GO XLR User Manual

5.  App Basics

Be aware that all audio processing happens in the GO XLR unit itself. The GO XLR 

unit’s processing and settings may be coordinated and controlled from your 

computer via the GO XLR app, but all audio is manipulated in GO XLR and 

therefore does not take up processing headroom in your computer.

5.1  The GO XLR App Interface

The GO XLR App’s interface breaks down into three main areas: Profile/Sample/

Preset Management, Live View Area, and Processing Tabs.

GO XLR App interface

5.2  Profile/Sample/Preset Management

The Profile/Sample/Preset Management area in the upper left area of the app 

interface contains these tabs:

• 

Profile Tab

—Located in the top-left corner, this area is where you can 

create profiles that store all the settings you need for particular tasks. For 

example, by clicking on a profile, you can instantly load all of the routing, 

level and processing settings you need, as well as any customized color 

schemes and samples.

• 

Samples Tab

—This tab is where you manage samples. Any samples you 

have recorded “in the box” will live in this tab, and all sample will appear 

time-stamped and dated, so you know when you created a sample. These 

dated samples can be re-named later. This tab also has a file management 

option so you can look through other folders and locations to find and pull in 

samples created elsewhere.

• 

Presets Tab

—This area handles presets for your vocal effects section. 

You can create and save new presets here and then load them up into GO XLR 

when desired. Presets can also be dragged and dropped inside the app.
