Hey all, I'm jdBlut! Welcome to my channel! I'm on a journey to re-discover guitar, while bringing some dry wit and my brand of humour along for the ride. I play mostly metal and industrial, but my most successful band was a blues gig. So obviously, I need work in multiple genres.
Spank the subscribe button, ring the bell, leave likes and comments where you see fit. My slightly enlarged heart would appreciate it.

You were absolutely the bridge between having just the clean tone into Voicemeeter to actually putting it through the DAW, thank you so much I never would have thought to use the patch insert section
this was awesome for clarifying the few hang ups i had with this
Man, that's the best explication i ever seen about insert virtual in this platform, thx for this content dude!
Thanks dude! you are a super boss. I don't know how you figured that out.
Mine was still glitching but worked when reinstalled asio.
Still you helped so much to understand.
I wanna try the DAW thing too.
So glad I could help!
That worked!! Now I can play along UA-cam videos with Guitar rig 5. Thank you so much!!
Woo! Happy to help!
You sir are a frickin genius, not kidding! Iv been struggling between my pc, voicemeeter, reason daw, I RIG and the god dam amp sim for over a month now and you my friend showed me the one tiny hidden @#$%$^ switch that fixed it.
I just don't know how to express my appreciation to you, let be simple thanks, thanks a lot
you are a legend! Thanks!
This was a life saver thanks. I was using BiasFX2 for the guitar insert and got terrible crackling, but I changed all the audio sample rates to 48000 and that seemed to fix everything.
bro im using bias fx 2 too. can you help me from discord please? my discord is Adahan#2184
you saved me dude, THANKS!
Thanks bro you help me alot
hi I am using behringer umc22 and I cannot get guitar input on voicemeeter banana using the above settings, it is not detecting guitar signal, I am using it with VSThost. My mic is working great and I can hear all desktop sounds.
Please. Tell me how you do this new setup with reaper
You can’t be a nerd and a goth but you can be gotherd, it’s science
Hey there! I'm currently using the Scarlet Solo 3rd gen and i followed your tutorial through to the end but i can't get my guitar audio to play, Any advice on what to do?
i think i did all of this right but i still only hear the raw audio
Fiddled around with Potato Meter a few months ago for streaming, then got rid of it. I thought, maybe if I get another Focusrite, that should do the trick! Yeah, no... Because you can't get two of this Audiointerfaces work on the same machine. But even if you use two different PCs (or PC and laptop) it's kinda bullocks. Because you want stereo output via your standalone VST amp (and in many cases you only have a 2i2, so mic and another mono channel). :D
Ox sounds like Axe. Thank you so much for this. I have a live stream for a cancer fundraiser in 11 days and I was panicking. You have saved my neck bro. Much love!
So I can hear my voice on channel 1 and my guitar on channel 2. I need to work out how to now stream this directly into Re-Stream that my friend is going to set up. Will he hear me differently to how I hear myself via the headphone plugged in my scarlett 2i2? My head is quite literally fried. I got nowhere until I watched your video right at the end of my thankless quest
@@thedbarchives You legend! Got a new sub!
How can you forward the audio (w/ the effects) to Discord?
I followed all of these steps but can’t figure out how to get it connected to OBS at the end. It only wants to pick up my mic and not the guitar.
how would one do this with banan
This worked great when I monitor the audio it sounds fine but when I use it in discord its all choppy and cutting out only the guitar my mic sounds find and I turned off everything to do with audio in discord
@@thedbarchives Okay how would I raise the buffer
When doing my patch inserts, would you know why my sound is distorted to an 8-bit style sound almost like Zelda hitting an enemy on NES?
There is a very real possibility that you need to increase your buffer size. I leave mine at 192 and that seems to have a good mix of quality with unnoticeable latency.
idk im having no luck when i monitor to hear my guitar in my daw and route it to hear in obs and voice meter im just getting a loud screeching feedback
Make sure to check your inputs in your DAW. That sounds like microphone feedback (done it plenty of times myself).
Great video ... I just got through the same setup and I have a touch of latency that's driving me nuts. What's your method with no latency (or very little)?
I messed with the buffer size until I got it to a point that didn't crackle (which VM can do at super low sizes) and the latency was manageable. If all else fails lower your sample rate to 44100. If it's there already, I don't really have a good answer.
Gotta love that Ouija Blanket!!
T H A N K Y O U !!!!!
This video was very good and I followed all the step. However the overall latency between the polychrome DSp suite was not good.
I am neophyte with all of this.
Honestly all I want is to be able to record me playing live while using the plugin right into OBS studio just like I record my desktop or my amp with mics.
Is it possible ??
Without knowing Polychrome at all, I can say you can record directly in OBS if it has a VST2 plugin. OBS doesn’t recognize VST3. So you could use OBS ASIO to route your dry guitar into OBS, add Polychrome as a plugin and it should work. You may still experience latency but that will be because OBS isn’t meant for complicated plugins. Alternatively, you could use ReaRoute from your DAW to do the same.
i have a daw called cakewalk by bandlabs and i want to play it through voicemeeter on discord for my friends how do i do it?
i have a m audio m track solo
@@thedbarchives Thank you for the detailed explanation but i played the video twice and understood the concept, i tried it and it worked! the video helped me itself thank you very much!❤️❤️ i hope you get more attention all the best!❤️
Which inputs and outputs do you use for obs and other programs?
There’s a couple different voice meeter options
@@thedbarchives ok so, when I have VAIO3 selected my mic works but my guitar does not. When aux output is selected my guitar works but my mic does not. I'm thinking I'd have to get VB Audio Cable but im not quite sure how that works
great. unfortunately i dont have a soundcard and my laptop has an input for microphone with a 3.5mm jack. so i use a 3.5mm jack to connect my guitar to pc and use a software like guitar rig to add effects to it. the problem is, when using asio4all, i cannot hear audio from any other sources, or use my mic to speak. im trying to find a way to use the input jack in my laptop as my guitar input. i've been looking for a solution for a long time and yet no hope...
update: well as i understood, it uses realtek hd audio as input and output. soooo, i realy dont know :| i gotta find a way to choose realtek hd audio input as the input to my chosen plugin so the guitar input goes to effect first, then set the output to voicemeeter. still dont know how.
try a diffenrent input in the asio software or reinstall
asio
Man I followed this a couple times and still couldn't hear anything but the raw signal with no control whatsoever via the computer. Only through the knobs on the front panel of my Audiobox96. Out of sheer frustration, in VM Potato I pulled up the setting screen and started clicking everything until I clicked in the lower right corner a blue text selecting pre vs post fader and BOOM!!! It came ALIVE!! Thank fucking God. I was about out of hair to pull out. Thought I would mention it in case someone else was unaware of that being a selection.
Thank you for sharing and I'm so happy you got it sorted! I realized much later that I didn't mention pre vs post - so thank you again for help!
@@thedbarchives No problem. It's here for the determined among us to find it in the comments.
Is it possible to tune a guitar via VM? Or now i'm realizing i should just get a guitar-centric plugin?
Not possible in VM. You need a guitar centric plugin, or a DAW or even a physical tuner. Whichever you can get your hands on.
@@thedbarchives thanks i hate the word plugin by the way when they are standalone programs hehe
i was able to do that in a easier way and no significant delay
but... welcome to the world of voicemeeter + guitar
i have no idea how it works but it works
I no longer use Voicemeeter at all. I found a way that better works with my workflow. Video coming soon. If you happen to remember your method, please post it and share with the rest of us.
@@thedbarchives kay, if i remember i'll post it here
I'm looking forwards to you new method too
is there any method to do that without a soundcard?
I have not tested that, but my guess would be no. Any solution without a sound card would produce far too much latency to be usable.
STL ToneHub is the best ampsim I ever tried!
What's the better low latency option for musicians? If you did a video on it can you link it? If not maybe you can help me based on this: I can't get my browser audio to come through my headphones anymore. It's registering in voicemeeter but not getting any actual output through my interface headphones. I hear my guitar but I'm not hearing any plug-in effects or audio from my web browser. I just wanted to be able to record (not even stream) whatever I was playing a long with AND my guitar separately in reaper..
Personally, I just stick to ReaRoute, haven't done a video on it just yet though.
If it's registering in Voicemeeter, check that you haven't accidentally turned off the output button (A1, A2, B1 etc). Since you can hear your guitar but not your plugins etc have you checked your audio interface's direct monitoring setting? I don't know why it would cut any audio out, but if you have a 3rd gen Focusrite anything (bad) is possible lol.
Let me know your setup, I might be able to tell you a bit more if I know exactly what you're using.
@@thedbarchives I have an Audient iD14. Not the MKII though so it doesn't have built in playback features, and I'm running into reaper and using guitar rig 6 from NI. I don't have ReaRoute which is weird cause I just updated recently. Thanks for responding so quickly
@@thedbarchives It's gotta be something with the interface because if I set A2 to my speakers, the output is fine but when I run it in A1 (ASIO) it doesn't even register in my iD14 mixer. The guitar does but not the browser audio that I see the input from dancing around teasing me. Lol also the input and output shows up in guitar rig but still no sound from guitar rig. Just the clean guitar from the interface. It's like it's bypassing the plugin even though the signal is registering. Weird
@@mr.yellowstrat3352 I'm sorry, I don't know enough about your interface to be much help. One thing to check is if the patch inserts in Voicemeeter are on. Also, Windows just did an update and that always messes with audio settings, may want to double-check your standard sound settings as well to see if anything changed.
@@thedbarchives No worries! I wound up figuring out a different method in reaper for what I was trying to do.
Dude, this software is so useful as consfusing... What a hell? How can they make something so difficult to understand?
I got a guitar, and I don't have an audio inteface, so, I got an line in p10/p2 adapter, that's how I'm connecting my guitar to computer. Also, I need to use the Asio4all to get less latency as possible. I'm trying to get it set up, but the problem is that I'm monitoring my guitar through the banana without wanting it.
Thanks for the video!!
I got a pretty annoying latency like 0.5 sec. What may cause this issue?
@@thedbarchives it was default 512. I will try to change it. Do you think it could be because of ASIO driver? I use focusrite ASIO driver. Is it stable?
@@thedbarchives Thanks
I understand buffer sizes and latency yet when I click "insert voicemeter virtual ASIO" on guitar rig it sounds horrible even maxing out the buffer size. Feels unfixable lol
Make sure you’re using Voicemeeter Potato and use “Insert Voicemeeter Potato Virtual ASIO”. That will activate the inserts and hopefully work.
@@thedbarchives Yes it worked! Genius! seems voicemeter banana and regular versions come with budget versions of the drivers even by the website description
what about latencies? its makes me crazy......
Without knowing anything about your setup, I would recommend setting your ASIO buffer somewhere between 128 and 256. It depends on your setup and in my experience VM hates me if I go below 128.
@@thedbarchives studio one 6, focusrite Scarlett solo, windows 11
What’s your Focusrite buffer set to? In Windows sound settings make sure you set the device to match your rate (44.1 or 48khz). Sometimes Windows doesn’t automatically adjust for devices like it should. Otherwise my Focusrite 2i2 did well at a buffer of 192.
i swear i can pay you if ypu help me with connecting my guitar, its been a hell
ive done everything in yout tutorial and my guitar rig 6 is catching the sound like crackling, but when i put the guitar rig directly to my audio soundboard it goes well.
@@thedbarchives yea ive changed it up but still crackling a lil, ive text u on ig dude
