@@crossbowhunter9118 the go xlr has rgb too. The razor mixer is just over priced. Like in the uk the razor mixer costs 249 and the GOXLR costs like 133 and you get so much more with it. Better software, better quality and just better everything.
@@sxxith absolutely not better software, the goxlr has LOTS of issues no one talks about, I am a previous owner and honestly I'm looking forward to trying this
$250 is a big no for me. It's a cool device, but in the streaming mixer market I just think the Wave XLR is the best route to go. You don't get the faders(which I got to a point where I rarely touched them on my GoXLR), but you save $100 and get an insanely robust software
Im actually trying to decide between either Wave XLR, GoXLR mini, or this --- YOu'd say Wave Link is the best software of all? (I would be using a USB mic for starters)
I really like it. It's awesome that it brings the 2 ground loop things. The noise problem tends to happen when you have everything connected on the same outlet and especially when you connect console audio to PC in that case. (I had to connect through controller output and then keep it wireless.) It's expensive, though. Thanks for reviewing it. I was hoping you'd do it when I saw it announced the other day.
It is basically a DI box for mini jack, which is nice. Professional audio equipment such as audio interfaces don't provide these and tend to transfer unwanted noise in most cases
It looks cool, but they need to drop that price. The GoXLR Mini is the same (or cheaper) price then Razer's option so hopefully they put it on sale soon.
Nice that there is an alternative to the Mini, even though they could've obviously done a LITTLE more than basically just copying it feature for feature. Software can be nice, but also annoying.
It looks cool, and i would see this in my set up, but it's kinda sad that it doesn't have macOS support, my setup have a Mac in it and i would want that mixer when i want to record audio on my Mac sometimes
Huge missed opportunity. They could've easily added some additional features to make it a compelling alternative over the goxlr mini. Instead they just cloned it, likely with lower quality internal hardware, and jacked up the price..
If TC Helicon or competitors made one of these with proper speaker outputs too, I'd buy one. But apparently it's too hard to add 2 1/4" jacks to all of these devices. Frustrating.
@@ishaanshah7461 It's not. And even if it were, when it's absolutely required for hardware that's on store shelves, and there's no stable version, the only way it's a "beta" is a shitty attempt to deflect anger about how buggy it is. Retail customers are not agreeing to be beta testers out of the box. Just because you're selling the hardware and not the software directly doesn't give you a free pass to release buggy products.
its overpriced, unless youre actually going to be indepthly tuning your voice as if youre a professional singer, its pointless as a streamer let alone a game streamer, youre better off with a k1 or a v8 model sound card. 20 to 30 bucks , is rechargable, does not require a pc, and comes with a mic, this audio mixer doesnt even come with a mic and is 10 times higher than a k1 or a v8, and the k1/v8 also comes with many buttons for on board sound effects.
Biggest leg up this will have is a dedicated support staff hired by Razer over TCHelicon and their process of delegating GoXLR troubleshooting to volunteers that populate their Discord
never had a problem with TC's support on their discord. took them like 5min to reply with a full fix for my issues. If anything razer is gonna use a ticket system thatll take them a week to get back to you.
As A non-streamer who wanted to use XLR and replace a DAC this is a good tool. It was easy to setup has enough customization and doesn't need any third party software. I originally have use the GSX1000 for headphones before. I gave the Elgato Wave a chance because it was $150 but, sound quality with just the stock system was not what I wanted. The software was not good for me. So I gave this a try and I can safely say that it does everything I need. As a streaming tool I believe its good enough not perfect. For a average user and maybe a Vocal recorder and Podcaster it should get the job done. This is for someone that does not want to spend hours getting a tool like this set up. The price sucks, but the it should drop soon.
Razor did well with most of it...except for the the price. They should of priced it around $200 or less like Frank said. Though me personally i think the GoXlr is little bit better. But i am bias since i have a goxlr mini so yeah.
How is it functional with wireless headsets and USB mics? Wireless headset is what I use to hear my guests and use a USB mic to speak to my guests during a podcast. Seems like mixers in general require everything to be plugged into directly into the mixer device. Thank you.
I have this and I installed the firmware, updated it, and I've done everything to set it up besides having an XLR microphone. I choose "Razer audio mixer" in the pc settings for system and mic, and I have no sound. Do you have any advice?
Razer Audio Mixer gain range is from -12 dB to +39.7 dB. However Shure SM7b needs a pre amp with gain of 60 dB. So how does this mixer power the mic efficiently when it doesn't meet the requirements?
Is the software required for the basic features of the device, splitting the channels like VoiceMeeter? Or does the mixer have on-board memory for those things?
I know it was mostly a joke, but I rather prefer those rubber keys for something audio related. I don't need a clunky mechanical switch on my audio gear that'll make unnecessary noise when the rubber style buttons work fine (as long as there is a somewhat tactile bump to them).
How good is the dac? Do you have any low power iems or just mobile headphones to test any noise without the ground loop isolators? Do the ground loop isolators hurt the sound quality at all? (do they cut out everything that is quiet?)
I know this is using XLR from the mic, but if the sound is going through USB to your PC, does it have that annoying split second delay when you use effects? Or is this real-time like a true XLR/phono input?
Hey frank! big fan, this is a little random but would you be willing to do a roundup or tier list of the best gaming controllers that you can use for PC gaming. I know you talked about one that you useIn the video showing off your personal peripherals but I would be interested to see a few other options that you think are worth the money or neat in some way! you know of a lot of really cool companies that do custom stuff and also I personally agree with most of your opinions when it comes to things like this. def consider it if you see this comment
Did anybody feel like they needed to play Tony Hawk in the beginning? I just kept expecting to hear the sounds from changing options in the menu. It's a cool device, but it's still more expensive than the goxlr mini. Hard to justify paying the extra for the new kid on the block in this area.
yes but its almost like they were forcing this just to keep up with competitors, same with their new keylight. They didn't think through the design and there's almost nothing on this mixer from razer that we haven't seen on the goxlr mini
One thing I've yet to find is WHO makes the preamp inside. I don't care what the interface has if I don't even know the quality of the preamp inside it. GoXLR mini is cheaper, has high quality preamps that make using a dynamic mic easy, and it's just a great interface. For $250, this just isn't it. From reading reviews this seems to be a 50/50 flop no flop.
1:30 i had this problem before with my 3 monitor setup. A way i found out to get rid of this hum was to get an apple adapter. With my pc i have a usb-c male to 3.5 headphone female connector thing and it completely got rid of the hum and it was like less that $10 too. I forgot why but the adapter is basically a small dac
How do you use a type c port to use a good mic on a console. I’m genuinely interested because my mic on my Xbox is bad but I don’t mind the headphone quality
I’m not sure if the go xlr mini is not compatible with macs I don’t have a mac at the moment. I know the go xlr mini has no mac software so not one really does this better than the other one.
Anecdotally, no. As soon as I load up a game with a 250ohm, all audio just stops working. Have to restart synapse and re-plug mixer to get it running back up only for it to cut out again after a few minutes.
Hi, ehm so the past few months I've been getting static sound and audio cuts whenever I have multiple sound on like a game, chat and music. It used to be fine but as soon as I have more than 2 audio sources on it does that. So would a mixer work or is it just better to get a new pair of headphones?
How do you select what headphones to use though. do you have to plug into the mixer to hear your sources? I was planing on buying the whireless kraken v3 pros
if its anything like it's other usb equipment e.g. mics, don't buy it. it'll work for a while then the lack of good software will become apparent as your shit begins to malfunction (if it still works 8 weeks in)

I think the price needs to go down. GoXLR Mini is cheaper right now and looks like the better option. Good review tho!

Kind of funny how razer makes something like this instead of making their "high end" microphones actually sound worth a fuck.
