You can power it via micro usb in the normal way at the rear -mains, powerbank etc, and then feed the audio to the phone via the 3.5mm trs on the side (using an adapter for lightning devices). This then eliminates the battery-draw issue on the phone, this is the main issue with the old version, the external power and audio output are both the same socket on the rear. This one gives you the additional output on the side.
Thanks Daz
I love the transparency and rawness of your video.
Would the Roland Go:Mixer Pro X be compatible with my BOSS RC-505 MK2?
Sorry no idea!
The addition of the tripod screwplate sounds like a perfect 3D printer project.
Sounds fun!
Love the blurry camera. Really great stuff.
Sorry for any technical issues with our video
So nice! Does anyone know if you can put how many video cameras on this board? Can you connect another camera in addition to your cell phone using OBS?
If you want more than Iphone's camera then you need PC or Mac
I would’ve liked to have seen how you’re using the one you have in studio without the tripod Phil.. Thanks 🙏
It’s just under the table, being used audio only.
Anyone ever got one of these to work with an android? Google Pixel 8.
Thanks for this video man, do you know if this works with newer Gen phones like iPhone 13/14 Pixel 7 or 8? Just bought one, hoping it does or I'll have to return it. Cheers
Don't see why not
it captures external sound. Is there a way to avoid this? When I live on Tiktok, the noise from my house comes through. I think it picks up from the iPhone's microphone.
what is the name of the outputs of this orange cable?
I can use the booth output as well to hear what I’m mixing instead of connecting to the headphone input in the Roland?
This is so helpful! Thank you - do you happen to have a link for the orange cables/ and adapter your using in this video
Chroma Cables from DJ Tech Tools :)
@@digitaldjtips Thanks so much!!
What leads to I need to connect from the master out put to the Roland go, or what size are them orange leads you are using
Anyone know what the orange cable is called?
Great video. When live streaming a dj set, how do you deal with the volume of what’s being streamed? Do you go by the dj meters on your decks/controller?
If you're using livestreaming software such as OBS, go by the meters in that
If i want to use audio coming from pc (let's say backing tracks from TH-cam) and record my bass on my smartphone, where to I plug in the pc?
How would I be able to connect this to my actual Dj mixer? Not the controller.
My thing is the monitor out. What would I put there
not sure what you're asking, connection would be the same either way
Hi what’s the orange cables called as I have a cable that plugs into the the right and left master input on the side of my d ddj 400 console but the end of my cable is an aux type end not got the double input if that makes sense.
How does it compare to the iRig stream?
We’ve reviewed both. This does more than the Stream.
Nice video phil .. very helpful 👌 I'm looking to buy something like this in the near future.. I wonder if the sell them in Canada 🇨🇦 .. thanks Phil.. your always a great help .. God bless you 🙏
You're welcome Philip
Check out the Roland website for retailers in your region :)
hi can I use this for zoom metting?,,,,,,,,Is this work with zoom apps
When you use iPad garage band it records multitrack music at the same time , like bass and guitar each on its own track , or it merge all inputs to one single recording track ?
We haven't used this for iPad/GarageBand/guitar purposes, just DJing and livestreaming, so can't say for sure :)
Whats a good app for android recording with a mixer? I had one but deleted by mistake
Hmm how we hear audio to monitor?
Hello lovely channel: Here is my Gear...
An acoustic Martin D18 guitar with a K&K mini pickup installed. A SHURE beta 87a phantom powered mic. A STOMP BOX made by ORTEGA and a Fishman Loudbox Artist amplifier.
Here is the question; I know the GO gives a dry signal, would it be a better idea to use DIRECT LINE IN LINE OUT and connect the amp to the GO? Would I then need to monitor with my headset in my amp or monitor with my headset plugged into the GO? Would the settings on my AMP have effect on the sound,...I mean is for example chorus and echo noted while monitoring? And the other question: Will my iPhone use the build in mic also when plugged in the GO?
Another nice video Phil, question for you please? What type of orange cables are those? Make and model and where to buy please 🙏
They're Chroma Cables, from DJTechtools.
Thanks
Insane technology
Pretty cool eh? :)
You can get tripod adapters that hold your phone which are adjustable for size, I wonder if that could hold it?
Potentially
What brand lavalier are you using for your videos / tutorials. It sounds really clean
Rode
What kind of cable goes in the mixer from dj controller?
Interested too!
"They're Chroma Cables, from DJTechtools." (response below)
@@Zog76 it depends on what kind of outputs you have on your mixer. The inputs on the GO mixer are dual 1/4"
If you have RCA outs on your controller, you need dual male RCA to 1/4". If you have 1/4" outs, you need dual male 1/4" to 1/4"
I use my Yamaha MG 10 XU and it works great :)
Nice!
how you do that for livestream?
@@ericbarata the Yamaha MG 10 XU has a USB interface in the back. You plug that into your laptop download the driver and then on your streaming software under audio settings selects the Yamaha Driver. It will pick up the audio from the mixer. I now use an even smaller Mackie Pro FX 6 V3 for streaming which works the same as the Yamaha. All USB mixers work for streaming. The USB IS an audio interface. In the back of your mixer check if it has a USB B type slot. If it does, it probably has an audio interface. The Yamaha MG 10 XU has it and the Mackie Pro FX 6 V3 that I personally own, have it.
Thanks, Phil. Do you also use these on your livestream sets? (Balcony beats, In my House etc...)
No we don't James
@@digitaldjtips드
Is this the best device phill.or do you have a better recommendation as of 2nd April 2022?
There is no such thing as best, it depends on what you need. This works well. SI di the iRigs (Solo, Stream, Pro), So does EverMixbox.
@@digitaldjtips ok thanks phill.I only asked if best because the post was old and there may of been newer recommendations today.but thanks I like the look of this and the evermix4
looks good but i think i would go for a soundcraft mixer
Sounds like this isn't really for you
Hi, i have DDM 400 Behringer mixer and i don't know how to record my set through, I would be very happy if you told me how I can recording from that mixer
All you need to do is get an audio interface like this to hook it up to a computer or just a portable recorder hooked up to one of your outputs
Does the phone have to be in the stand can’t you jst attach ur phone to a tripod
Of course, the stand is just there for your convenience.
@@digitaldjtips Jst checking im a bit dopey one question if you have a Beatport subscription do you have any issues using that whilst streaming also will be using a iPhone can you jst record ur mixes via this and not stream ?
Could this be used as pa mixer for a wedding ceremony? Just thought it would be cool to have in case i ever needed a mini setup in another location for the ceremony.
Not really, it is basically an audio interface rather than a straight mixer.
Oh ok. Well I'm glad i asked before i decided to buy one.
super useful review. thank you. i plan on using this for filming my mixes and or making reels in portrait. to date ive been using a tripod and then matching the audio onto the video in imovie. needlessly long workflow. has anyone got any suggestions/experience with regards this device and a tripod at the same time? i know this device is right for me, just unsure how im going to set it up with the tripod as well. any replies appreciated. thank you.
It has a tripod mount, so it is easy to attach it to one.
@@digitaldjtips awesome, thanks so much. looking forward to using it. thanks again.
do you need batteries if you use a dynamic like the sm58?
No
how could I hookup dual phones to an audio mixer for two live conversations at the same time?
There are several ways, would need to know a bit more to advise you better.
Is there reverb for vocal?
No
Can I use this audio interface to play with other people connected from somewhere else ? Maybe there are apps that along with this unit can allow for that. Please let me know.
No, this is an audio interface, it is not a network device of any kind. There are not really any easy ways of DJing across the internet with someone else.
@@digitaldjtips ok thanks
I have the original go mixer pro my issue going live is tik tok. The audio bit rate goes from bad to decen to really bad. The video is excellent. I have tried reconnecting in all dufferent ways. Would thw smartphone trs connection on the pro x eliminate that issue? Again this is only tik tok live. If not somebody help me lol. Sos sos
Sorry, we have not encountered this issue. Hopefully someone else can see this and help. Although it sounds like the issue is with TikTok.
I need i device like this for my live streams... i think that behringer xenix 302usb does the same for a fraction of the price. My only doubt is if the phone can deliver enough power to the mixer ( Is a USB powered mixer)
Haven't tried that one I'm afraid
Behringer UCA 202 works the business. Around 20 quid/bucks
I use a 4 in 1 out phono mini mixer. With the numark scratch having booth out on phono and master out on xlr. I use the xlr to phono to mini mixer in and then phono out with phono to female jack with a android rode adapter plugged into phone they all separate volumes to. Then use the booth output for speakers so can have the volume just right without having people in house shouting to turn it down lol. I can check the live stream volume on another phone while live streaming to adjust. Even tho the lil stereo mixer is four in one out and can be used other way round one in four out. So if you have controller that just has one output for speakers it comes in hand if you have used the sb3 before now plus the lil mixer dosent require power. Think peri jon jonni got me onto it.
Nice one Charles, sounds like you've found a method that works for you :)
Plus it only cost £50 the roland thing £132.99 bit pricey phil
Perhaps, it's similarly priced to other audio interfaces in this part of the market
Hello, will it use the audio from my pioneer xz when hooked up, to go live on tiktok with my mobile phone?, as in not having to use the phones mic. Thanks. @Digital DJ Tips
Yes, that is what it is designed to do.
@@digitaldjtips awesome, thanks for the fast reply, I must also say I bought my xz after watching your video tutorials about it, much thanks, keep up the great work :)
This sounds like a great tool. One question/comment. I have a Samsung galaxy s21 ultra, and even when using the trss cable, when my tracks go from full song to an acappella part, the volume spikes until the beat comes back. Would that try to fix this issue, or is this a problem with the phone itself? I of course don't hear this drop live, only during playback of the mix. So not sure if my audience hears it live. Any suggestions?
No idea on that one Dario, sounds like a very strange error
Amazon has some tripod phone clips that have the screw port on it. They're really cheap, around $10 (2 pc), if you were needing a way to mount it to a tripod.
Worth an experiment to find one that would fit - good idea!
Thanks Carlos
@@digitaldjtips the one I was looking at says it can expand up to 4". I'm not too sure how wide the Mixer is but I'm pretty sure there's one out there that will work
Can i record if i stream music from Beatport Link with my dj table ?
Yes
Simply use this to record your output even though recording will be greyed out in the software
The gain peak is too sensitive, only way to stay under it is have your instrument really low. At least for my synthesizer
Thanks for sharing Ernest
Can you live perform on WhatsApp? I tried and it didn’t work.
Not easily, no.
My focus its to XDJ XZ...ahahaha its quite expensive for me..
Yeah it's not cheap! :)
Bravo olé olé olé
its well overpriced for what it can do, but I agree, a smartphone capable soundcard thats mountable would be a big seller, hell id buy 2 or 3
Indeed!
Definitely feels like a gap in the market
Why do you think it is overpriced? It’s cheaper then a scarlet 2i2 and has more inputs. I don’t know if it has phantom power though. So that could be a drawback. But I just use mine to get l&r into my phone from my bigger desk :)
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 much tech
This is a pretty simple setup, you soon get used to it all :)
🙏
Thanks for watching!
is this whole video out of focus or just me? lol
The front camera is super blurry
Yeah sorry about that!
Yup, had some camera issues on this one - sorry!
4K but out of focus. Good info though.
Lol, thanks :)
Not bad but you should have shown it connected to your mac computer 🤓
Thanks for watching :)
Seam the focus of the camera is very of and make it hard to see what you are showing;(
Yeah we had a couple of camera issues, sorry about that!
Another cruel fact is we have no place to stream..
Mixcloud.
I hate this mixer for some reason I can’t put my finger on
So messy review with no plan ahead...
Sorry this wan't for you, Ramiro.
