Razer Made a GoXLR Mini...the Razer Audio Mixer Review!

Razer dropped their answer to the GoXLR Mini...the Razer Audio Mixer! It has XLR and phantom power, 4 channel sliders, 6 dedicated buttons and ton of flexibility in the software. But, big BUT, is it worth it?

Lol

[@eldiablo3124]

I got no complaints, thanks to my mom googling birth control I got to exist so 🤷

[@RandomPersonPassingBy]

@@eldiablo3124 lol 😂

[@Dr._Dirt]

I think the price needs to go down. GoXLR Mini is cheaper right now and looks like the better option. Good review tho!

[@crossbowhunter9118]

I bet it is because it says razer and it has rgb that might be why the price is high the normal GOXLR IS 50 bucks cheaper

[@Rainbow__cookie]

Razer overprice there stuff anyway

[@femio18]

I just bought the razer mixer and love it since I’m in to the razer ecosystem

[@sxxith]

@@crossbowhunter9118 the go xlr has rgb too. The razor mixer is just over priced. Like in the uk the razor mixer costs 249 and the GOXLR costs like 133 and you get so much more with it. Better software, better quality and just better everything.

[@Kuraiser]

@@sxxith absolutely not better software, the goxlr has LOTS of issues no one talks about, I am a previous owner and honestly I'm looking forward to trying this

[@jlnho1]

It looks cool, and i would see this in my set up, but it's kinda sad that it doesn't have macOS support, my setup have a Mac in it and i would want that mixer when i want to record audio on my Mac sometimes

[@leonardoggy]

I really like it. It's awesome that it brings the 2 ground loop things. The noise problem tends to happen when you have everything connected on the same outlet and especially when you connect console audio to PC in that case. (I had to connect through controller output and then keep it wireless.) It's expensive, though. Thanks for reviewing it. I was hoping you'd do it when I saw it announced the other day.

[@fungdark]

You actually have the ground loop problem backwards, but they are a great tool.

[@kruppelfield]

It is basically a DI box for mini jack, which is nice. Professional audio equipment such as audio interfaces don't provide these and tend to transfer unwanted noise in most cases

[@chrisdotdash5154]

I think that it definitely is overpriced, but I think that the option to customize each fader is awesome.

[@tour1st736]

Keep up the "your mom" jokes. I love them

[@cyphre]

Nice that there is an alternative to the Mini, even though they could've obviously done a LITTLE more than basically just copying it feature for feature. Software can be nice, but also annoying.

[@bartdekleijn9429]

Is the software required for the basic features of the device, splitting the channels like VoiceMeeter? Or does the mixer have on-board memory for those things?

[@ensuredchaos8098]

It looks cool, but they need to drop that price. The GoXLR Mini is the same (or cheaper) price then Razer's option so hopefully they put it on sale soon.

[@moreblcvk]

I use the ground loop isolators for my ps5 streaming setup. Its connected to my astro mixamp and definitely helps

[@BaxTechYT]

$250 is a big no for me. It's a cool device, but in the streaming mixer market I just think the Wave XLR is the best route to go. You don't get the faders(which I got to a point where I rarely touched them on my GoXLR), but you save $100 and get an insanely robust software

[@mmm2096]

Plus combining that with the stream deck, using the buttons to control levels, its the best option I think as well man.

[@locomotionchannel]

Im actually trying to decide between either Wave XLR, GoXLR mini, or this --- YOu'd say Wave Link is the best software of all? (I would be using a USB mic for starters)

[@BaxTechYT]

@@locomotionchannel Oh yeah, the Elgato Wave software is top notch in my opinion!

[@CrunchyFluids]

@@locomotionchannel Why would you bother with a Wave or a GoXLR if you aren't even going to be using an XLR microphone?

[@kavelab699]

The biggest downside to the Elgato Wave XLR for me is the lack of DSP/Equalizer, I really want that.

[@VNCNT_M]

elephant in the room, your mom. jezus i almost died ^^ 2:04

[@KilianPro]

wtf 2:03 killed me hahah

[@idolizedt5401]

If TC Helicon or competitors made one of these with proper speaker outputs too, I'd buy one. But apparently it's too hard to add 2 1/4" jacks to all of these devices. Frustrating.

[@DejoyTV]

yooooo the og tony hawk pro skater music in the background, game had such a great soundtrack

[@gameloser123]

This dual shot with the mixer and the software is beautiful. the semi transparency of the window is a great touch

[@zertholemu6221]

its overpriced, unless youre actually going to be indepthly tuning your voice as if youre a professional singer, its pointless as a streamer let alone a game streamer, youre better off with a k1 or a v8 model sound card. 20 to 30 bucks , is rechargable, does not require a pc, and comes with a mic, this audio mixer doesnt even come with a mic and is 10 times higher than a k1 or a v8, and the k1/v8 also comes with many buttons for on board sound effects.

[@rexulplayz7138]

your videos have helped me so much and keep up the good work

[@xscallcos4835]

How good is the dac? Do you have any low power iems or just mobile headphones to test any noise without the ground loop isolators? Do the ground loop isolators hurt the sound quality at all? (do they cut out everything that is quiet?)

[@misled_who9413]

As A non-streamer who wanted to use XLR and replace a DAC this is a good tool. It was easy to setup has enough customization and doesn't need any third party software. I originally have use the GSX1000 for headphones before. I gave the Elgato Wave a chance because it was $150 but, sound quality with just the stock system was not what I wanted. The software was not good for me. So I gave this a try and I can safely say that it does everything I need. As a streaming tool I believe its good enough not perfect. For a average user and maybe a Vocal recorder and Podcaster it should get the job done. This is for someone that does not want to spend hours getting a tool like this set up. The price sucks, but the it should drop soon.

[@TheRealMuckomon]

Hi, ehm so the past few months I've been getting static sound and audio cuts whenever I have multiple sound on like a game, chat and music. It used to be fine but as soon as I have more than 2 audio sources on it does that. So would a mixer work or is it just better to get a new pair of headphones?

[@tomramsay2357]

I know this is using XLR from the mic, but if the sound is going through USB to your PC, does it have that annoying split second delay when you use effects? Or is this real-time like a true XLR/phono input?

[@Zenbeau]

Razer Audio Mixer gain range is from -12 dB to +39.7 dB. However Shure SM7b needs a pre amp with gain of 60 dB. So how does this mixer power the mic efficiently when it doesn't meet the requirements?

[@TeknoBlast]

How is it functional with wireless headsets and USB mics? Wireless headset is what I use to hear my guests and use a USB mic to speak to my guests during a podcast. Seems like mixers in general require everything to be plugged into directly into the mixer device. Thank you.

[@loudstone9193]

How do you use a type c port to use a good mic on a console. I’m genuinely interested because my mic on my Xbox is bad but I don’t mind the headphone quality

[@DanPlageman]

great vid, can you please a review on the huntsman mini analog? not a single review yet and would love your feedback

[@bruhgamer_4596]

Where did you buy your hoodie? It looks cool

[@cdchanger5]

Idk why but 2:19 made me laugh so hard lmao

[@CarkerVT]

1:30 i had this problem before with my 3 monitor setup. A way i found out to get rid of this hum was to get an apple adapter. With my pc i have a usb-c male to 3.5 headphone female connector thing and it completely got rid of the hum and it was like less that $10 too. I forgot why but the adapter is basically a small dac

[@ryandaverayla4910]

Hello, I'd like to ask if this can work with Razer's Seiren mini? I have 3 minis here, hoping to rig them together for a mobile podcast setup. Thanks

[@thesprucelodgechannel]

I have this and I installed the firmware, updated it, and I've done everything to set it up besides having an XLR microphone. I choose "Razer audio mixer" in the pc settings for system and mic, and I have no sound. Do you have any advice?

[@husko81]

i was not prepared for utter shock of hearing the RebelTaxi intermission music for the review itself this looks sick though

[@Sny-]

Does the mic monitor have any delay? It doesn't take much sidetone delay to be very distuptive for those who need/desire it.

[@DECEX90]

Hello, could I connect: 1 gaming headset (mic + headphone), stereo powered speakers, a separate XLR microphone, and some IEMs all at the same time?

[@i8m]

Huge missed opportunity. They could've easily added some additional features to make it a compelling alternative over the goxlr mini. Instead they just cloned it, likely with lower quality internal hardware, and jacked up the price..

[@notelkz]

It's a compelling choice over the GoXLR already, just for the fact It doesn't have the HORRIBLE TC Helicon software.

[@sl1ckr1ck63]

Do these amplify your game audio as well?

[@noxianjungler]

bleep button was def a missed opportunity with a macro button or like what you talked about

[@FrFrFrog]

Here the GoXLR mini is £133 on Amazon while the Razer Audio mixer is £259. For that price, I really don’t care about the voice changer 😐

[@c2chris889]

is this the tony hawk pro skater background music!????? i love it pure nostalgia

[@Angels2OP]

Does anyone know the max gain this can achieve? Wanna make sure Its good for the Shure MV7.

[@flubster1331]

I have been waiting for this!

[@jarodfoshey985]

Does all of this act like a microphone input that I can use to change not only my stream but audio in my calls on discord?

[@briangodfrey2015]

So I like your speakers, looked them up and there unavailable. Do you have any other suggestions?

[@user-om4il1ps8g]

what is that digital white circle clock in your setup?

[@Holfyy]

Can't wait to see a Corsair/Elgato GoXLR style

[@drexb6362]

Did you add different ear cups to that headset?

[@nashsanadiki3104]

Wave Xlr 2 must have the headphone ports at the front pleaser 👏

[@WildShakz]

Can this be used on my ps5 and can you use one of the ports as an aux port?

[@odd02]

Razor did well with most of it...except for the the price. They should of priced it around $200 or less like Frank said. Though me personally i think the GoXlr is little bit better. But i am bias since i have a goxlr mini so yeah.

[@Marshmellow244]

How well can this power a set of 250ohm headphones??

[@MissKalunji]

When you turn off the PC does the device turn off too or stays turned on like the GO XLR? Thx

[@koopaa13]

I like the Tony Hawk Pro Skater Menu Theme in the background.

[@missheepious]

How do you select what headphones to use though. do you have to plug into the mixer to hear your sources? I was planing on buying the whireless kraken v3 pros

[@para-square]

in windows it should be its own output source, so you can use your wireless headphones and still be fine

[@EndEverEsports]

But why a bleep button? Even if I wanted one, I would need a double kick bleeps to keep up.

[@jarodfoshey985]

So can these settings be used for game chat in discord or games?

[@LegendsOfLiberation]

I was looking for a replacement for my m-audio 2x2 - tempting but that price tag

[@flamegent]

Hey frank! big fan, this is a little random but would you be willing to do a roundup or tier list of the best gaming controllers that you can use for PC gaming. I know you talked about one that you useIn the video showing off your personal peripherals but I would be interested to see a few other options that you think are worth the money or neat in some way! you know of a lot of really cool companies that do custom stuff and also I personally agree with most of your opinions when it comes to things like this. def consider it if you see this comment

[@slinkolity8101]

yeah thats a good idea

[@Ghostly_Knight]

im still looking for one thats similar to this. while I am ok with getting a new mic to make it work, I'm more interested in one that can help me change audio sources on the fly with a push of a button and I can adjust the audio mixer volumes without tabing out.

[@danieldt650]

Take a look on the Beacn Mix Create. I think thats what you are looking for

[@Ghostly_Knight]

@@danieldt650 it is. thank you. i will say that I can do with out the screen and just the buttons but at least I know that there is something available for my use

[@gabri_777]

It is not bad, but to take it up a notch they should have added sub-mixes, since they already implemented them in the new siren mini.

[@ishaanshah7461]

edit* its pretty buggy but pretty sure sybnapse 3 is beta

[@HungryAvocados]

@@ishaanshah7461 synapse is pretty much a virus

[@Blooest]

@@ishaanshah7461 It's not. And even if it were, when it's absolutely required for hardware that's on store shelves, and there's no stable version, the only way it's a "beta" is a shitty attempt to deflect anger about how buggy it is. Retail customers are not agreeing to be beta testers out of the box. Just because you're selling the hardware and not the software directly doesn't give you a free pass to release buggy products.

[@DCANTIN56]

Synapse actually was screwing up my Tartarus Pro, once I uninstalled it the keyboard worked great lol.

[@Pobbatron]

I’m not sure if the go xlr mini is not compatible with macs I don’t have a mac at the moment. I know the go xlr mini has no mac software so not one really does this better than the other one.

Very nice review as always! 😃 You should totally check out the BEACN Mix Create! 😄

[@teal3509]

Can I use this with a wireless headphone and a usb mic?

[@CrunchyFluids]

Biggest leg up this will have is a dedicated support staff hired by Razer over TCHelicon and their process of delegating GoXLR troubleshooting to volunteers that populate their Discord

[@JimboJamboYT]

never had a problem with TC's support on their discord. took them like 5min to reply with a full fix for my issues. If anything razer is gonna use a ticket system thatll take them a week to get back to you.

[@CrunchyFluids]

@@JimboJamboYT Wish I could say the same. I have had to do the problem solving for the support volunteers far too often for my liking.

Please tell me the price tag ain’t because they included two GLI 😊

[@RobertJBareIII]

I know it was mostly a joke, but I rather prefer those rubber keys for something audio related. I don't need a clunky mechanical switch on my audio gear that'll make unnecessary noise when the rubber style buttons work fine (as long as there is a somewhat tactile bump to them).
