i'm not sure sorry
Shoot, okay. I want to ping an admin and ask them but I don't want to bother them lol
Cuz yeah I want to run a single ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor at 144hz
yeah i'm sure they will answer you shortly
Not sure what is happening, but on the website it says Project Wave landing in 00:00:35:00 but in the email we got it says in 00:02:30:00
Ultrawide wonβt work at 144hz. Source is my having one
probably time szone issues @fiery plank
Oo yeah that could definitely be it. Just excited what there will released!
10 minutes? π
I can already see it
yep
im in Switzerland and i can't see them atm
I've an audio section on top
imma go vpn
dont wanna spoil the announcement here
but if you look around in "various places", you'll find it π
Itβs a USB mic making a lot of promises.
ordered π
But is it in stock for you?
preorder
i hope the website updates soon. i need a better look at the accessories. might order them as well
I can see them as well
on the italian site there is only the shockmount for the mic π
there is a pop filter and some rods as well
also ordered them but with shock and pop filter now looking for a good arm. Hoped they would include one as well
π its usb-c! thanks elgato π
They have an arm thing already
it comes with a small desk stand
you can get the multi mount + flex if you want an arm
Multi mount is not that great for mics right?
Oo maybe that would be an option
But I can't see the old products only the new once haha
desktop site is still down
there is another site that shows everything π
Yeah indeed
i really want to see the adaptation of the mic with streamdeck
So my concern atm is this. Do you need a USB C port on your motherboard for this to work or will USB 3.0 to C work just fine?
Also trying to visualize how this will work for a two PC setup. I imagine I'd need to have it go into my main PC and get that audio mix from the software to the second PC
pretty sure you wont need usb-c on your board
Can't even buy in Canada, fail lol
same as stream deck xl
In Switzerland its possible imma receive it tomorrow 
the device is type-c. but the cable end is usb-a
here in germany it says sometime in june
it looks pretty sick, can we buy the wave yet?
look there
you spoiled it π¦
Is on Every platform now
I also like how the shock mount is already out of stock before the website is even completely live lol
when will we be able to buy it in the UK?
In the netherlands the sticks are only on amazon and it states to have a release date of 1 july
I don't see any info for Canada at all.
it's on amazon uk
Guess I'll have some reviews to look at if I have to wait
release june 24th
you can already download the software
just downloaded
@crisp cloak it requires usb 2.0 on your mainboard. i checked
the pop filter and shock mount are all on amazon uk
can you use the software with just anything?
is there an elgato mic arm too?
no
there is, its called elgato multi mount
yes for the mic only no
- and flex
ah kk, so that works with the mic?
yes it's universal
why shouldn't it?
ok nice thanks, nah i was just wondering wether to get something like that or the blue compass
off topic: on some photos, they use an arm, which is not an elgato multi mount
Yeah the multi mount is not very nice for a mic I think because it's quite static
even with the addition of the flex
exactly
yeah
yeah
i thought they just roll with it π
i have an old ikea lamp with a flexible arm
pretty sure i can print an adapter that works with my multi mount
lol nice, i have thhe blue yeti just on it's stand atm
oh the website is back on
do you think it's worth the upgrade to the wave from the yeti?
Would a product request belong to #feature-request ?
I got a product request related to the Wave 1
@zealous mica yes it was already 10 min ago
it's made to be easy to use and i think it's for tht reason that it has not an XLR port
does anyone know, if I can use the pop filter and the shock mount at the same time?
you can yeah
The biggest bummer on my end is the lack of additional sources. I can't have a second PC plugged into it or a console
which one of the two version you would be more likely to buy?
I think, that's just a limitation of USB
I ordered the wave:3 to have a bit more control on the mic itself
yeah what's the main difference between the 2?
What's the price diff?
not a lot
30 $
i would say the wave:3 tbh
I'm only π-ing the 3 because of higher sample rate
honestly i thought the mic would cost 400
yeah same
so i dont mind the 170 π
I don't need onboard controls, but then again, I'd prefer an XLR model
not having XLR made it easier for me to justify the purchase π
as soon as i get the package, i can use it right away on my mac and pc
Can the wave be hooked to their multi arm?
if they had both, i wouldnt mind of course π
what even is sample rate? lol
It's the rate the mic samples audio
ah kk
Higher sample rate = higher fidelity
ok thanks
@zealous mica I'm talking about a specific model, just for XLR
Call it Pro or whatever
do you think it is worth upgrading to from the blue yeti?
i dunno which model do you have?
@zealous mica any idea on when from amazon.de it is available. it just says out of stock not preorder or a date somewhere...
no idea tbh i ordered it from alternate
they say it might arrive tomorrow or the day after
Are you going to do a review?
i have nothing to compare to π
Yes on my channel but in Italian
Are you going to do a review?
@shadow sky
i dont even stream π
yeah it is bastian
yeah basically π
when i join business video chats, i cringe when i hear the sound from my co-workers who use dell notebooks
and see their rubbish picture quality
can you use wave link with any mic?
With mount
edit: posted "fakenews" (gone now)
Thanks to Elgato for sending me this mic for review.

sounds pretty nice based off this guy
oh nice thanks, i'll watch it now π
Damn I thought the software would work with other mics
Sad it doesn't
ah rip
I just wanted to check how it works etc. Maybe then I could convince my friend who needs new mic to buy Wave
but he is dumb when it comes to softwares and I wanted to get to know it a little bit so I could help later
RIP
that video is super helpful
Okay pretty sure after watching the video this mic is not good for people running a two PC setup.
a bit sad when he said "boxy sound"
compromises, this thing is all about compromises. Meant for people that want plug and play.
yeah sure, i mean i paid less than 200 bucks π
i still don't know wether to get it or not lol it seems good but would love a comparison to the blue yeti
i thought of getting the shure SM7B, but i don't any more cables and devices on my desk ... π
thinking I'll just keep my GO XLR order active. Should get it next month
the shure sm7b isn't cheap either lol
yeah
I really don't like that he didn't use his other mics to compare
yeah
A comparison of how the Elgato Wave:3 sounds against some other devices.
Full Review: https://www.thelab.gr/reviews/input-devices-peripherals-reviews/elgato-wave3-streaming-microphone-review-r767/
the site should be up?
It's def meant for beginners when it comes to audio or people that don't particularly care so much about how they sound so long as it works
no idea what he's saying. but here's a comparison with some random "mics"
why is he comparing the wave 3 to obviously bad choices?
maybe thats all he got π
It needs to be compared to AT2020 or better
at2020, yeti and shure sm7b
you can just say "compare to a dedicated microphone"
I just wish they would have been considering multiple PC setups
I game on one PC while the other does the heavy lifting for the stream. The Wave doesn't seem suited towards that setup
can you order from alternate.de? π
the .at version doesnt have any elgato products for some reason
@crisp cloak hmm but why don't you connect the mic to the streaming pc?
With my current setup I am using the AT2020 with both the gaming PC and the streaming PC at the same time
If I go with the Wave I have two choices.
- Hook it up to my gaming rig and send the audio over to the streaming PC via audio in
- Use it on my streaming PC but then have to use two mics, one for the stream and another for the gaming PC
Corsair.com has some things in stock that show up as out of stock on elgatoβs site
https://geizhals.de/2570434854?t=alle&plz=&va=b&vl=de&hloc=at&hloc=de&v=e&togglecountry=set#offerlist no austria, germany only as of now
on alternate they say it will be delivered within the next two days
corsair: no idea π
to austria?
yeah i would order from somewhere else π

Yeah I'm just going to go with the GO XLR for future proofing reasons. Much more control over what you sound like and 2x inputs for a console and whatever else
It's about what I expected. A decent quality mic for people that want a plug and play device to get up and running. Def not meant for more complicated setups, and I'd argue for the cost of the wave 3 you'd be better off with a GO XLR + affordable XLR mic
Yeah I meant the mini
you don't need all the extra crap
That is a concern I share. I've been trying to wrap my mind around how I would get console audio into the mixer and so far the only answer I have is maybe having the console audio go into a sound card audio in / optical in so the software can see it
@crisp cloak FYI thereβs some latency in your own mic on headphones with the go xlr. Some people are fine, some people itβs really distracting .
I don't monitor my own mic anyways
According to that one review I watched you have no control over the EQ of the mic as well, that bothers me.
Neat. Currently happy with the Roland octa capture though
Not as nice if you want to change mix levels often though
I just want full control over the mic sound, multiple audio in, and the ability to send that all to a second PC. I'm not going to risk the money they want for the wave 3 for all those things not to work when the cost of a GO XLR mini is near the same
That is 239 USD right?
Not sure if it is showing me CAD or not, it likely isn't
@misty cypress no idea how fast alternate's email support is. but you can call them up
Okay so I paid $435 CAD after taxes for my GOXLR mini that is on backorder. Still rather pay that over $394 CAD for an okay quality mic + software that is limited.

Let's gooo!
heh i dont have the money to purchase such a device
pls let us use another mic with wave link pepepls
If not another mic at least the other features
does elgato have a screen recorder of its own for laptops/desktops
ok..now we have an elgqato microphone...but....WHERES THE ELGATO 4K WEBCAM! XD
installing the wave link software to see if i can use my at2020 with it kekw
you cannot
Wave Link would be sick for radio use >.<
So the wave is just a crap ton of sound cards and a mic?
i see
Good morning
also they need to add software compression options/vst chaining
so you can pass it through vsts
if it is one device output they need to add VST in wave link software
to individual channels
who would have thought that there are two waves 
They have individual audio channels for the wave
So you can have one be mic, game, music, browser, system and so on
So that new Mic.
Yes
Yes
And
YESSSSSS
Nah stores down
lol first thing I hear
"feels cheap"
And it makes a liar out of me and comes right back up
Store works for me in the US. make sure adblock is off
Yeah I could still buy it on Elgato or Amazon
If you go onto the Elgato website, click buy now and scroll down it says (our partners) or something and has an Amazon link
Wasn't for me. Said (pre order and add to basket)
Are you UK or US?
Ah that may be why it's out then for your local Amazon
The end of the video sounds like he just doesn't want to upset Elgato lol
the video is good ty
The Elgato Wave is FINALLY out and it is.. pretty incredible. But the question is.. is it better than the GoXLR?
TWITCH βΊβΊ https://twitch.tv/harrisheller
DISCORD βΊβΊ https://discord.gg/alpha...
killed the GO XLR? lol
clickbait title
It just feels like all these early reviews are people that were sent the mic by Elgato and want to stay in their good graces
yeah,i would assume they have all been sent them
What's up everyone.
help with what? lol
I'm assuming they was a review mic lol
Does the wave link and wave 3 work with duel PC? Also does obs have a plug-in for wave link or does it have to be separate
@frail moth It's not worth getting for a duel PC setup
@frail moth I'm sure you can, with using the Wave Link and their channels in separating audio.
Of course, it needs some tinkering and working around, but having it set in the end is satisfying 
(edit) Keep an eye out for Alpha Gaming's tutorial for dual pc setup with Wave Microphones π
As for the OBS/Wave Link, You can add the Wave Link Stream Mix within OBS's Mix/Auxiliary device. Its all here on this page -> https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044559532-Wave-Link-Add-Stream-Mix-to-OBS-Studio
Just watch the reviews, the majority of them mention the Wave isn't ideal for duel PC setups.
Blur yeti killer is prob a more appropriate name tbh
Anyone running a dual PC set up shouldn't be using a usb mic imo
Lol
Looks like a solid mic
yeah the wave links looks great, especially with the stream deck
^^^^^
I've gotta be honest. No offence but in my opinion, the software is better than the mic. In audio comparisons i think it sounds a bit average but the software it makes is brilliant. If you could somehow make the software purely pc based and usable without the mic, that would make it a trillion times better
I'd be willing to buy the software alone
The software really would be useful just on its own more so than a mid tier quality USB mic
i agree, i would buy just the software
I use the blue yeti and I've managed to make it sound better than some xlr mics ive seen, so sacrificing quite a bit of quality for a software
I know the reviews are saying the price is a strong point... but up here in Canada it really isn't
i have the blue yeti atm too dr.clown, idk wether it's worth me upgrading
honestly all that it comes down to for me is that ive already spent quite a bit of money for a setup, and i honestly dont think its smart for me to spend so much money to get a worse mic that I'd probably just keep plugged into the side and muted for the software for my normal mic. I'd be paying $130 for an app
fair enough
Hey - Quick note about dual PC. YEs, Wave can be used in a dual-PC configuration, and there are multiple ways of going about it. Routing the mic to both PCs at the same time or running Wave Link on the gaming PC and send the final mix to the streaming PC or running Wave link on the streaming PC. Theres lots of options here.
To the point "If you use a dual-PC setup you shouldnt use a USB mic" I ask why not? Wave has incredible sound quality. Why should someone spend $200+ for an interface and another $200+ for a mic when all of this can be achieved for less than $200. There's a misconception that USB = bad and with Wave one of our goals is to educate that USB does not immediately mean a mic is bad. With Wave, we've shown exactly that.
I run a dual-PC streaming setup and use Wave:3 for it. π
I just meant in terms of the upfront cost for an entire 2nd pc that most people would prob use am xlr mic. (I think the wave is amazing tho not saying its bad). The whole need to dual pc set up nowadays is kinda mute now imo with rtx nividia gpu and nvenc or beefy cpu like rysen 3700 3800 and 3900x
dual pc as a mostly console gamer & sometimes PC gamer...
makes swapping between console to PC gaming easy
ok awesome thanks phil π
@iron gazelle Hey, just wondering - can any of your docking stations run a curved ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor @ 144hz 1440p? Thanks!
@iron gazelle The Wave 3 + pop filter + shock mount is $400 - $450 Canadian.
GO XLR mini + AT2020 (Likely one of the best budget options for an XLR mic) + cheap boom arm w/ shock mount will be in the $500 - $600 range.
That extra $200 gets you...
A better mic
More control over the sound of said mic
Physical inputs for a console or whatever else
All the hard lifting is done by the GO XLR
There really is no value proposition for the Wave up here in Canada.
@crisp cloak Thats totally fair. I feel for you guys in Canada and the pricing. And with the setup you mentioned, those plus's for 'only' $200 is probably worth it π
So @elgatogaming announced their new Wave3 mic and what was really really interesting was their wave link software. Now, someone really needs to make a hack to make this work on all mics, because this is some stuff that sucks to be proprietary to Wave mics.
Know how much the keylight air is? $200 CAD The big one? $350 CAD. The arm stand thing? $80. Prices up here are wack for Elgato things.
that wave link software is sick but it looks like from the videos it has a gate to make sure the mics you plugin are wave mics which sucks
Yeah I downloaded it earlier just to see what would happen. It just asks you to plug in the wave
Yeah
And honestly, that's a bummer
so I might try to figure out how to make a hack so you can use it on all mics
lol
Or I might suggest it too
@crisp cloak how close are you to the border? could you order it from a US shipping based shop and pick it up from a friend? π
Why not use Voicemeeter?
With it being stuck to wave it severely limits the potential. Streamers and creators alike have always wanted different mixes for streams that they ca instantly change, but with it requiring a Wave mic, it's pretty weird. A good idea might be charge for the software if you don't have Wave haha.
Voicemeeter doesn't unfortunately work my system
@iron gazelle Can you maybe suggest your amazon.ca prices reflect that of the amazon.com? 50 USD for the multimount does not = 80 CAD
Also no VoiceMeeter on Mac.
It attempts to capture everything and doesn't also allow for that sick switch on the fly thing
mhm
I do use Mac sometimes too
also iirc no stream deck support for voicemeeter
so I can't use my deck
there is with a plugin
Oh really?
check BarRaider's server
I see. Just know we can't officially condone any sort of "hacking". There are technical reasons that Wave Link only works when a Wave Mic is connected. It actually has nothing to do with "DRM" or anything else. Its purely technical.
Yeah, understandable
cough I imagine it could be like the RTX Voice thing
At least I think if the software has deep integration in that way, instead it can be used for mixing programs and 3rd party mics are on the side and manually added into other softwares where Wave Link only mixes program audio
where it wasn't meant to be used by non-RTX cards, but it was easy enough for programmers to figure out that it infact could work on GPUs as early as the GTX-750
Can anyone answer my question from before plz?
We're making products that are useful for the community and provide a value that other products don't provide. While I can understand spending money isn't fun, we spend lots of resources on developing these products and the features.
Which is, can any of your docking stations run a curved ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor @ 144hz 1440p? Thanks!
Ill leave it at that. π
Elgato makes docking stations??
Yes
DISPLAYPORT OUTPUT
up to 4096 x 2160 pixels
THUNDERBOLTβ’ 3 OUTPUT
up to 5120 x 2880 pixels
DUAL DISPLAYS
up to 4096 x 2160 pixels each
no info about what it supports for hz
sounds like it matters on the host not the dock
@steel dew that is for the Thurderbolt 3 Dock
sounds like it based on that info above
it supports the resolution and the frame rate is based on the host
the video card in the laptop needs to be able to send out 144hz
IE laptop is the host
I don't believe any of the staff here are specialized in the technical of the Thunderbolt products. I'd suggest emailing our team http://e.lga.to/help and someone from Tier 3 could provide an accurate answer.
I wouldn't want to mislead anyone.
Or call as well of course
Alright, thanks. I just emailed.
Good evening guys!
Ello!
Guys do you know where I can buy elgato hd60? Because in amazon is out of stock
Bestbuy has been keeping steady stock of them @tawny orchid
yeah best buy is a great place to check also try bh photo because they have the stock for everytyhing
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1251516-REG/elgato_systems_10025025_game_capture_hd60_pro.html
yes this is the hd60 pro
but its in stock
Hd60s? That can ships worldwide?
i cant find that even on bh
Can't wait to get my hands on the Wave:3. Love my elgato fam β€οΈ ordered
Lovelyyyy
hey
Hey guys, do you know when it's available at store the Echo 3?
who else is watching the stream?

Me! π
its actually a very comfortable and casual stream!
First time I've visited a stream and the more I hear the clear audio, the more and more I'm just gonna buy about 4 Wave 3s π
I'll be streaming from SLOBS with an Elgato HD60S and using it connected to my computer
Chat Link, I'm gonna get a separate Corsair headset

Glad to hear you all are enjoying the stream!
i dont think its supposed to take over a console stream/ usb interface, it deffinitly will be better withg pc streaming.
I meant 1 headset for speaking to my friends/ listening to game chat + the Wave 3 for speaking to stream

I don't tend to listen to my own audio, I let my chat tell me if something is wrong, or if I suspect something is wrong, I use my phone to listen to my stream and keep me updated
I know that's a bit amateur but I'm trying to improve as I go π
I have alerts and stuff but I have my monitor directly infront of me, and I'm constantly looking at it so I see if there is an alert without hearing it
As my TV is on the wall above my monitor, if that makes sense
Welcome new members!
π
thank you
Can the wave mic be used with a headphone amp? Does it introduce too much latency?
Anyone know if you can mute the Wave 1 via the mic itself?
Yes the dial clicks in to mute
Was the winner of twitch stream ga announced? my internet diediedied 
thanks @tight iris
yeah it was announced on stream
Anybody know if it's possible to use an amp along with the wave mic?
No, only for the middle function to monitor your voice with no lag. You can hear everything via the software
I think I've only plugged in my headset once or twice just to see what it did. Otherwise I only use the software
What are your headphones connected to?
so I bet it wasn't me then @past holly
gratz to the winner tho 
If you're looking to monitor your voice, there is more latency if you go through Wave Link's output to lets say speakers or a wireless headset, there will be more latency than if you were to use the 3.5mm headphone port on the Wave Mic. @stable inlet
wait, is Wave good reason to create new channel named - mic-chat or wave-chat? π€
so people can talk about different setups with wave without it being lost in the general channel? π€
there is a premade one called "Voice Chat" that you can use. you can also rename the channels.
yes
Yes, so:
Headphone port on headphone - no latency
Wireless headset or some other device not connected to the wave 3's headphone port - latency
Alright, I wanted to use my magni but still be able to use this mic and sofware
Is the latency bad?
So if you're monitoring your voice I would plug into the headphone jack of the mic
OK - so basically
Mic on headphone jack - no latency
PC audio mix from headphone jack - ultra low latency
Mic/PC audio mix from other devices - more latency
Now, when I say this - I'm able to play PC games etc. from Wave Link to my headset etc no problem
But, when measured, the headphone jack has less latency on the PC audio too
Better than any virtual software I believe
Like if you were to use voicemeeter
Our PC virtual mix listening has less latency when you use the headphone monitor port
than the voicemeeter
so it's REALLY good
BUT - if you really want to use wireless headphones (like I like to do when I stream and play games) - while there is MORE latency than the ultra low latency of the headphone port, that doesn't mean it's unplayable
however, when it comes to monitoring your own mic, I personally believe that any latency in your monitoring there really throws you off
I don't monitor my voice so that doesn't affect me. But if I were I would definitely use the headphone monitor port so I could do it with zero latency
Does this all make sense?
in obs, we recommend only having Wave Stream as your audio source. That way, Wave Link is handling all of your stream's audio.
I am tempted to sell my 2035 for the Wave:3
Will do a trade with Elgato directly if that works too xD
I think if you listen to a lot of the reviews that are available online you can see how the Wave stacks up with other mics in its price range/target
I don't know if the AT2035 on there - but realistically with Wave it's about the complete package
It's not just a mic - it's the mic and virtual mixer
Headphones>amp>software I'll have latency from system sounds but nothing unusable right?
Wave 1 makes more sense
Magni heresy
I wanted this mic because it'll save me some money, but I don't want a bunch of latency when using an external amp
A solution to my problem and I'm sold on this mic, it really is looking great
There really shouldn't be any latency on the amp. Assuming you mean just output from Wave microphone into amp into headphones.
Ya, meaning system sounds, I'd still like to control sounds with the software but connect via amp rather than the back of the wave mic
Sorry I didn't understand that, do you mean latency not present when: system(also sofware)>amp>headphones?
@everyone can anyone help me setup my dual pc out of the kindness of their heart? I have it all working except for audio I downloaded voicemeeter and elgato sound but there is a delay of audio on my end when in game. Thanks!
Thanks for that great presentation! Yet another thing for the wishlist lol
Can someone please tell me when the Elgato store is going to be back up, I have wanted to purchase the new Wave 3, but the site store has been down for quite awhile now???
@foggy spade you don't need to post I. Multiple channels. #cth-history is fine if some one is there. Also please no everyone tags.
yes i do because i've had this problem posted it in here before and got a half ass response to a presumably simple problem either one setting or a faulty piece of equipment which seems to be a reocurring problem for elgato capture cards @civic falcon
do you mind spending 5 minutes for $5 and help me out in a call with screen share please
i beg
Posting the same thing in multiple channels is considered spam. #cth-history is a community driven area and not monitored by support staff. If no one is able to help you in there you should contact elgato support at http://e.lga.to/help
@civic falcon Spam: irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet a large number of times.
2 is not a large number by any means
but i appreciate your concern
I'm curious can someone from Elgato tell m maybe, did you guys collaborate with Rogue Amoeba for the Mac version of Wave Link?
sup folks
Ummmm
@tawny orchid not the place for this
@civic falcon are we allowed to discuss things related to rumors and elgato products here?
You can absolutely talk about elgato products. With regards to rumoured products I'll double check.
my reasoning is i was poking around the elgato wave app package contents and found some interesting tidbits
Yeah let me get back to you on that.
I take full credit. 


The Wave looks awesome! πͺπ Good job guys! β€οΈ
who's getting his/her wave today?
anyone here to chat with?
I'm tempted to get the wave 1... I probably don't need it but woweee software (and sound ofc) is excellent as always
With a $30 price difference (If you're in the states anyways) getting the Wave 1 makes no sense
yeah
Does anyone know anything about the new wave link software? Like does it actually output sound is separate channels for VODs?
Wave 1 is actually for the most part identical to wave 3. Unless you want the extra dial and special mute tap button wave 1 is completely fine. @indigo moth
48khz is cap for obs anyways. So really comes down to you want extra functionality with the buttons tbh
I just got Wave 1, am looking for arm suggestions
So when the Wave 3 is back in stock (which I'd love to know), can I get a USB-C to USB-C cable for it and use that?
I have my spare VRLink cable port I don't use π
Rode ps1 is a great boom arm
Will we ever know what happened to wave 2?
@static copper Yeah that's kind of the conclusion I came too tbh, with the money you save going with wave 1 you could add on the pop filter/shock mount too
@pliant pine FAX
Maybe wave 2 will be some weird special drop...dynamic mic? 
is the button on the front of the 4k 60 s+ a button or touch control?
Wave 1 is the way to go, unless you care for extra physical button functionality it doesn't make much sense to get the 3
I'll be saving money compared to my original budget for an xlr setup I'll be able to add in a streamdeck
So idk how much Iβm allowed to talk about in this discord cuz it is elgatos discord
But there are some files in the wave link app that reference more devices
And a really smart programming friend of mine is helping to take a look at some of them, he said thereβs some interesting things on there
I was a little wary at first, but I think I'm going all in and purchasing the wave 1
Wave 1 is a good choice
Itβs just extra money for cosmetics and accessibility functions
You can still do everything on the 1
And itβs the same internals except for 96k
As I said yesterday my biggest complaint is the price up here in Canada. By the time you get a Wave 3 + pop filter + shock mount you are in the $400 - $450 range. For another $100 - $200 CAD you can have a GO XLR mini + XLR mic + cheap boom arm which leaves you upgrade paths down the road where as the Wave 3 cannot be improved on in the future.
The product just loses out on that value argument when you get so much more out of a GO XLR + XLR mic for adding 25 - 50% more to your budget towards an audio solution.
Wait what is the price of the wave:3 and accessories?
@pliant dew If I am remembering correctly $280+ for the wave 3 and $50 for each of the two accessories you would pretty much be required to have because nothing else will fit the shape of the mic.
alright, cool
In the US it makes more sense because $130/$180 for the wave then $30 for filter and $40 for mount which is around $200-$250
A goxlr mini alone is 250
If that was the case up here it may have been a consideration if I wasn't running a duel PC setup and pretty much require multiple inputs because I play both PC and console
You don't really need the filter, it has a filter built into the mic
but its not that good
Hey guys, Im thinking of starting some form of news journal for on my friday upload window. I need atleast two or three people to help me find news items related to news/tech/youtube/twitch/etc, who is up for the task to help out?
I mean will you pay me?
In exposure? π
Lmao
So does anyone know if the void pro are going to work with the wave?
so any output can be set as the output in wave link
but
only the wave headphone jack itself has 0 latency
everything else has some processing latency
its supposed to be small tho
Doing some cable management in my server cabinet
Does anyone know how well the wave link software works? IE: does it actually separate out audio into separate channels for VODS, or is it just a muxer?
So are the Wave mics officially released and shipping or is it a future release? Like on Amazon it says it'll be released June 25
But on the ElGato site I didn't see anything about a date
A REALLY cool feature of using Wave Link with its 8 virtual inputs is that they can be used to create multi track recordings using OBS Studio.
Want 6 separate audio tracks for easy editing? Done. How about a main mix (track 1) with all sources combined and then
I actually do wonder if the separate tracks can be done via the Game Capture or 4K Capture Utility software as well. It's a pretty neat figure currently where you can separate the mic recording from the video.
yea, it's the most interesting feature in my opinion
that's why I wanted to see if the software does the channel stuff on it's own without you needing to tell another capture software like OBS to capture each of them
IE: when I record sound with microsoft gamebar
do I get 6 channels? or do I get one
something tells me I get 1
Generally it's up to whatever is recording your audio to determine how many tracks you can record at one time.
Or how many devices you can record at one time.
Gamebar, to my knowledge, won't separate out your audio sources into different tracks.
thanks
I mean, essentially, Wave Link does the job of VoiceMeeter Potato with the virtual mixing of several apps/programs/sources (well, 2 mics I hear, dunno if line-in can be used or not), and apparently able to send several "outputs" (possibly enough for using a full 6 channels of OBS).
All in all, Elgato continues to do what they do best, make products that make streaming easy.
I could theoretically get the same function now with VoiceMeeter Potato, my XLR mic & interface, and a bunch of the Virtual Audio Cables, then have the 2 desktop channels and 4 "mic" channels all within OBS (and I do this now), but it took awhile to get that all setup and working.
While it seems with Wave3 and Wave Link, it makes it pretty easy to setup and use.
I don't have hands on experience, but I believe the advantage with Wave Link would probably be lower latency monitoring of your inputs with less artifacts than other software.
Thatβs kinda the point. Easy to use at the expense of options, control and an upgrade path to better equipment while still using the Wave
There's a huge, long answer to that and it all boils down to "it depends." If you plan to use an Elgato product, you will need a device that can convert the analog signal into a digital one that is outputted via HDMI. As for which converter you can use, there are so many options at various price points with various features that perform at various levels and you'll have to do research on it yourself to find the best solution for you.
god dammit
i'm screwed
what if i just point my phone camera at the tv screen
yeah i'll just do that
the wii
well i was gonna say if its melee you can use slippi
wii2hdmi huh
This isn't rocket science. Get a capture card that will take the signal.
hm
ok kevin a lot of people don't have experience with older consoles and recording
an hdmi cap card isn't intuitive with the wii
so instead of being rude maybe offer him sound advice
yeah kevin
Everyone by now should know how to use Google
i have 120 dollar
@neon hatch 4K Capture Utility right now supports Game Audio and Live Commentary, so essentially one extra track. It would need to be updated to support this functionality.
do i need beef pc to capture wii
no
You don't need a beefy PC to capture, but you need a decent one. What are the specs of your current computer?
That system would fall below the requirements of our devices. So we can't promise it our capture cards would behave as expected.
this is the elgato discord, maybe a little biased to ask that question swiss lmao
but elgato is generally pretty reliable
Maybe, but of course that's something to discuss outside of the Elgato discord.
Here is an example of some of the requirements of our oldest active device right now: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028243351-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-S-System-Requirements-
I had to sell my hd60s because it didn't work well on my mac D: I wanna get an hd60s+ at some point
We'd like to see a Quad Core processor, discrete GPU. A mobile i3 is definitely a dual core processor and isn't meant to do much work.
i'll just use my phone
Recently got an HD 60 S and an AV to ADMI adapter to use for PS2 and earlier systems
my pc is not chad enough to record m&m's kart racing
It may work. But it may not, and I'm just wanting to make that expectation clear based on the information you provided.
Very specific and coincidental choice of game as I was about to go out and see if a game store I live by had exactly that game Swiss
@woven tusk i have a question about wave if you don't mind
pick me up a copy while your there
Tho gotta see if there is a way to record DS or portable systems, with some adapter or the likes.
or if that uses a different thing all it's own
@glad moon Phil knows more about the details, but sure.
got gameboy covered, gamecube has a gameboy player
on Mac, can you still send the individual applications to their own outputs? I know that it works a bit different on mac where its application based instead of input based but I'm wondering if sending it to applications as different tracks works the same
That's definitely a question for @iron gazelle
I don't personally own a Mac so I don't have much experience here.


oh
@sturdy cape Just to answer about DS recording, there isn't an active way to do it currently. There were 3DS capture kits that were hard modded into your system, but the manufacturer is out of business and such modifications are in a legal grey area in Japan. The only way to do DS or 3DS streaming/recording is through emulation which is also in a legal grey area.
yikes
And the reason why I bring up the modification being legally grey in Japan is because the company that sold the mods were in Japan.
I remember one of the first questions I had on my first day working Twitter was about how to capture a 3DS lol. Had bad news for them.
And those '3DS capture cards' generally output to USB, not HDMI ironically.
Yeah, and they're pretty imperfect.
I guess you could try to get the capture devices that Nintendo sold/gave to press outlets, but "difficult" doesn't even begin to describe the process of obtaining one.
Mission Impossible 7 perhaps
@glad moon On mac its actually easier than on Windows. On mac, you choose the application you want to capture in Wave Link and Wave Link grabs it automatically. None of the setup that Windows requires is needed. Other than that the functionality is identical
I guess one option to get AV out on an original Nintendo DS is to get the Intelligent Systems Nitro Emulator (dev kit) for anywhere between $800-$1600. As for 3DS, it's pretty much a complete dead end.
But apparently retail games don't work on the dev kit without modding it. Really it's just a brick wall.
yes but @iron gazelle
in terms of sending that out to OBS
as multiple tracks
does it work the same way?
Correct, yes
You mean recording multiple audio tracks seperately?
did you guys collab with rogue amoeba for the mac build?
That I would need to verify
yeah thats what I mean
Ah im not sure exactly if the implementation is the same, I retract my statement. ill check for you though
ok
Not right now as I dont have time. Ill have Crest remind me if I forget
but my question about rogue amoeba, i've just been wondering if buying loopback on its own would be better on mac vs Wave Link
if its using the same tech does it have the same latency?
We use that technology, so with Wave you get the loopback functionality + the extra wave link features + an excellent microphone
it seems like from my research the wave link offers easy submixing while loopback doesn't have a super intuitive way to do that
ok, i think ill go with the wave link then, if you could just get back to me about sending multiple outputs to OBS for multi track recording that'd be great π
whenever u get the chance
yeppp
@iron gazelle if you're still here, any idea if you guys will be bringing the different audio track recording to the .aaf files of 4KCU?
What do you mean? 4KCU always records in multi track
But it just includes the mic/voice commentary track and the HDMI track currently. With Wave Link and what you said about OBS and multi-track recording, would it also include all of the other source tracks from Wave Link?
Oh I see. That's on our list of planned features. The idea would be that there's a recording button in Wave Link that if you click it will record all the inputs to a seperate audio file. Something like that. Super easy to understand, but not that easy for us to implement π
π that should work
Added a new chat channel for #wave-chat now that we're passed launch. You can still ask questions here, but if it is a longer conversation - let's move it over to that channel π
Does anyone know if there will be an XLR verso of the new microphones??
@regal zodiac Where did you order from?
do we have any web designers in here?
@vale cosmos amazon
Oh that's crazy it just shows available for preorder now
Will an external dac work with this mic? Also to note I would be using an amp
i did it the morning of announcement.. and i got it today: -prime-
i think the only take-away that i dont like.. is that button.. you have to push it hard and you cant just push it w/o tumbling the thing over. u gotta hold it in the back.
Only certified ninjas are qualified to push the button
@regal zodiac can you link on amazon please. nothing shows up
thanks i just wanted link. nothing i searched even showed
crazy its sold out already
hows the quality?
it sold out in like 2-4 hours thursday morning.. I woke up and i was like.. oh yeah.. i got some amazon moolah.
i never had a blue yeti.... so i cant truly comment on that.
It offers a lot more in terms of features.
Which you can view at the product page.
https://www.elgato.com/en/wave-3
think im sold on the music thing
i like to listen to music while streaming
is their a swing arm stand to go with it or buy seperet?
You'll have to buy it separately but it does come with a small desk stand.
but their is one. cool
i wonder when it will be back in stock
im glad i didnt buy the yeti x lol its been out of stock for awhile
NFL bought them all up
has anyone done a quality test?
i tested the blue yeti but it picks up too much stuff in the background..
did you put any noise gates and supressions?
background noise is easy to get rid of
i was just more on the quality of the voice
i did but i tested it for like 2 days.. friend let me borrow his
again its really all about preference..
never owned one.. just borrowed.. played a little bit w/ it.. i was like.. ok cool.. moving on
gotcha
playing w/ the wave3.. i got some funny things happening w/ it.. ill blame it on the fact that i didnt reboot after installation.. lol..
lol like what?
so when i was chatting w/ someone.. the mic auto adjusted as if it was possessed
but i do like that touch capactive mute on the top.. ONLY thing i dislike is he button in the front to toggle the 3 modes. its a hard push.. and u can knock it over. u gotta support it in the back to push the button..
unless u lock it in really tight. its possible
ahhh yeah i use the mute button i made on my stream deck
wonder if those 3 modes can be programmed into the deck
i got lucky. i had tons of amazon space bux .. and it was also on sale.. so it was a score
nice
yeah whatever my twitch payout is i just buy new equipment
usually around $150
so whatever is worth $150 lol
oof.. done w/ work.. now i can truly go play something
welp.. gonna go do the whatever the hell im gonna do.. have a good one.
Local microcenter has some key light airs. Just got one!
Somebody can help me with capture game in elgato HD60 pro?
boi just got the wave 3s, unfortunately I'll just get them by August, but whatever, waht matters is my streams will be great! I'm almost sure almost nobody on Brasil got them, so it will be awsome!

@coarse marsh well I have just installed the HD60 PRO version. Works good, streams good. I have some extra FPS in STREAMING but UNFORTUNATELY dont know how to set up the device that only GAME WINDOW is streammed. It streams all my monitor content ... π¦
@winter elm Man, I don't know how to help you, sorry! If google can't help you, maybe on #cth-history they can fix your problem
because if fixed, your stream will be fire
Ok
got my wave:3 today π ~is there a beta version for streamdeck?~ nevermind π 4.8 is on the website
Damn I guess I should have tried Amazon first. I ordered directly from the Corsair site and it's still in "Booked" didn't even ship yet
Yo I am amped for the new elgato wave 3. Legit elgato becoming the one stop shop for legit every streamer need.
now all they need
is a camera
they should do the same thing they did with lewitt
partner with a camera company
develop a low cost camera with basically 2 functions
good depth of field
and a decent detail quality
just enough to blow webcams out of the water
then make it have a camlink basically built in
and be able to output to multiple apps at once. omg the dream
^^^^^^^
bought a sony a7 yesterday. very satisfied now π
Nice.
Bought a backordered c920. If it doesnt arrive by the time the rest of streaming gear does, might just go to the local best buy and pick up a sony
Ah, my bad
hi guys
yep, got it yesterday π
What your overall impressions?@zealous mica
@static copper -> #wave-chat
Sooooooo should i just cough up the dough for a price-gouged Cam Link or wait? Lol
yay!
hi guys
Does anyone know if the wave is back in stock on the elgato store?
if you maybe wanna get something cheaper that definitely isn't as high quality or reliable until the Cam Link's come back
Thanks @glad moon! Personally speaking, high quality is something I've always been big on and I'm willing to spend on it. Just didn't want to jump the gun and by a Cam Link for $230 now and then see it come back in stock in like 3 weeks lol
Hey I've been having difficulty using my elgato 4k 60 with my hdmi switch/ audio extractor. It works with my pc but not with my ps4 pro and xbox one x have the pass through going to a benq 4k 60 28 in 60hz monitor
@remote ermine not sure if in stock but I got two cam links from micro center for 110 each
website's telling me it's sold out
Does anyone know if the Elgato HD60 Pro capture card will work fine with the Asus Prime X570 Pro Ryzen 3 AM4 motherboard?
If it's an HD60 pro purchased new in the last 2 years it should work fine right out of the box. If it's much older it may require a firmware change from our team. @hard rivet
@glossy hornet, yeah there's one about 40 min from me. I'll call them up later today
@woven tusk
if I made some sort of hackintosh with PCIE expansion ports would an hd60 pro work on that
I've seen people use vertical risers for the HD60 Pro
An HD60 Pro is only supported on Windows. Doesn't matter if the hardware is Mac or not.
So youd want to dual boot it in that case.
Anyone else have issues with the 4k60 pro update struggling to find connection with mirrorless cameras?

I streamed on Mixer for years. This sucks.
Staff didn't even know.
Partners didn't know.
Everyone got shafted.
like yt gaming but in Facebook
Sorry to everyone who now have to move off of Mixer. So much crazy going on in the gaming community. π«
Hi guys
I used Restream to simulcast to YouTube/Twitch/Mixer, I guess Mixer is dead now so I'll just go back to the other two.
I guess MS just threw money at Ninja and Shroud and thought their audiences would migrate.
Best ways to buy an Elgato HD60 S for cheap?
Best ways to buy an Elgato HD60 S for cheap?
@uncut token to have luck and find a cheap offer
In my country I regularly see them on Facebook Marketplace, for somewhere around 33% under retail price.

hi guys
If anybody has an HD60 S can you describe your experience with it?
I am looking to get one for my birthday
@hearty pivot From what I have read, the Elgato HD60 S is the best one to have for streaming and recording. Unlike the Elgato HD60, you do not have to get your audio in sink.
just bought a camlink 4k on amazon for retail. i think its legit. seller is amazon global store UK
says it est for mid july though
Any news on Wave:3 stock?
@agile shuttle dm me I know where theres some for sale
Hey guys! I run double pc set up with 4k60 pro mk2 and blacks blackscreen everytime I switch out of a game. Is there something I could do besides running windowed full screen to fix this?
so my elgato starting acting up, it keeps sayin no signal them tries to capture then goes back to no signal and just continues switching between the 2
#cth-history
@VioHazard#0639 @unkempt tundra
depends π if you need tech help: #cth-history, for camera: #camera-chat, for audio #wave-chat. general questions go here
Has there been any update on stock of the wave? I messed up and didnβt buy it at the start
yeah some places still have it in stock
Amazon delayed mine that was to arrive today so I cancelled and bought elsewhere lmao
should arrive tomorrow
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand its gone
What about the wave 1 tho smh
Real question is.. do I wanna switch to wave 3 from AT2020 & GoXLR?
Morning all, is there a tech help here. I just got a stream deck mini yesterday, just got it setup this morning. And I am having an issue with it. Keeps randomly powering on and off.
does anyone know how long it takes to ship from elgato directly? i ordered a wave 3 on launch day, but I only received the pop filter
could be that particular best buy or your state - shows in California for me @hybrid hare
@indigo moth Wave:1 is still in stock on our website https://www.elgato.com/en/wave-1
is there a way to bribe someone to get an elgato cam link 4k shipped? π€
ooooo i'm tempted
i think i never checked a product page that often -- while having the money ready for months π
We had stock of Cam Link arrive in Best Buy yesterday and it sold out almost immediately... I didnt even get a chance to post 
I'll try to share stock availability as soon as I see it available. everything is in high demand :<
this elgato stream deck XL is the best thing ive ever purchased for only 30$s
how is that even possible? π
i think i never checked a product page that often -- while having the money ready for months π
@zealous mica Same here haha
oi
How come the wave 1 hasn't hit other retailers yet? 
Is there some way to make the text for the hardware info plugin bigger?
I saw some elgato restocks on best buy. So i hopped on the hd60 s+, stream deck xl, and cam link 4k.
The camlink was sold out immediately, but i kept trying throughout the day and got one
I'm jelly. I've been hunting for the camlink. 
Wait... mods don't get priority?






anyone know when the shock mount will be back or anywhere i can purchase it
thanks
I made some panels for those of you who are on mixer switching platforms. Personally I did the Facebook gaming account setup and it didnβt really make the transition easy. I hope these help you get some of your community to move with you.
this is awesome @hot tinsel! Can you also post that in #content-creation? I'll pin it π
@hollow aurora yes maβam
is this normal ?
i dont see anything to accept download nor anything to close the window
Hm, not normal. Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling?
If it still does it, I'd file at ticket at http://e.lga.to/help
Unfortunately the Switch Lite does not have a dock therefore cannot work with a capture card
Any plans to add eq in the wave link sofware?
Wohoo! Cam Link 4K arriving next week! (ordered yesterday on amazon germany)
good morning @velvet falcon
Well, let's hope my Elgato HD60S serves me well in my next journey as a YouTuber...
I aren't gonna need the StreamDeck anymore though...
Why wouldn't you need the StreamDeck anymore @drowsy merlin ? It can still be used to control the game capture software or the recording side of OBS Studio/Streamlabs
Because I won't be changing scenes or anything, and I'm on XSplit
Gotcha
π₯³π₯³ my wave 3 arrives today

@drowsy merlin can you dm me?
why?
I have a question
about...?
Personal question
Sorry, I'm not comfortable doing that
@drowsy merlin Set it up for your editing software
It's DaVinci Resolve, doesn't play nicely with that
ah
So whatβs a capture card that can do high refresh rates?
@chilly shale Looks like it's cut off but there is a download or update button on the bottom right generally.
@drowsy merlin was just wondering if youre selling ur stream deck
Nah, I'm not
@torpid dagger please don't advertise/selfpromote or ask for upvotes on things in here. It is against the #rules . Thank you!

@ancient spruce my bad
Anyone know of a good mount for a Camera to attach on a desk?
The multimount. 
How much?
I used a small clamp and ballhead to attach to an existing arm for my key light
Very inexpensive and sturdy.
I love the Multi mount, but I have to say, my cam is too heavy for it π¦

Does elgato have livechat of some sort?
I'm a twinning of Elgato and Razer myself
Also, DaVinci Resolve is amazing
Now that I'm diving into this software having started my YouTube journey...
I would cry for a elgato beanie.
does someone has experience with the hd60s and 2 pc stream setup? i could need help in chat for setting everything up! would be great if someone can answer some questions and help me through this hell of setting up π
srry nah
KazToday at 2:56 PM
can someone help me with streaming my elgato game capture hd to discord?
I have my switch and elgato correctly set up, because if i try streaming it to youtube it works, I just don't know how to do it to a discord voice channel.
@tawny orchid you'd probably have to either open the game capture software and try and stream the window or you'd have to do a window projection from OBS and stream that to discord
ah ok
question: i have a 1440p monitor and a hd60s. can i bypass the 1080p downgrade with an hdmi splitter? so that i can still play in 1440p and give the hd60 an 1080p signal?
Might want to ask in #cth-history
let's see how long it takes to sell out
CamLink 4K in stock in #announcements on Elgato site. π
gone 
I woulda got it if I had the money 
I had it in my cart then realized I couldnt get it
4 minutes to sell out? Sheesh
it was available longer than that tbh
i had it in the cart late last night
When I'm done with the CamLink I'll just give it to my best friend
That way she can get that same amazing quality
Since for me, the CamLink will probably just be a stopgap
I have my eyes on a competitor's product (that kinda competes with the CamLink but doesn't at the same time)
But my best friend will never need more than a CamLink. So it works out nicely that when I upgrade, she gets my CamLink
I want to get a HD60s or S+ so bad. Would make streaming my PS4 much easier. Canβt wait for shipments to be allowed again so I can see about getting one.
it's in stock @wicked moon https://www.corsair.com/us/en//Categories/Products/Elgato-Gaming/Capture/Game-Capture/p/10GAR9901
HD60 S+ is an external solution that lets you play high-fidelity console games in 4K60 HDR10, while capturing your gameplay in superb 1080p60 HDR10 quality.
helveticat, for the CamLink, my sponsor friend is whipping up a sponsor link for me to use π
XD last I looked it wasnβt. But thatβs good to know! Now to save up lol.
I reached out to her asking her to make me one so I could order it
Haha it would be pretty cool if a won the giveaway haha jk... unless π³
how do i leave a review?
Yes would also like to know! ^
where do i write a review?
The Key Light Air sold out instantly lol
You guys are awesome
Is there any way to contact anyone from Elgato here who might explain why they refuse to respond to customer services requests from MONTHS ago? I am never using Elgato products again after this experience.
I got two strong laptops. I can record however long I want now.
Its optional so dont put

What product are you reviewing? I'll let the team know regardless
Wishing everyone good luck
@hollow aurora has 100 people did it yet?
I'll check the numbers on Monday. If we go past 100... maybe... we'll...add....more 
OwO

@hollow aurora its the HD60 S
When we get an email to confirm our review thats important to do right?
hi guys
im currently saving up for an elgato for streaming
i have two of device stream deck and video capture
StreamDeck XL, HD60S, Key Lights (x2), Multi Mount, Flex Arm Kit
The elgato capture card is so so superior but so expensive
And soon to be adding a CamLink 4K to the mix
ooooo
mine capture is second hand and good price for it too.
I got my HD60S second hand
But I've been burned so many times by used tech, I dunno why I bought it 2nd hand
am looking to use my camera for webcam with. but it not on the list
which camera is it?
@random tinsel where you talkin about an capture card for good price ????? lol
You're looking for 2 things:
- Does it output clean HDMI (no overlays etc over HDMI)?
- Does it have unlimited runtime?
If it has both, it's fully supported by CamLink
The wave is my first elgato product so I just reviewed it 
i dont have any products yet but hopin to get a elgato hd60 or hd60s
My
has been great 
I have a stream deck mini, where can I review it?
and I didn't buy it from the official site, so am I uneligible?
i submited feedback
how do i know i got entered to that giveaway
and was the first 100 people?
@random tinsel Looks like you can use the USB webcam software with it
