IF YOU’VE EVER tried to mix audio digitally, you’ll know that it can be an absolute nightmare. It’s achievable to set up a working streaming setup with nothing more than a mic, some software, and a dream, but be prepared to have to sacrifice easy-to-use sound settings on your PC to get it done. The other option is an external mixing device, like this Razer Audio Mixer.
There are many mixers on the market, and the Razer Audio Mixer is a lot like one of the most popular today, the GoXLR Mini. I’ve used both, and they share a relatively similar shape, button layout, and connectivity. They’re a match in most ways, bar software support. The Razer Audio Mixer is controllable via Razer’s Synapse app, which offers output mixing, routing, and mixing for a range of inputs.
From the app, you can choose which audio sources to map to the four fader slide controls on the Audio Mixer itself. By default, you’ve got Mic, Game, Chat, and Music. If you set Windows up to use each of these channels properly, you can use them to balance your whole PC’s audio with these hardware controls alone. That’s pretty neat if you’re tired of fiddling with Discord and in-game volume controls for every game or friend you’re playing with regularly.
