    I valued having the built in sound pad a little more than submixing so what I ended up picking up recently just with how approachable the cost was compared to the GoXLR was the Zoom Podtrak P4. Also being a podcaster, I can also enjoy having the built in recording functionality on top of 4 XLR ports each with phantom power and the ability to link my phone as an input and output as a USB interface.

      I bought the Rodecaster Duo to replace my GOXLR and it's a beautiful little machine the sound quality is noticeably better than the GOXLR, I know it's a subjective statement. However I did return the Rodecaster Duo and went back to the GOXLR for one simple reason, the Rodecaster can't do submixes and that was deal breaker for me. Rumour on the street is that will be fixed in the very near future with a patch according to the Rode Software development map.

If you set it and don't mess with it, its fine. However it had a great tendency to seemingly revert settings which is frustrating.

    Picked up a Rodecaster Duo and it is not a replacement for the GoXLR. The sliders/faders are assigned to a USB input. Which means you can't control your game, system, music, voice chat, mic volume, individually. The only workaround I was able to find is to connect a second usb-c from PC to Rodecaster Duo and assign my music to that input. So my music was controlled by that fader, and everything else was controlled by the other fader. Ulltimately I ended up returning the Rodecaster Duo because it just missed the mark.

    I had to install a VST to downmix the microphone to mono because for reasons I cannot comprehend it was transmitting left channel only (despite being toggled to mono in Universal Control), and also that the Stream Deck+ has this annoying bug where any input on the touch screen repeats itself after the first one. e.g.: I tap to mute the Browser (works), then tap to mute Game (unmutes Browser, does nothing to Game), tap to mute Game again (now Game and Browser are both muted), and so on, so forth. I don't dare swipe to change pages because touching anything on the new page repeats the swipe function to take me to the previous page.
    There's also having to mute the monitor mix from the mic in Wave Link because of the bad delay compared to just listening through the mic itself (which is where my headphones pass through, rather than the PC).

    I originally regretted selling off my GoXLR but, that was back in early December and money was a far more pressing matter for me at the time. I always favored the Wave XLR over the GoXLR due to its control via Wave Link. I drooled over the release of the Stream Deck +, and was hoping to get it someday. After finally getting it, I can now no longer go back to the GoXLR even if I wanted to have it. The level of control the SD+ gives me now is just too good.
    I'm hoping the volunteer GoXLR team tries to implement a lot of what customers have been asking for, but now that official support is done I think it's going to be highly unlikely that I'll ever pick this up again.

    I might be a little bit bias here, as I helped getting the opensource GoXLR Utility working on Windows (yes, the windows version is the port from the Linux one).
    I would say, use the stable firmware, it should be possible to flash back if your on the beta. I don't think the firmware will be opensource, and there is some encryption when flashing, making it hard to reverse engineer without support from tc-helicon.
    For the opensource GoXLR Utility, the device has never been more alive. Everything is controlled through an API, that means that everything you can do from the app. A plugin can also do.
    So now it's theoretical (until a plugin exists) possible to control the device from not only Stream Deck, but also OBS and similar. And you will also be able to use multiple plugins (not like the official one that was limited to just one).
    The opensource version also a lot better when it comes to accessibility, and can now be used by blind or visually impaired people.
    For the Windows version, it does require the official tc-helicon drivers (Linux and MacOS does not). And you cannot run it at the same time as you run the official GoXLR App (as the official one gets confuced and crashes).
    All in all... the device has been "dead" before, and only time will tell if this is the case for now.
    However... I understand the skepticism as there is basically just one developer on the opensource version at this point. I would suggest all that starts using the free opensource version to consider sponsor the developer (I do monthly), but that's not a requirement.

    All I'd love is an XLR interface with the ability to run custom VST plugins on the device. I know that would require additional hardware because they wouldn't be able to run on the DSP as most of the time that's quite specialized hardware, but just adding in what is effectively a microcomputer with just the capabilities of running VST plugins, even if limited to just a couple and under a certain size, would be very nice. It's often necessary to still add further effects to a voice other than just the typical noise gate, EQ and compression provided on most DSPs. Not that running a couple VST's cause that much work for the PC, but it's not completely negligible if you're already close to bottlenecked.
    For the Rodecaster Pro 2, they have released the Duo recently which is 2 XLR ports instead of 4 and 4 faders instead of 6. It's $200 cheaper at 499 instead of 699, still on the high end but you still get all the features as long as 4 physical faders and 2 XLR ports are enough.
    The Avermedia Nexus is getting better with each update, I still find it lacking a bit from what I've seen.
    As for the Beacn Mix and Mix Create I agree that most of the functionality can be achieved with a Streamdeck+ if you have one, however you'd need to find a separate solution for a routing table. the Routing table in Beacn software is in my opinion the nicest to use routing table I've seen in a software yet, and hopefully other companies take note of how intuitive and easy it is to use without lacking flexibility, I just seriously, seriously wish they have just added an XLR port to it, the idea of getting it alongside another interface is a bit silly. For USB microphones it would be fine, but for XLR setups you need an XLR interface along with the Mix. Honestly I wish they'd just release a version of the Mix Create that basically just took the internals from the Beacn Mic and connected it to XLR instead of the analog signal directly from the capsule, it'd be nice to use the Beacn software and features (for example the noise removal, not noise gate, which I haven't seen really anywhere else) on any XLR microphone.

      @DreadKyller 10 місяців тому

      @@EposVox I meant on the device, not just in the processing chain. I like how interfaces with built in DSP's help to offload the processing off your device. While the Wave XLR allows you to run VSTs prior to the sound being emitted to the output, those VSTs as far as I can tell run locally, not on the device, meaning the processing takes up CPU resources. I'm just saying I'd like a device that allows you to upload VSTs to the device and have the device run a VST host that processes the audio before being sent to the PC.
      Compared to DSP which is designed to be very fast, effectively running highly optimized simple math on a stream of data with very little latency between input and output, VSTs can be quite intensive sometimes and may introduce a sizable amount of delay, so it most likely wouldn't be able to be monitored effectively without hearing the delay.

    Saw senpaigaming also use the mackie DLZ creator mixer and it seems it might be a good replacement for GO XLR and seems to have less issues than the rhodecaster pro 2 atm except its around that $700 mark so a bit more pricier. However it has a larger screen and a lot more fine tune optimization imo

    I have been using the Rodecaster Pro 2 and I am one of the ones that swear by it. LOL. I have 2 pc's and a ps5 connected to this thing and it has severely simplified my setup. Gaming console does not work properly if you connect it with a usb-c. You will have to get an audio extracter at least for the PS5 and a balance 3.5mm to 2XLR Male Stereo cable and connect it to 2XLR female ports on the RC2. Great thing is you can combine the 2 ports to 1 knob on the device through the software and is very easy to do. Great thing is you do not need a hum destroyer to get the noise out. This works very well for my 3 device setup as I do not have to switch cables or do anything extra. With all the audio features to process the sound the way I want it connected to my sub and 2 studio monitors, it is like i was in a new world that I was missing out on. LOL

    Damn...welp, I guess that's the kick in the pants I needed to move on to the Wave XLR. I stopped streaming and making content a few years ago but the GoXLR was great for my remote work and the content I create in the context of my job. However, ever since I upgraded to Win 11, the whole thing turned...clunky. The Stream Deck plugin always needs a few restarts of the GoXLR app to kick in. Even the app itself seems to have a delay between switching profiles and them registering on the device. I've been itching to switch to a more software based solution and the Wave is perfect. RIP I guess....

    I don't know how people are using the Rodecaster as a GoXLR replacement without some major compromises. Only 3 USB audio devices (and you have to use up TWO ports on your PC). Whereas with GoXLR, you had 5 USB audio devices. The upgrade path just isn't there if you want to keep it similar to your GoXLR setup.
