NOTES:
At 6:30 in the video, I make a mistake. I say that windows audio is hard coded to the first virtual input. That's wrong. I have set "voicemeter input" as my default playback device in windows, and that's why my windows audio goes there.
Also, the virtual audio cable software by default comes with only one virtual cable. But if you make a donation, you can receive two more virtual cables from the author in email. I did that, which is why I have virtual cable A and B.
Thank you everyone for all the kind words and encouragement about this video. There are a few things I wish I could change:
1) I'd correct the error I made at 6:30 where I said windows audio was hard coded.
2) I thought the song I used was copyright free. It wasn't and this video has been demonitized
3) I'd remove the reference to audio router and use windows 10 builtin audio routing
4) I'd upgrade to voicemeeter potato
But as far as I know, I can only do all of those things by making a new video rather than editing this one. Anyway, FYI.
Thank you very much, you made an awesome work explaining all of this. Sorry hearing about point 2, fuck UA-cam, they should've allowed you to just change the audio in that part.
@@albertleonhart3093 thank you. I don't blame youtube. I blame the screwed up copyright laws.
@Creedon H. See here:

@Creedon H. you're welcome
Additionally, if any of you would like to create a direct shortcut to Windows10 audio routing app, just create new shortcut on your desktop and paste "ms-settings:apps-volume" as a target
This one was very clear and easy to understand, but you forgot to mention a very important first step, which is to change default output and input device on Windows to Voicemeeter input and output.
That's true. Thanks for the kind words.
6yrs old, but I'm glad I clicked. I watched 7 videos before this one and this one is the best. Your diagram made it so easy to understand. thank you
Glad it helped!
Best explanation ever. I´ve seen lots of videos in UA-cam explaining the use of this program and this is, by far, the best I´ve found. Great video, man. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated.
I agree 1000000% I watched some 'quite good' and one "'pretty good' explanation, but you, my dear sir, took it to another level! I really appreciate your video and will send others here that encounter the same question, for sure! Have a nice day.
Couldnt agree more with the people above. That illustration you put into the video did it for me. Now I know how to layout my devices the WAY I want them too. Thank you for this. Every other freakin video out there simply confuse you. I had to watch around a dozen video to KIND OF get what it is trying to do.
Agree 100% . Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it from scratch . Brilliant video and demystifies how to set up and use this incredibly useful tool for routing audio
Best explanation? He literally throws in a random program in the middle of the video and doesnt tell you if you need it or not, or how important it is to the config.
If this is the best thing out there and is irrelevant, im not sure how anyone has sound on the internet.
5 year since this video was published and this is an absolute life saver. I really wish this video gets more likes and views. Best explained video ever. Much appreciated. :)
Thanks. You might also like the one by nutty. It's more recent and much more clever animations.
6 years later and this is pure gold holy THANK YOU ❤
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Wow. This puts the last 40 guides I have either read or watched, all contradicting one another and each displaying a bit of confusion themselves, to absolute shame.
Thank you, sincerely.
Give this man the likes and subs, totally earned that shit...
I'm glad I could help!
Even this video was published 6 years back, still valid today to refer. It helped me to understand voicemeter in detail.
Thanks. Glad it was helpful.
Your presentation is orders of magnitude clearer than any similar video on UA-cam. You are a very good educator and thank you for making this confusing topic easier to understand.
Thank you!
everyone get in here and watch this!! I wish I watched this video first after watching and spending about 5 hours trying to figure out what you just explained in 15 minutes.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad it was helpful
The scheme you drew at the beginning- is the best part. Thank you so much for your efforts
You're welcome and thank you for the kind words.
Great Video...even 6 years later. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
Ive been watching vids on this voicemeeter app for 3 days trying to figure it out. Yours is the only one to help me. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad I could help.
Best video I've seen on how to set up The Banana. Thanks for making and posting it.
Cmdr CorvusCoraxNevermore thanks for the kind words!
Thanks Mark. Finally! A video that clearly explains the basics of Voicemeeter in a practical usage scenario. Simple, clear, brief. Excellent work.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tutorial! Saved me a few hours, had to do a little extra to set it up just right for myself but couldn't have done it without your vid
Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad it's helped.
Simple and easy explanation - only need to watch one time to understand the basics
Thanks
Thanks for the graphic illustration of how things go where and the explanation about it all. Really helped to my stream to sound so much better. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad this helped
I spent hours today trying to get Voicemeter banana working before coming across this video, thank you so much for the concise, clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful
I had been looking for a comprehensive yet easy to follow video on Voice Meeter Banana. You hit the nail on the head with your video!
Now all I've got to do is figure out how to use the VB Audio ASIO bridge with Reaper.
Glad it was helpful.
This is the most simplistic explanation of VMB EVER. I wish I could give you more thumbs up.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
Awesome explanation. After pulling my hair out for several hours yesterday trying to figure it all out, this tied it all together in a nice, easy-to-understand description. 100,000,000 thanks!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Great video, complete with clear explanation and helpful diagrams. The best I have viewed concerning Voicemeeter connections. Thanks for sharing it.
Sinn-Chye Ho thank you very much for the kind words
This is the most concise informative video on Voicemeeter I’ve found yet. I’d never heard of Audio Router and that was exactly the kind of additional software I was looking for. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words, but windows 10 since about 2018 has had a builtin audio router. So you shouldn't need that piece of software anymore.
@@1dullgeek I actually went with EarTrumpet because I had one stubborn piece of software that refused to pay attention to the routing in Windows (I figured out after I wrote this comment that the software you mentioned wasn’t supported anymore for the reason you mentioned) but obeys EarTrumpet for some reason. Software is mysterious sometimes... Thanks again!
This is the best explanation I have seen! I could get my configuration to work watching other videos, but I didn't feel in control because I really didn't understand how or why it all worked. With your video, I know exactly how to map the inputs to the outputs to monitor and control volume easily. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation! When it comes down to it, this is mix routing 101. Windows sources are just really difficult to visualize, and you make that happen. So thanks!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful
My brother of all that I see and hear in explanation, you are the simplest and the clearest. It us so enlightening to me now. I just couldn't get it with the others. Keep up the good job.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad that this helped.
Thank you for the video. I found it by way of @VB_Audio on Twitter pointing it out and around the 11 minute mark it explained something that I hadn't quite figured out yet while playing with it. Nice work with the diagramming, I had done the same on paper while working through my first setup. Best, Bob
Thanks, Bob
I cannot stress enough how useful THIS video is, I've gone through about 5 other explanations before this one and all of them confused the hell out of me and explained it all wrong. Thank you for the concise and thorough explanation and very relevant software advice. This solved many frustrations I was having.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad it was helpful
This is the clearest presentation that I have found on UA-cam after a lengthy and tedious search.
Thanks so much for developing/sharing this material. I only wish that I could support you in some way. Most sincerely....
Thanks. Glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much for actually EXPLAINING this! I've been looking for DAYS
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Hi Mark. I have been looking for a simple explanation of this program and watched many tens of videos on UA-cam of people portending they know how to explain this software and I got more confused. Your wonderful graphical and detailed routing of the devices made everything so clear to me. You have a talent for being an instructor and explaining maters. I congratulate you and thank you immensely for making this video! I'm also an Instrument rated Pilot and enjoyed flying when I was younger. Cheers!
Glad this helped.
Great job Mark! You are a fantastic demonstrator!
Thanks so much!
Best tutorial out there. Helped a friend fix his ps5 obs setup.
Thank you!
@@1dullgeek
honestly you might be the best explainer guy I have ever seen thank you so much
Whoa! Thanks for the kind words!
FINALLY!!! A video explaining Banana that I get. Thank you so much. The diagram was very helpful (that's when it clicked) for me.
Nice! Glad it was helpful
Amazing video. Clearly spoken and clearly laid out with the chart you made. You have my thumps up. Very Impressive. Downloading Voicemeeter Banana now.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! This really helped me understand VoiceMeeter.
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
This video was incredible, You explained it well, and your voice didn't bother, instead: made me focus even more on the video, great job!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
Hey Mark - yours is the best explanation so far! Thanks
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad this was helpful.
This helped a tonne to understand what voicemeeter actually does. You taught actual applicable knowledge so I could adapt this to my own needs rather than just copy a guide.
Nice! Glad it was helpful.
man your guide is so simple omg ...i was looking to know how voicemeeter works and watched alot of video and didn't understand anything till i found u
Glad it was helpful.
@@1dullgeek i just want to ask for zip folder for cable a and b bcs the site ask me for donation and i can't
Fabulous. Helpful way beyond OBS in concept. I'm using Banana to manage complex audio routing for ZOOM meetings and this was an excellent overview.
Nice! Glad it was helpful.
Finally a good Voicemeter tutorial
Glad it helped!
Very well said tutorial with easy to follow explanations :) Thank you for the video!!! I'd love to see a more in depth tutorial follow up from anything/everything you've learned since 2017!
Thank you. I have learned a few things since this video. Maybe an update is in order....🤔
Thanks. This is the most useful and effective instructions to use voicemeeter banana with OBS
Thank you. Glad it was helpful.
@@1dullgeek i am still not clear on the windows 10 builtin audio routing. Any plan to do a quick video on that?
First of all, I wanted to say this is a tremendous how-to video. I've used voicemeeter banana for two years and felt there was a need for a really good, basic video on it. I created one myself recently and I'm not ashamed to say that your video did exactly what I intended mine to do! Well done. I know you couldn't cover everything, but given you mentioned audio router (which I use as well) I just wanted to mention that in my experience when you launch audio router and modify an audio selection, you usually have to go to the menu button in voicemeeter banana and "restart audio engine" for the change to take effect. Again, awesome job!
Lord Gwydion Thank you for he kind words and yes I've experienced the same thing as you with audio router.
Dude, you and this software are a god send! TYSM for making this tutorial!!! Great explanation!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
Excellent explanation, thank you very much!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
The explanation is sooo excellent 👍. Really appreciate it ☺ !!
Glad it was helpful!
Really nice video! Thanks for this great explanation! Finally understood VoiceMeeter to use it to its full capacity.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the video was helpful.
Great explanation and simple ; well done
Thank you
This is probably the best video about this topic on youtube. Your clear step by step explanation and use of flow charts/diagrams makes an audio mixer understandable to someone with no audio engineering background and those of us that have always let the OS handle everything because we never knew anything different.
My one question for you is this (and I apologize if you addressed this, I've watched and read too many OTHER tutorials and guides on this subject in the past week and their lack of logical structure turned my brain to mush as I was trying to piece it all together mentally) :
How would I use VMB and VAC to allow people in my stream and on my discord/zoom/skype hear chrome/music/game sounds at will while allowing me to turn that input off for them at will so I can choose when they can hear those external apps without also the people on discord/zoom/skype hearing themselves or myself doubled.
My initial solution is A1 - headphones, A2 - speakers, A3 - VAB?, H1 - Mic, H2 - VAB from apps, H3 - Music?, B1 - Windows, B2 - Stream sounds? I believe the hiccup comes when trying to decide how to route 1 - applications and 2 - communication software with VAB.
When it comes to which software to route through VAB or VAIO or Aux, I get a little lost.
I'm going to rewatch this video several times and I'll edit this comment at the end if I find a solution so other's can see it as well.
It seem's like the most common streaming setup would include discord, music, browser, alerts, and obs.
Thank you again for making this exceptionally logically clear video!
First thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad that it was helpful.
Second, I'm not at home so I'm not able to fully understand the solution that you've got. When I get home later I'll take a look.
But again thanks for the encouragement!
So i think you've got the basic idea correct. Assign all of the apps that you want to control to one input channel. Then assign those to be sent to B1. Then use Voicemeeter Output in both discord and OBS.
But by far the thing to do is experiment. Once you've got a basic idea of how the software works, it takes practice and experimentation to really get good at it.
@@1dullgeek Thank you so much for your reply, I have since downloaded voicemeeter potato and bought virtual audio cable and b.
My hardware outputs are headphones and speakers for a1-3, however i have noticed some people use a virtual audio cable in the hardware out section which must be for some good reason I can't yet fathom.
My Inputs are 1 Mic, 2 Other voices on coms to cable a, game audio to cable b, music/browser to cable output.
Voicemeeter vaio has desktop sounds, aux has communication sounds, and vaio3 has music.
My mic, other people's mic, the browser/music, and game audio is being fed into OBS Studio.
I'm currently testing this right now by routing game audio to cable b through windows advanced sound options.
If this works, There will be individual sliders for my voice, other people's voice from discord, game audio, and music/browser audio BOTH for me and separately for the stream.
This seems like the ideal setup where any beginning streamer can have full control without a whole lot of knowhow.
This is where I am stumbling a bit:
B1 = Vaio from cable B (game audio.) and Cable (Music/Browser)
B2 = Aux from from My Mic
B3 = Vaio3 from cable A (other people's voices on discord) and Music Maybe?.
Still not quite there but I'm piecing it together from all these guides, thanks again!
great walk through - thank you - I can tell you really spent time to figure out how to work through this description without over-complicating things (Ninja instructor skill!) I thought I was going to need a hardware mixer just to control volume on my background music but you just showed how to do this very easily with software... awesome!
Thanks for the kind words. Glad it was helpful.
@@1dullgeek looking at VM Potato which you mention in your comments, is the primary additional benefit just more channels or am I missing something?
@@philipmeese6501 yes that's the main advantage. There are a few minor additional features but mostly it's more channels.
This is really well done. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing explanation of how to use the basics of this software! I was just thinking about how to do this kind of thing a couple weeks ago and then a youtuber I watch recommended this software, which led me to this video. Didn't realize when I started watching it that it was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. 😃
You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful. One thing: windows 10 added a built in audio router after I made this video, so the audio router software I mentioned is no longer needed.
I have rarely seen such a good well explained tutorial. This one is 10/10! Thanks a lot. It is quite old but just perfect. In the meantime Windows 11 allows you to define the output of sound per software so that makes it easier
Thank you! Yeah they added that in Win 10. Glad that this was helpful.
Hey man, pretty daaaaamn beautiful explanation you gave over here! Base Voicemeeter explanation I've found since I started dealing with it daily 3 months ago.
Thank you! I really need to update this video for things that have changed in the last 4 years since I made this. In particular how windows now includes built in audio routing so we don't need any external program to do that anymore.
Thanks for simple instruction.
You're welcome
Thank you! I have zero clue about using an audio meter and this just made my brain start to get it! #GratefulToYou
You're welcome. Glad this was helpful.
wow this video explained why voicemeeter is the software i needed
Came here from the voicemeeter official website, i was looking for what it can do and im absolutely shocked
i fell in love with this video omg thanks for the educational content
Wow! Thanks. Glad it was helpful
Great explanation. Managed to set up my computer to use Voicemeeter using this. Just one thing to add, Voicemeeter doesn't have to use a proprietary virtual audio cable. There are free alternatives around if anyone wants a completely free setup. I'm using one by muzychenko, his free version gives you 1 virtual audio cable free, so together with the free one from Voicemeeter, you get 2 of them.
Also, the virtual audio cable is not limited to inputs, you can use it for outputs as well. It's really just a cable. So if you need say 3 virtual outputs, you can just set A1 to a virtual audio cable.
Oh nice! I'll have to check out muzychenko's audio cable.
And thanks for the kind words. I'm glad the video was helpful.
you are best.i saw so many video but not understand.but you explain each and every details.very good job :)
Thank you
This is a great explain. Thanks!
Thanks. Glad it was helpful
Excellent! Just what I needed. Thanks a lot for your effort.
Glad it helped.
I just watched a different video about the same subject. I'm an engineer and have about 40 years of using mixers for sound reinforcement. Your video was much easier for me to follow and the diagram was really helpful to my understanding. My biggest hurdle is understanding how Windows handles audio. You got a Thumbs-up from me and I'll check out your channel to see what else you cover. (Not interested in gamboling though.) Thanks.
Thanks. Since I made this video windows has changed their audio management. You no longer need an external tool for audio routing. You can do it natively in windows
Makes using voicemeeter a lot easier.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME MAKING THIS VIDEO WITH ALL THIS TECH THESE DAYS AND TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE JUMPING PREAMPS TO ROUTE TO PROTOOLS FROM OBS DIDNT SEEM RIGHT.. I DONT PLAY POKER . i AM A ENERTAINER VIDEOS AND MUSIC . YOU HELP ME OUT SO MUCH WITH THIS 16MIN VIDEO IS WORTH A THANK YOU AND A SUB.

This is the best explanation that I've seen for Voicemeeter. I've seen many. Well done. For the first time I completely understand what virtual cables do thanks to you. Also, the Audio Router software is a must have. I'm downloading that now.
Thanks for the kind words
FYI if you have windows 10 updated to most recent update then there's an audio router built-in.

Hello 1dullgeek. Superior video - as everyone recognized! I found this Feb 1, 2022. Your video perfectly explained VMB in what I think is an audio streaming environment where audiophiles juggle many inputs, many outputs and many programs - being able to customize various input-to-output combinations. While your video was dead-on perfect, it was at a higher level than what I wanted. As a budding "Sim Racer" (not a 'streaming-audiophile'), I and many more like me out here need to use just a few of the feature-rich capabilities of VMB - to merely send Windows' audio (Sim Racing sounds) independently to 3 output devices without use of Y-splitters and/or external sound cards to 'split' audio. What audio output devices would Sim racers likely use? See below:
1) Headset,
2) haptic Buttkicker (via telemetry audio from "SimHub's Shaker" section), and,
3) an AV receiver (to play 7.1 THX sound through surround sound speakers).
I'm new to this but as I see it, that's only 1 solitary input (Windows Voicemeeter VAIO Virtual input?) sent to any combination of 3 output devices (A1, A2 and A3?). The only use of VMB would be to control the volume level of (or turn off) 3 outputs - thus allowing users to hear 1, 2 or 3 outputs in any combination - but no "switcheroo" of various hardware and software inputs to various outputs.
Would you please, please make a video (or post a text reply - or just send me an email?) that shows/tells the beginning to end sequence of A) how/where to assign Windows' audio as the default input/output of VMB (H1?), B) how/where to connect these 3 output devices to PC ports and C) how/where to assign Windows' audio to combinations of the 3 output devices above. My guess of the PC ports to use for the listed 3 output devices above is:
1) USB port?,
2) 'green' 3.5 jack?, (OR same thing but through SimHub) and,
3) HDMI from PC --> HDMI input of HDMI-equipped AV receiver - followed by receiver's HDMI output --> to monitors' eARC input (sends audio back to receiver - to send to speakers). I use HDMI here because low bitrate TOSlink optical connections will not pass 5.1 or 7.1).
Restated in simple words, all the above would show Sim Racers how to properly split game audio, send it to more than one output device (headsets, Buttkickers and AV receivers) simultaneously while independently controlling each device's audio - using VMB instead of Y-splitters and external sound cards.
In closing a message that may be too lengthy, I may not have optimally described this due to temporary ignorance in my understanding of using VMB in a simple sim racing situation. I think there are many more like me out here by the multitudes of posts I read about using Y-splitters and external sound cards to route Windows' single audio signal to two output devices (one of which comes through SimHub). While this method may work, I believe VMB is the optimum method. I believe this and don't know how to do it - while you DO know this and DO know how. If you would so kindly reply, I promise to explain your method in other discussion boards - giving your UA-cam Channel proper credit. Thank You. Happy and Safe Flying! (This message will be edited as appropriate - once on Feb 5, 2022).
First off, thanks for the kind words. I'm really glad that this video helped.
Second, nah. Not too much. Let me make sure I understand what you're asking. You basically want to send windows audio to 3 different outputs. And you want to see how that's done from absolute zero - e.g. default windows audio setup. I'm pretty sure I can show 1 & 2. I'm not sure I understand what the 3rd output is. But I'm not sure I need to. As long as that thing shows up in Windows as an audio device the process should be the same. What you do with it after that is entirely up to you.
Did I get what you're asking?
Thank you so much! Just like everyone else says, you're the better presenter on this software! The visual aid helped immensely! I do have a question though, how did you manage to get two cables? When I downloaded it, only one seems available. Thank you again! You're amazing!
When you make a donation you can get 4 extra cables.
And thank you for the kind words.
Great explanation... Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Really clear adn well explained ... thanks
Glad it was helpful!
That is really, really helpful!
Glad it was helpful
Love the video. Like everyone else best explanation I've heard so far. Been watching these for weeks now. I finally get it....One question though. Why do you have 2 outputs going to OBS? What is the purpose of 2 and what does each do?
Thanks. I have two outputs to OBS because, as I tried to explain in the video, I want different volume levels for different things. Having two outputs to OBS lets me set the volume level of the music lower than the volume level of everything else that i want OBS to pick up.
I have failed at installing this sooooooooo many times... I would just get frustrated with the poor instructions given in other videos. Literally I installed and deleted at least 5 times with the hope that some how magically it would just work.... NOPE. However I came to the point that for my needs I need to have this and I need to make it work. I go to the page and see this video with the graphic.... whats this? I click the link, watch the video and now I have hope and understanding! Thank you!! Like I cannot express enough how helpful the video is! Simple and made for a Audio n00b like me to actually understand what is going on... You Sir have done a great service to content creators the world over! Salute! o7
Thank you for the very kind words! I'm glad I could help.
I know this is 4yrs old now, but on your mic input use the COMP(Compressor) and GATE(Noise Gate) dials on your input mic(the one you speak into)! The reason is it will clean up you voice. First make sure the compressor is off! Now crank the volume up on your headphones(or speakers but headphones are easier and more detailed which is what you want for this section.). And see if there are any background noises, like a fan blowing, ac unit, background tv, parents yelling in the other room, etc. Turn the GATE knob clockwise until you get rid of that noise. Then start talking and make sure your not getting any artifacts(like the gate cutting off softer spoken words, or parts, etc). Then do things like make mouth noises, like spit, breathing, or whatever. Then turn the GATE knob more clockwise until you get rid of some of that noise, without making your speech sound messed up or any artifacts in your speech! If you get some, then that's the best you can do, and turn the dial back-counterclockwise(back to the direction you where at before you started experiencing vocal artifacts!)and see how that sounds. Then find the perfect balance of sound elimination/versus effecting your voice negatively(like cutting off speech or...breathe you might want in the recording, cause some is good but too much is bad, etc.) 2. Now that you have a balance with the GATE start to turn up the COMP(Compression). This will make your voice sound punchier so it will cut through better, and level out the volume spikes when you talk a bit(like talking really loud, then a bit quieter)so everyone can hear everything you say clearly, and it will add pleasing to the ear artifacts as well. But at first it will sound like squishy, by itself to your voice. Many times that will sound better if your gaming, or whatever, as it will cut through the mix better. But if you don't like that squishyness, then back off the COMP some! Now it will sound like it's getting quieter, but in reality all that's happening is the super loud screams are turned down a wee bit, and the softer parts are turned up a bit. Think of it like it's COMPacting your voice in a pair of vice grips, when you look at your voice like a WAV file! So that all the little spikes get bigger all over instead of it being so spikey! Now after you get your compression all set up, go back and make sure your GATE still works as it should, if not back it off a wee bit or to taste! Boom, you Voice has instantly been improved 100 fold!
Yes thank you. My purpose for this video would have been better served if I'd put some effort into the sound quality of my voiceover. I have since done that, but my only goal for this video was to explain to people how to use VoiceMeeter.
Thanks for watching and for the helpful comment.
You did it better than them all.
Thanks!
Good Job... I am ready to setup
Nice! Good luck.
watching this video in 2020 really helps me a lot biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig thumbs up to u thanks mate.
So glad this was helpful
Would be awesome if you made some more beginner tutorials for OBS!🤩 You have a great way of explaining
Thanks. 🤔
Thank you ! this helps a lot !
I'm really glad it helped!
Great work on the video. Voicemeeter does take a bit of thought to get your head around, you have great explanations. I've been using VM for about 2 years as part of a hybrid music production/personal computer setup. I think I've got my head around using ASIO too. Was going to make a tutorial style video, but I'm not really good at those.
What do you think of the new Windows 10 audio update that allows per application audio device selection??
Sorry for the late response. I have switched to using the windows 10 built-in audio routing. For the most part it works better because it remembers settings across reboots.
Underrated video quality!
Thank you
Very good video.. to the point... Thanks for your efforts..
Thanks!
Bro, i love this explanation
Glad it was helpful.
Very helpfully, thanks.

Thank you! Glad it helped.
VERRY GOOD visual explanation ! I would have done it a bit differently but... you got the gist of it. For the section you don't know about in the output section, it's quite simple : "Mute" does what it says; same for "Mono". "EQ" enable the equalizer that you set by right clicking over it. The way to configure the EQ ? Still working on it. The last button on top ? have no clue yet.
Thanks for the kind words!
