    Seems great so far. You can now add VST plugins via Wave Link, which means you can do a lot of the things that the GoXLR can do for streaming (audio effects, etc)

    Great sound quality, you do need to be closer to the mic for the best quality. Highly recommend a boom and pop filter.

    I love the capacitive mute touch button and simplicity of the mic. What I don’t like is the lights always keep turned on even when I turn off my computer! Don’t know how to fix this.
