Good vid, thanks. At first I couldn't get the button to work and got "error cannot open file" but I added the actual file type to the end of the file path (before the quotes) .mp3 .wav ect and it worked.
I got mine to work. However, when I play the sound, I can hear but it is not playing through Voice Meter. So, if I am streaming, no one can hear it but me.
@@lsearcey I have to go to the volume control on the task bar and toggle between two different settings (Voice Meter-Corsair headset) a few times until it works. Saving money for goxlr. Not happy with voice meter
@@JoeMarrant pretty sure it just uses the cassette recorder thing (the one that looks like a tape recorder or sth). I think if you change the outputs there it should work out fine for you, maybe?
Request for Button ON / Trigger in is strip[2].mute = 1 Request for Button OFF / Trigger OUT is strip[2].mute = 0 Pick whatever strip your mic is on (0 through 4) Make it a push button
I'm having the same issue. It's like frames of the audio are being dropped out, even the file's runtime is correct, and the file plays perfectly fine through any other media player.
hi ,, very nice this. but do you know how to make a puch to talk for me mic with potato ?. i saw already one video with :"strip(0).mute=0" on TRIGGER IN, and an other button on trigger out. but it only disable the mute button on pressing the shortkey. but on release it shout enable the mute again but is not working. so maybe you know how to do this ?
Anyone know if you can have a button with multiple sounds that could play? Like a button that plays a "yes" audio clip or something, but you have, say, 3 different variants of someone saying "yes" and you want voicemeeter to pick one of them randomly, instead of just the one over and over again.
@@MerleCox I wanna say, to set just the right "alt" button, not the one on the left (on "alt" on the left I have another shortcut key from another app). And I want to know if it is possible to activate a function on this app just using the left alt (when I press "alt"-right button on keyboard, the action should not be activated).
What version do you have? I don't seem to have that recorder like tape on mine. I also tried the prompts you suggested Recorder.load = "C:\sounds\MySoundEffects.mp3" Recorder.play = 1, & nothing happen when I click the button.
Hi there. I have the MidiPlus SmartPad and I tried everything... nothing works for me. It seems it reacts on the Voicemaster, I press the midi controller button and it looks like it's getting pressed, but it doesn't do anything, and the set color also doesn't even light up. Strange.
@@mrredstonia place this, Recorder.mode.Loop=1, at the begining of the Request for Button ON/Trigger IN: section. Looks something like this... Recorder.mode.Loop=1 Recorder.load = "C:\Users\coxmerle\Music\Star Wars\BB8sound 1.mp3" Recorder.play = 1 You will have to press the STOP buttion on the recorder to make the sound stop.
But that will be the recorder in a play on loop state that you will have to manually turn off or set the value to 0 in order to take it out of that state. I hope that makes sense.
So I got this working and the soundboard does the noises on clicking. Only issue is that I can't get the sound to output in Streamelements or in Discord so I can hear it in my Mic but no one else can. Can't seem to solve this issue.
hey thk for the tuto but i have a problem. When i play the sound, i can hear it but i don't know how to make people hear it on dicord and any other game, like i'm the only one to hear it. So i tried to use the "voicemeeter output" on dicord, then other people could hear the sound but my mic had a very bad quality and i couldn't fix it. So do you have any other solution to make people hear my soundboard while i keep a good mic quality?
If your mic output goes to B1, set the recorder/player (right hand side of the window, looks like a cassette tape) to output to B1. If you want to hear the sound at the same time, set it to output *as well* to, say, A1, if that is the audio device you want to hear it from.
you can add "recorder.gain = (a number between -60(db) and +12(db)" to increase or decrease it I believe. So like "recorder.gain = -10" for example, to make a given sound louder
The thing I do not like abouyt the macros is that you can't record and play a sound effect at the same time. It will stop your recording. Kinda stupid the way it's designed. The other thing is that none of the documentation on the macros tells you all of the syntax. So you have to fumble around to figure out a function you want to achieve. For example the strips are named differently in the Master Section (I needed to create a fade out for A2 in the master section, but it is not strip 6 (Voicemeeter Banana). So again very annoying when they make docs that are not as detailed as needed. Forums are less than useless in my experience too.
@@hahaxolotl Endure you have the quotes. Example : Recorder.load = "C:\Users\coxmerle\Music\SoundBoard\Applause (cheering1, long).m4a" . Of course, the path is the path to the location where you have the audio file stored.
You would have to make the button a 2 position button. In the Request for Button OFF / Trigger OUT: section you would put in the following lines......... recorder.stop = 0 recorder.rew = 1 recorder.rew=1 will rewind the music and take it back to the beginning.
Thank you! This helped a bunch
That's awesome! I'm so glad I was able to help you out. Good luck!
This helped a lot. Works in Sept. 2023
Glad it helped!
This was very helpful. Thank you

Appreciate the vid thanks. Even though it was 2 years ago still serving a purpose. Again thanks.

Neat idea,what is the code in the macro button for the cough button?
Request for Button ON / Trigger in is strip[2].mute = 1
Request for Button OFF / Trigger OUT is strip[2].mute = 0
Pick whatever strip your mic is on (0 through 4)
Make it a push button
@@MerleCox Thank you.
great, but when I play a sound it doesn't play in full, what's the problem?

All of my audio files (mp3 and wav) doesn't work. It always says "Error: Cannot Play File" on the recorder everytime I press the button.
past me a copy of the code you are inputting.
Recorder.load = “F:\Soundboard\FreeBird3.wav”@@MerleCox

It's 3.0.1.8 and it is POTATO. The path should be the path to your .wav file.

Quick question, is there a way to make a toggle to make the sounds loop?
There might be. I would have to look in the documentation.
@@MerleCox alright!

for me, the sound effects are just randomly cutting, is there any solution?
I'm not sure what you mean by "randomly cutting".
@@MerleCox sometimes, you are just hearing nothing, and sometimes, you are hearing the sound
@@negravitraxgermany7945 i had the same, it was because I was using .mp3 files, i changed for .wav and it work
Is it possible to remote the soundcards on an Ipad?
I don’t think so
Ok, maybe its possible tru the stream deck app and autohotkey shorts then :)@@MerleCox
it dosent play thru my mic so only me hears it
Hey man i got a error "Error Cannot open file"
You need to ensure you have the path along with the file identified. Example "C:\myfiles\sounds\intro.mp3" make sure you use the " "
@@MerleCox i have the same issue i have everything right, it doesnt wanna play trough the macros
place the files you wanna play in a documents folder. worked for me !
@@hahaxolotl Make sure the file is in the location you are referencing.
@@hahaxolotl Endure you have the quotes. Example : Recorder.load = "C:\Users\coxmerle\Music\SoundBoard\Applause (cheering1, long).m4a" . Of course, the path is the path to the location where you have the audio file stored.
Why is my music or sound effect lagging ? :S
Can't answer that. May be your sound card, processor, etc.
I figured it out was because it was mp3 and the files had different bitrates and such I converted them to wav@@MerleCox
I did everything in the video and nothing happens
Check to ensure you have the correct path to the file identified and that it's in quotes.
what i write for stop the music 🎶
You would have to make the button a 2 position button. In the Request for Button OFF / Trigger OUT: section you would put in the following lines.........
recorder.stop = 0
recorder.rew = 1
recorder.rew=1 will rewind the music and take it back to the beginning.
not working
