The Stream Deck Plus setup with an Audio Interface and Wavelink.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

I noticed as I picked voice chat as my virtual input the software automatically forces me to aux 2 for my ssl2+ let me know what it does for you.

[@dralezero]

I don't have a Plus (I have regular deck and wave mic) but doing some research on what is possible with a Plus and a different mic. I use Voice Chat channel for listening to all my discord and in game VCs. So that makes sense to me for having the mic on aux or something else

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

@dralezero cool I just noticed with a audio interface it forced me to aux channel but either way it let's me do what I want. I still use it as my main setup today.

[@makkertjeingmar6802]

Does it work with a beringher interface and a rode podmic?

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

@@makkertjeingmar6802 so if your audio interface has the ability to mix usb audio with the mic input like many do. I showed this in the video. It will make the best experience. The xlr mic doesn't matter any will do. The audio interface is the key.

[@makkertjeingmar6802]

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan so if the interface has that can you connect a arctis pro wireless to it because that has a seperate deck to control audio?

Great! Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what I wanted to know. I didn’t know the wave link software was part of the package. I was going to buy the Wave XLR to replace the Presonus io24 I have in order to use the Stream Deck Plus. I’m glad I came over your video! I’m ordering a Stream Deck Plus right away.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

Thanks for watching!! So all this Is new and not many people have done this. So when you watch I talk about how my audio interface has the ability to mix my mic with what is going out in my usb mix. That is a huge reason this works with this setup otherwise you can't the total output volumes. I have been loving this setup and have used a wave xlr and enjoyed it but like I now have more inputs and outputs with better quality.

I use a Lewitt Ray microphone with the Connect 2 audio interface. Does this mean I can continue to use Connect 2 as an interface to the Wavelink software for my Ray microphone? If so, I am very excited. By the way, my Stream Deck Plus is on the way, and I learned more from 2 of your videos than hours of trying to find out how to set up the Plus.. thank you

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

That's great to hear this!! 😀 so yes you would pull in the wave audio as the whole ball of wax into your software. You custom route each audio you want to control like I showed. The key is if your audio interface let's you hear the usb mix and your mic live going out. I showed that example on my ssl2. Lmk how it goes. I love this setup much more then using my rodecaster pro ll.

Hello, After having 2 extensive conversations with Elgato tech support, I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the results. I have the Elgato Prompter, Facecam Pro 4K , and the Stream Deck + and both Wavelink software and OBS and used the Black Edition of the Blue Yeti. Despite the Elgato plug ins 4 Wavelink software to control clipping and eliminate background noise, the video looked like i had AC on (which I did not). I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated. I have no idea what to do.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

Leonard that's my Grandfathers name...watch this video I did with the blue yeti. The free noise reduction worked great. This stuff takes time to learn. I've spent hours and hours teaching myself. The other vst I've paid for like 30 bucks is the simple and effective NS1 pluggin. It works well and is easy to us. The free one works well too just a little less control. One other thing is test test test....this way you don't record for nothing. Watch this whole video lmk if it helped. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKGsfIF9rsSGrq8si=lNqUF6vtPaopzrC3

[@leonardboyer7601]

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan I saw the video before and it was very good, but I don't have a Nivida graphics card in my computer and I couldn't use the Elgato download that silences all noise. My video looks like a mess.

@leonardboyer7601 try the ns1 then. I've used it for years. KZbin ns1 vst.

[@TechTroublemaker]

I am a little bit excited about this as I want to be able to control my audio in EcammLive (mostly volume levels for each sound type) as I often forget my music is too loud and fumble to get to the setting. I have the LoopeDeck S (which is really what I thought Elgato was going for when they released this) and I am told it will control sound so I will try that too.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

Yep audio control is great. I'm not sure it how well it all works on a Mac. I can say it works great on pc.

[@leonardboyer7601]

Hello again. Your videos are awesome. I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. I have the Elgato Prompter, the Facecam Pro and the Streamdeck + with the USB hub. I also have a Black out Edition of the Blue Yeti (and other mics) plus the Razer Blackshark V2 X. I do not try to do anything with both the Blue Yeti and the headphones connected at the same time. I am feed up with both Wavelink and OBS. Can you recommend a software alternative to this terrible combination that will all me to see a text overlay while looking into the Facecam Pro using the Prompter. By the way, I heard a major AI software reviewer say he either heard or saw a preproduction 15 inch Elgato Prompter. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

Honestly if you think obs and wavelink is terrible it's just because your way over your head. Both obs and wavelink are fantastic products that thousands of people use everyday with great success. Your just a beginner most likely thinking you can learn the art of streaming in a month. It just doesn't work like that. Maybe use streamyard or evmux and pay for it monthly.

[@VlassJ]

Hello, when you monitor processed signal through elgato app, is there delay?

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

You need to monitor right out the audio interface. So you would need to do some testing and record yourself to get to where you like first. So answer is yes you would have a delay through app...and that delay would change based off your PC specs.

@@fastjeff6 I sent the beacn back so fast...I bought it early on and it was a mess on windows for me. I wanted to review it. It was horrible for me. Make sure you get rid of all the beacn drivers if you want wavelink to play nice. My streamdeck plus has worked absolutely flawless.

[@RoniTee]

Hi, Can the Stream Deck + replace the Go XLR for a dual pc stream?

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

The streamdeck plus is just the tool to route your audio and have submixes. You would still have to get a audio interface. Depending how your setup this video could help.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ7cfayYeLKWhJYsi=dQuD1Nt3dQB_9loK

[@mp_forza6184]

So I'm a bit late to this, but i got the stream deck+ and im using it with my Revelator IO24. The audio interface has hardware DSP and virtual channels or loopback mixes. The DSP seems to work fine still running through AUX2 (i think) - is the routing software pointless given i have loopback channels already??

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

So when the revelator io24 came out it was OK on paper but the mic preamps are to noisy for me. The wave link routing is more advanced. I do like the revelators dsp options but I can do well with the vst's. Either way it's great we have more and more audio options that can do so much!! Thanks for watching. Also yes your dsp's will carry though in the wavelink routing.

[@rostad89]

how do it set this up while using my goxlr? i want to controll everything on me streamdeck+ but still be able to use and hear my samples and voice effects trough my goxlr. The routing to get this set up is a nightmare cause the only output i can find from the goxlr in the wavelink list is the goxlr chat channel cause the Broadcast stream mix (that is the source from the goxlr in total) aint visible and nobody have made a video about it yet on youtube

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

The streamdeck + just works as a volume control and will only work with what outputs are available. All this is new stuff. What I do know is I've seen PC 🖥 get confused by having both the GOXLR software and the wavelink software at the same time. So this may not work for what you want. Me personally I'd rather have better preamps and dynamic range with my audio interface then voice effects. So sometimes you have to choose what is a must have. Thanks for your comment.

[@milanzeeman4454]

Is it possible to use any interface with the stream Deck plus or is there specifics where I need to look at like a audient id44 Is that possible

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

That's a great question. The one thing I pointed out in the video that for me was a must was having the ability to hear and balance my mic and usb bus. If you missed it watch the whole video. From what I know audient has this ability. Especially with there newer software .

[@milanzeeman4454]

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan great to hear because I indeed heard you said that about audient. It's a very powerful device and with combination with the deck + it would make it even better.

[@milanzeeman4454]

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan i definitely understand you on how it is weird that there isn't more people with the same interest. I have looked it up and every device from audient has the same firmware updates so should be fine. There are some many inputs and outputs in the audient it sometimes weird how creators or streamers use interfaces like goxlr or any other device that says it's for streaming a better device like a real audio device for musical or vocal are better for the quality and features.

[@PeanutCupProductions]

It lets you manage Windows inputs with WaveLink, but not windows outputs. So if I have an interface that's already doing the submixes (i.e. MOTU or RME) and I just want to control the gain on the individual audio devices, I can't seem to do so with WaveLink. Is there any way to accomplish this?

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

I'm not sure I'm following. Ok I have a interface that controls submixes also but if that same device does not give you options to route with virtual channels what your trying to accomplish may be not possible. When you say control the gain on individual devices. You mean the device your using like the ssl I'm using??? I can set the gain on the device and then only control the the percentage of what I set from the input I set in wavekink. It's confusing when we aren't face to face lol

[@PeanutCupProductions]

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan I think you got it! So like MOTU and RME give you those virtual devices that show up in Windows as outs (much like what ElGato does with the Chat/Music/Aux channels). For example MOTU has Line 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. I would have liked the Streamdeck+ to assign and control the gain on those virtual audio devices, because I've already setup my submixes (and post fader effects like compression etc) inside the MOTU using those channels.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

OK I just checked myself with my other audio interface same here I don't get the 1&2 3&4 ect channels I instead get a full mix my mix A and mix B my loopback and mic 1 or mic 2. Either way it seems like it depends on what the audio interface puts out and what wavelink sees. So yep this is all new data people will have to test for themselves. In my situation though I'm extremely happy with the results. Thanks for the comments this is all great information 👍

[@PeanutCupProductions]

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan Thanks for checking! I tried with the Beacn Mix Create and it doesn't support what I want to do either, but, confusingly, the Beacn Mix does! Will be nice to see Elgato add this feature at some point

Can you plug a headset into the elgato steam deck plus

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

Great question. It's not a audio interface so no. It acts as a audio volume controller and virtual mixer with the use of the wavelink software that comes with the streamdeck plus. So you would plug your headset into either a usb mic or directly into a audio interface.

[@johnmerwin5442]

Ok thank you so to clarify I can plug my headset into about dac /amp and control all mixing with the stream dec?

@@johnmerwin5442 I wish I could tell you yes but to be honest there is no info on this that I've seen. I'm sharing this and some tips to help people see what works and why.
