The Wavelink software always came with a wave product. The wave3 usb mic or the Wave XLR. Many people wanted the Wavelink software to be sold as a stand alone software. So we waited and waited!! Now finally along with the near perfect tool witch is the streamdeck plus. The software was sold as a unit. I was excited to hear how people were using it with there own audio interfaces for streaming and creating but I have seen no one talking about it or any videos made.
So I took it upon myself to do the best I could to show my setup and how I'm working the process along. So let me know what you think and if you have any input. Thanks a bunch John

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?

John your videos are evolving in incredible ways!! But what I like is the useful content is not getting lost at all and continues to very useful. I now have this little gadget on my wish list!!

That's what I'm saying!!! 🤣 It really is awesome I love the setup. Thanks so much for watching.

[@atobit2765]

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.

[@atobit2765]

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan excellent! I’ll get Stream Deck Plus tomorrow, I’m sure it is was I was looking for.

thx good video :D

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

Glad it could help. Thanks 👍

[@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.

[@lancelot222]

Man, your background looks so great! What do you use to get the 'circle' of you? When you go between full-screen of you talking and the circle of you talking. That looks so good!

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

First Thanks for the compliment!! I made both myself in Canva and photopea which are both free. I did a little live about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3K2gZWPiq2JrKs start at about the 10:30 min mark They were my first overlays I ever made from scratch. My man focus is is helping people improve on KZbin and livestreaming.

[@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.

[@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

[@RoniTee]

This helped. Thank you so much for your reply. @@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan

[@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

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

I have had the beacn products and what you were told makes no sense as the mix create has everything the lower model has plus. So that's really weird.

[@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.

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

@milanzeeman4454 so I know mkii has the new software just not sure the older units can do it. Honestly I think using great audio interfaces and the streamdeck plus is so amazing I can't believe this video doesn't have 50k views lol

[@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.

Under stream mix I do not see stream output

I assume you followed the instructions to first update your wavelink and streamdeck software first before anything?

@@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan Yes. Followed what the manual/booklet said too. And downloaded everything directly from Elgato's website.

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?

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

@@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. So until people try things out no one knows for shure. For me the monitor mix on my audio interface was a big reason for success. This is all uncharted territory and we learn as we go.

[@WayneInBlood]

Got my Interface to work, now cant get my system (no AISO) to work

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

That's not enough info what are you trying to do. Your Aiso drivers that work in a DAW may not work the same for wavelink.

I discovered that when using Stream Deck and Wavelink, there is a delay in sound.

[@ThankGodEverySingleDay]

How do I use my stream deck soundboard to play for my audience on my kick stream? I can hear the soundboard in my headphones but my audience cannot hear them. I have my stream deck plugged into my gaming PC. Should I plug it into my streaming PC instead? I thought the sound board would travel into my streaming pc like every other sound does but it simply does not. I’m using a el gato HD60 X capture card . Please help sir 😞

[@CoffeeTalkandTechJohnRyan]

So I dont have alot of info but are your pc windows settings correct? Your output should be wavelink stream. What software are you using to stream? Obs??? What are your setting there? Are you using a usb mic, audio interface? When you say soundboard what exactly are you routing? And how?
