Another thing that could be done for streamers with a dual-pc setup is to actually buy two of the GoXLR (original or mini or mixed). Have the line-ins and line-outs feed into each other, and use either one respectively into each PC. This way you just have ultimate control of all sound within both PCs. For Example: Gaming PC - Game Audio // Line In (streaming pc) // Voice Chat // Mic Volume Streaming PC - Desktop Audio // Music // Alerts // Mic Volume (for secondary mic) The mini could actually be an upgrade path for those who already own the original GoXLR, and want even more control without making things too difficult. I think that's the beauty behind these products.
I’m not a streamer, at least not now, but I still really want this product! I think it’d be helpful for quick audio adjustments and the amp would be nice if I decide to pick up a good microphone.
at the price id rather pick up a 4 channel XLR mixer from Yamaha and use that with a streamdeck/ Mini to control any Virtual voice synth modules id be sacrificing features and space but saving a lot on the old wallet for more inputs for the afformentioned podcast or Multi Mic setups
Faaaantastic video. Exactly what I needed. Liked. QUick question. Did you try this with the SM7b WITH Cloudlifter and then into the GoXLR/GoXLR Mini? Do you get a better, same, or degraded sound with the Cloudlifter? Thanks.
I think the mini is what im looking for but im still early in the research. Im looking for a vocal equalizer compressor for hi lows. Ki.da like for podcast but for music too. Not caring too much for robotic fx or echo reverbs.
Elgato needs to make a competitor here, neither of the GoXLR's or the Rodecasters offer what Elgato can bring to the table, which is exactly what the other companies offer but with: customization The ability to have a small touchscreen displaying whatever you want above dials or faders is what we need. Elgato will bring one to the table and it will be the best, only a matter of time
Thank you! Both are on Black Friday sale right now and I'm trying to decide which one to buy as well as upgrading to the Shure XLR which is also on sale and upgrading from my Blue Yeti. Cheers!
I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and its arriving saturday, I use a blue spark sl and I cant wait to test it out, also bought my first DSLR camera too so should be a decent upgrade 🙂
I'd love to see an actual 8 channel GoXLR with 100% customizable channels and motorized faders and two Microphone Inputs. Also i'd like to have the feature of fading the channels i'm muting instead of muting them instantly. It should be no problem, with motorized faders in the first place. I'm perfectly aware, that this would be hellish expensive, but this would be everything, ANY streamer could ever dream of.
Hi, Please forgive me if this is a dumb question: If I streamed from a SNES Mini would a 3.5mm headphone set work via through this? At present I am unable to use headphones as I don’t have a mixer (when streaming from my Switch and any mini retro console). Thank you
So one thing that I’m unclear on is, if everything is done on the hardware, why is the software required? Id like more transparency on that, as it seems clear from past experiences, the software can leave you without a microphone.
I know this is an old video, but just wanted to say it was very informative. I have ordered the goxlr mini and was wondering if I was losing out by not buying the bigger version as it seems I am losing the gimmick features such as voice effects, sample pads and motorised faders, I am very happy with my choice. I dont need any of those I just was a simple audio solution for my mic and stream. Thanks for the video!
I am seriously thinking about getting the Mini at $250. $400 is kind of a step price for a channel my size on top of buying a XLR mic. With the mini I can get both the Mini and an AT2020 for same price as the original GO XLR. Great video and explanation of both products.
You've expanded what you do to include a podcast now. So what would you recommend to someone who has a podcast, streams, and is looking to add TH-cam as well?
To be a bit fair, unless you have a terrible room or mic, you barely need even 3 bands of EQ. I mean, even with the basic bitch ''broadcast'' sound (80hz low cut, 80 hz boost, 250 hz cut, 8khz boost, 16khz high cut) you have plenty of bands left. I am surprised that they even bothered having it different on the smaller one. The de-esser is a bit of a shame tho. Seems like no reason not to have it since the DSP chip is the same.
@@bigostream5979 Sounds really great, the Mic that I use with it is Shure SM7B. The mute buttons are just so easy to use while you gaming or streaming so you don't have to tab out to do so. Not an ideal interface for musical production I assume cos it's lack of related setting or effects.
@@voomie7868 I just was wondering if you can have a separate mix for your headphones and stream so that you could have music going on stream but not your headset
I bought the mini. Then noticed how cable management is a nightmare with the mic and headphone inputs are in the front. So I upgraded to the GOXLR and I can't be happier, based solely off cable management
I wish I would have known this prior to getting a Cloudlifter and an Icicle USB-XLR adapter. I use the Shure SM7B. Still gonna get this thing to reduce the clutter because it cuts both of those things out. Also it allows me to add voice effects without having to fiddle around on Adobe to get what I want. Adepto Bonum.
Great video Pete! Had to go for a rewatch, I don't think the GO XLR is the tool for me for my stream. I think it would be good if at least the full size GO XLR had speaker/studio monitor outputs, weather it be RCA or 1/4 inch Jack.
02:27 - Yeah, preamp is great for SM7B if you intend to keep the music playing while you speak, to mask out all the hiss from maxed preamp. I'm sure it'll be fun for everyone in your corporate Zoom calls. Otherwise, you can straight out go and buy fethead or cloudlifter.
You honestly can't go wrong with that mic, man! That is what I used before I upgraded to the SM7B and a board. You can always use a free equalizer software when using a USB mic to make your voice sound even better! Just Google search "Equalizer APO Download" and "PEACE Download". :)
I was originally pumped about a go XLR mini, but when they cut it and half - they kept the wrong half. I was really hoping for an FX focused device, hoping to just have a unit with the FX control, presets, and a true dry pass through. Guess i'll just have to wait :( I JUST WANT A VOICE FX DEVICE WITH A CRAP TON OF PRESET BUTTONS!
6:18 So, just a note. I have the mini, and it does not, in fact, shut off when i turn off my Pc. It still somehow gets power though the BUS and keeps the lights powered on. Ive tried several usb ports (just to make sure it wasnt in one that was always powered) and it didnt make a difference *when plugging directly into the motherboard*.
@@zaynonfire I dont really want to disable that feature. I like that it charges wireless things like my mouse when its off. I just thought the goxlr would be smart enough to know it didnt need power when the PC was off. My wired keyboard doesnt keep its lights on when the PC off so i know its possible to do.
Neels Saayman I’ve been trying to find the answer to this exact question for a week now, scrolling through TH-cam videos to no end... haha Hopefully he answers this question 🤞🤞🤞
Max Power I bought the goxlr Mini and using DT 990 80 ohms with the goxlr and is a dream come true no pre amp or cload lifter needed🔥🔥🔥 have any questions I’ll help where i can🔥
There is a lot of talk about the pre-amp in all the reviews. How is the amp in it though? The audio quality out etc. These are the questions I'd like answered.
The original price was $200, but with import tariffs in the U.S. it was priced at $250. The preamp and DSP are the most expensive parts on GoXLR. I we only sold the preamp as an audio interface it would be $100 at our lowest margin.
The GoXLR mini doesn't offer the De-Esser option like the original GoXLR. If you know of a way we can enable it on the software or a workaround that would really help.
GuNStArHeRo there is a company in the UK selling the full size GOXLR for £235 it also comes with free international shipping. I got mine from them after returning a MG10XU as it just wasn't for me. If you want a link let me know.
Peaks unfortunately the shop went into liquidation because of covid-19 so only have the current stock they don't have any GOXLR left. If you have a vpn the amazon UK price is the same as the company I got it from. If no vpn just do. . Co. UK
In your video, you had both versions of go xlr turned on at the same time, does her software reconnect both of them on? Do the channels and routing of go xlr Mini appear in the mixer?
I don’t blame you for not care much about the motorized faders. After all, the GOXLR didn’t exactly make good use of them. They were more or less just a gimmick to let you see, when you mute a channel. If they made actually programmable sequences available, like fading certain channels over 2 seconds on time while raising others and combine it with saved ending states for each mode activated, would have been a major deal. Like this, the motorized faders are indeed just a gimmick. Also, I miss Dual XLR or TLS connectors for the line in and out or even better the possibility of combining both devices on a driver level to use them as one giant device. I think this device sadly is but a giant set of gimmicks, Not really fleshed out professional streaming gear.
You forgot to mention the GOXLR uses DSP but without the on-board ability to control the functions of Analog Processing. If the software fails or crashes, there's no way to control your effect parameters outside of what is set prior to the crash/volume sliders. The bottom sampler is all digital as well meaning you can't use that area without the software. You also are downscaling audio quality by using a line 3.5mm output. For $400, this product is not even close to being worth that much money. I assume they are over pricing this since no one else is really selling streamer specific audio gear or "software" I should say. Due to it's heavy use of software compatibility, you could basically do all of this with voicemeter which is free.
@James Turk I see you get easily offended by words. I do have an audio degree and I don't expect everyone to want to understand the faults of something that their favorite streamer uses. An easy google search will show that the numbers you presented in your reply are all inaccurate and I'd like for you to educate me on how a line out jack 3.5mm cable has better audio quality than front load DCA? Providing false information will get you no where in life, young man.
Out of all the comments, how is this one of the few that are actually criticizing this thing? As of March 2020, it’s gone up to $500. The software is a huge limitation. The effects do not sound like they are done through hardware. Everyone claiming it’s all done through hardware. Yet the whole thing relies on the software? I think a healthy dose of suspicion and criticism is important.
Just know everyone that if you get the mini, and you still want a voice changer, it might be worth checking out the app Voice Mod. An excellent and free app that can do just this.
I got a question, so my mic is a USB mic, or the only input to my computer from it is through a USB port. Is there anyway I can use this product without buying another cable?
Ditch the motorized sliders as that is just something that will eventually go out and ditch the effects but the loss of the icons for the four sliders is bummer.
The one thing that's missing on BOTH of them for me, is proper TRS outs for speakers. This is the one thing that's preventing me from getting a GoXLR, because I wanted it to be the only audio thing on my desk, and just for this reason, I'd have to keep my Big Knob and go from the GoXLR to it via one stereo TRS cable which is not too bad, and it's also kinda nice having the big knob controlling the speakers and with its own mute button, but... I'd like to be able to do this from one thing. Like for example, the GoXLR could have a 'page' function, if it's a digital mixer, then there's nothing to say it can't have unlimited channels with those 4 faders, yeah? :-)
so my setup right now is a tonor q9 usb mic honestly for me it just seems terrible in discord and i've played with settings alot to try and make it better. It essentially is always too quiet or cuts me off mid sentence. I'm looking to upgrade to XLR for better audio control; what I'm thinking of getting is the Rode Podmic and XLR mini, I'm not a streamer by any means but i do stream my game and chat in a discord channel with some buddies. Would this be a worth it upgrade?
Would it be a better option to use a cable like this: Cable Matters (1/8 Inch) 3.5mm to XLR Cable (XLR to 3.5mm Cable) Male to Male 10 Feet to use with my existing blue yeti mic to a goxlr mini or should I just use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable?
Excellent video 👌🏻 Late to party so doubt this will be answered, does a headphone with two 3.5 mm cables (mic and headphones) able to take advantage of the amp in the xlr mini? Or only headphones with one 3.5mm?
can you change bass etc on the go xlr mini like you can with the astro mix amp (astro command centre) i’m looking to get astro id custom headset but can’t decide between the go xlr mini or the astro mix amp?
DO you recommend this - you can not only use USB microphones like this (Blue Yeti) but then you have the option to additionally over time get an XLR microphone and plug it in this bad boy. The GoXLR Mini is $429AUD here. I just bought an Elgato Keylight for my Logitech C920 - in the future hopefully a Sony a5100 Mirrorless however it's $500+. Also need a new second monitor (mainly looking for a portrait panel but don't mind) and my chair is scuffed. Could also replace my current fans and upgrade from 1st gen ryzen and upgrade storage. Temptations..
Voice Meeter literately has MIDI functionality built in. so if you already use Audio Meeter and have a USB interface you can buy a cheap $50 Akai midimix and map the fadders and buttons to whatever you want.
@James Turk Well I have the shure sm7b but I also have a SE Electronic se2200a ii c which requires 48v. I just like to have a interface that could run them both properly....not at the same time but if I get fed up with sm7b then I can switch over
can somebody explain the purpose of the mini? i dont see why i should spend a premium on this over an audio interface or any other usb mixing board. i'm not trying to sound cheap or rude, i just dont understand. i have a background in audio recording so routing those sources isn't a problem for me
I wonder. I have a Shure SM7B. But I already have a gen 1 Scalrlett 2i2 and a Cloud Lifter. I have VST PLugins for OBS, but do you think I should buy this and just sell the other two parts used?
I have a question can the goxlr mini powers a headphones with 150ohm and get louder ? And what is the max ohms the mini can power ? I hope you can help me
I am doing a livestream video podcast with six people, and use a Zoom L8 for my mixer. I am looking for a sound effects processor for one mic, but curious about how the XLR mic would output from the GoXLR and into the Zoom L8 XLR input. Since the GoXLR doesn’t have an XLR output, will it connect to the Zoom L8 mixer?
Another thing that could be done for streamers with a dual-pc setup is to actually buy two of the GoXLR (original or mini or mixed). Have the line-ins and line-outs feed into each other, and use either one respectively into each PC. This way you just have ultimate control of all sound within both PCs.

I'm just getting into code streaming, I bought the mini yesterday and find out today that it won't work on my Mac. I'm ever so slightly disappointed.
was it a issue with the operating system on the mac?
@@khalybebe not a supported os
Ditch the motorized sliders as that is just something that will eventually go out and ditch the effects but the loss of the icons for the four sliders is bummer.
Could you please do a best mixer amps video from lowest to highest price
The one thing that's missing on BOTH of them for me, is proper TRS outs for speakers. This is the one thing that's preventing me from getting a GoXLR, because I wanted it to be the only audio thing on my desk, and just for this reason, I'd have to keep my Big Knob and go from the GoXLR to it via one stereo TRS cable which is not too bad, and it's also kinda nice having the big knob controlling the speakers and with its own mute button, but... I'd like to be able to do this from one thing. Like for example, the GoXLR could have a 'page' function, if it's a digital mixer, then there's nothing to say it can't have unlimited channels with those 4 faders, yeah?

Does the Go xlr Mini Support 48V Phantom Power for the Rode NT1-A
Does the mini have voice changers like can u go into ur computer and enable it
With a second XLR input, I'd seriously consider buying either the Mini or the original GoXLR.
I totally agree, I don't need 4, but 2 would be so huge for these devices.
One question, is the GoXLR mini good or ok for non streamers, I have a SM7b and idk if a goxlr mini is overkill just to discord and games
hey i really want a audio mixer whit voice changer and god i use the røde podmic i have about 70-100 can you recomend any?
so my setup right now is a tonor q9 usb mic honestly for me it just seems terrible in discord and i've played with settings alot to try and make it better. It essentially is always too quiet or cuts me off mid sentence. I'm looking to upgrade to XLR for better audio control; what I'm thinking of getting is the Rode Podmic and XLR mini, I'm not a streamer by any means but i do stream my game and chat in a discord channel with some buddies. Would this be a worth it upgrade?
Would it be a better option to use a cable like this: Cable Matters (1/8 Inch) 3.5mm to XLR Cable (XLR to 3.5mm Cable) Male to Male 10 Feet to use with my existing blue yeti mic to a goxlr mini or should I just use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable?
3.5 to 3.5
Excellent video 👌🏻
Late to party so doubt this will be answered, does a headphone with two 3.5 mm cables (mic and headphones) able to take advantage of the amp in the xlr mini? Or only headphones with one 3.5mm?
can you change bass etc on the go xlr mini like you can with the astro mix amp (astro command centre) i’m looking to get astro id custom headset but can’t decide between the go xlr mini or the astro mix amp?
Great video definitely tempted by the mini
is the application necessary because I will use a macbook?
There is a lot of noise when connecting two PC. How to handle this?
DO you recommend this - you can not only use USB microphones like this (Blue Yeti) but then you have the option to additionally over time get an XLR microphone and plug it in this bad boy. The GoXLR Mini is $429AUD here. I just bought an Elgato Keylight for my Logitech C920 - in the future hopefully a Sony a5100 Mirrorless however it's $500+. Also need a new second monitor (mainly looking for a portrait panel but don't mind) and my chair is scuffed. Could also replace my current fans and upgrade from 1st gen ryzen and upgrade storage. Temptations..
is it possible to do interent radio streaming using the winamp or some other web rado aplications thanks
Voice Meeter literately has MIDI functionality built in. so if you already use Audio Meeter and have a USB interface you can buy a cheap $50 Akai midimix and map the fadders and buttons to whatever you want.
Voicemeter is shit though. Always plays up
@@lordPix3lUK indded it does. i have my eye on the new stream deck. a good audio interface with the new stream deck is all i need.
I really wanted to get the GoXLR Mini but it doesn't have 48v of phantom power....that's a pretty huge feature to miss out on
@James Turk Well I have the shure sm7b but I also have a SE Electronic se2200a ii c which requires 48v. I just like to have a interface that could run them both properly....not at the same time but if I get fed up with sm7b then I can switch over
@James Turk you mean the se2200a ii c work great? Because most videos I watch always cover how great it works with sm7b
@@CrespoFTW Can confirm. We tested this exact mic in office on the GoXLR Mini and it works great.
can somebody explain the purpose of the mini? i dont see why i should spend a premium on this over an audio interface or any other usb mixing board. i'm not trying to sound cheap or rude, i just dont understand. i have a background in audio recording so routing those sources isn't a problem for me
Thanks Great vid
does the goxlr mini have a different amp for headphones and mic?
how much ram and processing does it use?
wait so i cant use if i have a usb headset and a usb mic?
Can you use the goxlr and the stream deck with one pc
I wonder. I have a Shure SM7B. But I already have a gen 1 Scalrlett 2i2 and a Cloud Lifter. I have VST PLugins for OBS, but do you think I should buy this and just sell the other two parts used?
I would still use the cloudlifter even though you don't need it necessarily. Extra gain doesn't hurt, as you can just turn the gain down.
I have a question can the goxlr mini powers a headphones with 150ohm and get louder ? And what is the max ohms the mini can power ? I hope you can help me
thank you
Have you ever looked at the Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK?
I am doing a livestream video podcast with six people, and use a Zoom L8 for my mixer. I am looking for a sound effects processor for one mic, but curious about how the XLR mic would output from the GoXLR and into the Zoom L8 XLR input. Since the GoXLR doesn’t have an XLR output, will it connect to the Zoom L8 mixer?
Как я знаю, данная карта имеет выход, который можно подключить к вашему zoom, знаю не актуально...
can u have autotune and Eco on the goxlr mini and can I use it even if my mic and headphones is conect to my pc?
wish it only had the sampler and voice changer, all the sound stuff can just be changed on the pc itself
