Hey I just wanted to get back to you on the low latency monitoring. I think from what I saw in the video you are listening to the wrong monitor track in the software. The one with the headphone symbol next to the stream mix has latency and should not be used for monitoring in general. Only to listen back to your VSTs maybe. Just mute that track. The low latency monitoring comes from slinding the "Mic/PC Mix" fader in the mic setup settings further to the left. Currently it is all the way to the right for you so you get no monitoring. I have mine on 10% mic and 90% PC to get some slight monitoring in my headphones. And this is with zero latency.
Thank you for your response and tips. I tested it out to see if that is the problem. It is and it isn't. This shows how buggy or unintuitive the settings in Wave Link app are. When I mute the monitoring track and set the Mic Mix to 100% Mic, I can hear the mic with zero latency, but I can no longer hear any audio from my computer. This means if I were recording on Riverside, I wouldn't be able to hear my guest, forcing to choose between hearing them or myself. If I set it to 50% Mic/50% PC Mix 50%, I don't hear the mic with the Monitor Mix muted. If I unmute it, I get the latency. This still makes it unusable since my choices are: • monitor myself with zero latency, but unable to hear any audio from my computer • hear audio from my computer, but not be able to monitor myself • hear audio from my computer and monitor myself with latency The option I need is to be able to monitor myself with zero latency and hear audio from my computer. For now, I'll have to chalk this up to it being Beta software. The day they sent me the beta software, I followed up with tech support about the latency and loopback not working and have yet to hear back from them. Hopefully the software is working flawlessly on PCs, but it definitely doesn't seem to be on Macs.
@@jesse.mccune You’re welcome. That does seem very frustrating. I am on Windows and like I said even at 10% mic I can hear myself. So for you to not hear your own voice when it’s set to 50/50 is very strange and should definitely not be the case. Do you have the „Output Volume“ set to 100% or „0 dB“ how it’s labeled in the software? It should be all the way to the right and then you control the volume with the specific tracks for system, music etc.. Maybe that’s why it’s too quiet for you. It took me a while to understand this part too. But if it in fact is a bug then I guess there is not much you can do…
@silasxewers I appreciate the guidance. I set my volume like I do on any other device. I start it at its lowest setting and raise it until it's at a comfortable level. This ensures I'm not listening at too high of a volume. If that is how Elgato has designed it to work, this isn't a good approach. The output volume should work as a master volume with the volume sliders for each app working to mix the relative levels to each other. I guess I will have to continue to wait for some sort of official Wave Link software update for Macs. We're over a week out from release and still don't have functional software yet.
@@jesse.mccune Yeah that’s exactly what confused me too. No point in having that slider if you have to have it at 100% for it to be working properly. Oh well. Glad I could help :) Hope they push out an update soon.
It's frustrating that they release this without software for Macs ready. I'm not comfortable sharing the beta, but contact them about the issue and they should send you the beta software. help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
The tech specs look the same, so I would be surprised if it doesn’t support 250 ohm headphones. Unfortunately, I don’t have any high impedance headphones to test it with.
I enjoyed your take on the software itself. Some critiques that might make your videos a little better in the future. There are some people like myself are looking to ditch their GoXLR Audio interfaces. Maybe in the future have real time video footage comparing the size to something like a banana so we can kind of get how big it is. A critique on audio, you were getting a lot of sibilance. It was almost to the point of distraction. Just some well meaning critiques.
Thank you for the feedback. The dimensions are 5.5 x 5.4 x 4.3 inches. In terms of sibilance, I have a lot of it. I wish things were different. If you think this is tough to listen to, you should listen to the unprocessed audio. I've de-essed as heavily as I could without causing other problems. I just made a couple videos with a different mic, so my mic positioning might have changed slightly too, causing it to pick up a bit more than normal. I'm curious to know what you're using to listen to this with? Headphones or speakers? What make and model? I've found that my sibilance tends to live in the frequency range that many headphones tend to boost. Again, thanks for the feedback. It's always welcome.
@@jesse.mccune hi, as for me, I'm using some Logitech speakers and it sounds kinda muffled, like the lower frequencies are so boosted they shadow the rest of the sound
@jorgefnx Thanks for taking the time to provide this to me. The only EQ I use is a bit of a cut in the 700 and another at 3.1k. No boosting is being done. It sounds like the speakers probably have a smile curved EQ, which would explain what you're describing since that would boost the lows and highs, while cutting the mids. This is fairly common with speakers like this. And since I have pronounced sibilance, the speakers would make it even more apparent. Unfortunately, De-essing can only take the edge off sibilance, it can't completely remove it. I do apologize that it was a distraction. What are you looking for in an interface?
