Tools for GoXLR profiles

What the official app cannot do: tell you what is wrong with your setup and your settings, work out the right ones by measuring your actual room and voice, and let you hear them before you commit.

FX Presets

Every preset decoded: the seven-block chain lit where it acts, what it does to a voice in plain words, its intensity and tags, and the file to download. Factory, community and generated, each labelled as such.

Mic Calibrator

Checks the capture chain and the room, measures your keyboard and your voice, then derives gate, compressor, gain, de-esser and a ten-band EQ placed on your voice. Hear it, compare it with what you have, download it.

In the order that actually produces a good voice

1 · DiagnoseCapture bandwidth, room decay, breath on the capsule, keyboard vs speech. No setting fixes these; they come first.

2 · GainSuggested only, off by default: the official app has no mic meter to anchor to, so gate and compressor are derived from differences that need no anchor.

3 · GateFrom measured noise and speech, with the trade-off — how much keyboard you tolerate to keep quiet words — left to you.

4 · CompressorFrom the crest factor, which needs no anchoring. Ordinary speech passes; the loud parts are caught.

5 · EQ, placedTen movable bands laid out around your fundamental and on your measured peaks — the most under-used thing this hardware does.

6 · CharacterWarm, deep, broadcast, bright — scaled back wherever your voice has no room for it.

Why measure instead of recommend

Most GoXLR advice is someone else's numbers copied from a video. But a gate threshold depends on your room, a gain setting on your mic, and “body” for an 83 Hz voice sits nowhere near where it sits for a 140 Hz voice. Numbers that are right for one person are frequently wrong for the next. So these tools measure and decode, name what they find, and explain every number they produce.

Where the ceiling is

The GoXLR mic chain is a gate without hold, a compressor without knee control, a one-knob de-esser and ten peaking bands at ±9 dB. No high-pass filter, no shelves, no saturation. It does gating, clean compression and corrective EQ well, and that is what these tools drive. The warmth people describe comes first from a well-placed mic and a quiet room, then from gentle compression, and only last from the equaliser — which is why the calibrator diagnoses before it prescribes, and says so when the physical setup is the problem.

A gate cannot remove a keystroke that lands while you are speaking. When your keyboard and your quiet words are within 6 dB, the calibrator says so and protects the speech.
Most mic profiles saved on a full-size GoXLR carry no Mini EQ data and load flat on a Mini. The analyser derives the 6-band curve from the 10-band one.
Louder always sounds better, so the audition matches loudness before you compare.
