Elgato WaveLink can now add VSTs (audio effects) to ANY track. That's super cool. Here's how to do it.

The issue with the wave link software is that it only provides one output still. There is no way that I have found to separate them properly so you can have each one (Mic, Gameplay, Voice...) separate in SLOBS or OBS so you can designate different channels. When I record I want my mic and voice chat audio separate from everything else so I can edit the levels independently. If all I did was streaming cool this would work great. Until Elgato is able to do separate outputs for different channels I am only using the wave link software for my gameplay audio and music.

@@ViciousTech You can do exactly that, the WaveLink "inputs" are actually outputs as far as windows and OBS are concerned. Also WaveLink now has a separate MixFX input which is the mic in but with VSTs applied. Harris seemed to miss that though? Or it isn't available on the XLR yet.

You just use the "Wave Link Stream" as your Aux audio input in OBS and then everything is controlled from Wave Link. You don't have to worry about the Game/Browser/SFC etc at all from the OBS side of things. I like having my Mic a separate slider in OBS though for visibilty so I have wave link muting my microphone on the stream output (still use it for effects) then use my audio mic input as the MicrophoneFX and Wave Link Stream as a first Auxillary input.

This update made me switch back over to using the Wave products. I'm now using a Wave XLR and have completely swapped out my GoXLR entirely. The GoXLR is fantastic but I wasn't too keen on all of my audio being routed through it, and disliked not having a convenient way to switch my output without manually changing an app to run between my headphones or my speakers. Wave Link provides just that for me. Now with native VST support, there's no longer any reason for me to switch away from the Wave XLR. It's powerful enough to drive my Shure SM7B and I have my Sennheiser HD660S plugged into its headphones jack.

Great tips. I've been using these rea plugins now and they're really good. I was wondering how your SM7B sounds so good by default? Without any plugins active yours sounds cleaner than mine with reagate, reacomp and reaEQ combined. I'm using the SM7b and the Wave XLR combo too. So I can't work out what else would make a difference. Also, if anyone reads this and is having problems getting the reaper plugins to be detected by the wave Link software. Drop everything in the default VST plugins location as you can't change that in Wave. But then also set the VST2 plugin folder to be the same as the default VST plugin location. That worked for me. I'm guessing Wave detects the reaper plugins as VST2 or something as it was able to find everything else I've downloaded without issue.

This comment is clutch! I actually looked it up and its pretty easy to change. I personally like the way my Mic sounds out of the box but I mostly wanted to use a noise gate VST to get rid to mouse or controller clicks for my teammates in voice chat. This will help me a ton! One side note though is Elgato does suggest turning other voice altering effects that programs like Teams or discord have embedded in their options BEFORE adding the FX you employ from your wavelink. Makes sense, as jumbling these effects could lead to less than desirable audio.

@blakestrother5122 2 жыл бұрын
Man if you figure this out that would be amazing. However, I don't know how you would noise gate external monitoring of music. Noise gates can help with low level sounds like mouse clicks and keyboard taps because presumably that volume is totally different then your voice. I suppose the same could be true for externally monitored music but you certainly couldn't have that music too loud. Nvidia Broadcast's noise removal tools seem a lot more sophistated then a traditional noise gate. Would love to no more about what you figure out I DJ too.
