Is the Go:Mixer Studio worth it?

It is worth it if you stream or record from a phone and need to mix a mic, instrument and phone audio in one small box. If you record mainly on a computer, a standard audio interface costs less.

How does it compare with the original Go:Mixer?

The Studio adds USB-C, MIDI connectivity and higher 24-bit/192kHz recording over the earlier Go:Mixer. It is the better pick for newer phones and for anyone who needs MIDI.

Does it need batteries or a power adapter?

No. It is bus-powered over USB-C from the connected phone, tablet or computer, so there is no battery or wall adapter to manage.

What comes in the box?

The box includes the Go:Mixer Studio, a USB-C cable and documentation. Check the listing for any bundled adapter or cable variants.

Which phones and apps does it work with?

It works with USB-C phones and tablets and with computers, and with apps that accept a USB audio input. Lightning devices need an appropriate adapter.
