I have a question before I go out and buy one of these. So, if I had my drum set with 8 mics going to my main studio mixer, I should be able to use the main mixer like a sub mixer and feed the tweaked, stereo mixdown of the 8 tracks to the roland go mixer, right? Any help, advice, tips on using this with a large, acoustic drum set would be appreciated.

Hey Jakob, thanks for another insightful video! I noticed around the 9:30 timestamp that you used a non-Apple USB-C hub. I saw your older videos advising against non-Apple USB adapters - did you find some exceptions?

[@JakobHaq]

Ah, there’s a misconception that hubs or and/or USB pheripherals need some sort of certification when it comes to USB-C and Apple products. They do not. Certification only applies for Lightning fitted iDevices (iPhones and iPads). In those latter cases, USB peripherals and adapters need to be MFi certified. . So you could use almost any type of USB stuff with your IDevice if it’s fitted with USB-C. Stuff rated for MacBooks are usually very good, which is what I’m using.

[@JC-Zoso]

Any chance of processing effects with this without hearing to the dry signal?

Hello, when I record a guitar with the Go Mixer Pro I sometimes hear a noise in between. It lsounds like a scratch on an old vinyl record. Do you have any idea wat can cause this sound ? Best regards, Ray.

[@jasper_north]

Hello lovely channel: Here is my Gear... An acoustic Martin D18 guitar with a K&K mini pickup installed. A SHURE beta 87a phantom powered mic. A STOMP BOX made by ORTEGA and a Fishman Loudbox Artist amplifier. Here is the question; I know the GO gives a dry signal, would it be a better idea to use DIRECT LINE IN LINE OUT and connect the amp to the GO? Would I then need to monitor with my headset in my amp or monitor with my headset plugged into the GO? Would the settings on my AMP have effect on the sound,...I mean is for example chorus and echo noted while monitoring? And the other question: Will my iPhone use the build in mic also when plugged in the GO?

[@cobboom2211]

Does this work natively with the iOS camera app? Plug and play ready..?

[@JamieMallender]

Well that’s a very interesting gadget. I kind of fancy one because it’s compact and cool and I like how the device sits in it (there should be more of this) but I don’t need one. I have iRig stream for streaming and iRig pro duo as my main interface - so I’m kind of trying to think of a reason why I need it. You know, I have some old iPhones that still run some great software. Might be worth it just to have one of them on my desk and have all those ins and outs to go to my mixer and integrate with other instruments and iPads. Hmmmm….

[@jimshannononsounds]

Not that Android devices will be in my arsenal anytime soon Jakob but ever since my original Go Mixer from a few years ago, Roland has included cables for both i0s and Android. Pretty slick. Nice to see Roland continue this practice. Would the split-screen loopback function work with my 2020 iPad pro?

[@JakobHaq]

The split screen footage is of a session where I’ve compiled two sessions I recorded. So it only looks like that after you’ve added the footage together. It doesn’t happen in real-time. You record performances one by one and then the apps basically lets you edit them together. The loop back function is part of the mixer itself so it works with any smart tablet or smartphone.

[@jimshannononsounds]

@@JakobHaq Thanks, Jakob. I didn't think the Go mixer did that natively. Lots of audio interfaces don't offer loopback. It's not on my Focusrite 2nd Gen 2i4. Loopback is only supported on 3rd Gen or greater, so it seems loopback is a recent feature. Good on Rolland for keeping up with the trends. Thanks.
