Always try cutting frequencies first instead of boosting. You can start cutting out mids first and this will naturally boost the low and high ends at the same time, while staying zero’d out. Tweak and tune, record your voice with and without gameplay, and don’t rush it 💪
A very good phrase to use while testing for your EQ peaks is: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. You can follow it up with: She sells sea shells by the sea shore. The first phrase covers a wide spectrum of sounds, and is good for general EQ. The second in particular will help with your highs.
Alright botha I hardly leave a shoutout unless the youtuber has stellar info - bro you killed it. You the man. Keep rockin - for everybody else make sure to watch this video from start to finish...I repeat START TO FINISH otherwise you will surely miss out on key factors. Good Luck to all
Thank so much! I watched this until the end since I have been having problems with my mic, my voice is really soft when I talk to friends so this video really helped me 😄😄😄
Great video! I've always had trouble with EQ-ing audio whenever I make videos and this definitely helped me a lot! Anyway, an IMPORTANT NOTE TO EVERYONE. You have keep the Audio-Graphic EQ open because it won't work if it's closed. That means that you have to keep launching it every time during start up (which is annoying) and I hope Voicemeeter does something about it. I've definitely had moments where I thought my mic sounded great but had my EQ off while recording gameplay.
thanks i looked for the answer to this any couldnt figure out why the changes wouldnt save after closing the eq window. seems like a huge oversight by voicemeeter xD
there's an option to launch on startup.. in voicemeeter go to menu > Run on Windows Startup. I also recommend checking the box for System Tray right above it to access it easier.
@@thetoekneesan that's just for the voicemeeter app itself and NOT the interface for the EQ. the EQ interface has to be open for it to work - at least during the time i wrote this comment. I don't really bother with it anymore since i have a better setup. but you can go test it out yourself
looking at the EQ. it effects the whole virtual output? so you would have to use up 1/2 of your Outputs to dedicate one for just mic audio? is that accurate thanks
I've set up voicemeter many times. I use it to spam music in voice chat in games. Whenver I try to sing along with my soundtrack, my vocals are always delayed. How do I set it up so I can sync with my sountracks?
How to add microphone preprocessing tuning with VST? if not using OBS? Similar software like Equalizer APO? Do you have a video how to do it only in TotalMix?
I tried with the vb cable but it's constatnly choppy =(( any fix on that? but i switched to my headphones/speakers but it was fine, may onting echo lang
Excellent tutorial/video. Well done. U have a question. Why does the audio graphic eq 15 have a separate label for each bus, and an ignore check box...when they don't work? The settings I apply effect each bus, all the selector does is select the active one.
Audio comes out robotic and lags when I listen to it on discord or OBS. I had to switch the input to MME since WDM made it sound much worse. Any way to fix this?
awsome work bro i watched so many vids on voice meter and it never worked for me but you video was perfect and easy to understand, keep up the good content 👍.
Thank you! I am trying to setup a cheap Tonor mic. This made it totally workable until i can justify a better mic. Plus these skills are needed for any mic.
so once youve fine tuned the EQ how do you apply it to the mic? I can listen to the changes in real time but once i close the eq 15, the settings are gone until i open it again.
Hi! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just got this program so I didn't have to worry about buying new equipment and I really didn't know anything about this kind of stuff so you really helped me out!
Bro thank you I mean seriously thank you I was struggling sooo much and my Vedios weren't producing enough sound this really helped me man Keep up the good work your really doing everyone a service
Hello, I’m using a RODE wireless go and it’s pretty much blank for the low and high frequencies. Does that mean I only have to work on the existing ones? I’ve spent an hour on this already and it only sounds like I’m on the other end of a phone call. GREAT video by the way!
I tried to hardware out the cable Cable Input (VB -Audio Virtual Cable), but I cant hear anything, is there any steps that I missed? I followed your vid, I restarted my pc after downloading the virtual cable.
Yup you’re not supposed to hear anything cause you’re not monitoring it. You can check your software if there’s an output which most likely is outputting if you followed my instructions 😊
Hi NORCLA! Do you have any tips on fixing mic distortion using voicemeeter? I am really having a hard time messing with it even though I have my mic in a distance.
I use voice meeter banana to split my audio in main and comms. How do I setup on VB banana? Also I Don't know what I am doing, but it works and its clean, can you help me?
i have my rode hooked up into my onyx preamp as well as my dt 770 pro. i pick the mircophone in 1 hardware input and the vb cable in the hardware out. when i do this i cannot hear anything anymore.
How do i save the 15 bands eq setting? It will only activate the setting when i open the EQ. Once i close it resets back to default. Cool tutorial btw!
just wondering i made a perfect config for myself but every time i want EQ on i have to open the EQ15 by myself , is there any ways to make this app open on startup ?
when I set my virtual cable input to my output in voicemeeter I get zero sound on both bars and can't hear you. I believe a big part of this tutorial thats lacking is what I set my default communication and default devices to. I've tried multiple and still no luck with going the virtual cable route the only way I can EQ my mic is by EQ everything that comes into my headset. When I enable my EQ all audio is EQ'd which is the problem. but when I follow your instructions step by step I get zero sound waves on the audio cable on those bars you spoke of when you said "you will see this if you set it up correctly" so im not sure whats the deal or issue so any insight would be awesome thanks man!
Somehow i am not equalizing the input of my microphone im just putting an equalizer on all the output? what am i doing wrong? i already have an eq for windows
something im running into is the VB audio cable just not working like at all, it doesn't output audio from my mic and half the time i also cant get audio when i have it selected
How do you get the 15 band to Automatically start and active with voice meter ? I set voicemeter to start automatic when I turn on my computer but I caNoT get the 15 band to start and activate within voicemeter also?
can someone help like i downloadet voice meeter restartet my pc and if i search voice meeter on my pc its doesnt show up like i cant find the programm ?! I dont know why it only shows up the setup von installing it new but its says its already installed. sry for my band englisch. ty
Hello! What audio processing programs do you recommend for Macs, I'd have loved to download Voicemeeter but unfortunately it's not available for my MacBook
It might be a stupid question im not sure it works or not but my mic goes out through b3 in potato, do i need to select the b3 then ? also i notices my mic is too slow to cut off so there is noise at the end how do i change that? (read about changing the gates closing time but i cant figure out where to do that ) or adding an expander (there isnt one in voicemeeter so not sure what to get for that)
set it up exactly how you did but then a few days later without messing with any of the inputs, in control panel i can only get cable input in the playback section and the output in the recording section so i cant select vb cable input in discord or obs and output is the only option for microphones
I use the beats studio 3 would that be ideal for finding my voice in an accurate manner? Cause to my ear it sounds pretty level on the highs and lows the mids sounds pretty good as well. But it's as close as I can get. Plus I'm using this program for music production purposes and Livestreaming as well video recording. I just want to get the most out of this program. I need a noise gate, compressor, gain control, limiter, and a equalizer for the best quality audio. But I need it to sound clear and not basey in the low end but more equal to the ear in lows highs and mids. I'm very picky when it comes to recording. But also would like that high end feel. I use the Shure SM7B, and Shure SM57 for vocal recording and streaming. I don't use a cloud lifter for the simple reasoning Shure themselves told me it wasn't a need just a good end mixer and I bought what they recommended me. So all I need now is a virtual mixer that can do all of those things I previously mentioned.
This is great as I've been wanting to learn how to EQ my mic, and many guides are male speakers. But this example along with Spectralissime will really help me with my own female voice. I do have a question, though. I also use the Intellipan to change the colour of my voice. Should I use this together with the EQ? Or should I focus on the EQ only? Thanks.
Hello! The microphone that i'm using is the Fifine T670. I did an audio test using obs studio and voicemeeter but the audio is very choppy. Is there a way to fix it? :)
My mic didn't show any diference using VB Audio Graphich EQ 15. I notice that it change my Audio EQ not my Microphone EQ. How can i solve that? I already marked BUS B1 where my mic is located.

do I have to keep the EQ 15 tab thing open to keep it in effect?
I've set up voicemeter many times. I use it to spam music in voice chat in games. Whenver I try to sing along with my soundtrack, my vocals are always delayed. How do I set it up so I can sync with my sountracks?
Whenever I close this Equalyzer, the sound goes back to what is was before. How do I save these EQ settings?
you need to EQ panel in minimize. i know he didnt say in the video.

Hey all, how do I apply EQ ONLY to my MIC, intead of applying it to the whole A1 track??????? I don't want like spotify , Chrome and Zoom to be eq.
Everytime I select cable input i dont hear a thing from my headphones or laptop speakers.
Found a fix yet?
Your not a supposed to it outputting the audio to cable not your headphones to hear what it sounds you have to use a program like obs
Do you also have a V8 Soundcard where you plugged in your microphone? or you directly plugged it into your computer?
This was awesome. keep it up man
I have a question, in the EQ you can choose the "BUS" are the changes only applied to the selected "BUS" or can i applie changes on all "BUS"?
Does this work if you use your smartphone as mic with WO MIC
