Will THIS OBS Studio plugin kill VoiceMeeter?

[@StevenConning]

It is an essential plugin and should be built into OBS, in my opinion. The biggest thing is if you have apps playing to dedicated to audio devices, you would need to keep OBS open all the time to route the audio when you aren't streaming. That's the only thing that you'd still need Voicemeeter for. I'm thinking about what changes I want to make considering I have this functionality now.

[@johnh6689]

"Will THIS OBS Studio plugin kill VoiceMeeter?" God I hope so.

[@CybaGirl]

Sorry to bother you. But can you please tell me what are the issues with VoiceMeeter? I know it is confusing trying to set it up but I haven''t noticed any other issues. But now I don't use it after last night.

[@lifepath7741]

I can't express in any languages on this Planet, how much I hate Voicemeeter!!!! Vladimir Putin must destroy his software, not Ukraine.

[@reverse2358]

Same. Tbh I do NOT want to install another software for my microphone when OBS has this. At least it will save me up some space for when I want to tab into other games or software.

[@SunnyHippies]

Voicemeter is awesome and easy to use

[@drScorp1on]

The overall info was nice since I didn't know up until yet about that plug-in. However, if you don't mind some constructive criticism, the 'presentation' was highly confusing, to say the least.

[@agizm0]

Outside of streaming, the main thing I use VB-Cable for is routing audio to Teams/Zoom/WebEx meetings. I set the advanced audio properties of OBS to monitor my microphone and set the monitor device to VB-Cable Input. In the meetings apps I set the mic to VB-Cable output. Why do all of this? For the audio filters (gate, compressor, expander mostly).

[@RustyBrakes]

I guess you have to give up any real-time monitoring of your mic for this? That's the trade-off I'm not quite ready to make so far, perhaps open-backed headphones would be a nice middle ground

[@agizm0]

@Rusty Brakes I'm using a Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ and using the monitor function of the mic. I don't get to monitor myself with filters, but it's a good enough setup.

[@dacid44]

Yeah, same. I use Voicemeeter for wayyy more than just OBS. Also, I have kinda fallen in geek love with the elegant simplicity of the VBAN protocol to the point of writing my own broadcaster lol

[@KendallGilbert]

I use it to spam sound effects during meetings

[@ElijahCiali]

I personally don't think VoiceMeeter will become irrelevant after this, I use it a lot outside of OBS and the way patching works is way more familiar to me as an audio engineer. Still cool to see must-have features being developed as plugins, if I didn't use VoiceMeeter for other things then I'd hate to have to install it for OBS.

[@Hr1s7i]

I think it's a hidden gem. I didn't know how much I needed it, until I installed it. Takes solid hour of playing around to learn the basics, but after one makes a mental map of how things interconnect, it becomes very intuitive.

[@MichaelW.1980]

Though I find this plugin highly interesting, it will ~NOT~ kill Voicemeeter (VM in short). And there is a simple reason why. Still, everything would go through OBS. One might ask: Why is this a problem? Because while streaming, the delay of the Monitoring Output can rise continuously rise. I had issues before, when I tried to monitor the sound from OBS, the delay did rise while streaming until I reached a horrible delay of almost half a minute (!!) But lets say you don't run into those issues. Even then, this introduces quite a bit of delay to the sound. If on the other hand you use VM on an audio interface with a good ASIO connection, the delay added can be pretty much unnoticeable. More possible issues with using OBS: 1) You have only 4 Channels for Recording devices to be used globally. The first two global audio devices are playback devices, which MAYBE work, but depending on your use case, you might end up limiting yourself. You can of course add more channels to each scene, but you don't want to do that per scene. Its a mess to keep track of. I for myself currently use 8 (!) audio Channels within VM Potato. (Yep, all of them!) 2) You get a more controllable monitoring output, but you don't get additional outputs, like you would with VM. In VM, you can have to 8 outputs at a time. While that might sound overkill at first, get this: I am currently using 5 Outputs . Two of them go to OBS, one with a Streaming mix, another one with a Recording Mix. Next, I have one output for Voice Chat. Usually, that one only transfers my microphone sound, but then again, I can mute said output, without muting. And trust me, you want this mute function at the same place as you have the muting for the stream or monitoring your microphone! And on top of those 3 Outputs, I have 2 separate Monitoring Outputs. 3) You need to keep OBS running pretty much all the time, so you can hear the channels available in there. But since you do not stream 24:7, this can be annoying to say the least, especially if you run a single PC streaming setup. Maybe you want to play games of stream, your PC cannot stream at the same time, because its not powerful enough. 4) Using a DAW Controller to get hardware controls over your multichannel set up. Try to add a DAW Controller to OBS. Just try it. It's a pain. 2 Plugins are needed just to do that and even if it works, I wonder if it works with the Audio Monitor Plugin without issues. No matter, if it does: You end up with a mess of plugins and each of them needs to be occasionally updated, to keep working with the newest Version of OBS Studio. VM on the other hand keeps getting updated and doesn't meddle with OBS Studio at all. And pretty much any DAW Controller can be connected to VM and configured to your personal needs. Granted, setting up a DAW Controller - though straight forward enough - is a lot of work, but it would be the same no matter where you want to set it up (not counting professional DAW Software, where it MIGHT be easier.) All of that being said, I will definitely stick with Voicemeeter Potato.

[@DaleStrickland]

Your writeup was super helpful, thank you. I was just about to learn VM before I stumbled on this video and I wasn't certain which direction to go; I'll be sticking with Voicemeeter!

[@llamaseeker9416]

Thanks for the explanation. I'm currently looking into how to best route my audio and your comment answered a lot of my questions!

[@MrBuggitt]

I've replaced voicemeeter with Reaper+Synchronous Audio Router, and some hardware for my mic. I freaking love it.

[@timmycoyle1826]

yeah, SAR was a hot mess to sort out, but having sorted it, this is the a sweet combo, and now OBS with ASIO integration..

[@Tephra]

Hell yeah. Am audio engineer, and none of these janky solutions were giving me the level of control and intuitiveness I wanted. Being able to independently route all audio sources through a fully fledged DAW, through as many Windows audio devices as you want, with the only hardware needed being a decent ASIO interface, was a total game changer. Despite setup being far from hassle free, it's largely set-and-forget as soon as you're happy with the configuration.

[@DanielRios549]

In my machine, SAR gets bugged when start Reaper, it does not create the virtual devices but does not stop, it simply does not load anything. I'm using Asio4All

[@F0zzybe3ar]

Andi Lippi did a video on this when it was released. Such a good plug in for those without a goxlr /elgato wave mic

[@ComposingGloves]

For those wondering, it doesn't work with ASIO. The whole reason I use voice meter is for ASIO outputs on my interface. Still cool. Maybe one day?

[@drScorp1on]

Glad I read your comment. Might save me a few headaches.

[@jscarnage1222]

VAC (Virtual Audio Cable) is a program I use that allows you to select how many virtual cables you want up to 256 cables. It has a low price for a license but is powerful for the plugins like this.

[@JamesBermingham]

Great informative video as always. I Will download this and see how it works for my music performance set up. Currently I’m using 2 audio cards to solve my ASIO issue. Voicemeter never worked properly for me, nothing but Audi glitches and crashes. Having the 2nd audio card has been a Godsend solution. This plugin may be another solution.

[@LordPicasoNL]

Exeldro is realy a Plugin God ;P

[@USteppin]

Can I use this plugin to have Discord voice chat only be heard by me and not my stream on the same audio device? Or are voicemeeter/vb-cables still required for something like that? I found the video a little confusing sorry.

[@Quelkaima]

This is something I've been sorely lacking: something that's fairly straightforward that lets me have fine control over what I hear and what viewers hear. Now if I can get a different capture card that'll work with OBS, I'll be set.

[@unitedfools3493]

It only offers what Voicemeeter offers (although granted it may not be straightforward) while being was less powerful I'm confused.

Recently Voicemeeter was causing one of the main games I stream to crash constantly so I had to uninstall it. This is going to help me so much, thank you!

[@Dreigo42]

I kinda did some of this using Elgato's Sound Capture utility and a Windows Store app called EarTrumpet. By default on my system, my primary output device is "Elgato Sound Capture" and goes to EVERY device. I can then use EarTrumpet to adjust/mute apps on the different devices. Then OBS is set to capture one or several of those devices. Has worked pretty well in my use and works ALL the time outside of OBS.

[@datlaunchystark1385]

Currently screaming "NO FRIEKEN WAY!!!" right now. XD Been waiting for this since downloading OBS in 2017. :D

[@Ganerrr]

i wont use this because of the introduction of higher delay and the lack of Vcables. voicemeeter works pretty well but its kinda janky and ugly, so a better solution built into obs for generic audio mixing (not specialized for steaming specifically, however could input obs sources) would be amazing

[@Shutterbun4]

Oh shit...when you mentioned "audio going to monitors but I'm not using it" my brain exploded. OF COURSE! There are at least half a dozen audio streams floating around in my computer, no need for Voicemeeter to add more. Oh man, big brain moment right there.

[@CoalitionGaming]

Hmmm this in combination with a MIDI controller like the Korg NanoKontrol2 and the MIDIControl plugin for OBS could provide a hardware solution to also control the faders/monitors this plugin provides, which would be super nice as well.

[@Coffeeratgaming]

u also coud potentially get somthing little fancy as well like x-touch compact

[@WarMomPT]

Ooooh, this is neat, even if just for the utility of per-source monitoring devices or previewing each local recording track. Like voicemeeter I think this will be great for people who truly have those niche applications that Voicemeeter demands, but like you said, most people don't need VM. It frustrates me that nine times out of ten I see people asking 'how can I isolate my game audio' and replies just immediately jump to voicemeeter when that's just adding more complications and points of potential failure when all you really need is the singular, free VB Cable (if that, like how you use your screen to more or less have a virtual cable built in to your setup, or RTX Voice / Nvidia broadcast can act the same way).

[@KuroHebi]

This plugin won't replace Voicemeeter because Voicemeeter can be used with other software, and even split audio to multiple outputs. It doesn't limit itself to only use in OBS Studio.

[@BrightEyesWolf]

Cue that Cr1TiKaL clip: Yeah Baby! That’s what I’ve been waiting for!

[@FroobTubeLIVE]

If Voicemeeter had volume control hotkeys that didn't involve a certain level of coding to understand, and if the OBS plug-in "win-capture-audio" by bozbez didn't already exist, AND if Voicemeeter didn't have unique issues related to the requirement of being on all the time in order for any of your audio to work, Voicemeeter would have a chance for me. On top of all that, there's a separate piece of software (not a plug-in) that's easy to use, called VolumeControl. You can set hotkeys to adjust volume for specific apps, including internet browsers. So correct me if I'm wrong, but with the apparent lack of hotkeys to "step" up & down the audio with the plug-in being showcased in this video, Audio Monitor and Voicemeeter both seem like a lost cause compared to the absolute power combo of VolumeControl & win-capture-audio. Check 'em out here: VolumeControl: github.com/radj307/volume-control/releases win-capture-audio: github.com/bozbez/win-capture-audio/releases (NOT A PAID SHILL)

I am a clarinet lesson teacher who has been saved by OBS and VoiceMeeter for the past year, due to being able to have 2 separate mic channels for my audio input (Dynamic mic for my voice [1+1] and my dual condenser clarinet mic for my instrument [2+2]. With this OBS plugin, would I be able to do the same thing here and separate my Mic 1 & Mic 2 inputs or would OBS still recognize it as one input regardless?

Can you show how to get Discord on a different track than my other desktop sounds?

[@WereCatStudio]

Discord input: My mic Discord output: VB-Audio CABLE Input OBS 1st Audio device: VB-Audio CABLE Input - (for Discord) OBS 2nd Audio device: Realterk Digital Output - (for PC audio) OBS input: My mic Then in the OBS Audio Mixer I've set my SMSL M6 (headphones) output as a listening device for both audio devices via the plugin in the Filters menu. In windows the Realtek must be set as a default audio device in this particular configuration otherwise the game will use whatever else is the default. (Realtek because that's what I set in OBS as a PC/Game audio). Only disadvantage to this thus far is that I have to either have OBS turned on to hear sounds from the PC or I need to manually change the audio device in Windows to my SMSL M6 if I don't want to have OBS opened. If you don't have your motherboards audio free and you are not using a different sound card then this will not work for you unless you get the paid version of the VB-Cable to get one extra VB-Audio CABLE Input. I don't know if this is a great solution, maybe there is a lot better way to do it. It works for me though.

Great video, but definitely not a VoiceMeeter killer. I may install this for some of the audio controls to be moved into OBS. For starters, it doesn't support network audio... which is a key reason I use VM. I pipe my audio from my Stream PC over to my Game PC and vice-versa... 1 mic for stream and in game comms, I can pull game comms out and hear them w/o stream hearing them, etc... VM is way more refined and has features this doesn't touch on. That said, if I was on a single machine, and didn't want to learn the extras in VM, it looks pretty good. Thanks for reviewing it!!

[@traversejurcisin808]

I was super excited after seeing this because I've been using Voicemeeter for awhile now to do a lot of things, and it's limited/ convoluted. I got the plug-in to work for a lot of things with little fuss. However, having audio drivers run on Windows, OBS, Voicemeeter, and GoXLR caused my Realtech audio drivers to somehow get damaged. I reinstalled them, which changed somethings, but for now the signals from my physical line in and mic in cables are getting mixed. In my sound control panel I see both mic in and line in as "ready" inputs, but only one of them has monitoring bars. When I rebooted, the monitoring bar switched from the line-in to the mic-in. I've tried a few things so far to get everything working again, but not having changed my hardware, I can't use Voicemeeter to accomplish what I was previously accomplishing after installing this plug-in and messing with it. If I figure out why that happened, and how to work around it, I'll write back. Might anyone have any ideas on how that happened and how to fix it?

[@arunogmc9348]

I was looking for such plugin!!! Thank you to let us know

[@HowardOlsen]

Thanks for this! Maybe you could put out a video help with a problem that I and MANY MANY others have when using Zoom. I use a USB interface as Audio Input and Output Device. It works great. OBS is amazing for assembling scenes and sending them over to Zoom through Virtual Cam but Desktop audio doenst follow. To get audio from OBS to Zoom, I / we have to set Virtual Cable as monitoring device in OBS and then set Virtual Cable as Input (mic) in Zoom. That works except now when I'm playing desktop audio in OBS, my zoom attendees can hear it but I cant.... and for months, I and many others have not found a work around for this. Could this plug in be the fix? Maybe like this. Send the the audio to zoom through VB Cable and set up a new monitoring device - Interface so I can hear the audio that's playing. Anyway - a video that covers this challenge for us Zoom meeting / obs users would be huge. thanks!

[@HowardOlsen]

I just tried it as described above and i get local sound and capture audio in zoom but the zoom audio is very noisy and distorted but it's progress. Unusable, but progress..

[@DaveTheRave81]

so with this plugin & virtual audio cables is it possible to route discord / game & music separately into obs now. i would like to adjust all audios individually for the stream. P.S using single pc setup with no GoXLR or elgato wave.

[@kmemz]

This might replace VM for me even for non-stream purposes! I use VM a lot to separate the audio channels on my XLR ADC, apply separate volumes and filters, and then feed one back to me, and rejoin both into the output. It allows me to use my phone as a soundboard in games, by plugging the 3.5 from it into the secondary microphone port on my ADC, while also setting a noise gate and filter on my actual microphone. It works great in VR as well, as I can use Teamviewer on my phone to stream it to PC, and have it in my hand to actually use and hear, and I can turn whether other people hear it (usually in social VR platforms) on and off. Being able to use OBS'es filters for this purpose could greatly expand what I can do with this type of audio routing/rerouting setup.

[@DarkSwordsman]

I think it's a good concept, but the two main issues are: 1) Apparently latency, as others have mentioned. I recently noticed latency in Voicemeeter (especially MME devices) and it's horrible when you're playing games like CSGO or Tarkov where latency can ruin the experience. 2) If you have multiple programs (game, discord, and maybe music from a separate music service, like the licensed monstercat player in browser), then you can't split their audio. The best would be to have zero latency audio copies. I haven't actually worked with audio cables (only the voicemeeter program), so I don't know if they can do this, but to be able to send audio to a cable, and then split that cable however many times you want. This way, you can send discord, game, and music to three separate devices, and then mix them in OBS. Otherwise, with this method, I would have to mute my music, game, and discord all at once if I, say, needed to say something private to someone on discord.

[@dashofawesome64]

MME has alot of layering from windows itself creating alot of latency. If you use the WDM its already a lot less. If that still isnt enough you could lower it in the driver or voicemeeter. i.imgur.com/ivWfuuO.png i.imgur.com/n3E0OBx.png

I completely reinstalled everything and still get the same problem. With nothing else added, just a fresh wipe of OBS, and the audio monitor plugin. As soon as I add the audio monitor filter to something all the sound from everything suddenly becomes robotic, tinny, and LOUD, and even when I pause the sound it becomes 'frozen' on one tone. Removing the filter immediately fixes the problem. I haven't got any other audio things installed on my computer like virtual cables that might be messing with it.

so ive set up for ps4/5 with duel mic on in the playstation to chat to the party chat then headphones in pc to hear all the audio and chat to stream so my question is thier a way to split the party chat audio out of the desktop audio as game sound alerts etc all come through the headset

I just love the idea of only need OBS for my MS Teams meetings. I have used OBS for quite some time now, and always need VoiceMeeters for sharing my desktop sound (whithout sharing a screen/window). With this plugin and turtorial I can SEND, but whatabout receiving the sound from the other participants in the meeting? Since "they" come in via desktop sound, as soon as I share my desktopsound using for example a soundboard, they (the participants) will here them self. How do I avoid/solve that?

[@gessupcoaching349]

this just made my day!!!

[@JohnyMacGames]

This probably just killed Streamlabs for me. The main thing I like with SLOBS is the "streamdeck" app you can use with it. But I hate voicemeter and this plugin to me is probably more useful at this time in my channels progress. Ty for the video!

[@CoalitionGaming]

Touch Portal will be the answer for you to get back that functionality

[@JohnyMacGames]

@@CoalitionGaming hell! Dunno why I never saw this before! Sent a sub your way! Thanks so much!

A plugin I've always wanted was the ability to have recording and streaming to be completely split from each other. Control which sources are recorded vs streamed, and control the settings each one gets recorded at. (30 fps stream vs 60fps recording for example). Currently the only alternative is just to have 2 OBS windows open.

[@davidskidmore3442]

The FPS thing is already possible; in your recording options you have to uncheck the 'use stream encoder' box, and then set whatever options you want for recording (this uses more resources, obviously, as you are encoding each frame twice). Same for audio, you can stream 'channel 1' and record 'channel 2' and use the advanced properties on the audio mixer to select what audio goes where. if you need to have different levels, I believe you can add the same audio input as two audio sources in the scene, once for stream (set to use only channel 1) and a second time for recording (only channel 2).

I just started using OBS, but is there any option to treat different apps/programs, as separate audio tracks from the "desktop audio" ? I wanna be able to manually adjust and separate PSO2 and other games audios from the desktop audio, just like windows lets you adjust the volume of different apps independently.

[@ronelm2000]

I'm not sure if Audio Meter will help you with that. Instead try EarTrumpet and Voicemeeter for this.

[@J-S_93]

Very excited for this; audio separation can sometimes become a tedious chor, depending on what you want to accomplish - anyone know if StreamLabs OBS can incorporate this too, as a separate additional add-on that doesn't mess with or reset your current audio management from within StreamLabs itself?

[@ArgadashHD]

Interesting. I am probably not going to use it as I like having everything I hear appear on stream aswell, but that plug in seems very powerfull when combined with ndi for audio transition.

[@ApexLodestar]

Until they iron out the bugs, I'll stick with Voice Meter for now. I'm more familiar with it anyway. But I'm definitely stoked for this plug-in. Tons of fun potential.

[@Oddknott_Plus]

hey epox is there a plugin where it can separate audio tracks when recording, like how voicemeter can act as a different source(?) where you can separate music from game audio

[@lmclrain]

Thanks for the video.

[@UnwantedSelf]

Is there a way to make dummy audio devices? I need more but, I've use all my monitors, plus steam stream, plus my jacks

[@xXStringZXx]

Haven't done much Streaming as of lately but i've been thinking of going for a Physical Mixer Setup and EarTrumpet (Plus a few Additional VAC Cables) to move away from Voicemeeter as i hate when my mic craps the hell out at random.

[@ProIific]

Confused. Can I monitor audio through my desktop audio device WITHOUT it being recaptured in a loop that goes back into my stream? If so that would be great for playing music to steam at two different levels for yourself and for stream or maybe doing something similar for voice chat.

[@supermavgaming5858]

it would be great if you could do a 2-PC setup and just wondering if this will up your cpu usage probably not but just wondering Thanks

[@zhaf]

Ok audio and streaming noob here. I have the elgato wave. Does the wave software do the same thing as this plugin? Does this plugin have any features the wave software don’t? My stream setup is super basic. I just game and stream from the same pc and capture consoles with a capture card to the same pc. I have only the elgato mic and a webcam connected as the only audio video source plugged into my pc.

[@djSpinege]

I'll still use voice meeter since i can map it to my MIDI controller. OBD still needs MIDI support...

[@MadJix]

does obs have a repository type thing like reaper does? it'd be nice to just get everything and browse..

[@eramsorgr]

Voicemeeter will always be a must if you are planning to emulate a mix controller inside your computer, outside or inside OBS it will always remain a must-have for advanced audio management.

[@Averagehazmat]

Nah homie voicemeeter sux tbh.

[@meh4757]

Do u think this would work for a two pc setup? im currently useing voicemeeter to be able to feed both the capture card and my pc with sound

[@lolokenneth]

I use voicemeeter for its VBAN feature..but why not use both?

[@og.gamer9160]

I know you barely have time now days but can we get a dedicated video in full. I would love to see how can the new plug can substitute the go xrl. Some of us can't afford A gogo gadget lol

[@watchpwmg]

are you able to add a filter to the master output from the Audio Monitor?
