- Many of my subscribers and many of Voicemeeter users are using Voicemeeter wrong.. Natively Voicemeeter is a virtual audio mixer.. it is a perfect tool for separating audio sources on your desktop computer.. however, it is not perfect as enhancing, adjusting, or improving your microphone quality and output. Voicemeeter is a great app for mixing audio sources and should only be used for audio mixing.. the rest of the tools are rather elementary and don't offer the necessary functions for massive improvement.

#TheFranswah #Voicemeeter - Jak na to + styl
As of Voicemeeter Potato version 3.0.5.x it now has per-channel input EQ's like on the output section, as well as parameter options on the noisegate and compressor by rightclicking either of them. It is actually hella usefull now.
Oh, and streamer view is usefull for creating a full mixdown channel, kinda like how the GO-XLR does it, as long as you set the channel linking mode to none. So now my VAIO 3 channel is my stream-mixdown, with individual sources still present for recording purposes.
I honestly only touch the volume sliders in VM and I still couldn't do without it. .. just wish it had a customizable UI
haha ikr bro needs an upgrade big time.
When it comes to "EQs"... I'll take a 31-band Graph over a Parametric, Para-graphic, Sweep or fixed(bass/mid/treble) Eq any day. But I have been an audio engineer for decades and for new people, learning "what frequency-slider on a graph does what"... can be daunting if your ears aren't experienced. VST's and VSTi's are an amazing technology I've been lucky enough to use in various DAWs for years and I was BLOWN AWAY! My JAW DROPPED... when you showed us that OBS can use VST's???? I was like.. "Whaaaaaaaaat?" Great video man! I need to dig deeper into OBS! TYVM!!!
I used to use VM to separate and control audio sources, chat, mic... But now I use an OBS Plugin called AudioMonitor and in the filters I send that source through virtual cables. Is it the best solution? No. Does it work? Well.. yes. Thanks for your videos! it's the second I watch and i don't know if you already made a video about obs plugins, but i'll be checking out more of your vids. Great info you giving.
VoiceMeeter has introduced full gate and compression controls. There's no reason to not use VoiceMeeter. It's all in one, lays it out pretty simple, you don't have to navigate OBS's tedious layouts and it gives the user easier and quicker access to volume controls.
Hey, this is 2 months old but I'm wondering how to find the full gate controls. How do I enable it?
@@scoliosaurus9611 right click on the 'comp' rotary dial on the strip. Gate will be at the bottom.
@@scoliosaurus9611 You need the latest update of voicemeeter. Then you can just right click the gate or compressor and you get full control of it.
@@scoliosaurus9611 You have to be using Voicemeeter Potato
VM is bad for everything. It's poorly made, doesn't work well, and the creators blame the users for everything, promising to make the VM better. None of the serious people working with sound would recommend this rubbish for anything.
Amazing. You're the only video i saw that advice about using equalizer outside of voicemeter. I always thought voicemeter is one for all, this makes much more sense.
Thank you all for watching!
Voicemeeter has added features that allow you to control many more details of the audio properties since this video was made.
I cannot understand how so many people misuse VoiceMeeter just to get more virtual audio channels in OBS. Why? Just Why? If you just start to use VoiceMeeter the way it is intended, you get so much more control over your sound routing! Heck, i have 7 audio input channels + 2 microphone inputs, I use 4 different output mixes and I have hardware controls for VoiceMeeter. I do my microphone mixing inside the Equalizer APO and have readily postprocessed microphone sound (even with switchable sound effects) everywhere I want it to be. OBS, Discord, In-Game Voicechat, whatever.
you can do that in equalizer apo????
Question; I have a second computer I want to use my VM on. I was changing the challenge code or what they call regen I think and there is some cool down on that from what I remember. It’s unnecessarily complex but the last time I have messed with it has been over a year ago. I now need it on my laptop, so is it better just to donate again and get an entirely separate voice meter account? Or can I own two with my same email thus being two different challenge and response codes that won’t interfere with eachother?
Do you have any videos on how to use Patch Insert #2 or #3 in Voicemeeter? Everyone uses Patch Insert #1 and that works fine for me and all videos on CZcams explain how to activate it. However, no one seems to explain how to get Patch Insert #2 or #3 to work. When I try to use them, I get no audio whatsoever. I don't know what I'm missing.
How do I stop it from echoing my friends
I'd like to take my microphone and discord to mix these together into one source to use in OBS. I use ducking for audio and my present setup, before understanding how voicemeter works, is one compressor sidechained from each of these sources separately and with effects on etc. I'd like it to be just one mix for speech and not so taxing on the CPU by going everything double. I don't yet understand voicemeter to set things up.
Correct me if I am wrong Franswah Studio, but I think what he was demonstrating here was that he was NOT using VoiceMeeeter as a "source" for his mic within OBS. Rather, he was using his mic as a DIRECT source WITHIN OBS and using VSTs to compress/EQ his mic to the stream giving him more precise control over the sound of his mic(better than what VoiceMeeeter can do).... then you could just use VoiceMeeeter to mix everything else (game sound, background music etc) INTO OBS as a separate input-sources for the stream... if THAT makes sense? In a nutshell, VoiceMeeeter is NOT sending his mic to OBS, rather, OBS/VSTs are already there...more control over the mic sound! Did I get it right Franswah?
(hard to explain)
How would one apply this to communications in games, discord, zoom, etc.? Someone that isn't a live streamer.
I have a problem, I don't know if you could help me, it turns out that I use the program but after a few minutes they start listening to me robotically, I don't know if there is any solution, I've already tried everything
Wouldn't setting up your audio in OBS only work for streaming and recording and not setting up the microphone for use in things like zoom, discord, or in game? Genuine question I'm not sure if that is true or not.
Yes
I had a working system with TWO computers... one streamed to Twitch with OBS(game/game audio) and the 2nd for Google Meet so we could play jackbox Games with the family without THEM having to hear my "desktop audio(including their own voices echoing back)" while we connected with Google Meet.... I JUST learned of voiceMeeeter and am hoping I can do ALL of this now with just ONE PC now.... /fingers crossed
I watched your video how to set it up around 15 times already. Installed and uninstalled Voicemeeter and the virtual audio cable a few times. But i cannot make it work playing music through Zoom! All works well till I open Zoom, that the music starts cracking. I am a therapist who works with people online. I need Voicemeeter only to do my Zoom calls so I can seperate volume of my voice and of the music. Any tips?
Can you advise me how to connect Voicemeeter potato with davinci. I can not get my mic to attach in davinci
My probelm is, how would I take my mic audio to discord or other games! :) people I speak with in game are not happy with how my MIC sounds...
ok so i have a dumb question but an imp one - how to use the headset's mic (sony XM4)as mic on laptop ,like on a discord call or something , im using voicemeter banana and have set it up following the video...
No matter how many tutorials on Voicemeeter you will make, I will NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW will work!!
Voicemeeter is a bit complex.. takes time to learn
Yeah I know, the irony is, it's because his voice is to overbearing and loud.....basically his mic is setup shit tbh ! lol
@@sbg2005 my mic is set for -6db peak.. it’s not overbearingly loud
@@TheFranswahStudio Ahh. must be where you're a yank or something and don't realise how cunty the frequency's are....who cares about db
Nice vid! I need some advice, i run a Seriesx xbox stream through my pc to twitch. Ive setup my potato thanks to your videos. So my desktop has streamlabs obs game audio, going into my headset. There is a fractional delay in my game audio reaching my headset to what i see on my xbox. Even with matching all the frequencys with each audio device.
I have a elegato 4k capture card built in so put this into a hardwate input as a workaround, to hear my game volume with 0 latency. However this means i can no longer run my desktop volume into my headset, removing the ability to hear all stream alerts, such as follows , etc. Is there a way to remove the desktop latency, or to somehow split the alerts in obs from the desktop audio?
There is 0 videos on how to do this if its possible for a console streamer, please help! Failing this i will have to get a go xlr or something similar.
wait.. setting up the capture card should remove desktop audio from being heard!! hop in my discord server and the community should be able to assist a bit. ill try to help as well.
@@TheFranswahStudio thanks will do
What about live audio processing rather then just for OBS ?
Equalizer APO or a VST Host as mentioned in the vid!
Once again a very good video with excellent info
Another great one Franswah 💪
😎 thanks team
Just curious, as of today and with the new Voicmemeeter Potato's massive update, do you still recommend not using the built-in compressor, noise gate, intellipan, and multiband compressor?
was wondering this myself just right clicked it and saw all the options pop up didn't have a clue haha xD
i wish they add some gate/comp/eq customizable values
its still so limited.. been saying for years they need to add vst support.. thats why ive been pushing to create my own app lol
what's the font name you used when some info pop on the screen ?
Obelisk Pro
The issue Im having is outside of OBS. I removed voicemeeter and set up obs with the plugins you suggested to separate audio sources, then followed your video on how to make my mic sound good in OBS, and it does sound amazing, ty, but all my sound outside of OBS lacks now. I considered installing voicemeeter again but then just heard you say there are better out there. Could you point me in the right direction of those? Or a video you did that I may have missed?
Equalizer APO can setup with the same plugins you did in OBS and will apply everywhere
@@TheFranswahStudio I am so on it! Thanks for such a quick reply too. Youre the only tech guy imo!
You got some good content. Actually, there is a better way if they have a little money. You could purchase a inexpensive audio interface with loopback. I recommend Audient Evo 4 or 8, Motu M2 or M4. Can then use audacity, Reaper or any DAW to add eq, reverb and record to separate channels for video editing in post. This is how the pros do it. The more software you use, the clunkier it will get. Dedicated machine for audio is great. Or a dedicated recording setup.
Looks like youre using the Shure MV7 via USB. I just picked one up and the levels are sooooo low. How have you found it & how are you getting your levels high enough?
I don’t like it if I’m being honest - I think for the price there are better mics. But I had to make sure the levels on windows was all the way up and added even more gain within my recording software
bro if u want to use reaplugs, run it through something like minihost, then through voicemeeter, then it's still a systemwide device
OBS is great but always has a slight GPU hit, which I don't want. Tried Voicemeeter and came away disappointed. Wish I had seen this first.
Im thinking of stop using voicemeeter because it prevents sleep mode :/ also it still have crackling issues with Discord somehow but not with OBS or Audacity
my voicemeeter just do a little cracking sound when watching videos or streams but not much
check out this video - czcams.com/video/Gb-PsrIVChY/video.html could be the fix you need
Nice one!
Thanks Terry!
another thing is, VM takes up precious CPU usage, especially crucial for gamers
less than 1% for me lol.
Will this work to EQ your voice going through xbox game chat??
My computer crackle only comes from using Voicemeter
I just saw your thumbnail in google search results and I came to tell you that you resemble the Pew
If you want to use vst plugins for voicemeeter then get light host
I have covered this extensively... there is no direct vst support causing friction and latency that you dont need. light host is a vst host.. just runs lightweight.. however, its not ideal and again limited.. when the app itself could create vst support directly within in the app.
I think i need u to redo my setup on voicemeeter. It works for me but every video u do on voicemeeter i have it sooo incorrectly.
less is more with compression and EQ if that is what you're referring to.
Like can i just pay you to set my voicemeter up? Please.
Thanks for the video, I need to stop being lazy and set it up again.
Setup voicemeeter? It’s a great touch for streaming :)
@@TheFranswahStudio It is! I have used before but was too lazy to set it up after I wiped my computer clean.
I fail to see how youve shown us how to use this program "correctly" since were using it "wrong"...... Did you give even one alternative to how people normally use this???
Thank you.
I don't use voice meater for microphone prossesing or seporating audio sources, I do all of that in side of obs, planning to do a vid on how soon
Covered the plugin awhile back. Prior to anyone else
Did no one show him how to right click the knob to open up the attack time etc?
Just so everyone is aware… this is a NEW feature AFTER this video was made. Enjoy your life.
Yup I found compression to be unusable with voicemeeter
sounds about right lol
Thanks Pewdiepie!
Morse code blinks
video is not accurate, all you have to do is right click on the option gate and comp and you get the meters you are saying that are not there
Just so everyone is aware… this is a NEW feature AFTER this video was made. Enjoy your life.
0:01 to 0:05 i hear 0 difference
voicemeeter has been nothing but a pain in the arse. MME levels are so low it's impossible to use, WDM randomly audio gets turned into garbled trash. no amount of tweaking to the "buffers" solves either issue, it's just the software is hot garbage
:)
yea but im not smart enough to use plugins and i dont have enough patience to set shit up so didnt ask dont care
This program is actually garbage. It takes up way too much system resources inefficiently, the manual is in French and so are the help files, you cant resize the window and its just way too complicated to use even for people who work with real mixers.
Not only that, I have an i7 10800F processor and get crackling all the time for doing extremely basic things like playing FL studio into my mic so I can play hand written music in video games through my mic.
Totally wish there was just a better English version of this program that had basic functionality "that works" and allowed more customization.
I heard no difference tbh.
tbh? You mean to be honest? Took me 2 seconds to type the words. Are you usually dishonest?
@@davescomputercorner6015 awww show me where the mean guy hurt you... idgaf how long it takes you to type shit btw
@@Nobody2day553 tbh? lol? lmao? rofl?
PEWDIEPIE!???!!
hahahhaa I was looking for this comment
voicemeeter sounds better
Its overcompressed, unnatural, and dark.
are you going to update your video about apo
Going to make an easier to follow along video for it :)
