I wish I had done this before I filmed this video. I added a bot to my discord that records your mic audio! This is super helpful because the built in "lets test your mic" setting in discord is awful, it greatly lowers the quality of your mic. SO join the server (link in the description) go into #voicemeeter-help and then try !hearyourself - you will get an audio file dm'd to you that will show you EXACTLY how you sound to others in discord.
This tutorial honestly not only helped me out but clarified how to set it up in my windows settings. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me until now.
@@HukeIsMe exactly, as a content creator myself, I’ve just started out with using VoiceMeeter and every video I watched was always so complicated for no reason and they never showed what you needed to set up in windows sound settings. You’re truly awesome.
thanks for this video Ive been using Voicemeeter for a while didn't really understand it though... Now that I watched this video I think I know a little more about what i'm doing! thanks again
Thanks so much for this, I really like voicemeeter, and a lot of tutorials I used to use have been deleted. You really helped me to better understand the program
I've watched 3 or 4 of your videos on VoiceMeeter and followed all of your advice, but my Blue Yeti is still picking up my mouse clicks and keyboard. It never did this before I installed VoiceMeeter. Any ideas on how to fix this? I tried moving the gain and gate both, but I still hear the keyboard and mouse clicks when I check my audio through the A1 channel.
I used speakers to games and musics. And my mic is picking up the sounds from my speakers. How do I prevent that? Before this, I had no problem because I was using the AUX microphone. But with this new USB microphone. I have no idea how to fix it. Tried everything I know.
Hey kinda offtopic, but I love your desk mat. Didn't see it in your gear linked in description. Do you have a link where you got it perhaps? Also thanks for the video, solid tutorial!
no matter how good my mic sounds in voicemeeter, it always sounds fucking terrible in discord and i have no clue why. It even sounds amazing in audacity but in discord it crackles and pops and sounds super staticky. Ive tried every combo of audio engines and nothing works, its only discord.
This is a very good tutorial. Thank you. I do have a Problem. I was doing this without a headset like how you are doing. When voicemeeter picked up my mic... feedback happened. How can I avoid that like your set-up. I also want to confirm if the better audio will come out on Zoom.
Glad this was helpful! To fix your problem, will include some testing on your end. it seems like you need to find the sweet spot. How sensitive should you make your mic, vs how loud your speakers are. I would start with your speakers. what is the lowest volume you would be comfortable using. then see if your mic still picks up audio. If it does, Lower the green fader for your microphone in voicemeeter until it stops picking up audio from your speakers. You could also try turning on your gate, i would set it to 1.5
any fix on how to remove the delay on discord i noticed that when i talk in discord voicechat my voice with voicemeeter on comes through a few millisecs later
What camera are you using? Also will this setup work for muting Spotify AND discord for streams (so that I can still hear both but my audience cannot)?
Hey, do you know why with my fifine mic on the voice metter it sounds good and also sounds good on like everything I don’t use but the one app I use everyday is discord. Which is the only app that mg mic doesn’t sound good as it sounded on the voice metter and all the other apps I tried it on.
Turn off basically everything in discord for noise reduction noise gain etc, and the test your audio thing sounds like mobile always so it's not accurate.
idk why but whenever I switched my input device in discord to voicemeeter aux input, the mic just won't respond and record my voice. but when I changed it to my actual mic it does receive my voice and can be heard on voicemeeter aux output
So by juggling with the B1 b2 (or else) and stuff, one could let play a Static sound (radio) in Loop with VLC player, and apply it under the voice PTT communications in discord? With an average PC this should not have issues. The problem is Games could crash especially discord which is not the most stable thing in the world, could just crash\conflict I think having: Vlc\discord\Voice Meeter and the game softwares all playing audio inputs or outputs... There must be a simple wawy to make a cracking sound\ flat Military radio (not police) effect to play in a more immersive environment co-op mil sim games. There must be I am trying to understand from the outside, despite I know I should download and start fiddling with settings, however the result is always relative as said above. not all pc could accept it and ensure compatibility, so the simpler, the best it is. Probably the trick at 12:27 is the way to do it: Trigger pressing the PTT (which will be kept pressed) an audio file and in the mean while transmit the message (2-3 seconds) the problem is that the audio will keep on playing and possibly be disrupting the game... Maybe the best way is just fiddling with the bitrate of windows without even using voice meter and creating a low bit rate and amplify the audio just as a sort of default and easy edit, or even on discord lowering quality: it will allow to have a sort of radioish effect... maybe this is the best way.
@@HukeIsMe insane background noise with no actual audio going on, any sort of desk tap causes earth shattering sounds, voice sounds like im on the other side of the room and doesnt have any sort of "full sound"
@@HukeIsMe some further info, im using blue voice into the software, ive tried turning it off and it still offers still poor audio with or without it, not sure if you use it or not.
@@stickyup6293 sounds like to me you have the gain turned too high on your microphone, or make volume slider in Voicemeeter is too high for your mic, or the comp knob turned up in Voicemeeter. Could be a lot of things, but ultimately if the problem is a mic being too loud/sensitive. Turn the gain down as much as possible
@@HukeIsMe with blue voice ive turned it down to around 15 which is as low as i can without being able to hear myself, in voicemeter i only let my gain to 5 and have done alot of tweaking, im not as much worried about the sensitivity with the banging as im ordering a shock mount but my voice sounds so far away still not sure what to change for that
Huke i got one question :). First Thanks for all the Videos :). I think all Works now. But the IntelliPAIN dont work on the Record Function on the right side.... i Can put the circle in Every corner, and nothing Change.... i Want to Hear myself on my own record when changing the Pain on the left side... u got any idea? :)) Greetings from Germany
Since my headset is plugged into my blue yeti and already hear myself in my headset do I just set the A1 headset to the blue yeti mic? Or is there something else I should select? Also what settings are best to make sure you hear all your game audio, multiplayer game chat audio and people in a discord call all without accidentally sending what you hear through the headset to everyone else?
In the discord voice and video setting section you will see the "automatically determine input sensitivity" setting. Disable that setting and a yellow and green bar will be shown. The yellow part is the muted part of the audio and the green one is the part your friends hear. adjust it so when you press on your keyboard the audio picked up from it stays in the yellow part and when you talk to your friends your voice should be in the green part. Hope this helped you even if your comment was 2 months ago
Wassup Huke, am recording on Voicemeeter Banana with the Fifine K669B. i set the noise gate to: 5.0 and it's on Mono. Am a guy with a very deep voice. the outpout is slighly audible. How do i tweak EQ in order for the voice to come out smooth, crystal clear ??
I've always been confused about this. I test my audio on voicemeeter itself and I sound amazing. I sound crisp and professional. But when I do a sound check on discord, I do not sound as good. It's driving me crazy. I have echo cancellation off. Noise reduction off. Advanced voice activity off. Automatic gain control off. I have my input sensitivity on -60db. My input is voicemeeter output. and my output is voicemeeter input in discord. Everything seems to be hooked up fine. But its just when I test the audio in discord, I don't sound as crisp. Is that normal? If I got in an actual call with someone, would I sound alot better than I am on the mic test?
Because discord compresses your audio like crazy, its always gonna sound bad on discord and any other mic will, cheap or expensive. Ofc more expensive mics would sound better but with discord its always gonna sound worse than what it is.
I have a similar problem. When testing in voicemeter, my mic sounds perfect but when I'm in a discord call my mic has a huge echo. Did you find a solution for your problem?
Hello There, Is there any way that you would be willing to help me out? I am trying to setup Voicemeter Banana on one PC with 2 mics and 2 headphones so we can use it via Zoom with a third presenter. I was wondering if you would be willing to help fine tune us?
yeah so everything here is going to be the exact same, except steps you'll have to add are, left click on hardware input 2 so you can select your second mic. then also toggle on B1 and B2 under that mic. then on the right side of voicemeeter, left click A2 and select your headphones, and you should be good to go if you also follow everything else in the video. Zoom audio just needs to be either Default or anything that says voicemeeter

Hi. is there a video that explains how to UN install Voice Meeter? Normal uninstall won't work. Thanks
instead of typing a comment asking, how about you just google it or search it on youtube lol
Why dont i have any sound audio on my pc and i cant talk it doesnt work please please help me im so devastated
Like i say at the very beginning, pull it up on a another device because youre going to lose your audio. Just continue with the setup.
Huke it worked thanks bro your the best
Thank you
random problem i got it working but the next day i9 could hesr my mic though my headset and it sounds loud and bad like something happened??
do u still need the vb bullcrap? Cuz vb bullcrap wont work xD

did you figure it out cuase I am struggling rn
could u help me out, Sometimes my mic goes from a really good quailty to bad quailty often when im a bit to loud
Hello, my question is; how did u set and put the discord on VIRTUAL INPUTS?
Does this also make your mic better for videos or other things
Discord won't let me get past rules pages, I keep on clicking voice meeter but it won't let me get past it
Question, do I have to make it 16 bit DVD quality like in 10:13, or can I set it as 24 bit studio quality
How do you drop the volume of your music or game volume when you talk?
I used speakers to games and musics.
And my mic is picking up the sounds from my speakers.

Which audio channel do i connect to if i wanna add in Adobe Audition? and streaming on Twitch
