    After testing, this does work with XLR mics. I have my Shure running through my rodecaster pro. Then I use the source tab to add the rodecaster pro to the Wave 3 program. I then press the mute button ontop of the wave 3 so that it doesnt interfere with the sound quality. If you use obs, do not put your mixer as a device, put another wave 3 input with the Wave Stream Link selection. You can still add the wave mic to OBS by adding another device as Mic Input (Wave 3). Just label them differently so you don't get confuse and be sure to mute your mixer in OBS and mute the wave 3 mic either in your program or by pressing the phyiscal button on top. If you don't you will get a echo from both mics being captured.

    This a a fantastic option for people who already don’t have a go xlr, and haven’t gone down the xlr mic road. Glad to see there are more options.
    Goxlr quality with an xlr mic is still going to win out and I don’t see that changing. However goxlr with a usb mic inputted into it via 3.5mm is not a direct upgrade maybe now that this is released. If nothing else having options too not have too jump at a goxlr until you have more income coming in from streaming is pretty awesome imo and a great step forward for the streaming community.

    Quite well featured and comprehensive microphone and software. I'm actually quite impressed by it. A question, did you try anything to gain match the mics during comparison?
    And if I may... VST is actually the plugin technology develoved by Steinberg that is now common among DAWs. What you actually mean is just plain 'audio plugin inserts' implementation, either native(Elgato made plugins that will only work in this mic app), VST plugins(made by hundreds of plugin developers and supported by most audio related apps) or Audio Units(Apple's propriety audio plugin integration also made by many plugin developers). VST also has a VSTi implementation which is VST Instruments or virtual instruments.

    I feel like there wasn't enough emphasis placed upon one major difference. That would be that whereas the GoXLR does most, if not all, of the audio processing using dedicated hardware the Wave does everything within software.
    For some this likely wouldn't matter much if at all. Like those using a 2 PC setup or those with kick ass performance level specs. For others doing more in software could be an issue where they are gaming and streaming from the same PC. Especially ones who's PC already are being pushed hard and put away wet each steam.
    For the price this Wave USB mic does bring a lot to the table and many, many will turn to it I'm sure.

    There is one more advantage the GoXLR has and that is specifically for console streamers: it can receive audio directly from the console via optical cable. That feature alone was what put it on my radar back when you started talking about the GoXLR. The Wave is a great product for people starting out (and coming out just as I started convincing my missus to stream with me!). I don't foresee this replacing the GoXLR for anyone who already has it but I think Blue might have to step it up now. The Yeti has a formidable challenger now.

      Wave 3 has built-in pop filter as well, and also the sound sounds "worse" because there are no VSTs - for now (until Elgato updates Wavelink) you would need third party software to add VSTs (noise gate, noise supression, etc.) and once you do, it sounds just as good as the rest of them.

    My bro!
    That NDA is killing me. haha
    Real talk.. You were a huge help in my decision making while taking my streams to a new level.
    Elgato is a name and product line I passed by many many times because it seemed too much cost for little benefit.
    I may still stand in that thinking; however, my praise is still coming. Mostly to you Mr. H.
    I took to heart what you said about the GOXLR in many of your videos, mostly because of the need for a compact I/O diverse solution, I have XLR mics and prefer them, and the digital audio mapping, and the voice changer, and the professional clean up, and and and! RGB LIGHTS!
    Watching this video made me scratch my head.
    Not a single thing you mentioned the GOXLR not having the capacity for, am I not actively doing right now. In fact, I already have had my streamdeck set up to submix and re-mapping. Plus.. You can entirely change the GOXLR profile from the stream deck, giving it an entirely different approach to changing mapping on the sliders while changing an OBS scene, iCUE lights, Philips Lights, send a Twitch Message and.... Well.. I hope you get the point; and yes, I do all that stuff with just one button push on the streamdeck.
    Nice video though, I do think I want to buy an Elgato Mic, thanks to you Elgato has me buying lots of toys, but the GOXLR stands in a realm of it's own still.
    My only issue I heard with the WAVE mic was the close-up audio quality wasn't favorable. But from a distance the WAVE and competition wad dead heat.

I have been wanting to be able to adjust individual volumes like this and have mic monitoring.

  • @thegreatgildersneeze
    @thegreatgildersneeze 4 роки тому

    Have to agree on physical faders. That will always be the defining feature for me, and why i went through absolute hell (well before the GoXLR was a thing) to set up a physical mixer in a two-PC setup. being able to adjust audio quickly and accurately without clicking to the proper window, or workarounds like "incremental button presses on a streamdeck" are always going to be the superior method, IMO.
    I'm still unable to use the GoXLR in my setup as i require more than one XLR mic for live guests on stream, but if i could get away with that, i would, for sure. That's all I really would like in the market (even if it would be more pricey). A GoXLR with four more faders and a few more mic inputs.

    on the topic of software vst's, if you are already okay with taking the cpu hit to do software vst's then cantabile is a good option. Cantabile is simply a vst host program that will allow you to use ANY vst you want (there are tons of awesome free vst's out there, everything from your standard noise suppression, gates, eq, compression, to reverb, voice changers, autotune, etc). It even plays nicely with voicemeeter, sitting in between it and the output and therefore allowing your mic to sound consistent across all apps (discord, obs, etc) without having to set things up multiple times. It DOES add a small amount of latency to the mic though, so you will have to add a delay to your webcam in obs to sync things up again.
