VB-Audio Matrix: The Ultimate Windows Audio Router
VB-Audio just released a new piece of software called VB-Audio Matrix. VB-Audio Matrix a simple real-time audio router for Windows much like Voicemeeter, but solely focused on audio routing without any built-in effects and other audio processing. It is capable of routing any source and individual audio channel separately. In this video I'll give a quick overview over this new application and the general use.
The video covers the following topics:
- How to connect different audio devices (ASIO, WDM (WASAPI) / KS / MME) to the matrix
- How to route audio between different audio channels

    As of May 31, 2024, under Windows 10/11 (64-bit), VoiceMeeter now installs a new single virtual audio driver offering 8x virtual audio I/O. The three regular virtual outputs are now displayed with the BUS Name, so you will need to reselect the recording device in all your applications that previously used it. From OLD to NEW: new vaio extension - the outputs are: VoiceMeeter Out A1 through A5. For the old VAIO drivers, the new mappings are as follows: VoiceMeeter Output > VoiceMeeter Out B1, VoiceMeeter Aux Output > VoiceMeeter Out B2, and VoiceMeeter VAIO3 Output = VoiceMeeter Out B3. Go to your PC's Control Panel, click on Hardware and Sound, then click on Sound, and review or change your selections. :)

    For those watching now, it looks like the voicemeter outputs are now individually labeled a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, b1, b2, b3 in system sound settings. Per the example shown in this video, the dedicated mic channel would now be B1, and the Mixed Mic/Audio for obs would be b2.

    • @NavyTheNerd
      @NavyTheNerd Місяць тому

      You are right, in new releases you can enable the VAIO Extension through Menu --> VAIO Extension License. This way you don't need to install additional cables and can use the shipped virtual interfaces directly as input and output on the physical channels in voicemeeter.

      You can use field "Title Value" from the Advanced Toggle for that. Just set that to the parameter you wanna query from voicemeeter and it will be used as the button title, e.g. "strip[0].gain" will display the current gain as the title.

    • @NavyTheNerd
      @NavyTheNerd 3 місяці тому

      i dont know if audio effects are applied to the monitor output in reaper, but if so, you can route your audio like this: mic -> matrix -> reaper -> matrix -> teams. but i would strongly discourage you from using any daw not built for that purpose for applying any audio effects in a live environment. if would suggest using a vst host to apply audio effects through vst plugins. for that purpose you can try lighthost or cantabile. or if you just need a baseic noise gate and compressor, maybe give voicemeeter a try.

    I'm using it with VoiceMeeter and the combination is excellent. I've been using VoiceMeeter for routing and level control in a complex configuration of radios, but there is a signal which contains unrelated information on the two (left and right) channels. I wanted to split these out to two separate mono signals and VoiceMeeter does not do that well. Matrix makes it easy - and I can add some additional gain which I needed as well. A question - is there any API into Matrix? I control my configuration from an external program that calls the VoiceMeeter API - it would be really good to be able to select Matrix patches from that program too! Martin

You comment that there are good videos out there, but I haven't found anything interesting that works with Voicemeeter Potato and these options (mostly focused on the microphone). Do you have any video that you could recommend on this topic? Thanks for your time, very nice work!

    • @NavyTheNerd
      @NavyTheNerd 6 місяців тому

      basically every tutorial should work. there is nothing special about using the voicemeeter compressor and eq. you just need to learn the basics of what the ratio, attack time and release time do and for the eq you need to understand what a eq does. In the end you need to identify what you want to change in your audio recordings. e.g. if you think your lacking presence then you need to boost higher frequencies a little, but in the end its testing, understanding and a lot of experience of how different frequencies influence sound.
