Harris has been a huge influence to my choice of microphone, and for 3 weeks of using, the wave 3 is the best bang for buck imo, Thanks Elgato and Thankyou Harris
THANK YOU ELGATO for WaveLink. I'm a Mac user and for 10 years I've been looking for a solution like this. I've struggled with VB-Cable, Soundflower, Capto, etc, etc. I usually got what I needed, but the effort and aggravation often made me regret having to do the project at all, not to mention the fear of not being able to repeat the solution for other workstations. It took about 20 minutes for me to realize that I'd be removing all of those patched methods from my workflow forever. It would have taken 5, but I had to realize I couldn't run Wave:3 though a USB hub. Great work. Really, really great work.
Great move by elgato.
Canceled my Samson mic order, pre-ordered this one. Was thinking about the GOXLR... but can now focus on a stream deck. WHAT A MOVE! competitors must hate you guys right now. The idea of having one less hardware component to deal with is superb.
I’ve been using wave 3 for a few weeks and it’s be awesome love the mixer software since I’m not good with audio
Bro could you tell me where i can buy one? Their website says out of stock.
I love this. Would. Love to get this mic.
Bought a Wave 1 today! So awesome! :)
great job guys! 👍
Ha I want to get you a pop filter, but man this video was helpful. Been pulling my hair out, but now I got things set up. Feels so good.
God damn, my man Harris Heller prevails with his 200IQ suggestion.
The only one thing in this mic that make me want to change my old mic
*CLIPGUARD*
I just got the Yeti X and Elgato drops this!
liked because of that shot out
okay i'm on mac and in wave link i'm getting this annoying reverb delay on my voice.. latency issue maybe? idk
elgato is the goat hands down best streaming gear out there i love it
Uuuuuh at 00:47 even showing a song from Harris Heller as Spotify example :D
They're playing their partnership pretty well!
Wave:3 arrived today, after Harris recommended it + I did some Research with other TH-camrs' videos :)
Why is the supported capture cards for inputs limited only to the 4k60 S+? I have an internal HD60 Pro capture card that I recently bought from you guys and would love to be able to utilize it in Wave Link. Any plans on expanding the supported capture cards?
Within the first few minutes they explained why you can't use the software standalone. The Mic has hardware to handle the mixing in it, that's why it requires a Wave Mic. Though they could come out with a smaller, cheaper audio mixer just to sell the software
That pretty much also explains why the mic has a usb 3.0 cable included.
can wave link pick up the internal elgato capture cards yet? I have a 4k 60 Pro mk2 but do not see it available for wave link and getting a double play back
How about adding a recording option like rode connect to help podcasters?
Mhh Voicemeter Banana is for free and outputs 3 (5 if you pay) separate audio channels. And you also can change the audio level for Monitoring and Stream separately. So why should I get this software?
will they be adding things like eq, gates and limiters ?
I noticed you had v1.4 on the firmware of your microphone including a slightly newer build of the Wave Link Software. Is this publicly available? They ship with v1.2
Can I use the 4k60 capture card that plugs like In in to your pc like your graphics with the wave link software
so for the ear icon , what do we set it to when we're streaming and when we're not? bc i dont want to hear myself
Can i use this to create a channel for PS4 party chat audio using remote play on a mac?
Just gonna join the chorus of people asking for a standalone version of the software. It's not worth giving up my XLR mic for but I would buy the software in a heartbeat if I could.
This supports XLR Mic. But yes you would still need this mic running to turn on the app. Run your XLR through your mixer and add your mixer as a profile in the wave link app. Then mute your wave link mic so there won't be a echo in your recordings. Then in OBS, add another wave link device that's set to the mixer profile. Make sure the wave link mic is also muted in obs. Then it should work in your recordings.
@@DJSkandalous still means you have to waste money on a lower quality mic. i also want this software but not the elgato mic
@@brtcobra The mic itself is really good
there's a free software called "voicemeeter" and it does exactly what this software do
@@foufouthksefouskwth2771 Voicemeeter isn‘t free, it is donationware. The Potatoe version with 3 in and outputs is about 50 dollars for commercial use. After some test period, you get a countdown screen every 6 hours, that deactivates the software and says: Hey, you have to pay for further use. The duration of the countdown gets even longer over the time, so I deinstalled it (because it was ok for free, but I personally would put more likely the 50 bucks or even more for a better hard- or software solution).
I would totally prefer to buy this one for the price but I am not going to downgrade from my Procaster to this mic. :( And „just plug it in to use the software“ isn‘t the way I want to go.
The great plus over Voicemeeter here is also that you can have acces to it from an elgato streamdeck.
I meant is there a wat to turn the Wave 3 off when I dont want touse it or do I have to unplug the mic from the power source everytime?
why cant i use any microphone with it as it has a slot in the new one where i can plug in any mic? :(
in the wave link software..is there a way to route/add system audio on a Mac?
will this work with SCREENFLOW
Is there a way to turn off the Wave 3 or doI have to unplug it each time I dont want to use it?
Is there a way to set a noise gate or mic threshold?
The question is we need a web cam soon if not then a cam?
I have a headset with 7.1 surround sound, does the mixer support surround sound?
Will Elgato make gaming headphones next?
Is it possible to use the Wave DX microphone with a different interface then the Elgato Wave XLR and still use the Wave Link software?
How do you hide the default channels from the windows sound mixer? Anytime I open my sound mixer it shows system, game, etc even though I don't use them
Hi, looks great!. But what about noises in the background? I'm doing sim racing and my Shifter is very loud (magnet Shifter). It's not usable as a Directional microphone,I isn't it?
I recommend using RTX Voice as a noise removal layer if you have an NVIDIA card from the last 6 years. even a GTX 1050TI can run it now that they put out an official version for GTX cards
So would this eliminate the need for an Elgato Chat Link for PS4 streamers and content creators?
When will the Wave Link Software be compatible with Apple M1 Chips? Can't use my Wave1 properly for almost two month now...
Does wave link need to stay opened while using the mic or do your settings get saved and used even when the app is inactive?
I am asking because my macbook pro from 2017 has trouble managing all my required apps for streaming. I am very interested in the elgato mics but am affraid the software might be too much and affect my stream performace.
Anyone we can inform me about this?
Does anyone have any suggestions for this, my Monitor Mix mutes every time I go to listen to it. but it works when I listen to the steam mix
Booting up WaveLink causes static and sometimes stuttered/corrupted audio system wide. It goes away when I close the program, but as long as it's up, it causes this to whatever output I choose. Idk what's happening here??
What if there's an echo? Also if I have Sound Capture should I remove it?
Looking for some assistance from some kind stranger. I am adding the stream mix into OBS and receiving a feedback loop when I switch it to Monitor Output.
You still have to alt tab out to get to the software with a mixer you can still play and and fix your audio
Yeah, its a nicer looking version of Voicemeeter banana locked to a set of microphones to work.
Wave Link can be controlled with Stream Deck, so you don't have to tab out in order to control your audio.
Elgato Gaming ok that’s very interesting thank you for responding
when, for example, adding the browser audio channel and changing the output to wave link browser, it's makes it so that I can't hear the browser anymore. How do I fix that?
Quick question should you have wave link on your streaming monitor or gaming monitor?
Streaming i think is the best
Is there a way i can control it physicaly, i dont want to have to open the software mid stream, it would be nice to have something like the goxlr but just 6 faders but if you click a button itll switch to the broadcast symble or the headset symble, and can mute it or unmute and can link then or unlink, if you can that would be nice because from what i know there is nothing that can do that
There is only 1 channel and my mic is not added when I open the app? I made sure to set the correct default input and outputs in windows sound settings before downloading. Is this a bug? Orrrrr
Hello! I have a problem with WaveLink. Small but annoying. I configured the Wave 3 microphone with Windows 10 as recommended. Everything works fine except the effects. When I make voice settings on the Elgato EQ, I can't hear them in the headphones. As if they are not turned on at all, but the effect icon indicates that it is turned on. The same goes for other effects. The same effects enabled in Audacity works fine. What is the reason for this? I will be grateful for any help.
So taking the monitor mix / stream mix feature out of the equation, what is the software doing that I couldn't be done in the App volume and device preferences settings in Windows directly?
So taking the out of the equation
id gladly pay to use the software without the mic, but for obviously far less than the mic, perhaps this can be possible someday?
what do i do if no audio is going thru a particular channel?
Im having issues with the audio, im trying to use a USB headset that its connected to my PC but i cant hear anything, i can only listen if i connect my headphones to the back of the microphone
(Wave 3). Can i please get some assistance?
Hi there, i have the wave 3. And for some reason i cant hear anything in my Artics Wireless Headset. Can some one help me?
Is there a way to set an input to the Xbox companion app?
I know this video says that wireless headphones work with the Wave Link software, but I've been having so much trouble trying to get my Arctis Pro wireless headset working with Wave Link. There are no videos on youtube that cover this and I can't find anything about why this headset in particular with the DAC attached doesn't work with the Wave Link software. I can find the Arctis Wireless Pro Game and Chat sources in Wave Link but when I connect them no audio goes through my headset at all no matter what. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
I'm running into an issue where I can't use my headphones outside of plugging it directly into the 3.5mm jack. I can see my headphone name in the selection list under Monitor Mix, but I'm not getting output.
Has anyone run into anything like this? What am I doing wrong?
Wish it had EQ functionality. Then it would completely remove the need for a GoXLR
My Wave 3 Firmware version says 1.0.3 and there is no "Firmware Update" button anywhere. Are you using a Beta version ? or does the button only show when there's an update available?
Hi I just got my Wave 3 but I have this issue where my stream mix is just not working. Theres no sound or output going out through the stream mix. I checked every source and none of them is muted. How do I fix it? Also I can't click on the 'ear' icon to monitor it or the 'sound' icon doesnt have any lines (?) please help idk what to do..
No sound when set Chrome Output to Browser. ( I am using Creative AE-9 and Elgato Wave-3 ) How do it set ? Thank you.
Help ... the Wavelink Plugin is not working for me at all. It doesn't show up in my list! It says it's installed and I can't uninstall it. I have upgraded to the latest versions of the Elgato software and I'm on Mac Ventura 13.4. I'm stuck because the Wavelink plugin doesn't even show up in my listing for me to control my Stream Deck +!!!
I have this software and was wondering if there was a way to sample audio and play it back immediately. The go XLR has the sampler buttons but is there an alternative for the wave?
You can download our Sound Deck plugin which will allow you to clip, record, sample, and playback audio.
Wave Link is great, it's worked for me for the last year until the other day it stopped showing the wave Link Stream as an audio source for StreamLabs OBS and I haven't found a fix for it yet.
I found it shows up as an option in Settings > Audio > Global Audio Devices > Mic/Auxiliary Audio (I expected it to be available under Desktop Audio however that seems to not be the case).
For some reason i can't get it to work properly w/ OBS and an Elgato HD60S. My capture card's audio comes thru the wave 3/mix aux box in OBS, not the elgato box in OBS.....and the mic itself, can't hear myself speak into it.
It’s just me that cannot keep wave link settings after windows reboot ? Every single time I turn off my pc next day all settings are gone…
At 4:30, does anyone know what arm he is using? It is exactly what I want and can't seem to find one.
i am watching this video because of harris or alpha gaming
i'm watching him live in another tab right now lol
How to use the Stream Deck+ and Wave Link to do something basic - like being in middle of game and wanting to increase/decrease the volume of teammate mic without going out of game - as far as I can see this is impossible... as is using these to listen to a game normally using headphones without having a 1 second delay in game audio??? What is point or use of "monitoring" mix if all it does is play back game audio and my own microphone voice input with a delay?? How am I supposed to play game with audio delay... how am I supposed to speak with an echo of myself playing back through my headset? I don't get WTF this software/hardware combination solves exactly?
howcome my elgato 4k60 doesnt pop up for an sound option
never tell someone to think of gain as volume :(
Any plans for a standalone version of Wave Link or an Elgato XLR mic that comes with Wave Link maybe?
We all want this but I doubt they'll do it.
Hey, This mite be a impossible fix on your end but I want to use the microphone for both stream and in game console chat
That would be awesome but the work around is using a sound card, and using the line out from the pc to the console
Can Anyone tell me how i can get audio into my headset. I have a Astro A40 With the mix amp. Got everything setup, Changed monitor mix to Astro Mix amp pro Game, But the bars are moving to state i am getting sound but can't hear anything in my headset. But once i plug headset into wave 3 mic And change monitor mix to headphones Wave 3 i get sound. So when i Unplug the mic or even delete the wave link software and plug headset back into mixamp pro. I get sound. What could be the issue. Only had mic a week now and been trying ever since to figure away around.
For some reason I have 0 input level with the wave link software but when I uninstall the app the mic is working again what?? What am I doing wrong?
This product doesnt seem to exist on your site. Is it only for your hardware?
Would be nice to buy it if there was actually a stock....
I need help because I’m trying to use this on my ps4 and I’m soon buying the elgato 3 and idk how to use the wave link on my ps4 please anyone HELPPP
Can I use this for a dual PC setup? If yes this is a life saver
you actually can if you put a aux cable 3.5 mm cable from output on the mic to line input on other pc but i would add a hum destroyer filter between mic and other pc
Okay, I just cannot find a solution for my problem - am I really the only one having it?
I don’t want anything special. I got the rode procaster and the Elgato wave xlr. All I want is to use wave link to apply some audio treatment in order to make my voice sound better and to remove unwanted noise. Then I only want to use this improved voice sound in applications such as discord, for example.
So I just got one single channel (the microphone, via wave xlr), applied some VSTs and this is it.
Now I got two questions:
1. Now that I applied the audio treatment, I just want to hear how I sound like, UPON the application of these VSTs, of course. How do I do that? Or is this exactly what you are using applications such as Audacity for..? And if this is the case: what exactly is the monitoring output even for? If not for listening to how one sounds like with the VSTs put on?
2. in discord, what channel do I have to select as „input“? „wave xlr mic in“ or „wave link stream“?
I cannot route ARK Survival evolved game audio through Wave Link. I know the usual steps since I have been using their software with other games for years without any problems.
Hi guys need help badly after my purchase today of the wave 1, and using on my stream tonight turned into a nightmare..so hopefully someone can either help, or point me to videos.
i will say this could be a bit long .
So first, my regular set up prior to wave 1.
OBS, streaming PS5 content 99% of the time, i used a chat link cable, plugged into my Elgato HD60s+, into my PS5 controller.
separate Yeti mic for the chat audio.
(this all worked flawlessly, other than constantly messing with mic/game sliders to make everyone happy.
So what i did tonight was probably a bit hasty, that's why it didn't work anywhere near how i wanted, in fact i just added a source of the Wave 1 to just use mic, didn't or couldn't get any of the wave software to work.
I also had to have the chat link connected in its usual way into the controller.(only way to get ps5 audio to push to my stream and me)
So i will now explain what i did tonight and were i think the problems lies, and hopefully you guys can help me in some way.
Disconnected old Yeti, removed from OBS.
Connected Wave 1, and followed introductory video, to get my main OBS settings to output the mic to wave1, and i indeed got the mic/aux to show up in OBS, and i could hear my voice perfectly through the headphones.
(ONLY when plugged into wave 1,as i was testing, don't forget I'm going to need to plug headphones into PS5 controller for me and audience to get game sound, unless the channels can help in some way)
So here is were i think the first major problems started.
I don't or didn't understand what main windows audio settings i needed for my set up, especially the main input/output section at the top as the wavelink intro video shows you.
In the end i ended up just using the wave in OBS as a source, and was back to how i used my yeti.(not what i want obviously haven't spent this much on the wave 1)
So here is were i need help with, probably all of it tbh, but ill do a list....
1. what main windows settings do i need for input/output when going through the wave software to windows audio.
2. how do i now get my PS5 audio to broadcast to me and my audience??
through wavelink
3. how do i now add channels within wave software to set my system up so i can use the software as intended, and hopefully have a way of controlling all my game and audio levels to audience and me.
I don't have a Wave Mic but I have a Stream Deck+ and it seems Wave Link can be used with just this. Not sure what that means? Does it mean the mixing hardware that used to be in the Wave Mic is also now in the Stream Deck+? Do I need to plug the Stream Deck+ into a USB3 (red) port? I currently have it in a USB2 (blue) port and it seems to be working??
Yes, Stream Deck + hardware unlocks Wave Link software for use with any microphone.
Why is the gain in % in this video but now its numbers
One question
Does the wave 3 mic can record manualy on OBS mic volume ? Or it just can run only on wave link software ?
Recently bought the elgato wave 3. Downloaded the wave link software. The software is showing that I have two elgato wave 3 inputs when I only have one. Need help
Could you share with us where you bought it from it seems like its sold out everywhere.
Got sent here to find out why I hear myself nonstop and I'm just stuck here since installing this software with no clue why it's doing this.
neato
Was this recorded with the Elgato Wave Microphone?
I don’t think so cause he sounds the same in every video. There’s wasn’t a “oh, he sounds diff, what’s he using” moment for me on any of the Elgato mic videos.
Don't want the mic but id pay for the software, please. :D
Ok, but now I’m curious about how to mute certain ones for each stream scene. On my be right back screen I only want the audio from Spotify to play & nothing else. I overall love this cause it’s less complicated than the virtual audio cables I’m using
Stream Deck automates the scenes' audio levels of wavelink
@@lonewolf9325 So, if used with streamdeck it automatically changes audio levels when you change scenes? I got one coming in later this week
@@tokyohanamura Yes it changes automatically. I saw this from "Defrag" : Get Perfect Audio from WaveLink. My streamdeck is coming this week as well
@@lonewolf9325 Thanks for the heads up, I’ll give their video tutorial a look!
I’m digging how customizable the Streamdeck is compared to the one SLOBS uses on phones/tablets (which was what I used). Very hyped for when it arrives Thursday!
@@tokyohanamura Cool. Adios💫
I am getting bad sync issues with the wave link software, forget even outputting it to anything, the monitor output is off as a result of this software. Running i9 10900k, not a system resource issue. Very frustrating and can't find any info on fixing the issue.
yeah me too, none of the preset audio presets are even there. I've troubleshot everything the website told me to do and still no fix, there's literally no info on it, half the time the software wont even detect the mic, I'm lucky if it does, if u have a fix let me know
I can't i use my mic on my ps4 its not working
make the software able to be used with other current popular microphones and add a prace tag if you need to, the mic instantly sold out
perf the blue yeti
@@DJ_Shadow They built their software to actually use hardware in the mic. Go get VoiceMeeter and fumble your way through it if you want to keep your Yeti.
If I choose W11 for Chrome, browser audio. My sound disappears in my headset.
Edit: not many answers from Elgato.
can one use it for other mic than elgato mic
Yes and no, you still need to have the Elgato Mic plugged in..
Hey team Elgato, i use Stream Deck and Corsair devices, but i can't buy ur micro, and my device suits me - this program can be worked with another microphones? I redy to buy this program)
Wave Link is powered by Wave:1 and Wave:3 so it does require a Wave mic connected in order to work. You can add another microphone to Wave Link but you need to have a Wave:1 or Wave:3 connected first.
Wavelink software disconnects randomly cause audio issues, been a well known bug for over a year... they've pushed numerous updates but wont address the issue at hand. Uninstall/Re-install is their only solution given by tech support and it still doesn't resolve the issue.
