Set up your GoXLR.

Quick start

Extract the ZIP and install the package for your operating system. Windows needs the TC-Helicon driver. After installing, connect your GoXLR by USB, open the Utility, and select your device.

Set up your microphone

In the Microphone tab, choose the type of microphone you connected. Set gain while talking at your normal volume and watch the meter for clipping. Adjust the gate, compressor, and EQ after gain is set.

Configure audio routing

Assign playback apps to GoXLR inputs such as Game, Music, or Chat in your OS. In the Utility’s Routing tab, select which outputs should receive each input. Start with headphones, then configure Broadcast Mix and Chat Mic.

For a separate stream balance, enable submixes if your device supports them and assign your broadcast output to Mix B.

Import device and mic profiles

Open the folder from the Device Profiles or Microphone Profiles pane. Copy in the matching .goxlr or .goxlrMicProfile file, then load it in the Utility. Save your current profile first if you want to return to it.

Configure voice effects

On the full-size GoXLR, open the Effects tab. Select a bank, enable FX, and monitor your mic while adjusting pitch, gender, echo, or reverb. Save the device profile to keep your settings.

Use the sampler

On the full-size GoXLR, open the Sampler tab and choose a bank. Load or record a clip and trigger it from its assigned hardware pad.

Troubleshoot a missing device

Check the USB cable and power supply where applicable, then restart the Utility. On Windows, check that the GoXLR driver is installed and the TC-Helicon app is closed.

Control the Utility from another app

The local daemon exposes a JSON API for device status, fader settings, routing, and profiles.
