The GoXLR.. Back From The Dead

[@Senpai]

UPDATE: By the time we put this out, the $169 version of the GoXLR was off amazon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I did find one for $166 but it ships from Japan and takes a couple months. For some of you, it's worth it for the price. I linked it in the description.

[@HidraCorpRep]

Can u plz do a optimal Eq video for combos like the GoXlr mini and rode podemic , or waveXlr and the rode podmic and so on for streamers that is having trouble in finding that right Eq for there voice?

[@kronosrazer]

I cant find this update... all I can find is 1.6.4 from June (EDIT: NM, that is the one, had it and didnt realize it)

[@puupow]

I almost thought you would never make any videos on this since they added in submixes! I almost thought i was gonna have to make a Senpai Gaming style video myself!!

[@Nubsauce]

169 version is back btw

[@HeliconGaming]

We back. Thank you so much for the feedback. We get that it was a rough journey for the GoXLR users for some time, so we're happy to see that people are still welcoming it into their setups! Although, we don't want it to feel like we're just updating the thing and then everything's fine - we get that there might be some confusion or trust issues. We strive to be as transparent as possible so in case you guys have anything you'd like to ask here and now, feel free to reply here and I'll give a fair shot at answering any questions coming my way. Sincerely, the social media guy

[@Brss-gv9wu]

Please make the EQ better, I love the GOXLR but the EQ is just too old and not optimized at all for non experts. Thank you very much in advance

[@Theonlyshaun]

Is there a way to select between the mixes on the fly without going into the software?

[@drownem2920]

Wouldn’t mind VST support for better sound suppression/audio gate options. ❤️

[@HeliconGaming]

@@Theonlyshaun Unfortunately we don't have a way to do it via the buttons on the GoXLR itself. Only doable via app at this point.

[@HeliconGaming]

@@drownem2920 VST support is something we're bringing up from time to time but can never really land how we want it to work. On the flipside, specifically for noise suppression, we've gotten quite far since we launched the GoXLR, so rest assured that future options will have better DSP (as it should, imo!)

[@Nathan_Lundstrom]

A 6 year old device that only got 3 and a half years of development…I’d say playing catch up is fine - as long as they are refining the ‘catch up’ features in a way that makes it just as good or better than the best implementation on the market, it gives me hope for the V2!

[@SeanSeebran]

Yep, I'm happy to still be getting new features after all this time. I'm happy they didn't forget about us and just moved on to the next new thing.

[@kronosrazer]

Considering most of the dev team left to Beacn, first deciding whether to continue, rebuilding a team, etc. All takes time, look at Beacn, its been years and they are still in Beta because they screwed up the first time and had to start over.

[@itsdarkos]

100% agree id rather they catch up and care about theyre existing consumers, then busting out a new device from the get go. Gives me more trust for future products for maintaining a product

[@LuckyGhost]

Great vid as aways, but for once I disagree with ya :) Goxlr is the only device that lets me hear myself back in real time, with all of the vocal effects applied, without latency issues. The other devices you mention start giving me latency in my headset when monitoring myself with the filters, compressions etc applied. Drives me nuts. Combine that with how well the goxlr handles 2pc setups. and For those reason I'd recommend Goxlr above the other options for anyone that that can afford it. Plus I love my shure SM7B Really excited at the prospect of a Goxlr 2. I've tried the beacon, and the others you mentioned here, and they are amazing on software, but a huge step down on hardware. It felt like they were trying to cut corners on hardware and make up for those cut corners with software. and it would probably have worked, if I'd never experienced a GoXLR. A Golxr 2 that retains the quality hardware, with more modern software is my dream. Or a beacon that retains the software but gets better hardware would be great! The size of it doesn't bother me at all. If good hardware takes a little extra room on my desk, keep it big baby!

[@flamethrowr_]

How did you get the GoXLR to give you sidetone with all of the vocal effects applied? My sidetone does not have any EQ.

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

I love my GoXLR. Nothing beats the quality of being able to hear your own voice with EQ applied live.

[@BreezzersGaming]

Listening to yourself is creepy, just don't do it

[@BravesFan]

@@BreezzersGaming Not creepy at all. Ever heard of sidetone? Been around for a LONG time, and it has its uses. You use it every time you use your phone, whether you realized it or not. Being able to hear yourself speak has its benefits.

[@RonnieBlaze281]

@@BreezzersGaming i think most professionals have their mics feed back to them.. if i dont i tend to start yelling since i can not hear how loud i am.

[@Disposalist]

@@BreezzersGaming If you don't listen to yourself you don't know what you sound like in your mix and also can end up shouting because of the isolation effect of your headphones.

[@DKTD23]

Just to make it clear, you can change the settings to turn off the sidetone on the GoXLR if you don't want to hear it.

[@logokas]

For me, the GoXLR never died. I was able to pick one up used for 250 AUD just a few months ago and I couldn't be happier with it. It was THE mixer back then, and in many ways I think it's still THE mixer today. So many people still have one of these on their desks, and to have an official second coming of the king is just..sublime.

[@bunno_snags3494]

I got lucky and got a sealed goxlr mini for $50 because sombody bought one and followed the goxlr is dead movement paird that with a rode pidmic on sale for $100 and a xlr cable for $15 full xlr setup for less then the mini sells for I can't complain 😂

[@demck85]

Having line out to be able to switch back and forth between headphones and speakers is the only reason I've stayed with my GoXLR mini.

[@RiccardoLulli]

Yeah, that is golden! I set up a button on my Stream Deck to switch GoXLR profiles between the headphones profiles and the speakers profile.

[@terryshaw13]

Same, having speakers plugged into Line Out, headphones plugged into headphones. Then I have the "system" fader set to headphones and use the mute button for that to mute all. So to switch from speakers to headphones is as simple as turning speakers off, and un muting headphones. I was tempted to switch to Elgato's solution, but they as well as any other "modern" device only have one output source. Which means to be able to switch from headphones to speakers requires a separate device to split the audio which then ruins the space saving advantage of the newer products. I've never understood why other products do away with a second 3.5mm port.

[@RayTonz]

My full size GoXLR is still going strong. I've had it for about 5 years now and it's still my favorite streamer related purchase and well worth it. It does exactly what I need/want it to do, I've had zero issues with it, even when everyone (Harris included) made videos saying it was dead and to jump to other options, I never had any issued with it working just fine. I love the way it looks on my desk as well as interacting with it, especially the sliders.

[@Jartukainen]

I was inspired by your GoXLR video back in the days, and just plug it in after many years, even found my powersupply. And it worked perfectly, this works actually better than I remember or mayby I know more about the audio, it was not easy at start to use. I end up to build a small studio, but I will use this at home from now on.

[@SeverSideShow]

Hello everyone! I’ve been using the GOXLR Mini for couple of years, and I can confidently say that in terms of streaming on Twitch and creating content for KZbin, it’s one of the best interfaces out there. Pros: It has a relatively decent microphone preamp. While it gets quite noisy at the maximum level of 72 dB, it operates relatively quietly within the 60 dB range. I’m also pleased with the ability to use it for dual-PC streaming. Cons: The Rodecaster Duo is existing. It’s obviously much more expensive, but the price difference is entirely justified. I don’t like using 3.5mm jack cables to connect two PCs together-it feels outdated. Plus, this type of connection tends to introduce noise, and you might need to buy an additional ground loop noise isolator. The DSP is generally good but less capable compared to the Rodecaster. Conclusion: Buying the GOXLR Mini is a great choice if you’re on a budget. However, if you can afford the Rodecaster Duo, the choice is obvious.

[@iamhoki]

GoXLR user here (big one, with the motorized faders, and also probably my first time commenting on this channel). I got this used for about $250 at a Guitar Center (thanks Harris for inspiring me to look for one when you first made videos about them), and while I'm more of a producer rather than a streamer, having a good quality interface for your mic was important (using a Shure SM7dB with it ATM). Frankly, after about seven months of use with it, I can say it's one of the best interfaces that I've worked with. As stated, I'm more of an EDM producer instead of a streamer, so I ended up having to use a headphone amp to drive my headphones. I probably wouldn't recommend it, given the DAC wasn't designed to use for music production, but it still sounds good imo, and honestly, most headphones will work with it. Plus, given the current features it has rn, I feel like it's relatively easy to set up, as long as you can overlook the dated software, which leads to my next point. I do hope they build upon the software features to match those in line with current competitors, and while I do agree with what Harris says regarding trust on a 6-year-old product, especially given how long it has taken them to add Submixes, I do have hope they can bring it back to its former glory, as I believe this could still be a #1 for many streamers and content creators, especially if they want the essential hardware at their fingertips. That's it. If you read this far, I hope you have a lovely day! Love yourself, okay?

[@cleavergaming]

When the device was first called "dead" I bought a full-size goxlr used for $100. I'm happy with the purchase. It still worked and much better than what I had at the time. These updates probably aren't anything I'll use, but it's nice to see they are adding more to the software.

[@OfficialEthern1ty]

The software is laggy but goxlr software is one of those device that doesn’t drop your PC performance. It’s also mostly hardware based. IMHO, much better than software based solution which tends to be bloatware

[@Red-ck2hw]

The author says the GoXLR has a bad EQ, meanwhile the steinberg ur22c just has a lame EQ, the ability to turn on the gate or compression selectively, not together. The GoXLR looks perfect against it.

[@WuzzaFuzza]

My brother gave me his mini and I love it…had it for over a year and I really don’t have to mess with it. Always works and it even turned me into the party DJ with the sample channel 🕺

[@JonoFunk]

I use a full GoXLR and a Mini connected to link my gaming & streaming PCs. I can hear everything from headset and, with 8 sliders, I've got plenty of control. I have a huge desk so the space isn't that much of a deal breaker. I'm just happy that the software is getting QoL improvements even after 6 years. Not many hardware products get length of support beside emergency patches.

[@fraliexb]

I just purchased the original Go XLR for my new streaming setup I'm about to endeavor into. Road trip vlog, and then PC gaming content creator when I'm "parked" for however many days, then travel to the next place. See the country and try to make a living online. 🤞🏻 I'm also 45 YO, here goes adventure...

[@Mr_Tea_Rexx]

they were never dead all it was, was restructuring on what location branch was taking over... everyone jumped the gun saying it was dead

[@thyphear]

I mean the fact that they CAN update a 6 year old device to include modern features is honestly sweet. And I'm glad they are back into it. It was revolutionary, and I think they could be again.

[@dakotahbill9936]

Been using a mini for years from your old recommendation! Actually recommended it to a few friends off of my personal experience with it. Glad to see its getting love again!

[@tohruleonis]

Ever since the whole "GoXLR is dead" movement started, I stayed with it. I felt this was a roadbump for TC Helicon but when they announced the update and hinted that they were developing a GoXLR 2, I couldn't walk away from them. But to each their own. 🦁

[@JayTeeCooks]

I got a GoXLR when it originally released and have never had any major problems. Still use it daily and it’s still one of my favorite purchases I’ve made.

[@fraliexb]

Hey potential tip for any content creator, 8:09 I always see videos where they can't remember what corner the links are. I say place a note card to the top left of your camera area for a visual reminder of the correct corner.

[@doctor_radical]

I just set mine up again a few weeks ago after dusting it off, and it's been nice with all the features that other mixers I've used still don't have, and as long as they continue on the upward wave they seem to be on, I'd happily replace it with a new one!

[@triggermantv]

i have not seen you talk about the 3 items you talked about. But my number 1 reason to use this is for dual pc setup

[@xrawszn349]

i love my GoXLR, Still going strong and doesn't feel outdated to me the submixes are great and the faders feel satisfying

[@TfChronikeur]

I just bought the GoXLR Mini last week. As someone who doesn't know a thing about audio, it's been a struggle to know what Hertz goes with what kind of sound. I can't tell you how many videos I have watched to get a somewhat audio bump in clarity. You know I'm down bad when I can't even hear the difference from Hertz to Hertz.

They have a community on something that starts with Disc and ends with ord (think comment is auto removed if I combine them). They used to, and it seems like it's still there a possibility to send in a audio clip, and get some help to set it up. Search for TC Helicon Gaming and the app name.

[@1337dad]

Have Mini, went to an Elgato Stream Deck + XLR and was not impressed with mic monitoring. Massive delay if you want to hear the EQ applied to your voice and raw audio only real time mic monitoring, no way. Took it back right away. Sticking with the tried and true GoXLR!

[@Neil3D]

Eh but the latest software from TC Helicon is June 2024, what version are we talking about here and where is it?

[@prophet_alers]

I just like how the goxlr has samples. Clipping random people talking or my self to replay is the only reason I have it

[@jeremyinthebay]

I LOVED my GoXLR (big one) with my Shure SM7B. I didn't register it when I bought it and over some time it developed a buzzing sound that I couldn't get rid of (I changed cabled, cleaned it, etc). I reached out to see if support could replace it and they said since it wasn't registered, even though I have my receipt, they wouldn't do anything for me. I ended up getting a Wave XLR and going down that route but I've never been able to replicate that clarity and smoothness of my voice (I'm a bass). I wish I could trust the support of TC Helicon because I would buy a mini in an instant just to get my old voice quality back.

[@BigReachStudios]

I bought a go xlr recently for seamless console and pc gaming. it's been great so far.

[@complete-mayhem-x64]

I still have a GoXLR mini and I do love the extra connectivity on the back.

[@D.H.H.D]

At the core of the device it’s an audio DSP for the consumer market. I’m glad they’re pushing updates and we don’t need to be replacing our DSPs every year with some new product. The goxlr should last for many many years. I deploy some of the largest DSP solutions using Q-SYS and let me tell you they’re not upgrading anytime soon because it’s an evolving platform with software updates. Good for the TC helicon team for pushing software updates to extend the hardware’s life.

[@bigriff9946]

I actually bought a GoXLR mini about 2 years ago, on Ebay they can be got for like $60/$70 which is an INCREDIBLE price. The only issue that I have with mine is that if you knock it, it can disconnect for a second but I think I got a bad cable/usb port on mine.

[@SeanSeebran]

To be honest, I totally love my GoXLR and wouldn't be switching it out any time soon. It has a ton of gain, more than enough for a Shure SM7B, the pre-amps are pretty clean, plus it just makes it a ton easier for a dual PC streaming setup. I also like my Elgato products and software as well. You can't go wrong either way. It's always great to have choices 😀

[@dabusdruva]

Same same same

[@FlopLid]

The goXLR mini also goes on sale for ~$100 on Amazon on black Friday’s, which is when I bought mine :)

[@CodyYouKnowMe]

I love my go xlr and in my opinion it was never dead, as for the sub mixes it’s not necessary for myself I like to hear the same stuff my stream hears and it just makes the audio an extra hassle for me, all in all it’s a great device and I saved up for mine 20 dollars at a time for a long time, so until it actually stops working altogether I’ll still be using it

[@designgears]

They're not going to add a lot of modern features, they're saving that for the GoXLR 2.

[@biggusshrimpus9156]

The others will play catch up to it as he says

[@LuminairPrime]

They aren't holding back; the hardware is very old and limited. I watched smart devs on their discord work for years and not make much progress. What you are seeing in this video is the result of many people trying their best.

[@Broussky88]

Great video. I've had the GoXLR Mini since it launched, and I've had zero issues with it.

[@drownem2920]

My only issue with the GOXLR was always that the gate/sound suppression was never great. I could never get it to consistently cut out background noise without cutting my voice out. Moved to a USB mic that worked with VSTs cause they had better options.

[@ericzimmer6896]

something i found which im not sure if anyone notices (not sure if it was in the device before the update though. in the routing tab you can click the headphone icons on each of the outputs and listen to the audio of all the ticked inputs to check them. not really sure the use case for it but its there anyway.

[@Pedrocas]

YESS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG

[@TheMalicioustoast]

Actually got a goxlr full size used with the plastic cover still on it for $250, I love this thing. It’s pretty big, but fits under my stacked monitors on the base of my monitor stand and doesn’t get in the way at all. Love having sound samples for dnd sessions and just goofing off on discord, but having physical sliders and being able to mute channels is mostly what I got it for. At the time it was cheaper than the Roland bridge cast and I’m what pokemaine calls a broke boi, so no regrets here.

[@MechTechRW]

I pulled my GoXLR out of retirement last week after i heard of the updates. I love how crisp it sounds. The effects are so nice with the adjustable knobs. I love it more than my RCP2 and I want to use it full time, i just need 2 XLR inputs. I watched an interview with their new software developer, and I feel pretty confident he can deliver what we need for GoXLR 2.

[@Rewy_AU]

Very happy to see Go XLR getting updates to be on par with other devices. I've had the full sized go xlr for years now. My experience with it is... I love it, It made everything so much easier to adjust on the fly, and when I moved to a two pc set up, I was able to use the ocular input for my gaming pc. Sure it's huge, but it works for me. Honestly had no idea it updated until i saw the video tho. Thank You Senpai!

[@ionrage]

I'm sorry, did I hear that correctly, the team hired someone to work on this, then what was the exact reason the Beacn team that worked for them got laid off for then? This kinda feels like maybe Beacn guys weren't the good guys after all.

[@LuminairPrime]

TC Helicon abandoned the GoXLR for years, it had nothing to do with the quality of the staff. It was literally YEARS before the company noticed the product again

[@Manpie]

Sacked mine off when they announced it was going to be an expensive paper weight and got a Roland Bridge Cast instead and honestly, 10/10, would highly recommend.

[@AJCascio]

As for someone who still uses the GoXLR, there are some kinks that are happening....For me it's the random deletion of the active Profile. I've created a backup of the profile and it's just as simple as dragging it back into the folder...but this started with the introduction of the auto-sleep profile. I love the GoXLR, but the Rode Podcaster 2 is the better buy for the money(assuming full price) with the ability to run 2 PC's off of the single device...but, I already have the full size and the mini GOXLR, so will run those til they no longer provide software support for them.

[@mrgusse]

I have never had that happening for me really, I don't use any sleep profile though, maybe that's more of a full-size GoXLR thing?

[@WhoIsKryp]

If I was buying a new device today, I wouldn't go with the GoXLR. But, I've had my GoXLR since it initially launched (I was there for the announcement at Twitchcon 2018), and it's still an incredible device that I have zero need to replace.

[@cakerins]

I agree that the EQ is not the most intuitive; however, the full size GoXLR has 10 frequency adjusters compared the mini with 6. That gives much more control.

[@sodabuns]

when is the update you show at 0:34 ? Cant find it

[@SirElrich]

The main things I wanna see are an update to the EQ and the ability to add VST's into the software to further adjust your audio. i know that it's done in unit, so you'd probably only be able to add on effects as a post chain, but my fans are loud and I can't afford quieter ones at the moment (this would also be cool for more effect options)

[@NightKnight419]

Went from the mini to a Rodecaster Duo when GoXLR was supposedly done. Hated the Rodecaster because there were so many things about it that were just too confusing. Gave in and got the full goxlr and haven’t looked back. Sometimes less IS more! And like Harris said, Faders!!! Lmao

[@Dexter2kx]

Been using my goxlr Mini for the last couple years and im happy it's getting some love again and might catch up

[@DviLGamesTV]

I sold my GOXLR’s because I got tired of waiting for submixes and went with the rodecaster pro 2. Honestly if GOXLR releases a 2.0 I would be intrigued. Only thing I want is enough virtual channels for BOTH USB I/O, not just USB 1.

[@thejacraft2]

4:20 I have noticed the same issue with my full sized go xlr, but if you don't explicitly look for it I think it doesn't matter.

[@OvidiusPrime]

Using mine until this day and I love it. 4 years strong.

[@Nolloway]

I hope they see this and take a couple notes. I still have my mini and love it.

[@iMimz]

other bad thing: very often audio cut out, need either to reinstall driver or just wait and it will fix it up in auto after some time

[@thewilberforce]

I switched to the Beacn mix create and studio. I don’t know why. The software is buggy. Am back to the GoXLR and loving it.

[@skeletor_118]

I bought a GoXLR Mini a few months ago and while it does take up a good amount of space, it has been amazing except for the fact that whenever I turn my pc off and back on, sliders stay in place but all volumes are maxxed when i turn on my pc and i have to wiggle my faders to get the volumes to adjust properly

[@Eyvls]

I'm glad they're finally catching up. I've been interested in some of these newer devices, but the cost has held me back. It's reassuring to see that my audio interface is still a strong option, especially considering the investment I made in it.

[@justinsmith1541]

@senpai my goxlr doesnt have lag when moving sliders in the program, so Im going to assume its your device.

[@og.gamer9160]

I do not believe this, I'm so glad that they are trying to make a come back.

[@AlohaCraw]

PC Panel Pro has faders. Granted it won’t do a microphone input, but it’s $70 less than this.

[@NalyoGaming]

For PlayStation 5: The Optical Audio In on the Back of the GOxlr Mini is 100% The Best thing any of these devices have for those of us on PlayStation 5 that run our PS5 through a Capture card on PC and use an XLR mic for both PC and PlayStation. To do this the Optical is required as well as a Dongle the takes the HDMI out from PS5 into dongle and splits it into optical and HDMI so it splits the audio and video video to Capture card Audio to GOxlr This is a MUST and why I still use GOXLR daily.

[@cilirhammersteel5515]

it was informative, I have this mixer was about to buy one of the newer ones since the last I heard GOXLR wasn't compatible with windows 11. So I'm glad this got updated.

[@AJCoReTV]

This thing died for me once I switched to Mac as my stream machine… I’ve gone the WaveXLR route for the PS5 capture & it’s been great! Come GoXLR add Mac compatibility & I might return.

[@GeminiNight]

WTF Bro! That opening shot was so freaking sick!

[@keepitgrimy]

Good device, nice to see them updating it. not sure i would get one at this point since i already have an alternative, but for those that already have it these updates are amazing.

I really still like the GOXLR. Glad it got some updates. The sound samples and voice effects are still really fun to use.

[@JayPC254]

My goxlr died and so did the software. Never worked again. IM so pissed because now i have a wave xlr and i will never get over having to open a window everytime i want to adjust audio levels

I still use mine everyday.. I thought about changing to wavelink, but a friend keeps having issues with his setup and inside OBS. All of the inputs keep getting reset back to "Default" and he has no sound for his stream.

I love my GoXLR. Never gave up on it.

[@itsMurasko]

Im still using my goxlr full size with the goxlr utlility from frosty slug. Them adding submixes is an nice addition, the goxlr utility also doesnt have the issue with the lagging fader somehow. Happy i bought it backt then, even happier they finally bring some long awaited features.

[@alepouna]

that intro was probably worth more than the device it self ngl

[@666thsense]

this is great news. granted it’s an old device and it has a weak headphone output, but it’s great that they’re finally bringing things forward after almost immediately abandoning it. the software and connectivity of it has always been flawed, while the hardware has always functioned great. i won’t take my rodecaster duo off the desk simply because the headphone amp and the fact that i can apply the suite to any single channel, including discord teammates.

[@shoop2215]

At 4:00 when you showed how laggy the software was I opened my software (latest update) and tried it for myself and didn't notice any lag at all. Maybe it's just different between systems?

[@darklordbazz]

Same on mine, but I have a full goxlr

[@Yumikos]

I love my GOXLR Mini, its what I use for my 2 PC setup as its simple to use and does the job, I have thought/considered moving over to Elgato but I haven't found a concrete enough setup to where I plug everything into my streaming PC and just have my gaming PC be my gaming PC (I prefer it this way as all my alerts, music and whatever else is on the streaming PC and I'd prefer to keep it that way) so for me the GOXLR has been perfect for all these years, I do think its a little bit out dated in some aspects but it still works fine and unless I find something else I dont think I'll be switching it out.

[@Magflyer]

Only reason why I can't part with my GoXLR is the sampler and the on the fly voice changer. I don't want to reinstall the voicemod since it kinda screws up the microphone quality. I'm just glad they added those features so my GoXLR feels alive again. I do wanna get the BEACN Studio though for the mic equalizer but I need to let go of my goxlr if that's the case.

[@ezreyll2]

I love my GoXLR an absolute ton, but I really do wish that Elgato Wave Link had surround sound. I just couldn't wish enough that surround sound worked for Elgato. Only reason I can't switch yet.

[@bryanthaboi]

hold up - mine does not gave that graphical delay like youre showing idk whats wrong with ur setup(s) but i dont think thats universal

[@biggusshrimpus9156]

Same for me

[@NathanielKempson]

Gunna crash the party up in here and say ive been using my Go XLR Mini for probably three maybe four years now. Its great. i like having complete control over all my audio for my live streams and for regular youtube videos. Its right there, i dont need to touch the software ever, it just works. I dont think I could live without it now!! i love being able to play music to myself while having it muted on stream and just have that at the push of a button. i like the swear bleep button too. and i love the simplistic approach to EQ aswell. I have NO IDEA what im doing, i just make my voice sound good through my headset and im done. Lil bit of extra bass on my voice, 45 compression and done. thats it. i could play around with it more to get that radio voice but im happy the way it is. if only i could solve why my mic has a strange gentle bobobobobobobobobob noise on the line XD my terrible cheap mic does not but my AT2020 does :( much sad but never mind. Go XLR Mini is very tasty and i love mine.

[@SgtZack]

have you covered the Hercules Stream 200 ? because I feel like you would like it a lot

[@xiraijuakara5988]

I used to rock my GoXLR Mini but i wont anymore. My biggest issue was it had its own electrical noise issues... For a product like this the shielding is very lack luster and people are like "yeah just get a cloud lifter" etc this etc that. I connected mine via surge protected power sockets (even tried on a seperate circuit) and optical to pc + xlr for mic and i ALWAYS had a huge feedback through the mic and often through headphones too. While it was a great product, i cant say to get this over a waveXLR anymore. Sure i miss the faders, i miss the feel of the goXLR but personally it had its own shortcomings which i couldnt live with.

You're right about the laggy software, but weirdly enough, there is a difference between input and output faders. The input (system) faders, as shown in the video, are laggy, but the output fader with, for example, headphones feels smooth and direct.

Had my mini for about 3+ years now and it's been great. When I heard it wasn't supported anymore I looked into replacements but nothing stood out for me. Now that it's getting updates again I don't have a reason to switch. Maybe if I was a new streamer I wouldn't pick the goxlr first but it's good enough now I don't need to switch.

I bought the full size GoXLR 4 years ago, based on Harris' reviews of it. I have never regretted it, not for one single second. Quite the opposite of it's "lack of features" being "deal breakers" I find all those newer "modern features" to be a bunch of extra crap that I'll probably never use. I have zero interest in "updating" and why would I? The GoXLR has everything I need and I'm happy to stick with them.

Real question: why doesn't anybody put Optical ports for input AND output? If there was a version of the GoXLR with 2 optical in and out, I think I'd pay $500 for it. I absolutely HATE aux audio. Optical is cleaner, better sounding, easier to use, you don't have to deal with static, and I literally can't remember a time where I had an optical port or optical cable go bad. On the flip side, my Headphones slot on the GoXLR died, and absolutely screeches if you plug anything into it. Sadly it happened after I was out of warranty.

Yes why go through two Analogue to SPDIF tansformers when you could go through a single ADC/DAC. Use thicker/higher quality full copper aux cables with gold plated tips and itd be the same

I've had my full-size GoXLR for a few years now and have been happy with it. The only real downside is the size, as you mentioned. Also, I tested mine and I can move my sliders faster than you were moving yours with no lag. I have to move mine ridiculously fast to get it to lag. Wonder if it's an issue with just the mini?

[@JettStreamStudio]

I got a mini for $20 because it was listed "for parts" but it just needed a new USB cable. I mainly wanted it for the preamp and If you can get a GoXLR for a decent price, go for it.

[@alex_pier]

I think all the updates might be just quality of life for all the people who stuck with it and didnt upgrade.

[@TheCrispyChip]

My Goxlr now has random half second cuts in audio every 10 seconds or so, works fine direct connections but using the goxlr now causes this i think its hardware and age related xD

[@KnoxAgain]

I'm still rocking the mini. Still works well, unless I bump into it. Having an issue with the USB B port. I move it a bit too much or the cable and it turns off and on again. I've replaced the cable so it's something internal.

Bring your own faders, hide the box. That should in theory be possible for the GoXLR with the community app, if you have faders that can be programmed. I have enough to set it up with the PcPanel Pro for myself (with custom software), but right now I am using the Revelator interface, that's also possible to setup this way (but lacks the numbers of channels). The WaveXLR is possible to get that working with, but as there is no open API for it that works with the latest version, it's going to be rough. Have some other interfaces as well, but not tried to see if they would be possible to use this way.

thought it was cool how haris mentioned about the rodecaster lol i've been back to using mine as I was still using the goxlr as it has all the different audio sub mixes and nows theres the update with the Rodecaster to have sub mixes and its wall mounted so no desk space impedances in my own space personally also edit I remember the video of haris saying he hates the shure Sm7B and now uses it all the time in product showcases allthough having that being said he did show it off as an example orginally alothough he also had that one blue yeti condencers mic he used in his old studio those were the days lol

[@Senpai]

@@2EpicGaming I don’t remember ever saying I hate the sm7b. The thing is an absolute staple in the audio industry. There was a time where every streamer wanted that $400 mic even when they couldn’t afford it and I disliked that. I intentionally used cheaper mics to show it wasn’t necessary. Maybe that’s what you’re thinking of. Either way, maybe I should consider cheaper mics again to prove their value. Thanks for the reminder, homie.
