Thank you! Just got the original GO:Mixer barely used for a great price, dont need to use Roland app, works great with built in Voice memos app if dont need video. Plan to get the Pro version as well in the future, for that phantom power. Like the small size of this one though.
Well now i'm just mad at myself for not realizing this existed before buying the regular one. Trying to use it as an audio interface for live dawless jams into a mac is possible, but you have to go through a couple extra hoops to isolate the audio. Would have saved so much headache...
The PRO model seems a bit pointless. If you need phantom power or need for stand-alone mixer (not using as audio interface for camera), just seems to make more sense to buy an actual mixer. I'm happy with my original GO:Mixer. I just wish there was either a longer cable to interface with the iPhone and/or some sort of clip to secure it to a mic stand or tripod. Since it doesn't weigh much, I just let it dangle from the tripod after wrapping the cable around a pole to keep it from coming unplugged on accident.
I want to buy this because I need to be able to hear my vocals through the mic as well as my music and my bass so I can practice bass and vocals together and not have music blaring too loud which this seems to be able to do as it has headphone out BUT why the hell does it need a phone to power it?? is it possible to get a USB power supply and the cable to fit into this device to power it?? I do have a iphone 6 but I cbf using its battery to power this
Great info! Can I hook this up to my Mac and if I wanted to live stream just hook up webcams to my Mac? Or do I need to hook up my iPhone to live stream?
Hey Jade. Yeah do a Go Mixer Pro vs Volca mix video. Also does this bring audio into a camera for live video? I know it doesn't work with Android phones so I was wondering if it would work with Canon or Nikon cameras?
Did you say the original go mixer can't be used for PA system or speakers, can I not place the PA system cord into the headphone output?...or is it not powerful enough?
Thank you kindly for the rundown. I don't need phantom power myself so I won't bother upgrading. One other catch with an iOS device is you'd still need to plug it in if you want a stereo mix, since the mic jack is mono.
I just got the GO:Mixer, and while I knew it needed a phone for power, it also seems that you have to have a compatible app running on your phone for the device to even work as a mixer? Is that the same with the GO:Mixer Pro when running on batteries? Does a phone need to be connected with an app running for the mixer to function? Thanks!!!
This is about the Go:Livecast Pro : so, honestly I did not go through the comments, if anybody mentioned this, I'm sorry to bring it up again...but a worldwide known company like Roland, coming out with a product, that has a mono (!!!) output in 2019 is just beyond unimaginable and bad in every way possible...was really excited to get this and i have been using since may (not been able to work cause of covid and my friend actually bought it for me for a hefty $250). I am still speechless, how can they do such a mistake! Now I am stuck with this and even tho I like the video features, (main stream is with iPhoneX and additional satellite cam is with iPad5thgen and thats cool) Roland is a music equipment company for the most part so I am just total clueless, why...anybody had anything to say about this?
Does the "Monitor OUT" line only play direct sound (which hasn't passed through the iPhone), or can you tell the iPhone to send the processed audio back to it. For example, if you want to plug a guitar into the Roland Go Mixer, have the signal go into the iPhone effect pedal app, and back out to the Roland Go Mixer OUT. Is that possible? Thanks!
Question: i am considering to buy the go mixer, i was wondering if you know if it will work properly with my samsung a20e, i am worried that it might turn stereo to mono, as i have heard that some unlisted devices have this problem.
Hi, I have a Roland Go: Mixer, I have one question, when I do live streaming on Facebook or RUclips, the live video only broadcasts the sound in MONO, not stereo, do you know why that is?
@@TonyChenMusicOfficial The USB-output of the Go Mixer sends a stereo signal into the connected equipment, but for Android phones the signal converts to mono. The headphone output probably also sends a stereo signal, I haven’t tested. If the platform you are casting on live only use mono, your stereo signal will be converted to mono regardless of your stereo efforts....however if you are DJ’ing live for example using an amplifier and speakers the signal won’t be converted.
@@flatlandcircuitry I use my iPhone to do live streaming, everything I hear through go mixer is stereo, only the streaming video is mono. But only once I remembered, on FB it had stereo live streaming, had no clue why that happened.
Hi Jade, thanks for your review, hey I have a question, apart from the headphone, can I take an output from Roland Go Pro for a monitor or a speaker for the whole band to listen to what they are singing or playing?
Hello Jade, Total newbie here. Can this be used as an Audio Interface, let's say, Messenger Skype OR Zoom for Video Calling/Lessons? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Hey Bro, im looking to buy the Go Mixer Pro only to record my electric guitar sound for my videos on my Samsung, bro is it possible to monitor the sound with headphones plugged into the Go Mixer Pro with NO latency/Delay as I will be using the the Rec Out/Headphones jack to plug the amp into the device which will mute my amp. Im not a fan at all of recording guitar whilst just listening to the acoustics as the amp mutes.
@@jeremymurray-wakefield8011 so when the recording volume is on max, will it blow my ears out if I dont get the In line controller? Is the recorded volume loud enough when its turned up to the max.
Has anyone tried this with a Samsung Note 10+? I have been looking for something to run my Behringer XR18 mixers audio out direct into my Note 10+. I would like to be able to record video of my studio sessions, and also stream live on Facebook. Mind you, not at the same time. I'm having a difficult time finding info on interfaces for the Note 10 which only has USBc. No headphone jack. The only thing that has been recommended thus far is the iRig Duo Pro. It's a bit more expensive than this one from Roland. Thanks in advance for any input.
In Australia they have DELETED the GO mixer sadly, which is disappointment and for me I can't justify the additional $122.00 price difference in Australia.
Yes, you can use it as an audio interface. Beware though if your are into audio purism that it just records in 16-bit where as most pro equipment records at 24-bit. Still perfectly fine though for web, home and amateur use! Also, you can´t mix singing/playing with the playback from the smartphone connected to GO:MIXER via USB, and record them into the smartphone via USB at the same time. For that use, you will need the PRO version which has a loop back on/off switch.
Thank you so much for this video, I desperately need this device. If you ever happen to check one of my (cover) videos 😉, you'll see/hear the audio quality is really bad; so Thanks again, much appreciated. 👍🏾👊🏾
The Roland Camcorder app is very basic to a point its close to unusable without postprocessing. Atleast for android, there are other cameraapps that has basic functions like screencrop, resolutionsettings and some filters that will make the Go:mixer worth the $100. The mixer is really cheap and plastic and it is far from clean in the signal path. Using it with CameraMX and a longer USB cable, it does the job as advertised for posting decent quality clips to social media. Pro not so much.
My BIG problem with original GoMixer was that this thing drains my Iphone battery and since it take away the only port for charging purposes, i can only use original GoMixer for like an hour, and i cannot have long streams for say 2-3 hours. So my question is: will this new battery section help me? Or its only for mic fantom?... Will it stop draining my iPhone and whats most important, will it HELP the battery life of my Iphone, coz i really need it (remember, you can't charge an Iphone and use Roland GoMixer at the same time).
cant really check out the products you are explaining cos you are waving them around making them blurry and hard to focus on. maybe put them on a table side by side might be better lol
Fine but while go mixer pro is running through your phone even with batteries on the go mixer pro you can’t charge your phone at the same time as your using charger port to attach the two devices
Thank you! Just got the original GO:Mixer barely used for a great price, dont need to use Roland app, works great with built in Voice memos app if dont need video. Plan to get the Pro version as well in the future, for that phantom power. Like the small size of this one though.
Thanks alot, you literally have all the reviews I'm looking for
Awesome video Jade😊👍👍
Yo girl THX... Cheers from SPAIN!
Nice video exactly what I was looking for
I just ordered the new one ! Thanks for the video.
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you again and again!!
Well now i'm just mad at myself for not realizing this existed before buying the regular one. Trying to use it as an audio interface for live dawless jams into a mac is possible, but you have to go through a couple extra hoops to isolate the audio. Would have saved so much headache...

Yeah, I use to do that with mine but then it came loose and doesnt work that great anymore
I want to buy this because I need to be able to hear my vocals through the mic as well as my music and my bass so I can practice bass and vocals together and not have music blaring too loud which this seems to be able to do as it has headphone out BUT why the hell does it need a phone to power it?? is it possible to get a USB power supply and the cable to fit into this device to power it?? I do have a iphone 6 but I cbf using its battery to power this
How would you connect that stand alone mixer into your phone? The pro model offers that with multiple instrument inputs
Love to see that go mixer vs Volca mix comparison!
Me too! :)
they´re two different product aimed at different purposes
Great info! Can I hook this up to my Mac and if I wanted to live stream just hook up webcams to my Mac? Or do I need to hook up my iPhone to live stream?
Hey Jade. Yeah do a Go Mixer Pro vs Volca mix video. Also does this bring audio into a camera for live video? I know it doesn't work with Android phones so I was wondering if it would work with Canon or Nikon cameras?
Yes, you can go monitor out into a camera's mic in!
Thinking about plugging my guitar and mic into the amp and then the amp into the mixer. Like this I have reverb etc.??
The Pro sounds great. I just want a battery-powered mixer that I can take outside with my monologue and PO-32 and whatever.
You know what? I think I found an even better solution for my needs: The Bastl Dude. For $89, I can't pass it up.
Did you say the original go mixer can't be used for PA system or speakers, can I not place the PA system cord into the headphone output?...or is it not powerful enough?
The Go mixer can run directly with power bank as well
Thank you kindly for the rundown. I don't need phantom power myself so I won't bother upgrading.
One other catch with an iOS device is you'd still need to plug it in if you want a stereo mix, since the mic jack is mono.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Boo ! 🔥❤️
Nice comparison. Thanks for that!
Thanks for the video. Kisses from Brazil
Good review. You got the battery power (independent of use smartphone) right! Others didn't.
Can the original go mixer work with usb c android phones if you have a micro usb to usb c cable
Nope, u need an adapter
Really helpful, thank you!

Works well with Korg Gadget app
That moment when you’re looking for Go Mixer videos and stumble across a familiar face from Steemit.

Hi! I want to ask you: how good is the go mixer pro to make youtube live videos? or instagram live videos?
its good, the cable is a bit flaky after a while though
@@JAdeWii_ Well, thank you very much for the feedback! Cheers!
Great vid!!! Thanks!
awesome informative video, thanks!!!
شكراً جزيلاً
Hey Jade, you made me buy a hardware today! I also dont have computer, and I like hardware so much better, eeeeiiiither way, thank yaw
Can the Zoom H4N also record video via a connected phone, like the Roland Go Mixer Pro can?
WOW! I NEED THIS!!!!
Hi Jade, question: are the cords included with the Pro longer than what they bundled with the original?
No, still short cables :( they did throw in a cable for the new iphones though!
I see that you use MK3. I am using the MK2. Is it possible to use both Serato and NI MK2 at the same time with this for a live stream on RUclips?
I've never used serato so cant say!
@@JAdeWii_ what about the MK3?
Hi, I have a Roland Go: Mixer, I have one question, when I do live streaming on Facebook or RUclips, the live video only broadcasts the sound in MONO, not stereo, do you know why that is?
Facebook and RUclips only use mono for audio due to lower bandwitdth, so even if you record in stereo when listening online you will only hear mono.
@@flatlandcircuitry Thanks, so do you know how we can achieve LIVE video with stereo sound?

You can plug the monitor instead of headphones. Or use some audio splitter to get both.
how to fix out of sync audio/video on roland go mixer? I am using an akai force>Rolandgo>android S7
Nice review, I'm just trying to figure out if possible to plug in 4 mics for a podcast.. And advice would be great
Did you ever find out? I’m in the same situation
Hello Jade,
Total newbie here.

Thanks in advance.
I've never tried it that way so can't say. I know they just made a new one specially for that so I would look into that!
@@JAdeWii_ , Thanks, Jade.
Can‘t you use the old Go with a USB battery pack? That‘d be enough for me.
*Mind explodes*
yup
Yonga‘s Tidbits exactly what i do
Yonga‘s Tidbits I don't think so .. but if possible you have to use the powerbank should be exact positive 5 volts supply ..
Wow....can this be done with a USB battery pack for sure?! If so, then wow no need for the phone!
I just love your eyebrows
I just got mine and am trying to use it with my Android (tecno spark) But it doesn't recognize it.

do they work with usb c cables for android or iphone?
Awesome video, thumbs up!
The pro holds your phone
Can you connect the mixer to your computer?
Yes
There is someone who knows that if the Roland go mixer pro works fine with a Moto G8 plus on android 9 or 10?

Yes!
Dawless Jammin' how?
@@laith55se if you want to put them into the same part then just get a Y connector and send the audio from both boards to the input
Isn't the Go:MixerPRO's design kinda stolen from the Bastel DUDE ? Dunno if anyone has brought this up earlier.
but no mic and no USB. so I can't use the Bastl

Skip the Go mixer and start with the pro!
Espanish please
Practicamente son iguales sino que el Pro puede usar microfono de v48 y tomar baterias
you look like my wife
Very cool
Fine but while go mixer pro is running through your phone even with batteries on the go mixer pro you can’t charge your phone at the same time as your using charger port to attach the two devices
Yeah, that a big con for me. If they had a power supply it'd be great - no worrying about batteries or phone charge.
