- I've used Voicemeeter as amazing audio mixer for the past few years. Other poular choices like the GoXlr and the GoXlr mini are awesome pieces of equipment, but are very pricey. Give Voicemeeter a shot, it's my favorite audio mixer I have used. Also let me know if you want a video about useful plugins or a tutorial on Voicemeeter!

This isn’t a tutorial tho. It’s a comparison.
Voicemeter is truly the free man's tool. But what's been my issue with it over the years was lotsa frustration. It was either confusing enough to take up hours of my time or wasn't compatible with my hardware. Find a way to make it simple to setup and I'd kiss ya. Maybe I'd try it again.
Yeah it’s definitely not the easiest to set up. I may end up making a tutorial simplifying it, but there are so many tutorials on it idk how the video would do
dont have issues with it as far as just running it for simple use. i use my usb headset thru it. my gripe and issue though is that its a app. so if i want to turn something down i have to exit out and open that. a mixer would be nice to run things thru. so you can turn those off as needed. like if game is loud, turn that down if want to hear discord, etc.
You are literally, and i mean literally the best youtube tutorial-er-er i've ever seen
Thank you thank you I appreciate the love
You are the best man
I gave up but you didn't that's the thing I like about this channel
Just gotta keep grinding
@@JacQ2 Yeah But i gotta study as well man
But you know your content is fire
Thanks man I appreciate it
Also check your microphone requirements. If you use a dynamic microphone odds are you won't need a mixer just a cable that goes from xlr to 3.5mm to go straight into your computer microphone port. But this depends because some dynamic microphones can be very gain hungry so you'll just have to check if a certain microphone needs a mixer for that extra gain . If you plan on using a condenser microphone you might need a other mixer than the Behringer one in this video as the cheaper Behringer mixers don't deliver proper 48 volts phantom power that most condenser microphones need. This video is great but still do your research and make sure it fits your needs .
Very true
Been using voicemeeter for a while and it is great. The only thing is getting latency down, for me at least, I have never been able to get the latency down.
Yeah I’ve heard people have had issues with that. I’m not sure what to tell you since I haven’t had them
I should clarify too, it is less than half a second, but the small audiophile part of me goes nuts haha
Ahhh I see, that’s not as bad
I have that latency problem too with VM Potato plus, i wanted to use VST plugins for Noisegate and something, but with it i have more latency then before.
For this reason, i bought a Behringer QX1204 used at ebay and a behringer XM 8500 to try another way with my audio.
I want to get my audio out of my pc, in the mixer and back to my pc so i can mix my audiotracks seperately .
I hope, this text was right, because im a german guy! :D
Have a nice day and i hope all your dreams come true!
voicemeeter seems great at first but the problem is with a 2 pc set up i had COUNTLESS issues, lots of times i would have it set up perfectly, then go live and something wouldnt work, mess with the settings for 20mins and eventually put all the settings back to how they were originally and it would magically start working. nightmare.
Damn I’ve never had that issue, sorry to hear about that. Possibly some things could be set up differently
The problem with Voicemeeter is the delay, which if you want to be competitive while streaming is huge draw back. A 5ms delay doesn’t sound bad until you die from footsteps in the past
Adding this to my how to grow series for budget software to get started thank you 🙏🏿
Glad you like it that much!!
@@JacQ2 Yessir I've had the sound issues myself. 🙏🏿
My favorite thing about Voicemeeter is when it becomes a system hog mid stream and my computer stops working. Also, love hitting restart audio engine 10 times a day.
Wow, I’ve never had issues like that. It guess it works differently on different pc’s
@DQItWithBrad oh your right since you have no problems mine is fine. In fact it added an extra core to my PC. Amazing
Maybe your computer is just old. If you have a computer newer than 2015 you really shouldn't have any problems.
@@VideoJamesShow You seem mentally stable
The reason people want mixers is to have quick physical access to level adjustment. If they wanted something that is software controlled, they'll just use the already existing windows mixer....ffs
For some that is true. Personally I needed something to organize my audio. Basically record in separate audio tracks and adjust volumes separately. More of a streaming and video editing tool for myself
under rated video, great info and to the point, really the info people are looking for or need to hear. maybe change the title from "My" to "The" TOP Audio Mixer Info for Streaming & UA-cam
Not a bad idea. Glad you liked the video, hope it helped!
I'm half way through this video and it just occurred to me. This guy is the kid from back to the future II. Like he doesn't like baby toys where you have to use your hands like a child.
Lmao I haven’t seen that movie but you make me want to go watch it
@@JacQ2 stop everything and have a Back to the Future Double feature TONIGHT!! 1 and 2 back to back. You'll be so hopped up you can save 3 and the cartoon for the weekend.
Lmaoo very tempting
Trying this out. Thanks!
Nice, hope it works out for you!
dont get the goxlr... get the yamaha ... half the price... all the functionality...
I haven’t seen the Yamaha, I want to check it out
What yamaha?
I keep getting issues with voicemeeter like my audio output becomes "robotic" after a few minutes to hours and I have to restart it and sometimes it last for awhile and sometimes it constantly messes up.
I occasionally have that issue, it's a weird fix but try this.
Open Task Manager
Go to the Details tab
Find "audiodg.exe", right click it, Set priority then select High
Right Click audio.exe again and go to Set affinity, unselect all your processors except for one of them and hit okay
I usually have to do this when I restart my pc
Can you make video about properly configuring Voicemeeter Banana for dual PC streaming? Thanks.
I'll see what I can do!
hope you got what you want? its pretty easy. i use it cause my headset is a usb headset. but basically for your outputs, you select your headset as one so you can hear. and then select your capture card as the other. then of course on your streaming pc you would select your capture card as input (at least in streamlabs).
I am currently still planning out my hardware / software needs for a business meeting round table with Zoom and in person. I am thinking 3 USB microphones and was planning on using OSB to mix and send out to Zoom. I need VERY LITTLE special effects or options since it is just voice. Will Voicemeeter have any benefits over OSB as a mixer? I just discovered your great channel today, Thank You !👍
Great video, thanks for the information!
I've been using Voicemeeter for a while. The Intellipan makes the voice a little muddy.
Yeah it can, it just depends how you like your audio
Hey dude, can I hire you?
Sorry I’m too busy right now and can’t take more on. I’ll let you know if something changes though! Thanks for the offer!
I got a stream deck for Christmas and I'm trying to find a way to combine the sound input of my microphone and the Stream Deck so that I can play it on Discord. I tried voice meter but the sounds came out faded. I'm wondering if I did something wrong, and if not then I would like to know what the cheapest hardware alternative is. (both are usb inputs)
Sorry for the delayed response. You’re saying the sound effect is quite? If so you may want to put the noise gate on your mic then combine the two audio devices. If you have both going into the same track, then apply a noise gate it will apply to both.
I would totally get the goxlr, however how would I use that with so many different outputs I have for streaming? All I have is my mic going into the PC, infact I have 2, and the second one is going in through a usb from the valve index. The rest is like, sammi, streamlabs, vtuber, shoutouts, the game, trigger fyre, etc. Would I need a 2 PC setup?
Give this man some thumbs up 😁
I appreciate the love
Like dude!!!!! Again! Hugs
I appreciate it
Sir, is it possible for u to help me built it bec i dont kno anything abt it litterally, thank u
What if you need a audio mixer to connect xlr to computer. Then you will need a xlr connetion and then you can also regulte with the compression and stuff. People wont get it, only for the mixing.
Yeah I said in the video you may still need an audio interface, but you can add compression with a lot of different software
Would you be able to use an audio interface to get the computer to understand the XLR microphone and then use VoiceMeeter to mix the audio?
Yes that is the setup I have
u saved me money by stating the obvious.. thx man good honest video.
Glad it helped!
my audio is never synced up with the video so i quit using voicemeter years ago
Yeah I’ve heard some people have issues with it, but I never have
It’s not like you’re saying...physical mixer with a usb interface you can control with physical knobs...
What?
@@JacQ2 in video you say that you need 2 cables to control with a mixer sound in pc. Well that’s true for a normal regular mixer without usb interface.... instead, there are mixers with usb interface, and they can provide a better solution to manage sounds. Voicemeter is awesome, but alt-tabbing in middle of a stream multiple times, to control the audio? You can but it is highly dangerous
Well by two cables I meant one coming from an xlr mic into the mixer and one going from the mixer to the pc. I never really found myself needing to constantly adjust voicemeeter while streaming, but if you think you're gonna adjust the settings mid game it's probably not for you
Does it work for dual pc
It can, it just depends on how you have different audio cables hooked up
Is there any other apps like voicemeter? Because I have problems with voicemeter
There probably are, but I’m not aware of any off the top of my head
Voicemeter, OBS and livestreaming...fumes coming out of my head...Trust me, Hardware and software is day and night when you want to think, switch on and record. Easy as that, minor issues of connection to make vs setup voicemeter and test every single thing.
Huh?
I understand what he is saying to a degree. He is lumping obs voicemeter and livestreaming in the same category being software base audio. In my opinion even tho they are software they are not the same. Your stream sound is controlled by obs your obs is controlled by voicemeter. voicemeter controles all audio. Software vs hardware you still got to go through all your audio before starting stream both can mess up now i can only speak on my experience i dont own any hardware but i own voicemeter potato. Its a good audio software its cheap it does what its supposed to. But the draw backs are it does take up some space if you are running a single pc setup and if you are multi tasking audio (game discord mic music ext) than it does tend to shit itself not all the time just at inconvenient times. Some games are very picky with the audio slots.
I've been using voice meter for years now and I can honestly say... it fucking sucks. It's always fucking up and you have to restart it constantly. Even if the go xlr was $1000 it'd be worth every penny to not deal with voicemeter.
I’ve heard mixed feelings with voicemeter. Personally I have very few problems, but I’ve also heard stories like yours. I guess it depends on how many issues you have and how much the equipment is worth to you
You're the best
Thanks for the support!
hey bro i am a youtuber and i have problems with my mic beacuse it always buzz how can i fix it it will really help me a lot. should i use a program to calm it or what please help me !
It could be a lot of things, but installing a program to use won't automatically fix it. It could be picking up background noise, a bad mic, or a billion other things. I'd look up some videos specifically on your mic, if you can't find any you may need a new mic to get the buzzing to stop. Hopefully this helps, it's hard to troubleshoot without a lot of details lol
@@JacQ2 thanks man i just bought new headsets g2000 but is still the same . if you know how to fix this thing will mean a lot to me
You can try setting up a noise gate on obs, also make sure you don’t have a lot of background noise
GO XLR isnt an option anymore sadly :/
Amazon still has GoXlr both regular and mini as of 9/8/23. $380 and $218 respectively.
@@brucejohnson5568I thought goXlr shutdown their company
imo hardware will always beat software
It depends to me, cost and quality of the equipment/software are the biggest factors
Voicemeter adds delay unfortunately.
Interesting, I haven’t had that issue
@@JacQ2 This is unavoidable. Software means delays. Sad you didn't cover up those facts...
I figured he meant a noticeable delay, like 0.25sec - 0.5sec. I agree there will be some, but the amount has been extremely unnoticeable for myself
@@JacQ2 I unfortunately notice it when playing fps games
Will it work for a dual streaming pc
Yes, that will require some hardware and different inputs though. It’s hard to tell you what you need bc I don’t know the set up your have / are going for
@@JacQ2 Ok Ty
Voicemeeter is not free at all the software has a timer and it would cut my audio in important moments.
That hasn’t been the case for me, unless they recently changed it. Or if they did it a long time ago
When voicemeeter is not available for Mac ;-;
I’m sorry gamer :(
is there a similar item for mac?
Do you mean like the program voicemeeter? If so, I’ve heard of some but never used them
Do I have to pay for the Go X LR app? if i do, where do i buy it?
You don’t pay for the app, but it doesn’t work unless you have a Go XLR
One word,,,,"Yamaha MG10XU".
I mean if you want to spend $220 go for it lmao
what about for a 2 pc setup??
Depends on your setup, but you can route audio with cables to the streaming pc
@@JacQ2 without the physical mixer right?
It's possible, but its hard to give you advice when I don't know your setup
@@JacQ2 ok thanks anyway
@@jbaby1428 no problem, sorry I couldn't help more
I can't stand Voicemeeter, it fucks up the audio for my entire PC. And on top of that, it doesn't recognise certain programs meaning I can't use it anyway.
Damn, I’ve never heard of that happening. Sorry that is messes with your rig so bad
Holy shit bro this whole video was so much yapping. Bunch of talking no actual substance to this video. Could’ve made this 30 second vid dude…
