3/23/2023 0 Comments Audio meeter![]() ![]() VoiceMeeter allows you to manage your audio device inputs, what channels they output to, and the sources on the receiving end from one location. Some people simply don’t have the desk space. While nothing beats having physical nobs, switches, and faders. ![]() This is great option especially if you have limited space to work with like I do. Since VoiceMeeter is a virtual mixer, there’s no need to take up desk space with a conventional physical mixer. I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit more about it. In my impression on the Blue Snowball Microphone, I mentioned that I had used it in conjunction with a virtual audio mixer called VoiceMeeter in order to enhance my overall sound quality. All images (unless stated otherwise) are owned by VB-Audio and not the author.* Think of this as just another customer review. VB-Audio is in no way affiliated with nor sponsoring this blog post. You can then send B1 to output A1, A2 or A3, or a combination of the three.*The opinions expressed in the blog in no way reflect the opinions of VB-Audio. What you need to remember is that anything you want to be mixed together with your Windows audio, you send to the B1 channel. Why is this important? You don't necessarily want your stream to hear audio from certain inputs, and you certainly don't want your stream audio doubling up with your Windows audio and going to the same speakers. B2 is your stream audio, that is, everything that gets sent to your viewers via software like XSplit and OBS. B1 is all your Windows audio (remember earlier setting Voicemeeter Input as the default playback device) and should be set up in such a way that you're going to be hearing sound from whatever outputs you connected to your PC. But then we get to the virtual inputs.Īs I'm looking at this from a streaming perspective, the colored boxes above demonstrate how to approach the B1 and B2 virtual inputs. Audio goes into the PC, then goes out to the speakers or headphones you tell it to. So far we've set up mostly hardware (and fake hardware). You're telling the Xbox app that you want the audio to go down a cable input to an audio device, and Voicemeeter Banana to pull the output from that cable. In the second hardware input, simply select the corresponding item, noting it is now labeled as Cable Output. In the case of the Xbox app, my output for the party chat is set as Cable Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable). The next can be anything you like, hardware or software.To do this with the Xbox app or Skype or Discord, you simply need to tell the relevant app to use the virtual cable as its output. Your first hardware input should be your microphone (remembering to match WDM or MME. This is great for streamers to integrate Skype or Teamspeak or Discord, or in my case, I'm setting it up to pull in Xbox party chat from the Xbox app on my PC. Thanks to the virtual cable, you can tell Voicemeeter Banana to treat an application on your PC like a piece of hardware and deliver it into the mixer. The difference is that an input doesn't have to be hardware. If you want more, throw the developer some money and stack them up. Grabbing the free virtual audio cable detailed above comes into play here, as it presents you with an extra input you can use. Selecting an input device is exactly the same as selecting outputs, but you do it on the left of the window. The slider has a ton of range for getting volume just right, but you can also mute each individually, add EQ settings, or go from stereo to mono if you wish. So WDM for WDM or MME for MME.Įach individual audio output can be controlled with the slider and adjacent controls in the bottom right of the Voicemeeter Banana window. That goes for audio input devices, too input and output need to match. But you always need to make sure you're consistent. Select the audio device with WDM by it first, and if you have any issues try MME instead. ![]() You'll also notice that everything is there twice, prefaced by either WDM or MME (there are others but these are the two we care about right now). In my case, I have a set of desktop speakers, a pair of headphones and a gaming headset all connected to an output.Ĭlick on the relevant output and you'll be presented with a list of everything that's connected to your PC that can handle audio. You can have three separate pieces of hardware that Voicemeeter can send audio to. The colored boxes in the image above show you which correlates with which. There are three outputs (A1, A2, and A3), with corresponding controls. In order to hear audio from your PC, you'll need to set up any hardware you have for the job. First, let's look at the output device area of Voicemeeter Banana. ![]()
