VB-Audio Matrix: The Ultimate Windows Audio Router
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- VB-Audio just released a new piece of software called VB-Audio Matrix. VB-Audio Matrix a simple real-time audio router for Windows much like Voicemeeter, but solely focused on audio routing without any built-in effects and other audio processing. It is capable of routing any source and individual audio channel separately. In this video I'll give a quick overview over this new application and the general use.
The video covers the following topics:
- How to connect different audio devices (ASIO, WDM (WASAPI) / KS / MME) to the matrix
- How to route audio between different audio channels

This is great for DAWs that don't allow you to output to another interface. Perfect solution for what we use at church to mix/route audio to our broadcast.
I was initially confused about VB Matrix but this video helped me understand better. Currently my setup doesn't need such extensibility. Banana, ASIO Bridge, Virtual cable is all I need to achieve everything I want. The only issue remains is Windows, where "App volume and device preferences" do not stay set.
Yes it's definitely not for everyone's use case! I think the Windows Audio Stack will always have some problems and never will fully satisfy the advanced user.
Excellent video, will surely experiment.
Hi, I just heart of this new release. I got VoiceMeeter Potato and ASIO Link Pro and ASIO Link Pro worked well, but this thing is not intuitive.
I will try VB Matrix, that seems to be a streamlined approach to ASIO Link Pro. Thanks for that video, mate!
great alternative for Dante Via
Thank you so much
I'm using it with VoiceMeeter and the combination is excellent. I've been using VoiceMeeter for routing and level control in a complex configuration of radios, but there is a signal which contains unrelated information on the two (left and right) channels. I wanted to split these out to two separate mono signals and VoiceMeeter does not do that well. Matrix makes it easy - and I can add some additional gain which I needed as well.
A question - is there any API into Matrix? I control my configuration from an external program that calls the VoiceMeeter API - it would be really good to be able to select Matrix patches from that program too!

I think you can send the commands shown in the cli window via vban chat, but i havent tried that.
PT-BR: pretendia usar o Matrix para agregar mais placas de som para mais saídas e não usar mais Asio4all, mas acho que não entendi direito o software ou como fazer isso. Teria alguma dica?
testing it now its little crasy what you can route this togheter with rme interface😆
If only someone would make a d a w that allows you to create a new audio track and simply use a virtual cable as the source
how would you connect youtube output into a input bus inside bitwig (or any other DAW)?
e.g. route the youtube browser output to one of the vaio interfaces and then use matrix and route the vaio interface into one of the vasio interfaces. inside your daw you just have to use the matrix vasio device you are routing your youtube audio to.
Hi, I'm trying to get two audio outputs to combine, that way I'll be able to hear both but obs will only record one, do you know how this would be possible with this
I suggest you joining the VB-Audio Discord, there you can get advanced help and you are able to describe your problem in detail.
Is it possible to combine two audio interfaces and record in a DAW in Win11?
you should be able to assign multiple asio devices inside of matrix
Thank you for sharing this. I'm stuck with something.
I would like to use my external mic for Ms teams calls.
I would like the chain to be
Mic
Audio interface
Reaper (for effects)
VB audio
Ms teams
Is that possible?
i dont know if audio effects are applied to the monitor output in reaper, but if so, you can route your audio like this: mic -> matrix -> reaper -> matrix -> teams. but i would strongly discourage you from using any daw not built for that purpose for applying any audio effects in a live environment. if would suggest using a vst host to apply audio effects through vst plugins. for that purpose you can try lighthost or cantabile. or if you just need a baseic noise gate and compressor, maybe give voicemeeter a try.
Would be good if you bit it longer operation, windows audio routing multiple devices or cable routing
Yes, this was primarily intended as a quick demo for advanced usecases for users already familiar with Voiemeeter.
does it support routing presets which you can easily switch within?
yes with the latest version you can store different presets, either for the whole routing grid or specific zones in the grid
@@NavyTheNerd Noice!
Can you use this with voicemeeter? I want to use two ASIO devices in voicemeeter
yes you can use both alongside. just use the voicemeeter asio capabilities
i only get the left signal coming through, do you have a solution?
in matrix you need to route each channel manually. maybe you only have routed your left channel
@@NavyTheNerd thanks, fixed it
Great video but can you please work on your mic a bit so we can't hear the wetness when you talk. It seems you are no using a gate or expander to remove these unwanted noises. It made it very distracting to watch. But thank you for the video!
yes I definitely will keep an eye on that, noticed it in post, but didn't have the time to re-record at the time
can i used this to elgato wavelink?
Yes you should be able to route audio either from wavelink to matrix or from matrix to wavelink.
@@NavyTheNerd thank you.☑
I don't have an audio interface with audio loop back. I guess this will save me from dropping a few hundred to simply just route audio from Cubase to OBS, huh?
If you only wanna route audio from one application to another i would say yes. You could always upgrade to hardware solutions if the virtual software routing is not enough for you.
@@NavyTheNerd this actually seems to be EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I just wanted to make sure it's general purpose and ability for audio loop back. Btw, well done on this video.
