Good walkthrough, for me the difficult part is to grasp which is the sound I hear and what are the sound (or where) the programs hear them. Your diagrams helped a lot. I I can suggest some improvements I would mention that you can rename all the labels by right clicking them. So instead of aux, vaio3, stereo input x, fader gain etc. you could just rename them to whatever you think is the most clear way. Other thing is to not use winrar, but 7zip which is more or less superior, completely free (winrar is not) and better in most ways anyway.
I play many FPS games. My favorites are Valorant, Warzone, CS2, and PUBG. There is a very important feature called Loudness Equalization. It is available in the audio settings of Windows, and when activated, it helps you hear enemy footsteps better. Is it possible to do this in Voicemeeter Potato? Specifically for just one virtual cable, if I want?
I'm pretty sure this is achievable using the compressor and limiter features in voicemeeter. Turning up the compressor will make quiet noises louder, and the limiter will determine how loud the loudest sound can be.
If you see my uploads you will find a long video called tour of all voicemeeter settings. In the description there are timestamps. You should be able to find compressor and limiter there
Hey hey, I'm trying to get OBS to work with voicemeeter, and I have all my defaults and inputs set, but obs still isn't recording my audio. A1 (my headphone mic) feeds into B3 (my obs input) and my meters move in obs but no audio is captured, any ideas?
@@DjinnZhad Yes, I think. They come with all versions of Voicemeeter. I have three virtual audio devices: Input, Input AUX and VAIO, and there are also five of those
Voicemeeter is not necessarily intended for personal use. I assume these devices are installed to accommodate more complex setups in professional use cases. These devices are interchangeable as your default device for recording or output which can be handy when routing to achieve certain effects during playback. Through my years of using voicemeeter, streaming and making UA-cam videos, I have not encountered a situation where I required to change my default device to achieve a particular effect, so I just ignore them. If they really bother you, you can go over to the legacy audio device manager on Windows, which is featured at 7:54, right click an underisred device and click disable to hide them from your menus, and this can be easily undone by right clicking a greyed out device and click enable.
I am so confused. This guide is not helpling me to understand. I want to be able to play music through discord and still be able to talk to people and hear them without hearing my voice / music being repeated. How do I do that? Your settings on which options are highlighted on the columns seems to change with each scene. You always have A1 in Stereo Input 1 selected but when I do that I always hear my own voice, you don't seem to. I am so confused. Do you have a discord by chance?
I'm sorry for the confusion with the inconsistent setup, I had to do multiple takes. When I have A1 selected, I do hear myself. I like hearing myself when I record because I have big over-ear headphones that muffle my voice when I talk outloud. You wont be able to tell exactly what I hear just from watching the video. I will reiterate my setup for you below: HARDWARE (this is only for you to hear) A1 - My headphones A2 - unused A3 - unused A4 - unused A5 - unused SOFTWARE (this is for application on you computer to hear) B1 - My Default Mic for all applications (unless otherwise specified) B2 - Discord, Zoom, Microsoft Teams (i have specifically chosen this mic source for these applications) B3 - OBS (i have specifically chosen this mic source for OBS) So focusing on your situation with Discord, if you have been following the guide from 20:29 to 23:05, you should have your settings configured for Discord so that your mic input is set to VoiceMeeter output B2 and your Output source as VoiceMeeter AUX input. The only thing you need to do in order for Discord to pick up audio is to have B2 selected. You can select B2 on as many sources as you want. But only the sources with B2 selected will go to Discord. The only thing you need to do in order for you to listen to your Discord conversations is to have A1 selected under the VoiceMeeter AUX source column. Everything else is just for the purposes of making the tutorial. Also, yes I have a Discord Server which everyone is free to join here: discord.gg/b76GXKx
If we are looking at the first hardware source which I use for my blue snowball microphone, you will see 3 knobs for Comp (compression), Gate (noise gat,e), and Denoiser. Right under those 3 knobs, you will see Special FX. These are the basic settings that were present before the update 3.1 you can turn these knobs for Reverb and Delay. For the new special FX for 3.1, you can right-click the Comp or Gate Knob to open the Compressor Detail panel or you can right-click the Denoiser Knob to show some new FX options like Wet balance, Pitch, and Formants. I was thinking about making a video dedicated to just navigating the UI but I wasn't sure if it would be very useful if you think it would be helpful I will see what I can do.
this was perfect. I seen so many videos but yours was the best and explained perfectly
Just perfect!!! Thank you a lot!
Glad i could help!

I wanted to create an equalizer for a virtual cable for FPS games like Valorant, Warzone, CS2 and PUBG. Do you know?
I'm pretty sure this is achievable using the compressor and limiter features in voicemeeter. Turning up the compressor will make quiet noises louder, and the limiter will determine how loud the loudest sound can be.
@@DjinnZhad I use voicemeeter input as a default for games, where do I see this function you mentioned?

@@DjinnZhad Ok
It start to bug you about the license after 30 days, not right away.
the only guide!

Check if any of your obs tracks are checked in Output > Recording settings.
Really good video, covers all that I need. But I still don't understand what's the purpose of five additional "Voicemeeter In 1-5" output devices
You're referring to additional virtual devices installed when you installed voicemeeter potato?
