Unless its being used for fine tuning audio, endless scroll knobs are generally better than sliders because they're not stuck in a single position, enabling them to switch effortlessly to control other functions.
I got my plus today and just started to work with it. I am using it alongside my XL at the same time and that expands the capabilities even more. Love it ❤❤❤
@kingxraekool1857 if you have connected your mic to the Wave XLR then it should appear in the Wave Link software as your microphone, if it doesn't, definitely check out the Elgato website to help troubleshoot why it isn't showing 👍
Wave Link is the audio mixing software, this Stream Deck gives you access to Wave Link and allows you to control it better than any of the previous Stream Decks
@@Streamsight I meant to say the Wave XLR. I’m building my first dual PC setup and didn’t know if this would work as an audio mixer for my setup like the Wave XLR does? Just want to make sure I have everything I need for audio to work properly for stream
@@jamestaylor954 to be fair, I just bought this a couple days ago and while the 10 pages is good but it would be really nice to have more buttons on 1 page at a time. 8 is a decent amount but more is always better.
Nice, will dive into it, thanks a ton for sharing, @streamsight !!! Quick one: Is the Wave XLR's Proprietary Clipguard Tech & Studio Grade Preamp also included with Stream Deck +?
I love my pc panel pro combined with stream deck, love the sliders on pc panel pro, also have the streamdeck plus and really need to take the time, I only wish the knobs had rgb
If it's your first we'd definitely suggest getting the plus, since on top of all, its awesome features, it also gives you the wave link software for free 👍
What would be awesome for this to be able to control the xl with the + I have different scenes and sfx or controls I need which if I click a button on the + it can open the 32 keys on the xl
I have a vocaster two for podcast and light gaming/streaming with 2 sm57. with my actual setup, can i use this new deck plus (by plug and play ) or do i need to get the elgato's audio interface wave xlr to use the elgato software ??
You Aussie's are freakin' awesome - can't get over how many of the most useful vids i find on youtube are from aussie content creators - i guess this could be the one positive thing that your authoritarian lockdown government has Fostered (i shoe horned that in here)... from subies to r/c to hardware unboxed to now you - i'm quite grateful - by far this concise but detailed breakdown answered so many of my questions and concerns about this device and allowed me to compare it to the Loupedeck Live (or S) - totally sold me on this - I was highly concerned about being restricted to just 8 shortcut buttons - none of the other vids i saw explained how you can easily switch between an expanded set of options - plus your explanation of their audio software - SOLD - thanks, - btw i really appreciated your delivery (energy) of the content as well...
Hey there! Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video, we hope to have more for you soon! Also, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Bob isn't Aussie, although he did live there for a bit (he won't stop talking about it) 😂
wavelink & streamdeck software don’t communicate correctly with each other on macOS… while wavelink seems to behave right, the knobs on the streamdeck plus lost connection to wavelink… hopefully they fix this since it’s very annoying My guess is that elgato mainly focus on windows users
Sorry for the late response! I believe you can do this yes, we tend to use the Wave Link sources but no reason why OBS audio sources couldn't work afaik
Are there any generic addons that we can better control the dials? I want the dials to be able to cycle through "Keys" and let me press to activate. Rather than only using the keys on the buttons So if I have 5 Smart Macros and want them to be able to scroll through them in one dial . Rather than making 5 keys on the buttons. Any help would be great! The stacks are limited
Yes, it is nice but to use it , I need to stop looking at the camera. This is a problem when I livestream, as I need to look at the camera to connect with my audience.
Or... go the cheaper, and more configurable rout, and get a $70 raspberry pi, and a $100 10" touch screen, and build your own using one of the many opensource projects out there.
even if the stream deck + is a very enjoyable device and part of the pleasure is pairing it with another stream deck, the device is still very young and lacks functionalities. the rotary dials can't do much yet. I can't wait to get more out of that great little box!😃
I struggle to fill up the 8 keys up too 😂. I have like 3 filled and struggle to find something to put in the others
How many pages are available when you swap? Is there a limit?
10 Pages

I use mine to keep my chip bag in place, works great.
I’m so glad you’ve done this video. I just got a + myself
Would this be good to use for podcasting? Looking to start a podcast soon
Can the rotaries do different things by swiping the LED strip ?
So effectively, they have unlimited functionality.... ?
That is EXACTLY correct and they can change functions when you press them too, it's amazing honestly
I got my plus today and just started to work with it. I am using it alongside my XL at the same time and that expands the capabilities even more. Love it ❤❤❤
That's exactly how I use mine! - Bob
3:52 just asking does this mean i can use any mic or just the elgato wave mic?
I'm liking this one for sure. Right now I have the stream deck mini and love it
We're glad you're liking it! 💜
@kingxraekool1857 hi there! How do you mean connect a mic to the Stream Deck? Do you mean the Wave Link software?
@kingxraekool1857 if you have connected your mic to the Wave XLR then it should appear in the Wave Link software as your microphone, if it doesn't, definitely check out the Elgato website to help troubleshoot why it isn't showing 👍
all combined? so... it's pedal too, right?
I can’t get rid of my GoXLR, so my question is can you use Wave Link with the GoXLR?
So is this an audio mixer as well like the wavelink?
Wave Link is the audio mixing software, this Stream Deck gives you access to Wave Link and allows you to control it better than any of the previous Stream Decks

For clarification I don’t use an XLR mic either
Can the sound settings be used with a hyperx quad cast
once they come out with the xl version of this imma buy it
Don’t need XL you get 10 pages
@@jamestaylor954 to be fair, I just bought this a couple days ago and while the 10 pages is good but it would be really nice to have more buttons on 1 page at a time. 8 is a decent amount but more is always better.
I'd like to see a comparison between this and a loupedeck and razor controller bc they all look similar and are all around the same price.
So it only zooms in elgatos face cam pro?
Nice, will dive into it, thanks a ton for sharing, @streamsight !!!
Quick one: Is the Wave XLR's Proprietary Clipguard Tech & Studio Grade Preamp also included with Stream Deck +?
Still stupidly overpriced for what it is, 200 bucks is one hell of a markup for what is effectively just a LCD a cheap ARM MCU and four potentiometer.

Looking to get my first elgato should I get the plus or mk2

Same day reply deserves a sub also great content. Road to 1k🎉

Pretty sure you can do this with Profiles 👍
@@Streamsight thanks. I’ll have to test it when it comes in
I have a vocaster two for podcast and light gaming/streaming with 2 sm57.
with my actual setup, can i use this new deck plus (by plug and play ) or do i need to get the elgato's audio interface wave xlr to use the elgato software ??

I wish there was version with xlr so I wouldn't have to get wave xlr on top and have two devices, but it's still a banger

My guess is that elgato mainly focus on windows users
I got it(first stream deck) and it is amazing! Still, there is something I need. Dial for OBS Audio Sources. When it comes it will be Perfect!
Curious if this is a think yet! I would love to be able to use it to control my individual OBS Audio Sources!
Sorry for the late response! I believe you can do this yes, we tend to use the Wave Link sources but no reason why OBS audio sources couldn't work afaik
I got the razer stream deck never knew how much a deck would help

Not that we're aware of but we can pass the information along to Elgato and let them know about this
Great video mate, Just got one of these to upgrade my youtube studio! I'm a small channel 2K subscribers
Tysm! Hope you enjoy it & wishing you all the luck with your channel! 💜 - Bob
Loupdeck Kills it!!!!
Had to give a thumbs up, just for using the word "myriad".
This is my favourite comment on this video so far XD - Bob
"Endless dials". Those are rotary encoders, a digital device that sends a pulse/click as it is turned and pushed.
They need to start making Software for Linux compatibility.

can it be laid flat or it needs to be on the stand?
As far as we can tell it needs to be on the stand
support kdenlive ?

the rotary dials can't do much yet.
I can't wait to get more out of that great little box!😃
I think i want one but the screaming at me for 7 minutes makes me think this whole thing is just an ad.
Screaming?
Dude ease up on the caffeine. Chill
That’s meth, espresso ain’t that strong.
I wonder how this would help with garage band or logic audio pro with vst's
Yes... also curious about this
If you could use the touch strip as single long fader controller for the DAW track in focus that would be useful…!
