What do you guys think of... of...
You know what? We all know I'm just trying to farm engagement.
Just like the video dude, do you know how long it took me to make those diagrams? I could have been doing anything. Like eating a salad. Except salads are gross. Eww. Gimme flaming hot cheetohs. That's where it's at.

Great video, Nutty! We’re going to send you a Wave Link alpha with VST support. It’s pretty awesome!

[MikhaelJames]

You taught us how to use VM so well that I fell in love with it and can't see myself leaving it for anything other than a physical mixer interface. VM is amazing and FREE!

[MyNameIsEarl]

Knowing if the "nutty way" existed or not was what was keeping me on the fence about this mic. THANK YOU! I need to keep some channels off of the VOD for editing purposes, so a mic that gives me multiple virtual devices that I can choose to NOT bundle into a single source in OBS is absolutely worth the extremely minor fidelity differences in it's price class (which can be a preference anyway)

[youbetchabrian]

What I'd like Elgato to update on Wave Link is a setting feature where you can set "markers" on the volume bars of each audio source so I can quickly go back and forth between my favorite volume settings during certain parts of my streams, cause sometimes I forget how soft or how loud I had a volume setting configured on a certain audio source since I'm always changing the volume depending on circumstances and sometimes I need to go back to what it was set at before so I'm always troubleshooting that when this happens.

i cant already envision the thumbnail for when elgato adds vst support
your face doing the tim and eric mind blown face, and the caption on the video says "THEY FINALLY DID IT"
and you know i'll watch it

[The_ne]

Great content incoming.

As someone that used Voicemeeter for a while before finally buying a Wave 3, the main thing Elgato is missing is VST support.

[fifthnail]

We just started using Voicemeeter, not convinced yet I need a Wave and mixing software. Stream Deck is still light years ahead of anything else. Keep innovating Elgato! Thank you!!!

[ThatNerdyClark]

We love the Wavelink. You mentioned switching monitoring devices I may have a solution. There is a stream deck plug in that allows one click audio output source changing. It is called audio output switcher, I know shocker 🤣. Hope this helps

[ruzaqir]

man seriously u deserve more subs and view.. this is golden. Thx for showing us good video

[JJtoob]

Friendly reminder to streamers that using VOD audio channel to play copyrighted music while live doesn't mean you couldn't get your channel struck, but since most of us little people are unlikely to get in trouble, all we get is segments of our VODs muted, and thus, separating the music can at least make your VOD completely viewable thanks to not getting muted, but understand that the violation of copyrights still happened, and you can theoretically still get in trouble for it.

@5:00 They do not in fact all work the same. I found that out the hard way. This becomes apparent when dual-pc streaming and using Voicemeeter to bridge the connections between computers.

[beyondfitness]

Thanks for the video. I went and got a wave 3 in the Black Friday sale and can’t wait to play about with it now

[wagonet]

Was literally thinking of this and you did the video..I'm so happy to see you getting sponsored. You got the best stream content around

[donpalaisy]

Great video!! One key feature VoiceMeeter offers for the dual pc streamer is the ability to vban audio between the 2 pcs, but not a deal breaker for most users... The only question I have regarding the comparison between Voicemeeter and the Wave Mixer is which of the 2 uses the least amount of system resources?

[DawzG]

I think 99% of people use more of the VM features than you realize lol. It's just so nice to have that flexibility. Having to buy a wave mic just to use the software also is an immediate nope. AT-2020 here, never turning back.

[maires]

Your honesty is so much appreciated. Voicemeeter hurts my brain.

[mg-daniel]

wait but the problem is that the wave link only works with the wave 1 mic right?

[jamesfarmer]

i'm honestly surprised no ones went in and tried to modify the installer for the wave link software to try and get it to ignore the check that it uses to see if you have a wave mic pluged in

[ravenoftheredsky]

Very smart suggestions at the end, nut
