GoXLR

The GoXLR and GoXLR Mini are USB audio mixers with hardware faders and virtual routing for streamers and creators.

TC-Helicon no longer distributes the official GoXLR desktop app for Windows (it was removed from their site and updates stopped). To configure the hardware today, most people use GoXLR Utility, an unofficial cross-platform project led by FrostyCoolSlug (frostycoolslug), the developer who kept the ecosystem alive after the official software went away. It is not affiliated with TC-Helicon; use it at your own discretion and read the project LICENSE.

Which file on GitHub Releases? (Windows)

On the latest release, open Assets. Several downloads are listed for different platforms only one is the normal Windows installer:

  • Download: goxlr-utility-x.y.z.exe (the version numbers change). It is the only .exe in the list this is the Windows installer.
  • Ignore for normal Windows setup: .rpm / .deb (Linux), macos-…-intel.pkg / macos-…-m1.pkg (macOS), and Source code archives (those are for developers, not for installing the app).

PowerShell helper script

This site hosts a script that downloads the driver ZIP above and the latest Windows .exe from GitHub, then runs the installers. Run PowerShell as Administrator, swap the URL for your documentation site (same host as in the browser, path /scripts/goxlr-install.ps1), then run:

powershell
irm 'https://docs.ibrhub.net/scripts/goxlr-install.ps1' | iex

To run without colors (plain text), iex does not forward parameters, so compile the downloaded script into a script block first:

powershell
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm 'https://docs.ibrhub.net/scripts/goxlr-install.ps1'))) -NoColor

If you already saved goxlr-install.ps1 locally (for example after cloning this repo), run it elevated from that folder:

powershell
Set-Location "$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Temp\GoXLR-Installers"
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\goxlr-install.ps1

After install

Launch GoXLR Utility from the Start menu. The UI runs in your browser or in the optional desktop wrapper, depending on what you chose during setup.

UI preview

The utility’s UI is intentionally close to the old official app so existing profiles feel familiar. You can import profiles from the official app’s folder (often Documents/GoXLR) using the folder icon in the profile pane. See the project README on GitHub for step-by-step detail.

Questions, bugs, and Windows-specific discussion are best handled in the project’s Discord and GitHub issues, not by IBRA Docs. This page only collects entry links so you can get running quickly.
