• Exit Actions, including saving profiles and loading other profiles / lighting
• Multiple Device Support. Run more than one GoXLR on one PC
• A CLI and API for basic or advanced scripting and automation
• Streamdeck Integration (through The StreamDeck Repository)

Downloads

Downloads are available on the Releases Page under the 'Assets' header, we currently provide the following files:

• .exe files, usable on Windows¹
• .pkg files, usable on MacOS, both Intel and M1 based packages are available²
• .deb files, usable on Debian based systems (Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS, etc)

OS / Distro Specific Notes

• Arch users can install the goxlr-utility package from AUR
• Fedora Atomic or Bazzite users please check the instructions here
• Windows users can also aquire the GoXLR Utility via winget

¹ Windows requires the official device drivers provided by TC-Helicon. If you have the official app installed you don't need to do anything, otherwise download the latest drivers from TC-Helicon's website here.

² MacOS support is still somewhat experimental, and the package may conflict with the existing GoXLR-MacOS project as they attempt to do the same thing in certain situations.

Integrations

• twitchat - Activate and change GoXLR settings based on twitch bits / donations (Thanks Durss!)
• OBS Fader Sync - An OBS plugin to sync pre-mix volumes to fader volumes (Thanks parzival!)
• Home Assistant - A plugin that lets you tie the GoXLR into your home automation (Thanks timmmo!)

Getting Started

Once installed, you can launch the Utility using the GoXLR Utility item in your Applications Menu, this will launch the utility and configuration UI. The UI will then be accessible via the system tray icon, or (if you don't have a tray) by re-running the GoXLR Utility menu item.

If you're running on Linux, a first configuration step should be to enable Autostart on Login via System -> Settings. Windows users will get the choice during installation. If you change your mind, you can change the setting.

If you want to import your profiles from the official app, simply click on the folder icon in the top right of the relevant profiles pane (either Main or Mic) which will open the directory in your file browser. Copy the profile across from the Official App's directory (normally Documents/GoXLR) and they'll appear in the util ready to load, simply double click them.

If you're setting up from scratch, the best place to start is configuring your microphone. Head over to the Mic tab and hit Mic Setup to configure your microphone type and gain. It may be easier to configure if you first set your Gate Amount to 0, then reconfigure it once your mic is working. Once done, go explore the UI!

The UI

The Utility's UI is web based and served directly from the utility to your web browser of choice (if configured, it can also be served to a web browser on another computer). The Utility also provides an 'Application' which wraps the web UI into a dedicated app. If you're using the Utility on Windows this option is presented to you during install. The UI design was modelled around the official application in an attempt to provide a familiar interface for those moving from Windows to other platforms, rather than forcing people to learn a new configuration paradigm.

If you're running on Linux, the 'Application' isn't provided as part of the base utility installation. If you'd prefer to use it, check out the GoXLR UI Repository, which provides various builds for distributions. Once installed, you should be able to go to System -> Utility Settings and change the UI Handler there.

Building

Build instructions and other useful information can be found on the project's wiki. While it's a little sparse at the moment, over time it should grow, and requests / feedback are always welcome!
