Roland BRIDGE CAST !!! It's a musical instrument maker, and the sound is good! It is convenient to have 4 channels of loopback.

Wow great video thank you for this!! I am specifically looking for something that is known for its low latency. I just want to ensure the audio coming from my gaming PC and going into my headphones (which i imagine will be connected to my mixer) is as close to real time as possible. What do you suggest?

I have the Rodecaster Pro 2, and would suggest the newly released Duo if you do not need 4 XLR/line inputs - the Duo has 2, which might be plenty for most streamers.

Roland Bridge Cast is also a great device to replace the go xlr

Saw your tweet, was disappointed. I always used to recommend GOXLR to my clients. Razer Mixer has few bugs which are still not addressed yet since it release. I appreciate you taking time and releasing the video in 8 hours from the post. You have always helped me in ways you cant imagine. Thank You

That's too bad. The GoXLR is my favorite device for streaming.

More reasons we need to have companies to build their software/firmware in mind in that if they ever closeup/go under then open source software can replace it. Probably won't happen till the EU mandates it, but would be a huge proponent to stopping unnecessary e-waste, while also getting more people in to programming and modding.

Any suggestions on the best 2 pc setup for the Wave XLR? Willing to grab the Stream Deck + as well.

Any recommendations for a dual pc (gaming/streaming) setup? Thanks for the vid bud

I valued having the built in sound pad a little more than submixing so what I ended up picking up recently just with how approachable the cost was compared to the GoXLR was the Zoom Podtrak P4. Also being a podcaster, I can also enjoy having the built in recording functionality on top of 4 XLR ports each with phantom power and the ability to link my phone as an input and output as a USB interface.

how do I make a copy for the installer/firmware updater like you mentioned? would that be somewhere in my program files? Definitely want to future proof as much as possible.

i have a behringer xenyx 302usb, and was looking to get the goxlr mainly so i can control other audio channels while gaming and talking on discord (don't really stream or make videos, just want a good audio setup). also wanted to get something so when i launch a freshly installed game, i want to be able to turn the volume down on that game and hear others talking (can't stand how loud games are when you first start them for the first time and you can't hear anything else) are there any other devices besides the razer mixer and goxlr that can do all that?

Picked up a Rodecaster Duo and it is not a replacement for the GoXLR. The sliders/faders are assigned to a USB input. Which means you can't control your game, system, music, voice chat, mic volume, individually. The only workaround I was able to find is to connect a second usb-c from PC to Rodecaster Duo and assign my music to that input. So my music was controlled by that fader, and everything else was controlled by the other fader. Ulltimately I ended up returning the Rodecaster Duo because it just missed the mark.

Im not very familiar with audio devices like these too too much, but im looking for one in order to make some voice changer content, I currently use Voicemod, but im looking to upgrade from that and use other features with it, what should I get?

Hey EposVox! I don't know if you'll reply to this comment as this video is a bit older but do you still use your Revelator io24? I just ordered mine and I am excited to try it out, as I am tired of using my GoXLR and before I used to use the Line 6 UX2 as my interface with an Onboard DSP, however it is ancient and feels like a Fisher-Price toy. I wonder if you still daily drive it and if you don't what interface do you use / recommend that has Onboard DSP?

I have been using the Wave XLR with the Rode Podmic for about 4 months now and it is great. Picked up the Stream Deck + a little over a month ago and it has been game changing.

I like the preamps in my goxlr mini for my mic not sure if i want to get rid of it.

how do i make a backup of my installer and stuff? My goxlr is working perfectly and I don't really plan on getting a replacement anytime soon.

Have you considered reviewing the Behringer Flow 8? Not sure if it’s a multi mix but looks interesting

Been using the Revelator IO24 with the Stream Deck+ and MV7. Its been great, the only sore point is the IO24 and some of the quirks in the software interface. If you set it and don't mess with it, its fine. However it had a great tendency to seemingly revert settings which is frustrating. When I get tired of it ill most likely step up to the Rode line of products.

Ive got a Goxlr 2 weeks ago... I been wanting one for the past 2 years. Finally got my hands on one and I love it! Does this mean I am screwed as a new owner of this device?

I'm still really happy with the Avermedia Nexus tbh. Especially since they added a routing table. Been getting consistent updates too. Does everything I want, and works as a solution for 2 PC setups too. I feel like it got a bad rap on launch. The Stream Deck+ has some unbeatable value for anyone wanting to use their own interface or a USB mic too.

any suggestions for another sampler that is setup the same way as goxlrs?

Which one has better sound quality and more versatile reverb effects, RODE Caster Pro2, or GoXLR? I only do live singing.

can someone recommend which installer i should download as a pack up just incase i have a goxlr mini would be a huge help

Would love to see a review about the new Roland Bridge Cast. It seems like a great GoXLR alternative with a lot of physical control.

Are you planning to look at the Rode Streamer X? I'd really love to see you take on it!

I would love to see what you think of the Roland Bridge Cast. It seems very promising as something that could replace a GoXLR.

I'm going to be honest I have an updated the software for it in years it does exactly what I needed it to do

Shame. I was planning to upgrade my traditional Mackie mixer to it. Incidentally the new Mackie DLZ looks interesting as a replacement and hopefully you can take a look at it as well.

I’ve been using Rødes Streamer X with their Unify software, shure sm7b mic and a two PC stream setup. Works well for me and saves a ton desk real estate (previously had rodecaster 2).

welp thanks for the awesome product even though mine has it's 3.5mm jack break down twice within 1 year of use. But quick question though, does anyone really removed their protective film?

What do you think of the Lewitt Connect 6? Not a viable option or alternative?

I just picked up the Rodecaster Pro 2 open box for $400 CAD and I'm loving it so far. Few gripes with it but overall it's a really incredible tool. I actually think the Rodecaster Duo makes a lot more sense as a GO XLR replacement, in terms of price, connectivity, and functionality. As you mentioned, the Pro 2 is a bit overkill.

Actually just got around to upgrading to XLR recently and got the Yamaha ZG01 as my interface. Super solid and has the more basic overall features you could ask for and then some with the HDMI switch that pulls surround sound audio.

I'm supprised that you do not mentionned the Roland Bridge Cast, i bougth one nearly 3month ago to replace my GoXLR, and it is realy good.

I bought the Rodecaster Pro 2 as a replacement of my GoXLR a month ago to have the possibility to plug instruments and do some new stuff on my streams. I am not disappointed. It's really a good device, but it's quite expensive (but if you do the math of all the things it can do, that's not really the case).

question about the elgato wave xlr can you use a xlr splitter for 2 xlr mic audio ?

This open-source version, are they adding windows support? Or is it strictly Linux and Mac only?

I went with a medium-sized analog mixer (Mackie 1402VLZ4) instead of a GoXLR because I was concerned about losing software support someday, among other things. Glad I did.

I've been really happy with my Presonus Revelator Dynamic USB combo'd with a Stream Deck+... mostly. [This isn't seeking support here, just saying this solution isn't perfect and has some annoyances which affects workflow.] I had to install a VST to downmix the microphone to mono because for reasons I cannot comprehend it was transmitting left channel only (despite being toggled to mono in Universal Control), and also that the Stream Deck+ has this annoying bug where any input on the touch screen repeats itself after the first one. e.g.: I tap to mute the Browser (works), then tap to mute Game (unmutes Browser, does nothing to Game), tap to mute Game again (now Game and Browser are both muted), and so on, so forth. I don't dare swipe to change pages because touching anything on the new page repeats the swipe function to take me to the previous page. There's also having to mute the monitor mix from the mic in Wave Link because of the bad delay compared to just listening through the mic itself (which is where my headphones pass through, rather than the PC).

Can I use Yamaha AG03 mixer?

Its on sale rn on amazon 56% off should i get ??

All I'd love is an XLR interface with the ability to run custom VST plugins on the device. I know that would require additional hardware because they wouldn't be able to run on the DSP as most of the time that's quite specialized hardware, but just adding in what is effectively a microcomputer with just the capabilities of running VST plugins, even if limited to just a couple and under a certain size, would be very nice. It's often necessary to still add further effects to a voice other than just the typical noise gate, EQ and compression provided on most DSPs. Not that running a couple VST's cause that much work for the PC, but it's not completely negligible if you're already close to bottlenecked. For the Rodecaster Pro 2, they have released the Duo recently which is 2 XLR ports instead of 4 and 4 faders instead of 6. It's $200 cheaper at 499 instead of 699, still on the high end but you still get all the features as long as 4 physical faders and 2 XLR ports are enough. The Avermedia Nexus is getting better with each update, I still find it lacking a bit from what I've seen. As for the Beacn Mix and Mix Create I agree that most of the functionality can be achieved with a Streamdeck+ if you have one, however you'd need to find a separate solution for a routing table. the Routing table in Beacn software is in my opinion the nicest to use routing table I've seen in a software yet, and hopefully other companies take note of how intuitive and easy it is to use without lacking flexibility, I just seriously, seriously wish they have just added an XLR port to it, the idea of getting it alongside another interface is a bit silly. For USB microphones it would be fine, but for XLR setups you need an XLR interface along with the Mix. Honestly I wish they'd just release a version of the Mix Create that basically just took the internals from the Beacn Mic and connected it to XLR instead of the analog signal directly from the capsule, it'd be nice to use the Beacn software and features (for example the noise removal, not noise gate, which I haven't seen really anywhere else) on any XLR microphone.

I was just thinking when you'd upload again and my god you did

I started with a Maono mixer and mic bundle and it was a decent more "budget" option with dual XLR capability.

I still use my GO XLR Mini for all my audio. I'm still happy with it but back in early 2020 there wasn't nearly as many options out there for something like it.

I have been using the Rodecaster Pro 2 and I am one of the ones that swear by it. LOL. I have 2 pc's and a ps5 connected to this thing and it has severely simplified my setup. Gaming console does not work properly if you connect it with a usb-c. You will have to get an audio extracter at least for the PS5 and a balance 3.5mm to 2XLR Male Stereo cable and connect it to 2XLR female ports on the RC2. Great thing is you can combine the 2 ports to 1 knob on the device through the software and is very easy to do. Great thing is you do not need a hum destroyer to get the noise out. This works very well for my 3 device setup as I do not have to switch cables or do anything extra. With all the audio features to process the sound the way I want it connected to my sub and 2 studio monitors, it is like i was in a new world that I was missing out on. LOL

Wow, that was a close call, i was looking in the market for a new interface and was thinking about the boxer but wanted something that was a bit smaller but i was very close just to buying it, so I dodged a bullet on that one.

It's strange that you didn't mention the "Rodecaster Duo" that runs at exactly the same price as the GoXLR and the new FIFINE AMPLIGAME SC3 that runs around $50.00.. I know you haven't reviewed them but would really like your input on these devices..

Rodecaster Pro 2 looks extremely interesting... nice chunk of change but it looks like it has everything I had in the GoXLR and more

I originally regretted selling off my GoXLR but, that was back in early December and money was a far more pressing matter for me at the time. I always favored the Wave XLR over the GoXLR due to its control via Wave Link. I drooled over the release of the Stream Deck +, and was hoping to get it someday. After finally getting it, I can now no longer go back to the GoXLR even if I wanted to have it. The level of control the SD+ gives me now is just too good. I'm hoping the volunteer GoXLR team tries to implement a lot of what customers have been asking for, but now that official support is done I think it's going to be highly unlikely that I'll ever pick this up again.

I might be a little bit bias here, as I helped getting the opensource GoXLR Utility working on Windows (yes, the windows version is the port from the Linux one). I would say, use the stable firmware, it should be possible to flash back if your on the beta. I don't think the firmware will be opensource, and there is some encryption when flashing, making it hard to reverse engineer without support from tc-helicon. For the opensource GoXLR Utility, the device has never been more alive. Everything is controlled through an API, that means that everything you can do from the app. A plugin can also do. So now it's theoretical (until a plugin exists) possible to control the device from not only Stream Deck, but also OBS and similar. And you will also be able to use multiple plugins (not like the official one that was limited to just one). The opensource version also a lot better when it comes to accessibility, and can now be used by blind or visually impaired people. For the Windows version, it does require the official tc-helicon drivers (Linux and MacOS does not). And you cannot run it at the same time as you run the official GoXLR App (as the official one gets confuced and crashes). All in all... the device has been "dead" before, and only time will tell if this is the case for now. However... I understand the skepticism as there is basically just one developer on the opensource version at this point. I would suggest all that starts using the free opensource version to consider sponsor the developer (I do monthly), but that's not a requirement.

Still using mine, though I have a Mackie DLZ coming this week, which does not rely on Windows software to run it. It already has it all onboard.

Lewitt Connect 6 and Beacn Mix Create here, both of them have been pretty good for me so far.

I have been using my midi keyboard as a goxlr type of device. Theres a software called midi mixer that allows you to use it as such. have 8 volume dials in total and 8 physical pads but 16 in total cause theres a bank A and bank B i can switch to.

Well timed video, I was looking for something to get

I kept trying to figure out whatever else was running making that background sound that was popping and stuff.

Its time to compare budget av1 codecs? rx7600 x 4060 x a750?

Bought one few months ago. Sent it back immediately when i learned part of the team left to work on a different project. Took a Roadcaster 2 instead at the time.

So happy you're fixing the audio errors with the Mac, this video is riddled with pops and clicks...

Thank you for this. I was actually considering getting one of these things.

The PreSonus Revelator IO24 becomes totally useless after updating to the latest firmware. It has so many annoying problems, like the phantom power shutting down after a reboot. Even though they released an update recently, it's still a mess and has major issues, such as the last active preset getting reset every time you reboot it.

So, I should return the GoXLR that arrived from Amazon today...or, should I keep it, since legally it would need to work through the end of its 3 year warranty period and the company would be responsible for a solution if it failed during that period 🤔

I love using my stream deck plus with my SSL2+ audio interface. IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. My rodecaster 2 sits on the side if i ever need it. With having both im covered.

Saw senpaigaming also use the mackie DLZ creator mixer and it seems it might be a good replacement for GO XLR and seems to have less issues than the rhodecaster pro 2 atm except its around that $700 mark so a bit more pricier. However it has a larger screen and a lot more fine tune optimization imo

The Rodecaster is amazing, but it is overkill for most people. However, they have now released small versions which are more akin to the GoXLR in terms of price that may be worth visiting

The words you want to look for in audio interface is "class compliant" which means it is agnostic to operating systems and near universally supported without additional software.

I use the Roland Bridgecast and love it.

I've had mine since 2020! And I still love it to this day. Sucks to see the company go.

I don't know how people are using the Rodecaster as a GoXLR replacement without some major compromises. Only 3 USB audio devices (and you have to use up TWO ports on your PC). Whereas with GoXLR, you had 5 USB audio devices. The upgrade path just isn't there if you want to keep it similar to your GoXLR setup.

I've been using the io24 since you did your first Video on it. I've been more or less happy with it. I run an odd setup where I use a single SM7B going into 2 different comptuers with Art Pro Split into the io24 to my main rig, and a GoXLR Mini that I got for free into my work laptop (use the mic for VOIP/Teams).

I know a lot of these kinds of mixers/interfaces have features that streamers and creators love, but I've always found the interfaces offered by established companies with a track record and history of quality audio engineering hardware design and making to be much better performance wise such as quality preamps and much more reliable. I went with an Audient iD14 mk2 a year ago and have no regrets. It lacks some of the not really critical fluff style features of streamer style mixers, but it's got a damn good preamp and has been solid, plus cost less. I wish GoXLR users the best, but a healthy level of suspicion for new companies and products can help save future headaches

I swear the the Rodecaster Pro II but I would like a couple extra features including extra ins and outs on the 2ndary USB instead of just 1.

People should also take a look at the Yamaha AG08 too, as a GoXLR alternative.

Damn thats rough. But thanks for the update

Weeeeell, Shiiiieeeeet. 🙃 That explains literally all of my conversations with anyone (formerly) on the GO XLR team back when I was trying to find out how to do Submixing. I'm glad I've had it for over a year at least. Still... that's an expensive purchase that I hope lasts a few more years before the software craps out.

I love my Presonus IO24 coming from GoXLR: The IO24 has Monitor outputs so I can hear good music without headphones. Great inexpensive hardware sounds great and yeah less expensiv then a Wave XLR. I wait for Rode Streamer X and roadcaster duo MK2 versions.

The Audient EVO 4 is a tough little beast. Been using this hardworking, no-nonsense interface for two years and it's going strong.

Don't really understand why behringer does'nt weighs in with a "streaming-specialized" product. I use a Xr18 for years, works great just need a reduced and more user friendly version.

Voicemeeter Potato with a AKAI MidiMix Mixer. My only complaint is the driver is unable to be used on multiple programs at once, so if you wanna use some of it with obs and some with voicemeeter you have to setup a relay program. Which AKAI would update this.

Scarlet 2i2 since begore goxlr came out (for recording online courses), and just last month picked up streamdeck+, wave xlr for input and output control... Cause already I saw no point in the goxlr since it is too big (I have a zed 14 if I want sliders for input and midi mixer + nano krontrol 2 for output with sliders

What? how? I'm sorry for your loss.

Love my Beacn products, the Mix Create & their Mic. Had to ditch my previous XLR mic, I forget what model Shure, since that connection isn't supported by Beacn, but all the better IMO. A real shame what happened here. I wonder if it was simply a "business decision" that profits were not large enough, or there were no profits at all.

Damn...welp, I guess that's the kick in the pants I needed to move on to the Wave XLR. I stopped streaming and making content a few years ago but the GoXLR was great for my remote work and the content I create in the context of my job. However, ever since I upgraded to Win 11, the whole thing turned...clunky. The Stream Deck plugin always needs a few restarts of the GoXLR app to kick in. Even the app itself seems to have a delay between switching profiles and them registering on the device. I've been itching to switch to a more software based solution and the Wave is perfect. RIP I guess....

Can we get a update on this

i have an evo 8 on my main desktop and an evo 4 on my studio pc. great interfaces imo.

It was too expensive and when completing solutions appeared, the prices should have been lowered.

Still currently using my Wave XLR and motherboard's line-in (the latter for anything not-HDMI). This honestly sucks, as I wanted to get a GoXLR for testing a Linux streaming build.

I have the Rodecaster Pro II and it is close to exceptional. STEEP learning curve over the GoXLR but, doing live events for a big company with pro gear, it’s the closest you can really get at your desk. And certainly the closest you can get on a 100% portable rig.

As someone on a tight budget, I hope this means a significant drop in price. If so, I might pick one up and use the open source options.

I've been digging the Lewitt Connect 6

And today they announced their white model. Fire sale?

😢 my hopes for a dry wet nob for vocal effects has just died. I wish the goxlr would have continued support for many years. Sad to see a solid audio interface not be supported.

That's why I'm glad that I bought the Wave XLR instead. I trust Elgato's longevity way more. The lack of direct inputs sucks, but it's not super difficult to work around, and I have a second interface just in case. Works flawlessly with VST's and Stream Deck too.

Can anyone help me understand why this means the GoXLR is dead? Why would this piece of hardware need software support updates to stay fully functional and "alive?"

M-Audio M-Game Solo is another GoXLR-alike. Its software is buggy but going on sale for $75 regularly its a not bad entry level product for all the features and hardware controls it has. The Duo has more features but the dual-PC mode just seems to add more software issues.

I have been using the RodeCaster Pro 2 since it was released. It is awesome!!!

I have the rodecaster pro 2 and it is one of the most fun devices I've ever had, I use it pretty much every day, it's a shame that the ppl didn't really look up the capabilities of the device also before they bought, the Go XLR apparently requires the drivers/software to run which was a big no go for me, since the rodecaster pro 2 is UAC2 compliant, I could plug it in to a freaking IoT cat feeder and it would probably work.

Stupid question, does that mean my current GOXLR mini will eventually fail in the future, or it just mean no more quality of life updates?
