Yes, more videos like this!! You should do a video about setting up voice meter banana with a dual PC streaming setup (if you haven't already). Specifically when using only one USB mic. It is possible, but I'm sure a lot of people aren't sure how to do it. Thankfully I found a way to make it work, but I've seen the question 'how can I use a Yeti for dual PC streaming' asked very frequently online.

Got my Go XLR thanks to you, had noooooo idea how to set it up in depth like this. It really helped! Thanks for the amazing vid Harris! I can really see how much effort you and Sam have put in this one. The little details in the video really show you care, that's why loads of people have a lot of respect for your work :)
Brother! God Bless you and your wife. You have been amazing since I started watching you. You are full of information and I see that you love your viewers and always willing to help. You are literally the only person I trust when it comes to this kinda stuff. I waited 6 months before I can finally get my hands on the GOXLR due to high demands and lack of labor from Covid19. I can tell you right now. I absolutely love it. With this video, It's helped me understand more. I have the Quadcast mic and was looking at the 2020 from Audio Technica. I want an XLR mic not USB. Again, sold out just like every other thing on Amazon. You are the best man. Always pray and wish for a long and healthy life for you both. You sound like a very humble man.
I've had mine set up for a 2pc set up for a few months now and can't say that I knew about the 2 second hold to mute to all. That helps a ton! Thanks man.
Knowing I need the app before even doing the setting is one of the lego blocks that drove me crazy. Thinking my PC wasn't reading the damn Go XLR and then finding out Ohhhhhh I Need the bloody APP!
the fact you end with halo is why i subscribed. these settings are top notch. also, not the only reason why i subbed, but seeing halo just locked it in. thank ya
I've watched tons of Alpha Gaming vids. Recently got a Go XLR mini and watched this video again and learned so much more that I though would. Seriously impressed - not just with Harris's understanding of audio and the Go XLR but also his amazing ability to take a complex subject and teach the concepts in such a concise and compact way. Excellent Video. Hats off to Alpha Gamin! Thank you for all the fun learnings
I have had my go xlr for 4 months and never knew about the music option to send it seprate until now. YOU ARE SO GOOD AND UNDERRATED. Thank you, Harris!!
thank you for the info it's helped me a bit since i got rid of my DAW for the time being had to cancel my splice sub money is tight so back to basics but if i might add some things you can do with the GOXLR if you have the money for the software and have the time to learn and play with things you could use a DAW (digital audio workstation) instead of the built in FX/plugins and have way more control and effects then what comes with the mixer its self. you can also use a USB headset with the GOXLR by going line out from the mixer to the line in on your mother board then using voice meter banana to route line in out to your usb headset i use voice meter because the windows listen too option has more latency then how i'm doing it but it is possibly to use a usb headset with the GOXLR i'm personally using the Razer Kraken Kitty Edition.
i've been streaming to twitch for a few years now and i have to say this channel has helped me a lot. I was looking into a lot of expensive stuff because i heard it was the best and X streamer uses it. because of this channel I've been able to rationalize everything. I was going to pay $400 for a dynamic mic that I've seen so many people use and another $600 for the pro mixer to use it, but now i'm sticking with my current mic and when i'm ready upgrading to the go xlr and later on just a decent dynamic mic. This channel has saved me so much money by just being up front about everything. Thank you!
Question: what if a person live streams over their phone is the Go XLR work just fine? also is it a absolute must that I got to use a PC what if I got just a laptop?
Hey Harris, being an audio guy, this is by far the BEST explanation of EQ, Gate, Compression and De-Esser that I have ever heard! I've just got the Go XLR and for what I need, ie voice over work, recording as-live radio links and live streaming, it's almost perfect. I had a Presonus Studiolive 32SC which was way overkill. Then went to the RCP 1. I've just sold that and bought the Go XLR as a replacement. So glad I did! Thanks again. Paul
Question: what if a person live streams over their phone is the Go XLR work just fine? also is it a absolute must that I got to use a PC what if I got just a laptop?
Man... outstanding overview. I'm a total newb, and i feel like i could at least walk away from listening to a more technical conversation without being totally lost. Thank you!
BTW the Go XLR only needs (minimum requirements), according to Helicon: intel core 2 DUO CPU Ethernet port 1GB ram. knowing this (with my i7 2600) makes me really want to get one.
@@grqfes it uses basically 0% cpu usage and 0 percent gpu usage and I think the most ram itβs used for me is like 200 mb of ram so you could basically run it on any pc
I have to thank you for making this video. I used it to set up my goxlr originally, but LATER as Ive been using it, I realized the OTHER abilities you mentioned to further customize the device. So THANK YOU once again for making this very informative video!
Iβve been streaming regularly for 2 weeks or so and only have about 14 followers on twitch but I watch your videos so that my stream will be ready when the viewers come, thanks for the great advice
You're an absolute GOD SEND!!!! I was so lost before this video! I got the GoXLR because of your videos and now I know how to use it because of your videos! Thank you!
This video was extremely helpful! I did however run into a hickup following step 1.... Step 1 should really be, install the software. Reason being that all those goxlr devices that you mention at 3:50 don't show up until you install the software...
Accidently forgot to back up my Settings on my NAS, and had to reset Windows. So..... thank god this video exists so I could go back to watch it (again) and set it up to the way I had it before! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much! And yes... now it's saved to my NAS for easy recovery lol.
you sir are a life saver i just upgraded from a yamaha mg10-xu mixer and an at2035 mic to the goxlr and a rode podmic and i love it your setup guide was amazing and I have learned a lot about this mixer thank you
Dude you are so excellent. Every vid that I have stumbled upon has been a homerun. I love the straight forward approach, how you talk through potential problems even though you're not dealing with them at the moment, and you presentation. Thank you sir, your business/work ethic shines! You definitely have made many tasks less stressful. You're a damn legend.
->started watching this while installing the software ->audio cuts out because new GoXLR devices and sources get install ->Become stuck because now can't hear Harris
Haagrid I to have the same headset but I feel though I am doing something wrong because the audio in game just sounds rough. I am using a ground loop isolater thatβs not the type of problem I am having though. I donβt know how to explain it weβll but the audio coming in with the 3.5 jack just doesnβt sound right. Itβs very very loud almost tinny and if I try to lower the sound on the go xlr then it gets too quiet. What I am wondering is, when using the 933 do you think I should go into Windows setting and disable it as a listen device so that way just to be sure I am not getting twice the audio or something? Iβm just not sure about the whole thing. How do you have yours setup?
@@undecidedgaming2454 Have you downloaded "GHUB" software here, www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovation/g-hub.html You get additional line in mixer control in the GHUB app.
In regards to the topic you were covering at 24:20, having different sounds being recorded versus what is being streamed: -Does this only work on a two PC setup? -Are you recording through the same application? -Would it be possible using the GoXLR to record footage and get rid of all stream-related elements?(i.e. alert sounds/images, comments to chat mid game, etc.)
Probably one of Sam's best edited videos, that's for sure. Nice quick jokes that make you laugh. Just got myself a GoXLR now that they're available again and I'm LOVING it so far! Had the mini for a while, and if you can find it available and have the money, I super recommend the full GoXLR. However, the Mini is def better for a lot more folks, and I'm glad they made it.
That's what I want to know too. I got a Yamaha MG10XU specifically because it has RCA inputs. The problem is that EVERYTHING is fed as 1 input as far as Windows can see, which is very unfortunate. If I equalize my microphone for my voice using a DAW and virtual audio cable, the console's audio is gonna get destroyed because it's seen as the same input as what the microphone is pushing to the PC. Currently I feed my console into Line In on my PC and use OBS to adjust it as a workaround. I assume you'll be fine if you use the Line In port on the GOXLR. Most interfaces are great if you only stream on PC, going as far as using emulators for retro games, but when you want to use all hardware, it seems like it becomes very difficult. The MG10XLR would probably be a perfect mixer if it simply had that functionality for Windows to see every single line of input as a separate device on Windows. Or at least to DAWs with the proper drivers installed.
Scott Thompson So, what i did to get around this (on my Yamaha mixer) was get an hdmi audio extractor. Basically another box in the HDMI chain. It will extract the audio and send it to a separate audio cable (for me aux) and that was plugged into another input on the Yamaha mixer. From what i can see with the goxlr. There is a optical port, which i assume is a line in. You can plug the console into that via optical and then adjust with the PC app fader. I just ordered mine and should be here today from Amazon and i will try to confirm this theory.
This is one of your most useful videos yet. I especially liked the tips at the end about the dual-function Mute button and adding System to what the sampler can hear in order to cut straight from on-line content to sample. Keep up the good work, Harris. And yeah, I'm old enough to know what a floppy disk is/was.
This video has been a game changer for me. The videos put out by the company are pretty decent, but they don't go into the kind of "ELI5" details that I sometimes need. Thank you for this. I finally sound pretty good on stream. Sadly, the EQ can only do so much for my goofy voice, but it is a lot better than before.
Harris has always been my go to guy for things like this. Definitey a gem in the streaming community. I just wished he was bigger than some of the other streamers out there. Anything he does on his stream I bite/replicate.
@@TranquilThought Totally. Get a pair of Sony MDR-7506 phones for example, and the gold-plated connector screws on and off converting from 1/4" to 3.5mm. Industry/Broadcast standard headphones.
Bro there are soooo many tutorials and videos on here but this is by far the best video on the goxlr. Now I know I can mute myself to chat while streaming or record samples from the pc instead of downloading stuff. So easy and thx for making this video
Harris you are the man. I greatly appreciate this video. You explain the setup and function better than the manufacturer even does! Thank you for this video!
Rob Dollas I think he meant people that use a dual pc set up and use it for their streaming pc instead of gaming idk how it all works lmao looking to get my first pc soon
@@falconbridge3179 haha i actually do dual pc setup with discord on my streaming pc. it's just easier with a separate monitor keyboard and mouse. and I wasn't actually offended I just found it funny cuz im that guy hes talking about lol
This video was perfect! You literally answered every question I had about the Go XLR and now I'm completely sold and can stop using VoiceMeter. Thank you!
You can put Discord on EITHER PC...the point of this unit is to give you a blank audio canvas...ANYTHING is possible. There are many streams where I am not using a second PC...I use Switch often..and therefore NOT a second PC, and therefore I need my Discord on my stream PC because that's how Switch players communicate as well. You are bloody smart to set up Discord on the Stream PC. Cheers
everybody knows audio is probably the worst thing to get right or setup and when I have problems I always come back to this video to get my goxlr back in order - Thank you!
That Video was extremely helpful. I was so lost until i sat down and started looking things up. My sound went from potato to amazing in just 26 minutes. Thank you very much Alpha Gaming!!
I was toying with the idea of getting one of these with the Shure SM7B. I use a one PC set up for streaming. Your video has inspired me and now I'm definitely going to purchase one of these beauties. Thank you so much for your awesome content
Great video and tutorial, one thing to potentially add for EQ on the GOXLR; if you have a fan, loud PC fans/cooling, a window AC or some other form of consistent noise in the background set your EQ to the "California Smile" as a starting point then go through backing off the high mid to mid high range one at a time to focus in on eliminating or significantly lowering the background noise, once that is done increase try increasing the EQ slider directly to the left and right by a value of one or two to compensate for your voice sound. On mine bringing the 4K slider down to -4 almost completely removes all sound from a large window AC and still results in a great sound for voice with the 2 and 8 Khz ranges set at +3 and +4 respectively. Many thanks for the awesome content you provide and have a Merry Christmas!!
I've just received my GoXLR mini through today, had no idea what to do with it. This video has been amazingly helpful and I can't thank you enough :) Thanks Harris
Can I just say a massive Thank You! I have been running the GoXLR with a Rode Procaster for awhile now, It certainly made my audio alot better. However after following this guide my audio quality has made a massive improvement and is now on point. Couldn't believe just changing a few things could make such a massive difference. Thanks very much :)
Been really racking my brain on what to get for audio because I know its important and this video solidified my decision. I know its costly but I'm not just buying something, I'm investing in my future. Thanks for the video
Bro i look so many toturial Videos about the GO XLR but they all just show me a little, but you explain the whole thing in every part of it who usefull for me. you the best THANKS alot!!
This video has sorted every question I was wondering about setting up my Go XLR, which I discovered this device because of yourself...so thank you so much man! πͺπΌπΊ
Awesome video. When we are talking about the mute option, wouldn't be easier to use stream deck to mute discord. Very informative and although long, a lot of good information
RE: 2PC set up I run this to my stream PC and use the mic option you mention later the secret as you say, works like a dream. Means that I eliminate buzz/hum pretty easilly and can have less running on the game PC. Less resources being used on that gaming machine the better imo! I think this comes from my AV tech background at shows etc, but def both have pros and cons! Loved the video and thanks for sharing!
Getting my GoXLR delivered today and I'm heading out at some point to pick up a Blue Blackout Spark SL. This video is all I'm watching until that time comes and I'm super excited.
This really helped especially while I used a budget mic. Now I have the Elgato Wave 3 per your recommendation and things are even better! Thanks Harris!
@alphagaming Harris, thank you so much for this video. I just got my SM7B today and am awaiting the arrival of my GoXLR mini. This is so well explained. Thank you again.
Iβm a professional sound engineer who streams. I donβt have the go XLR, I have my own rig, but this video is really helpful and simply reminding me to treat my stream the way I treat my recordings. Thank you for the advice.
I've been meaning to comment on this awhile back. You can use any wireless headset. It doesn't have to have a line in at all. Step 1: Check every box in the Broadcast Stream Mix in the Go XLR app that you want to hear in your wireless headset. Step 2: In your Sound Control Panel, in the recordings tab. Right-click Broadcast Stream Mix and go to properties. Under the Listen tab. Check Listen to this device. In the drop-down, select your wireless headset.
I was finally able to buy me a GoXLR mixer bc itβs been sold out everywhere. Price was $499 from B&H. I will be getting it soon as it already shipped. I bought the xlr mic off Amazon. Iβm excited. Watching video to prepare. Thank you for this video.
I needed a solution and I watched a few of your videos on the GOXLR. I'm a studio go for many years so it was either this or a analog mixer. Decided to go for this, since I had no other true purpose for an analog mixer. Thanks for all your info.
Sooo... this video was long. Do you want me to do more comprehensive videos like this in the future or not? and, if so, what about next?
Make an advanced tutorial for overlays and OBS stuff
YES YES YES
Second the request for overlays and obs stuff like alerts, transitions, bitrate, just every setting in that bad boy

This video is GOLD man . So glad I clicked on it ! Very detail and comprehensive
Logitech G933 has a usb dongle with a line in on it aswell, so in theory that would also be compatible with GoXLR.
Haagrid I to have the same headset but I feel though I am doing something wrong because the audio in game just sounds rough. I am using a ground loop isolater thatβs not the type of problem I am having though. I donβt know how to explain it weβll but the audio coming in with the 3.5 jack just doesnβt sound right. Itβs very very loud almost tinny and if I try to lower the sound on the go xlr then it gets too quiet. What I am wondering is, when using the 933 do you think I should go into Windows setting and disable it as a listen device so that way just to be sure I am not getting twice the audio or something? Iβm just not sure about the whole thing. How do you have yours setup?
@@undecidedgaming2454 Have you downloaded "GHUB" software here, www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovation/g-hub.html
You get additional line in mixer control in the GHUB app.
In regards to the topic you were covering at 24:20, having different sounds being recorded versus what is being streamed:
-Does this only work on a two PC setup?
-Are you recording through the same application?
-Would it be possible using the GoXLR to record footage and get rid of all stream-related elements?(i.e. alert sounds/images, comments to chat mid game, etc.)
must... attempt... learning..
YO HOW DID THIS COMMENT FLY UNDER THE RADAR HOPE UR DOING GOOD FOO!
Probably one of Sam's best edited videos, that's for sure. Nice quick jokes that make you laugh. Just got myself a GoXLR now that they're available again and I'm LOVING it so far! Had the mini for a while, and if you can find it available and have the money, I super recommend the full GoXLR. However, the Mini is def better for a lot more folks, and I'm glad they made it.
What about using the goXLR with console while streaming on a pc with a capture card?
That's what I want to know too. I got a Yamaha MG10XU specifically because it has RCA inputs. The problem is that EVERYTHING is fed as 1 input as far as Windows can see, which is very unfortunate. If I equalize my microphone for my voice using a DAW and virtual audio cable, the console's audio is gonna get destroyed because it's seen as the same input as what the microphone is pushing to the PC. Currently I feed my console into Line In on my PC and use OBS to adjust it as a workaround. I assume you'll be fine if you use the Line In port on the GOXLR. Most interfaces are great if you only stream on PC, going as far as using emulators for retro games, but when you want to use all hardware, it seems like it becomes very difficult. The MG10XLR would probably be a perfect mixer if it simply had that functionality for Windows to see every single line of input as a separate device on Windows. Or at least to DAWs with the proper drivers installed.
I am curious about this as well!
Scott Thompson So, what i did to get around this (on my Yamaha mixer) was get an hdmi audio extractor. Basically another box in the HDMI chain. It will extract the audio and send it to a separate audio cable (for me aux) and that was plugged into another input on the Yamaha mixer.
From what i can see with the goxlr. There is a optical port, which i assume is a line in. You can plug the console into that via optical and then adjust with the PC app fader. I just ordered mine and should be here today from Amazon and i will try to confirm this theory.
I do this all the time. Pick up a optical cord on Amazon. Then just mess around and assign your console audio to a channel. works well!
I dont like ironing too Harris :> As always: good job, great video.
This is one of your most useful videos yet. I especially liked the tips at the end about the dual-function Mute button and adding System to what the sampler can hear in order to cut straight from on-line content to sample.
Keep up the good work, Harris. And yeah, I'm old enough to know what a floppy disk is/was.
Rode PodMic and a Go XLR mini are my next streaming upgrades. Let's goooooo!
ManOfCole this is my combo and they sound fantastic together
Shawty KING Thatβs what I hear! Iβm so pumped
This video has been a game changer for me. The videos put out by the company are pretty decent, but they don't go into the kind of "ELI5" details that I sometimes need. Thank you for this. I finally sound pretty good on stream. Sadly, the EQ can only do so much for my goofy voice, but it is a lot better than before.
*me:* this is so hard!
*Harris:* simple.
RussianKidDD hold my XLR cable*
Lmao
Harris has always been my go to guy for things like this. Definitey a gem in the streaming community. I just wished he was bigger than some of the other streamers out there. Anything he does on his stream I bite/replicate.
Go XLR needs a quarter inch headphone jack in the front instead of the 3mm jack
Or you could buy a converter for like $5. A good chunk of higher end headphones use the 3mm so I welcome it
@@TranquilThought Totally. Get a pair of Sony MDR-7506 phones for example, and the gold-plated connector screws on and off converting from 1/4" to 3.5mm. Industry/Broadcast standard headphones.
Bro there are soooo many tutorials and videos on here but this is by far the best video on the goxlr. Now I know I can mute myself to chat while streaming or record samples from the pc instead of downloading stuff. So easy and thx for making this video
i don't think my laptop " which is my streaming ps", has a line in . π
Same π so I guess weβre gonna be this βweirdosβ and have discord and music on the streaming pc
Harris you are the man. I greatly appreciate this video. You explain the setup and function better than the manufacturer even does! Thank you for this video!
"If you are one of those weirdos who has discord on their streaming pc..." why do I feel offended by this statement lmao?
Rob Dollas I think he meant people that use a dual pc set up and use it for their streaming pc instead of gaming idk how it all works lmao looking to get my first pc soon
@@falconbridge3179 haha i actually do dual pc setup with discord on my streaming pc. it's just easier with a separate monitor keyboard and mouse. and I wasn't actually offended I just found it funny cuz im that guy hes talking about lol
This video was perfect! You literally answered every question I had about the Go XLR and now I'm completely sold and can stop using VoiceMeter. Thank you!
I guess Iβm βone of those weirdosβ that only uses his Game PC for the Game :D
that makes around 90% of gamers so i guess 90% of gamers are weird
You can put Discord on EITHER PC...the point of this unit is to give you a blank audio canvas...ANYTHING is possible. There are many streams where I am not using a second PC...I use Switch often..and therefore NOT a second PC, and therefore I need my Discord on my stream PC because that's how Switch players communicate as well.
You are bloody smart to set up Discord on the Stream PC. Cheers
@@pyrosnappy7641 he's purely talking about dual pc setups for streaming bro
I just want to say, I reference this video so often after I reset my computer. Thanks so much for posting this.
everybody knows audio is probably the worst thing to get right or setup and when I have problems I always come back to this video to get my goxlr back in order - Thank you!
Excellent tutorial!!! TY!
This video should be required viewing for new GoXLR owners. I was so frustrated by all of the options before i found this.
Fantastic resource.
That Video was extremely helpful. I was so lost until i sat down and started looking things up. My sound went from potato to amazing in just 26 minutes. Thank you very much Alpha Gaming!!
I was toying with the idea of getting one of these with the Shure SM7B. I use a one PC set up for streaming. Your video has inspired me and now I'm definitely going to purchase one of these beauties. Thank you so much for your awesome content
Thanks! π
Harris. just bought myself a Go XLR (off the back of one of your other videos) and this has been very valuable! Awsome work! Thank you!
Great video and tutorial, one thing to potentially add for EQ on the GOXLR; if you have a fan, loud PC fans/cooling, a window AC or some other form of consistent noise in the background set your EQ to the "California Smile" as a starting point then go through backing off the high mid to mid high range one at a time to focus in on eliminating or significantly lowering the background noise, once that is done increase try increasing the EQ slider directly to the left and right by a value of one or two to compensate for your voice sound. On mine bringing the 4K slider down to -4 almost completely removes all sound from a large window AC and still results in a great sound for voice with the 2 and 8 Khz ranges set at +3 and +4 respectively. Many thanks for the awesome content you provide and have a Merry Christmas!!
You explained compression better than some videos about music production that deal with compression all the time. Thanks
Your Videos are, in my opinion, the best "Streamer-Guides" that one can find on UA-cam. And i love the chemistry between you and Sam xD
I've just received my GoXLR mini through today, had no idea what to do with it. This video has been amazingly helpful and I can't thank you enough :) Thanks Harris
I've watched this video SO MANY TIMES in the last year... THANK YOU SO MUCH
2021 and this is still a goldmine....just got my Go XLR and following this step by step!
Can I just say a massive Thank You! I have been running the GoXLR with a Rode Procaster for awhile now, It certainly made my audio alot better. However after following this guide my audio quality has made a massive improvement and is now on point. Couldn't believe just changing a few things could make such a massive difference. Thanks very much :)
Just got the GoXLR and was looking to see how I can get my Spotify working. At 5:58 I got my answer! Huzzah for informative UA-camrs!
Been really racking my brain on what to get for audio because I know its important and this video solidified my decision. I know its costly but I'm not just buying something, I'm investing in my future. Thanks for the video
Just got a GOXLR Mini and this video cleared up all the confusion and mistakes I had. Thanks!
I just ordered mine, and this video made me very excited to get it in a few days.
Bro i look so many toturial Videos about the GO XLR but they all just show me a little, but you explain the whole thing in every part of it who usefull for me. you the best THANKS alot!!
Greatest and clearest description of compressor that Iβve ever heard
You'r videos have helped me so much! They are straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you so much for making these kind of videos! :)
This video has sorted every question I was wondering about setting up my Go XLR, which I discovered this device because of yourself...so thank you so much man! πͺπΌπΊ
I've watched this like a dozen times. You're the best! Thanks Harris.
Though I do not have a GoXLR I learned a great deal about sound management and how things just work in general. Thanks once again!!!
Great Video, Very clear and easy to listen to! Thanks a bunch!!!! Mine should be arriving in 4-6 hours.
I got a lot of knowledge from youtube but this video is an enlightenment one, rarely I got something like that. big thanks.
Awesome video. When we are talking about the mute option, wouldn't be easier to use stream deck to mute discord. Very informative and although long, a lot of good information
RE: 2PC set up
I run this to my stream PC and use the mic option you mention later the secret as you say, works like a dream. Means that I eliminate buzz/hum pretty easilly and can have less running on the game PC.
Less resources being used on that gaming machine the better imo!
I think this comes from my AV tech background at shows etc, but def both have pros and cons!
Loved the video and thanks for sharing!
Getting my GoXLR delivered today and I'm heading out at some point to pick up a Blue Blackout Spark SL. This video is all I'm watching until that time comes and I'm super excited.
Got the GoXLR...shipped with the wrong power adapter. :(
This really helped especially while I used a budget mic. Now I have the Elgato Wave 3 per your recommendation and things are even better! Thanks Harris!
@alphagaming Harris, thank you so much for this video. I just got my SM7B today and am awaiting the arrival of my GoXLR mini. This is so well explained. Thank you again.
Iβm a professional sound engineer who streams. I donβt have the go XLR, I have my own rig, but this video is really helpful and simply reminding me to treat my stream the way I treat my recordings. Thank you for the advice.
I've been meaning to comment on this awhile back. You can use any wireless headset. It doesn't have to have a line in at all. Step 1: Check every box in the Broadcast Stream Mix in the Go XLR app that you want to hear in your wireless headset. Step 2: In your Sound Control Panel, in the recordings tab. Right-click Broadcast Stream Mix and go to properties. Under the Listen tab. Check Listen to this device. In the drop-down, select your wireless headset.
i don't use wireless headphones and can't find Line In Option in OBS !! what shall I do ?
I was finally able to buy me a GoXLR mixer bc itβs been sold out everywhere. Price was $499 from B&H. I will be getting it soon as it already shipped. I bought the xlr mic off Amazon. Iβm excited. Watching video to prepare. Thank you for this video.
I needed a solution and I watched a few of your videos on the GOXLR. I'm a studio go for many years so it was either this or a analog mixer. Decided to go for this, since I had no other true purpose for an analog mixer. Thanks for all your info.
