Gonna have to redo this whole freaking video when the Beacn Create is finally launched. That thing looks dope. Which device is your favorite?

@ebonyempirellc4390 2 года назад

So no Nexus update? Because I think I'm going to love it.

@TearlessGosling 2 года назад

Motu M2/M4 lineup are easily my favorite for audio interfaces. You should give them a look, definitely a better interface than the scarlett.

@RodiBroGamer 2 года назад

Have to say goxlr! As a musician too faders nobs are so crucial for me. Love my goxlr just got it couple days ago. Was using Voicemeeter Potato and still do when i take my laptop to my work to connect to another pc but the functionality of the goxlr and the software is amazing. Thanks Harris for another amazing video!

@breakingkaeto2065 2 года назад

Have you heard of the Presonus Revelator IO24 ? It looks promising on paper!

@andrews.9286 2 года назад

I would go with the GoXLR, no pun intended. It is $220 at Sweetwater and I think it provides a better value than the WaveXLR. The WaveXLR appears to be a stripped down Audient Evo with wave software. To me it is overpriced for what it offers. I would think $149 would be a more fair price and if it had the better inputs.

I love the Elgato XLR, you mentioned you gotta use the mouse, or buttons to control the sliders. I found a neat little work around. I use my old tablet as a third monitor/usb monitor on my pc. So I just project the Wave Software interface to my tablet and turned it into a touch screen GOXLR basically. so I just slide the sliders via touch screen instead of having to tab out to tweek settings. its nice.

@lachlanbell8390 Год назад

That's a brilliant idea, never would've thought of that. I didn't realise you could use a tablet as an extra monitor/extended desktop, is that easy to do? Doesn't have to be a windows tablet does it?

If you got a old tablet laying around, you can connect it to your pc using a displayport to usb cord and just slap the Wave XLR panel on it and use it as a touch screen fader. my old samsung tablet that was in the junk drawer is now my dedicated WaveLink interface.

@MaskedNozza 2 года назад

I would say the feature you missed was the 1/4" on the Scarlett Solo. Not a common thing for a streamer to want or need, but I was surprised and intrigued that you were including the device at all. There are people out there (even you as a musician) who might want that functionality, even though it is quite budget-level.

@DonnyDonnMendoza 2 года назад

Yamaha MG 10XU is still one of my fave devices. Because I've upgraded my audio interface recently, I just use it mainly as a monitor controller for several devices (one of which is my PC) but having the extra inputs has come in handy when the proverbial hits the fan LOL

@CinemaSteve 2 года назад

I’m not a streamer so for the Focusrite Solo is perfect for me. I have a ElectroVoice RE320 plugged into it and it sounds fantastic out of that little guy. I just needed something to get my mic into my computer for vocal recording and that did the trick. So simple!

@andrewkromholz4434 2 года назад

That’s a great combo !!

@Maddigan 2 года назад

I agree! Also appreciate how simple it is to route audio out of the Scarlett and into my studio monitors. Picked up a pair of KRK Rokit 5 Classics recently and it was as simple as plug and play.

@johnnusz8278 2 года назад

I actually bought a Focusrite Solo JUST for the ability to have my headphone volume control on my desk. The ability to use it as a mic interface when I upgrade my mic from a USB mic... is a bonus to me

@tobiasvikr472 Год назад

I have the focusrite 3 solo which i've used for a while, but this video convinced me to get the GoXLR Mini. Just more options, not too big, and a bit more gain. Gonna wait until black week and probably pick this up! Subbed and thank you :)

@SethGlenn 2 года назад

Hey Harris!! Great comparison! Though I am surprised you didn't wait to add the new Beacon products coming. However, if I had to pick a device you missed, I'd recommend the Evo 4/8 Audio Interface from Audient. They have a great form factor similar to the Wave XLR, but are between the Wave and the Solo as far as features. More I/O option than both. And cheaper than the GoXLR and even the the Evo4 is same as the Solo with better features. Thanks for the great video

Not sure how you're audio monitor is setup on the nexus i.e. is there some sort of "monitor out" jack that you can plug your headphones into? If this is the case, could the hiss you hear in your headphones and not in the recording be from a ground loop?

@RiverDragonz Год назад

@JanneAirDotCom 2 года назад

One thing would be good to mention that there's been "XLR Interfaces" for over 30 years (modern style for maybe 15-20 years) with good preamps and AD-converters so there's plenty, PLENTY to choose from especially on the used market if you're just looking for a USB interface. It's not just the Focusrite Scarlett.

@sinteredkhumar798 2 года назад

It would be really cool to see your opinion on this topic when didicated to console streaming and audio. I've really struggled to simplify my setup while providing the best experience for my viewers. The Series X for example removed the optical port so some of the older interfaces don't work. The largest issue is isolating game/team chat and my physical mic audio. I am newer as you can tell, but there has to be a easier way.

@Snaffdude 2 года назад

When I started streaming I just used my studio set up. My Rode Nt1a and Gen 1 Scarlett solo has had people asking if im using a Shure (My mic is offscreen) The fact you just plug a mic into it is perfect. I routed VST's in from my Reaper DAW and tweaked it until it sounded good in monitoring. Compression and gain made up for the shortfall in dB Would take that over getting plug and play/USB for just streaming due to being able to control every single aspect of my mic

@slaycg2536 2 года назад

For a traditional mixer I think the best option is the Yamaha AG03 but another device I was interested in is the Tascam MiniStudio. It was discontinued for a while but re-released recently.

@austinfrandsen2992 2 года назад

maybe you have talked about it and I have just missed it but have you ever looked into the rodecaster pro? my wife and I are trying to find a way to improve our audio when we are streaming together and it seemed like it may be a solid solution with the multiple mic input capabilities

@_lucidxo 2 года назад

Love ya man! I’ve been trying to decide between the GoXLR and the Elgato for starting streaming, so it was nice to see some other options too. Definitely leaning towards the GoXLR Something about having the analog hardware faders in front of me really tickles my audio engineerhood. Feels quicker too. I can hopefully do without submixes. Happy streaming!

@ScooterJackson 2 года назад

for something in the price range of a GoXLR, but with WAY more channels and physical faders for each, Tascam Model 12 or 16 is a great option. Class compliant, each input shows up in OBS so no need for extra software, & preamps sound great.

@lootwatkins8908 2 года назад

@ewhac 2 года назад

Any thoughts on the Zoom H4n? Yeah, it's a "field recorder," but it also serves as a mic pre-amp.

@fiftyshadesofurban 2 года назад

5:50 So two things here-- one statement, one question: 1. The OBS VSTs will be applied to the entirety of the stream audio, not only the microphone. 2. The Wave XLR has clip guard and various low and high pass filters so do we really need a compressor?

@sitrix7203 2 года назад

Hey Ron apollo is not sreamer friendly since its a dedicated interface for recording raw audio. I strongly not recomend high end stuff unless you know your stuff. If you're just starting out buy the focusrite solo it's hands down the best buget mic for your buck anything that say's its gonna change your mic is just a bunch off bloat, unless you know how to eq you're not gonna need it. Im saving you the burden of buying such expensive toys. Hope this was helpful in anyway. The best producers dont need the best gear.

@Sabborn 2 года назад

I currently use the Yamaha MG10XU and though its worked great for years I recently decided to make the switch to the Wave XLR because you can just pass the gaming PCs audio from through the Elgato 4K60 Pro Mk2 into OBS so there is no need for a GO XLR for the dual PC setup. Only reason I could see getting one for is if you want extra control or to be able to talk to people on your gaming PC but 99% of the time I'm in Discord with my friends or viewers on my streaming PC where all of this is hooked up anyways. I definitely think that Elgato should come out with a full on direct competitor to the GoXLR or Beacn with the extra I/O and functionality. Call it the Wave Mixer for let's say $350. It would be sold out instantly.

@fiftyshadesofurban 2 года назад

11:29 So the other thing here that is a dealbreaker for the GoXLR mini for me is that digital knobs that turn forever in both directions work regardless of whether their values change either in the software, or if say your cat walks on the keyboard and changes the value (of a GoXLR fader), and since GoXLR mini faders aren't motorized then you have a discrepancy between the physical fader and its value on the digital side. That to me is a deal breaker and it's something you don't have to deal with, with knobs like the Avermedia option has.
