Roland Bridge Cast X | Review and Settings | This has replaced my GO XLR mini | (Review) 🔥🔥🔥

- The Roland Bridgecast X was just released last month (February 2024). This is an all in one desktop dual-bus audio mixer. Perfect for streaming, gaming, creating content, and making music. #ROLAND works extremely well, the price I paid was $499, could vary depending on your location.
There is not a lot of instructions on how to set up the mixer properly. I'm still trying to perfect mine. The only thing included in the box was the mixer, 2 usb type-C cords, registration card, and a pamphlet. *You have to buy a power adapter, unless you are plugging the mixer into your PC.
This video is just my set up. You do not have to follow my set up. If you have a different set up, please let me know. The one thing I can't seem to figure out is me hearing my own voice as I use the microphone (not a game changer), but I will adjust to it.

![⭐🎚️ Bridge Cast BETTER Than GoXLR?! [Review + Tips]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cWnAaRneq60/mqdefault.jpg)
Turns out it actually doesn't need an additiona lpower supply if you're connecting your USB-C directly to PC
I've been watching videos for weeks. I bought an extra USB-C cord. I'm gonna use the power cord and hook that to my ps5. Any idea how to turn off the echo/hear myself talking in my headset?
I had that exact same sound card you had. I also connected my PS5. The audio issue were the mic settings... Once you play around with it, you will also notice if you have on stream mix or not. It will take some tinkering but I'm sure you'll get your right mix, but it's not a hardware issue like I thought it was initially
@@Iwhowizdom thanks I switched everything around. Been testing my Ps5 all morning 🌄. Either is working beautifully. Have a blessed day 🙏
@@Badboygamingfordadswouldn’t you just lower the monitor slider in the mic input for yourself?
@@haies09 i thought so but then I can't hear anything?
It was difficult trying to figure out how to set it all up with an external capture card to the PS5, but Roland does have very good customer support and a lot of different setup variation guides on their website. That help a lot. I wish the internal capture card output at least 1080 120, but maybe in future generations. Overall a fantastic product to me personally
I'm slowly figuring it out, and customer support responds fairly fast.
So, you connected the Roland to an external capture card like an elgato?
@@Mind_Blown_Gaming No, capture card is no longer needed.
@@Badboygamingfordads i disconnected the elgato hd60 X only elgato capture card is in my pc. But, I have a ran the usb c to the usb 1 port Selected under Mic settings, USB headset (BRIDGECAST X-I) for Input Device.
Select Output Device, then select "USB headset (BRIDGECAST X-I)" for Output Device.
Output to headphones setting is now active.
Select "Voice chat audio" for Output to headphones.
Items under Information for the connected HDMI device are now active and sound is output to the HDMI. I’ve also went into the BRIDGE CAST app, ensure that the game sound is fed to the [HDMI] channel and the voice chat sound is fed to the [CONS/MOBI] channel, and adjusted their volumes accordingly. However, when I go to speak my mic isn’t picking up on the PlayStation 5 but it does in OBS. I can hear but, when I go into Warzone my squad can’t hear me and a mic is crucial. I’m trying to figure this out. I use an xlr mic that requires 48 phantom power. Xbox was easy to setup it’s on HDMI 2 ps5 is the only thing giving complications lol and it’s on HDMI 1.
So I just received mine and came back to your video for reference. Do you leave the unit on all the time or you unplug it when you’re done? Kind of a shame they didn’t add a power button 😊
Mine is plugged into my computer and I use a second cord for power(not needed). But I do not keep it on the entire time
Literally 45 minutes ago I set mine up, I had the exact same initial setup thoughts 😂
How'd you set your up? It's so confusing with directions 🤣🤣
Great video! I am struggling with the fact that I can't separate out the tracks in OBS and still control the volumes with BridgeCast X. I had to set the BridgeCast X stream sound (mic) to not record, but heard in stream, and then separate the rest of the tracks to set those to record, not heard in stream.
Also, I am now having an issue with the music audio sounding shaky or dropping through the BridgeCast X to stream in OBS 😢
There is very little on the internet about troubleshooting for this thing yet, so thank you for doing a video!
I asked questions through customer support and they were quick to respond. For me I didn't separate everything in OBS I just use different knobs. There is a video on UA-cam where a guy explains how to have separate sources in OBS, but its the Bridge cast. That should still work the same. Good luck 👍
Being you’ve had it for awhile now, what’re your thoughts still? Would you recommend it? Has there been any updates that solved anything you had problems with?
Yes everything works perfect now. I would highly recommend. I haven't had time to do a part 2 or follow video
Thanks for the review!
The frame is made in plastic or metal?
Metal its slightly heavy
Thanks for your answer@@Badboygamingfordads
@@lestreeteuh you're welcome
Im currently using a 2 pc set up with the goxlr and the internal elgato 4k60 pro , is the capture card in roland as good ? and can i use my capture card instead ?
It's amazing I have no problems. I sold my go XLR mini and El Gato HD60s on Ebay. Bridge cast x has only been out since February and it's all in one
Did you have any issues with drivers ? Windows 10 is not able to install them for me.
I'm using Windows 11, I uninstalled my drivers and then reinstalled. Try unplugging and plugging back in the mixer. Hope this helps
Cannot play game over 60Hz in any resolution while capturing or streaming. I bought it, tested it during 6 hours. A real pain so set it to work the firs time while the HDMI setting are set to "INTERNAL DEFAULT" and signal is not accepted by the monitor over. You must use USB-C cable to change settings. Also sounds are limited to 5 seconds. Last thing, while updating it sys to replug USB cables as they are already plugged. In fact you must unplug power to reboot the Bridge Cast X. Really decieved , very poor capture specifications, i sent it back.
Oh no I showed on stream my settings. And I was at 120Hz. I'm sorry, this video is old and I did a video right out the box. I sti use it with no problems. I have a connection to staff if you want it
does the hdmi support dual output? or do i need another capture card for my camera
No capture needed.
@Badboygamingfordads so if I plug in my camera and gaming pc, it is able to output both at the same time?
@@AAmxs yes, just can't run 2 systems at the same time
I would like to record my mic and the akai mpc connected to the line aux stereo input like im doing on my focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3d gen (but with all the dsp effects plus and phisical control of a mixer ) . Do u think i will loose in audio quality/ audio converters / latency/ preamp? Thank u in advance
Short answer no. I sold my capture card and my hdmi converter when I bought the Bridge cast x. It truly is all in one. Is your mic XLR? And if you want to hear yourself use the line out on the back of the bridge cast x. I don't like to hear myself so I use phones and I adjusted what my stream hears versus me.
Yeah i got both mics xlr (one condenser and one dynamic when im not in studio) . Of i course i was talking about the roland bridge cast basic (i m not a big "gamer" but sometimes it could happen that i wanna put some game in my streams). Im talking more a musician that needs more phisical control and real time dsp when im singing / recording improvising with my akai mpc live@@Badboygamingfordads
@@TheFab_ Does your akai mpc have a usb-type C port?
@@BadboygamingfordadsEheheh in my dreams ...no " just" 6 outpout channels. Thats why im searching desperately an audio interface /mixer with dsp to with a 3-4 inputs stereo. Thanks bro
@@TheFab_ yeah I don't think is a good match. Maybe Rode Cast duo 🤔
Pls review the voice shapeshifter it has
Noted ✅
Did you by chance have a problem with the bridges physical interface? I downloaded the newest firmware update and now none of the buttons work! This's the second Bridge X I've gotten! Both new!
I had a brief flash, but I had both USB-C's plugged into my computer. Now I only have one. Sorry you went through this.
@@Badboygamingfordads Yeah i only have one USB in my laptop and powers going through a wall adaptor. I get a brief light flash when turning the thing on. After that all I get is a flashing power button. Out of the box on firmware 0.00 everything seemed kosher.
@@BrandNameEntertainment firmware should be 3.06 its confusing. Hopefully you downloaded the updated version, which will have you unplug the USB download and than plug it in again
@@Badboygamingfordads Okay, so it downloaded from 0.00 out of the box to 1.06.
If i go to update tab again it says update from 1.06 to 1.06 again, like what! Is there any other way you know how to get that version outside of the software?
@@Badboygamingfordads Software version is on 3.02 (Build 403)
14:48 tryna tell you my brother look up the bridgecast x owners manual on their website. Don’t know why they didn’t include one in the box but……
That's where I've gotten most of my answers. Wish I could figure out how not to hear myself? If I mute myself the game audio is also muted
@@Badboygamingfordads i figured how to mute personal from the stream, if you’re familiar with Sonar for Streamers by steel series the app is similar to the Roland mixer app.
@@Badboygamingfordads wym bro
@@Jus-Too-Smoove disregard wrong message someone message disappeared
@@Mind_Blown_GamingHow??
I'm having trouble with my Bridge Cast X I have the game showing on my second monitor and sound coming through in Streamlabs but I still can't get any video in Streamlabs from my Bridge Cast X
Gotta make sure you have hdmi plugged into bridge cast x aswell as a USB-C
@@Badboygamingfordads I do have hdmi and usb-c connected I have one console in hdmi in 1 one in hdmi in 2 and hdmi out connected to my second monitor and usb-c connected to the PC but I’m only getting sound in Streamlabs not video
@jpg334 I'm think you have to change settings in Slobs. The Monitor only, Monitor and output etc... Sorry its hard to explain without a pc in front of me. Also in the last part of the video I explain the Windows settings. In your sound settings your line out playback listen to this device should be set to the monitor you want the sound to come from. I use a headset.
@@Badboygamingfordads I’ve contacted Roland about this and Streamlabs too and I’ll see what they say about it but thanks for your input I appreciate it
@@jpg334 you're welcome. I wish there was more instructions from Roland, it was minimal and confusing. It was a lot of trial and error 😕
I think you need to lower the gain a little. Or move mic a little. The sound is a bit off
Thank you I've adjusted since this video 📹 ❤
So in your opinion, is this better then the GoXLR?
Honestly. Yes, I've only had it 2 days. And I'm still learning. I just wish there was better instructions and direction. I just finished hooking up my PS5. No more HD60S, no more audio extractor. Everything goes into the mixer. I'm loving it
@@Badboygamingfordads you had the mini right? Which doesn’t have a lot of the features the big version does. So what features are better than the GoXLR?
@@haies09 I only had the mini. Maybe the bigger version had more options. The ability to control what I hear and my viewers hear is a game changer. The ability to have my own personal mix versus my streamer mix. I'm a Streamer, I can easily switch from PC to Ps5, and actually control my PS5 with my mixer. I'm using the free version, there is a paid version that will unlock a ton of stuff. Once again I'm only 2 days in, so I'm still adjusting.
@@Badboygamingfordads it just seems to be missing a lot of the big features of the big GoXLR. Things like the routing table, record samples on the fly and adjusting them, and stream deck integration. It does look good though 😊
GoXLR does have the ability for submixes also, just have to install the drivers for them 😊
@@haies09 yeah the routing table is gone. I don't like hearing myself. It's an upgrade for me since I had the mini. Might not be an upgrade for you since you have the bigger version. However, eventually and we don't know when, but the go xlr will stop receiving updates. It might still work and might not. I'm selling my mini, and bridge cast x was my choice.
Are you able to still play games at 1080p 120hz and have it capture 1080p 60hz. I’ve been having issues with obs not detecting my console at 1080p 120hz. I have been trying to contact customer support for over a week and they haven’t responded yet.
Did you change the settings in Bridge cast x app to 4k. If I'm being honest I had the Elgato Hd60s so I was at 60hz I believe anyway. I have an email from someone at Roland who's very responsive if you need it?
@@VellzHeart here's the connection from Roland email him... Stephen.Gibb@roland.com
@@Badboygamingfordads I did try to change the bridge cast x app settings. Every time I hit the usb out button it would switch from display thru and merged to default. The customer support did get back with me on April 4th saying that they would try to find a splitter to recommend because the bridge cast x would not send information to obs unless usb out button was pressed and the max fps it supported was 60hz. And they just got back with me on April 11th saying that they didn't find a splitter to recommend.
@@VellzHeart I would recommend on returning it. I think its a nice idea that they had but its to early in development for it.
@@reettese this is the link I used. I need to check to see if my game is at 60 or 12hz.

There is a low frequency interference in the video. It literally hurt my ears when I tried watching the video. But, I just got my Roland Bridge Cast X and I wanted to watch your video to get some insight on setting it up. But, the low frequency interference was just unbearable. I’ll still give the video a thumbs up though to help the channel.
Thanks I'm still tweaking everything
You’re welcome. I’m sure you just got yours as well and made the video using it. Since the video was uploaded 5 days ago. I’d figure I’d let you know about the low frequency sound. It’s one of those frequencies that not everybody can hear but, I heard it and my wife heard it when I watch the video. I had to pause the video and play it to see if it was the video, and after doing that it was in fact in the video. The instructions though aren’t very user friendly lol. I do wish the manual could be downloaded instead of having to rely on going to the website constantly.
@@Mind_Blown_Gaming I don't know how to change low frequency 🤣 I believe everything sounds fine now. Still working on it
@@Badboygamingfordadsits called noise floor, lowering the db gain will lower the noise floor
@@highoffandersthanks ❤ I'm still working on things. As of right now it sounds better.
