    A solid device worth the pricetag!
    5 Stars
    A solid device worth the pricetag!
    I've been using this mixer for about a week now. There's a lot of good things (and a few oddities) I'd like to go over. Let's go over it all! [Note: I use a one-PC setup to broadcast all sorts of different things and it works just fine for that configuration. It doesn't seem overly complicated to use this for a 2-PC setup, but I don't have any direct input on that.]AMPLIFICATION: My primary concern when buying this was "Can this make my microphone audible? Will there be any noise?" I use a Rode Procaster, a very quiet dynamic mic that requires some help to be audible. In the past, cheaper mixers have let me down. I'm happy to report that this wasn't an issue at all with the GoXLR; I come in loud and clear with some room to spare. I don't hear any noise unless I really crank it all the way up. My former setup was an affordable preamp/mixer combo and I did have some noise issues then. Both of those are in the closet now.MIXER/FADERS: The mixer side of the GoXLR, without a complicated mess of cables, lets you independently fade music, game, system, mic and other channels. That's a new function for me. I've have had to use virtual audio cables in the past, because trying to physically separate those channels in the manner I required was not realistic on a physical mixer. This mixer simplified the routing and gave me a higher level of control over all of these volume levels. The mute buttons can be configured to do special things too rather than just globally mute; You can set it to only mute your mic in discord, or on stream. There's only the 4 faders on the GoXLR, so If you need more than 4, you'll have to work around the limitation. There have been a few hiccups too. For example, one reboot didn't open the software correctly and my system channel was muted until I reopened the software.VOICE EFFECTS: The effects are the largest section on the mixer, so they're obviously a huge selling point. I feel like this is where my priorities shifted a bit. Most of the effects on the GoXLR are things I've seen and used before. I like voice effects alright, but I won't be adjusting them on the fly ever, and that's the purpose of most of these knobs. I'm just going to design 6 presets, maybe adjust the reverb sometimes and go. You have more fine-tuned control in the software which you then save to a preset button anyway, so having knobs for things like Gender and Pitch feels like a wasted opportunity for other controls. There are some basic things missing on the device and it aggravates me a bit that the focus was placed here instead (Headphone volume has to be on a fader too? Mic playback volume knob?? Power switch???) The effects controls that I've seen often on other mixers seem like a more effective way to save on space, though a bit clunkier... (Choose a number for the effect, set the power of the effect and turn it on.)SAMPLER CREATOR/PLAYER: The sampler, on the other hand, is incredible. It works like a charm. I can record myself or my discord friends on the fly and that's something unique and powerfully fun. I actually wish this section were larger than it is because it is the most special and interesting part of the product for me! 12 Samples runs out real fast when you have lots of sound clips and new recordings being made! The software lets you randomize sound effects on buttons and create playlists of a sort. I love the features, and will probably design multiple profiles to help organize my sound bank.CUSTOMIZATION: The lighting is great. You don't have a ton of colors on it, but you can easily make a rainbow like in my attached image. Lots of interesting settings you can do to the fader volume bars and effects knobs. You can have gradients for volume or solid, lights above and below the level can all be colored on everything. The fader can be set to a monitor or just a solid bar on each source. You can also set the icons and text above each fader, and color those too! For added flare worth mentioning, the mechanized faders roll up and down when you hit mute or switch profiles. They sync up with the software and one will control the other. It's a real neat visual.PROS:+The built-in Pre-amp, compressor, de-esser, and equalization options are solid. This stuff alone makes the device worth around the price to me honestly, being that its all-in-one. I feel like this should be your biggest concern with an audio device, and everything else is fluff... The hardware is good and will do the job you need it to do! You probably won't need your old pre-amp any more.+Hoo boy, that sampler!!!+Has the means to solve digital mixing problems, which is often a complicated task to solve.+Effects are fairly configurable and come with enough presets to satisfy most people.+The mute buttons are configurable and easily accessible.+Nice, large cough button that does the job well. The BLEEP button is fun, though I try not to over-use it myself!+Configurable lightshow. Very attractive to look at. Easy to set up and profile the color schemes. The customization really makes it feel like a modern device.+Everything feels nice. I like the feel of the buttons and the faders.+In general, it's very easy to see what's on and off, and you can configure it to be even easier if you're concerned about that. You can set the on/off lights to anything you want, dimmed or off.+Size. It's not tiny, but it is almost half the size of my old mixer and I'm real happy about that. I'm also happy that I use just about everything on the mixer, for a change.CONS:-You only have one port for a mic. If you want a second mic, you're going to need... another mixer to plug into this mixer.-Only 4 faders. The software lets you control the volume of many more than 4 devices. You'll have to pick and choose what's important for you to fade and set the rest in software.-No headphone volume control knob means you'll either control your headphone volume elsewhere, or set it to a fader. Seems like an odd thing to skip out on.-No volume control for mic playback at all, even in the software. Again, this seems an odd thing to skip out on. There IS a way to shut off the mic playback in the software.-No power button anywhere? I enjoy the lights when I'm awake, but not when it's bedtime! So I find myself unplugging the device when I'm done for the day. But I make sure my computer is off too before I do that, or it causes hiccups. I hear they are implementing a sleep mode of some kind in the future, but it isn't here at the time of this review.-Because so much of the functionality is software-driven, it's likely to cause headaches down the road. As I said earlier, I've already encountered times where my system volume just isn't on at all, and I had to mess with rebooting the software to fix it.Ultimately, what we have here is a great mixer that will consolidate all your devices into one. The mixers I've had before have been enormous 12-channel beasts with me only using 10% of the board, for less control than this device provides... I use nearly everything on here, and I come out sounding great. I gotta give it an ace rating for that, even if I do think they could improve on it. I do think it is missing a few minor things, and I'm working around those. For example, I'm using my keyboard's volume control to control my headphone volume. I'm really happy that I stumbled upon this product, because there really isn't anything out there like it, and for this price.

    +Everything feels nice. I like the feel of the buttons and the faders.
    +In general, it's very easy to see what's on and off, and you can configure it to be even easier if you're concerned about that. You can set the on/off lights to anything you want, dimmed or off.
    +Size. It's not tiny, but it is almost half the size of my old mixer and I'm real happy about that. I'm also happy that I use just about everything on the mixer, for a change.

    CONS:
    -You only have one port for a mic. If you want a second mic, you're going to need... another mixer to plug into this mixer.
    -Only 4 faders. The software lets you control the volume of many more than 4 devices. You'll have to pick and choose what's important for you to fade and set the rest in software.
    -No headphone volume control knob means you'll either control your headphone volume elsewhere, or set it to a fader. Seems like an odd thing to skip out on.
    -No volume control for mic playback at all, even in the software. Again, this seems an odd thing to skip out on. There IS a way to shut off the mic playback in the software.
    -No power button anywhere? I enjoy the lights when I'm awake, but not when it's bedtime! So I find myself unplugging the device when I'm done for the day. But I make sure my computer is off too before I do that, or it causes hiccups. I hear they are implementing a sleep mode of some kind in the future, but it isn't here at the time of this review.
    -Because so much of the functionality is software-driven, it's likely to cause headaches down the road. As I said earlier, I've already encountered times where my system volume just isn't on at all, and I had to mess with rebooting the software to fix it.

    Ultimately, what we have here is a great mixer that will consolidate all your devices into one. The mixers I've had before have been enormous 12-channel beasts with me only using 10% of the board, for less control than this device provides... I use nearly everything on here, and I come out sounding great. I gotta give it an ace rating for that, even if I do think they could improve on it. I do think it is missing a few minor things, and I'm working around those. For example, I'm using my keyboard's volume control to control my headphone volume. I'm really happy that I stumbled upon this product, because there really isn't anything out there like it, and for this price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Useful Streaming Mixer
    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019
    I've been streaming on Twitch for a little over 1 year. Up until now I've been using a condenser mic with a basic XLR interface connected to my single-PC setup, and it's served me well. Around the time GoXLR was announced I had been putting together a wishlist of audio gear purchases, include a multi-channel mixer and voice changer, like many of my streamer friends recommended. I was looking for a way to gain more discreet (read: physical) control over my audio sources and inputs, as well as boost the quality of my audio chain with more powerful EQ, compression, gate, etc. (previously had used filters in OBS). Budget of dollars and desk space were limited.

    The GoXLR has answered ALL of those needs and exceeded my expectations in many other ways.

    Not only did it allow me to upgrade to a dynamic mic (the gain-hungry Shure SM7B) to help mitigate my untreated room reflections and background noise, but it has been an incredible upgrade to the control I have over my streams audio. I believe they say it has over 70db of gain in the preamps, which sound amazing and have very little noise (even when set to the 57db of gain I use for the SM7B).

    This mixer is supposed to be optimized for a streaming setup, and it shows in the specific features they included, as well as the arrangement of what is physical vs what is software controlled. You can fine-tune to your heart's content, but will always have the most important settings close-at-hand with a fader, knob, or button. It's really that simple. (insert "even a caveman can do it" meme here)

    With a single XLR input, this really is a mixer that gives up some advanced features in favor of allowing a single user to gain basic access to things many consider "extra" like voice changing and sampling along with the mixer. You'd have to spend well over $1000 to get all of these features in a collection of other devices, and not all of them will play well together, or even come close to fitting in the footprint the GoXLR (fits next to my streamdeck behind my keyboard).

    So will an advanced audio engineer find the device worthwhile? Probably not. Podcasts and multi-person streams will find other devices more appropriate for multi-track recording (currently not possible on the GoXLR) and more expandable. But for a streamer looking for that next step beyond the "basic" standard steup and more control over audio, I can't imagine a better tool. I also have trouble imagining ever needing to graduate beyond it, as it will work even with a 2-PC stream rig extremely well, as evidenced by the plethora who use it that way.

    The voice changer is great, lots of store-able presets and fine-tuning. The sampler is amazingly powerful and was totally unexpected - being able to sample any source coming through the mixer at a single touch is so useful and fun. You can be a radio DJ with prepped sounds or even grab them live - it's so easy!

    Setup was a breeze - 5min to get rolling, hours of fun messing with all the features making voices and samples. I have very little background in audio production so I needed to look up one or two things in the TC Helicon YouTube tutorials to get it set how I liked in the mic chain (compressor/gate settings). Software seems like it will continue to improve as they patch it and add more features, tooltips, and fix minor bugs (which are few).

    The TC Helicon staff on their Twitter and Discord are amazingly helpful, as is the community of users. Any technical difficulties (there can be many different ones with audio setups in Windows) are quick to be addressed, but I've not had any major ones. As they develop more materials around the product I imagine the initial user experience will get even better, as it should. Right now someone with zero audio experience may need some help, but the resources are there if you look for them.

    One final note: Do yourself a favor and install EarTrumpet to help keep Windows from messing with your source routing - this is great even if you don't use the GoXLR, but it's the perfect companion to their app.

    All-in-all, a great tool at a great price with tons of features and controls. Good software with tons of potential for further improvement. The ideal "next step" from basic XLR interfaces to total stream audio control!
