Loupedeck Live S: Introduction

[@Khaldor]

Very happy to finally being able to share our newest device! I personally think that especially for newer streamers, that are thinking about getting their first streaming controller, this crowdfunding campaign is a fantastic opportunity to get a high quality device for a very low price! 😊

[@ActivateLA]

No hating but all missing knobs need to come baaaaaaaack! They help so much with multiple audio controlling through separate dials….this is coming from a Live-streamer here on KZbin.

[@Khaldor]

@@ActivateLA You still have access to dial pages. So you are not limited to only 2 dials. For most streamers the amount of dials we have on the Loupedeck Live (6) are not necessary. And if you are looking for more dials the Loupedeck Live would probably the better fit for you. But we'll take the feedback into account for the future, so thanks a lot for your comment!

[@UrbVic]

Amazing!!! I hope the software have OBS plug-in control soon, and this will be THE DEVICE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Loupedeck]

Hi! We do have a native plugin for OBS, as well as Streamlabs, Twitch, Ecamm, vMix, and many more. If you are referring to additional third-party plugins for OBS, feel free to share what plugins you'd like to see integrated with our software, and we'll forward the feedback to the team :)

[@UrbVic]

@@Loupedeck I mean, full control of OBS mostly on filters 🙏🏼

[@iSpike]

Man this looks like a great little unit packed full of features. New Subscriber here, plus I will check out your other products. I’m currently upgrading my home studio and will be producing a couple of weekly livestream shows. I use a RodeCaster Pro for my audio & a combination of a Stream deck XL & Atem mini for everything else. Much respect to you and your evocative products. Cheers from Western Australia

[@DavidWood2]

An interesting set of changes over the original Live - expand the button area to 5 by 3 (same as a Stream Deck), delete the row of hard buttons, delete the dial displays and four of the dials in favour of four hard buttons. Personally, I think the original Live is a better product; if dials are unimportant to you, you might as well buy a Stream Deck. I am happily in both camps: I have a Loupedeck CT and a Stream Deck XL. Both serve different purposes and I am pleased to have both. If I bought a second Loupedeck for portable use, it would be the original Live because the dials are important to me. The only place I can see for the Live S is as a cheaper alternative to the original Live.

[@Loupedeck]

Hi David, thank you for your comment. We're happy to hear you're pleased with your Loupedeck CT and appreciate your feedback :)

[@DavidWood2]

@@Loupedeck I am pleased with the CT, though am having some issues with the latest software and also the MIDI implementation. When I get the time, I'll document these issues for your consideration. The CT is a great product and the software gets better with every version. I really appreciate what you are doing and wish you well with Live S as you aim to serve the budget end of the market. My only concern is that it will take rather more work to create Live S profiles from a CT or Live profile (or vice versa) due to the different number and arrangement of buttons. I hope the original Live remains in the line-up, as I may well pick one up if I start to do more travelling.

[@Loupedeck]

We are sorry to hear about the issues, and we appreciate your willingness to document the issues in more detail. The best way to contact us is through our website: support.loupedeck.com/kb-tickets/new. Regarding Loupedeck Live, don't worry, it's going nowhere :)

[@KASmonkeys]

All the these units are perfect DAW audio controllers ! 🎉

[@ActivateLA]

I have loupedeck live and got exited about the S but as soon as I saw you guys took off most of the knobs I thinks it’s a nooooo! The knobs are a plus controlling multiple audios!!

[@Loupedeck]

Hi, sounds like the Loupedeck Live is a perfect fit for you then 👍 The Loupedeck Live S is a more affordable version targeted towards newer streamers who don't need that many dials and buttons.

[@AndrewSheldon]

Could this be used to aid monitoring of security cameras if you have a portfolio of property. Nice if it would draw on 'motion detection' for those cameras. I get false 'motion detection' signals from moving trees, pets romaning and plastic bags blowing around, so an easy means of screen capture at critical movements coming from my devices would be useful. Though rather than go through a lot of cameras, nice if motion is brought to the fore.

[@Loupedeck]

Hi Andrew, thank you for your comment. You can use our consoles with any application on Windows or macOS by creating a custom profile, where you map keyboard shortcuts, mouse actions, and OS commands on the console.

[@AndrewSheldon]

@@Loupedeck Do you have video instructions. Im not a programmer.

[@Loupedeck]

We recommend checking out this tutorial video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX-po5Z9hq-mg68. While the UI has changed a bit since the video was released, the main logic remains the same and all the same steps apply to Loupedeck Live S as well.

[@Yungjelly954]

Looking into buying this

[@nemrcomedy]

I'm curious, would we be able to use the knobs to control a zoom in on a source in obs? Say my camera for instance would I be able to zoom in for dramatic effect? Not actually controlling the camera itself, but zooming in on what we're seeing on screen?

[@Loupedeck]

Hi, unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. There is no API- or shortcut-based action that could be assigned to a dial to control the digital zoom. However, you could for example use individual buttons to switch sources with different zoom levels.

[@nemrcomedy]

@@Loupedeck I expected as much thank you though for the reply! Best of luck!

[@joycechilvers4973]

I have a Loupedeck Live ... will we get the Audio Mixer Software too, or is this something only buyers of Loupedeck Live S will be allowed to access?

[@_______xxx__________xxxxx]

Is there a way to use Loopdeck with Auto Clicker Tools?

[@acmecollections1212]

What is the touch feeling on the Loupedeck ? Is the buttons are hard as a screen phone?

[@Loupedeck]

Hi there, the touchscreen buttons have a similar feel to a phone touchscreen, so they don't really move when you tap them.

[@acmecollections1212]

@@Loupedeck That's sad. At the end of the day it must hurt a lot. With regret I will go for a Stream Deck + 😥

[@avia4281]

Can the knobs control ableton 11 volumes on pluggins ? Looking for vide to do as such and not able to find any.

[@runitbackchop8923]

Can you guys make it easy to actually have useful streamer functions out the box? I love the product (I have the CT) and it says in marketing that gaming is supported but neither StreamLabs Nor OBS have EVER worked on mines and I followed your FAQ section where you say it’s supported but it’s really not, your current software desperately needs updates that make it actually useful for streaming. For Pro Tools, Davinci, After Effects it works amazing I just it would actually made it unnecessary to buy a stream deck despite have a Loupedeck CT I may still have to buy one because of how user friendly and easy to set up is for any streaming app

[@Loupedeck]

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are focused on developing the streaming integrations and our general software usability with future updates. The OBS and Streamlabs integrations should be working fine though, so we would kindly recommend to contact our customer support so they can help you solve the issues: support.loupedeck.com/kb-tickets/new

[@runitbackchop8923]

@@Loupedeck I will and im sure there’s really smart people willing to help me but that’s the point I’m trying to make if it’s out the box and very user friendly you guys would sell millions more

[@runitbackchop8923]

But also thank you for building this tool, I just want to give my feedback to make it better but this has been amazing to have for video editing, I’ve never felt like I was touching and grabbing my footage the way I do in Davinci & FinalCutProX

[@nickimming6042]

Does this also work with a webinar hosted on teams? We would like to use such a deck to switch between different camera's.

[@Loupedeck]

Hi Nick, at the moment the functionality with MS Teams is only based on keyboard shortcuts. However, we are working closely with them, and a full integration with Teams is currently being developed 👍

[@MachineDaena]

Nice!

[@courtneyjohn8022]

Will the dials be volume control only or can you preset it to like a scrub forwards and backwards in after effects?

[@Loupedeck]

Hi Courtney, the dials are fully customizable, so you can use them for adjusting different volumes or creative adjustments, scrubbing through your timeline, moving, scaling, and rotating your image, and much more!

[@Yoakee1]

I can NOT believe there isn't a new video after the 5.2 update i LOVE my loupedeck live and i love the product i'd love to be your YT creator :) just saying but i do feel there should be way more content from Loupedeck especially after the big updates on software this product should be smoking past stream deck it is just superior ! but the PR doesn't seem to be there, for example a few big changes in the UI and work flow with the 5.2 update and it would have been really nice being able to come here and learn instead of banging my head and emailing support

[@Loupedeck]

Thank you for your feedback. We are in the process of creating updated software tutorials, and they should be out before the weekend :)

[@jacobbailey2950]

Is it possible to change the mic volume of individual team mates in a game?

[@Loupedeck]

Hi Jacob, there is unfortunately no such ready-made action available. If the game or the application you use to talk with your teammates would enable you to use keyboard shortcuts to change the mic volume of individual players, then you could map those on the dials or buttons on the Loupedeck.

[@osric70]

Will there be Wirecast Integration?

[@Loupedeck]

There's no immediate plans, but you can always create your own profile to work with any software you want.

[@TheMasterTuX]

in general I might be OK but still functions are missing that competitive products have since a long time, like custom dual state icon's that a lot people waiting for, so yes, no worries for the hardware only for the software. some time last year someone from the loupedeck team wrote to me and I Quote: "It is currently not possible to have two states of an custom icon, but I agree it would be a great addition to our software. I have shared your message with our Product team so we can check this option for our future software releases. Many regards from Loupedeck team and have a wonderful day." 2 new Versions of the Software since then, but no changes in that direction. Don't get me wrong, this is not a "hate" post, I realy like my loupedecks (hardwareside) but if someone designes a product for Streamers, this kind of feedback should be heeded

[@Loupedeck]

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We can confirm that this is currently being developed, and we are aware how important this is for streamers especially. We appreciate your patience :)

[@TheMasterTuX]

@@Loupedeck now 5.2.0 Software is out, but again the promised feature (promised in an email from the 3. of December 2021) are not there. I think it's time to sell my Loupedecks so someone who do not want to use it for streaming. So thanks for not keeping promises for expensive devices

[@Loupedeck]

We are still very much planning to introduce the feature in question, as we know it is important to lots of our customers. If you look at our reply, we haven't promised any timeframe, but we will introduce it as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience.

Hello here are both the dimensions and weight of Loupedeck Live S: Dimensions: 150 x85.5 x 30mm / 5.9 x 3.4 x 1.2inches Weight: 168g/0.4lbs

[@neil1375]

Surely the CT does all this and more, so I don't see the need for this latest device?

[@ActivateLA]

They really messed up taking a away the other audio dials 🤦🏽

[@Khaldor]

If you already own a CT this might not be the device for you. But especially for streamers that don't own a streaming controller yet this is a fairly attractive device, especially from a price point of view. A lot of the feedback that we received in the past highlighted that for streamers our premium products (as for example the CT) are simply too expensive while offering a lot of features that are not needed for the average streamer. So the Loupedeck Live S fills this gap in our product line and is an entry level device compared to the CT.

[@neil1375]

@@ActivateLA Agreed.

[@neil1375]

@@Khaldor I reckon they would have been better off promoting their CT and maybe even bringing its price down to attract more people to it. I really don't see the need for this lesser capable mid way device. They really need to do better market research to focus their new product development strategy. For instance I have a CT and use ir with a number of software applications. Their Photoshop Plugin still has issues with it not functioning properly with a few dial operated functions and this is still the case a year after I raised tickets with them?!?! Imagine how many more customers they could gain whilst also improving their product offering along the way if they focussed on doing this as opposed to bringing another unnecessary product variation to market???

[@fluph1]

Huge price difference !

[@Somtric]

Hold on... how is this the predecessor to the Live... when this is newer.. that makes no sense.

[@Loupedeck]

Hi there, with the Loupedeck Live S we wanted to bring out a product for streamers who want a simpler console at a lower price point.

@@Loupedeck You didn't get it. A Predecessor is something that came before, this comes after.

Don't think you need a new product. I would rather back a Kickstarter that brings more support and plugins on OSX. There are so many things that Loupdeck falls short on compared to Streamdeck why not focus on those features instead of releasing a slightly different piece of hardware. I already have a live and don't see the point of an S.. Software needs to be pushed hard and fast.

[@Loupedeck]

Hi Thomas, thank you for your feedback. If you want to leave more detailed feedback or report any issues, our customer support is the best place: support.loupedeck.com/kb-tickets/new.

Good idea. Poor execution. Stick with Streamdeck.
