Voicemeeter Banana Tutorial :: Make You Microphone Sound A Crap Ton Better

I recently discovered Voicemeeter Banana and what it can do for your microphone. In this video I walk through how I have Voicemeeter setup with my Blue Yeti to make it sound a lot better by using the built in compression and EQ. Also, because it's all done live there's not much left to do in post-production in Audacity after it's recorded.
I forgot to mention in the video that you'll want to play around with the EQ a lot. I'm still playing around with mine, listening to my videos with different speakers and headphones. I like a lot of bass, but mine may be a bit too much.

If you increase the gate meter it changes how sensitive it is to smaller noises, so you can eliminate the background hissing.

The vitural inputs is kinda where your computer audio should be. And the cable is typically used with software music so it can be adjusted separately. At least that is how I am using it

[@TalkBadminton]

cable a and b are virtual cables which youve downloaded and the VM vaio and aux are addition free ones, if you go into sound settings then you can split application sounds, ie/ system, spotify and chrome sound and control their sounds independantyl. so output music to music while stremaing and not recording nor your guest hearing.

How do I configure VoiceMeeter Banana to have a Cable input from the computer sounds like you have for your Hardware Input 2?

[@Skullkid16945]

I know this is an old comment, but the reason he had VA-Audio Virtual Cable on Input 2 is due to installing the VA-Cable which is also made by vb-audio. Now it isn't necessary to use to hear your windows sound however. Instead, you can just use the Voicemeeter Aux Input as system default playback device, and for default recording device, check which one of the Voicemeeter Outputs is registering sound when you speak into your mic and set it to that one. For me, it was Voicemeeter Output. In Voicemeeter, you would use your mic in Hardware Input 1, leave the others empty unless needed. VA-Cable is good here if you want to send audio from program that support selecting output device. Example: Sending audio from Ableton Live to VA-Cable and then receiving it in Voicemeeter so you can pipe it through your mic output and play sound through voice chat in games. Good for playing piano, guitar, etc or just using soundboards in voice chats. Back to Voicemeeter, Virtual Inputs is where you would control your system sound. If you used Voicemeeter Aux Input, then you control system sound from the Voicemeeter AUX section. Change it to output sound to A1, and put A1 as your speakers or headset. You should be able to hear everything your system would make, as well as control the audio of each program below it with a slider, or mute it by clicking the M button beside its slider. Your mic should still be outputting on B1 only, unless you want to hear yourself, then you could output it to A1 as well, thus playing captured audio to your headset as well, allowing to hear yourself. However, what you will hear is raw sound without the EQ. To be able to hear the output of B1, go back into Windows's sound settings, then recording and find the Voicemeeter Output you are using. Go to its properties and then the listen tab. Check "Listen to this device" and click apply and all audio it receives will now play through windows audio.

hey say i use a program like dxtory or even shadow play will it mix all the audio files together if the output is voicemeeter aux whatever. i ask this because i do let's plays on youtube and having it separate is huge when editing a 5 hour long recording session.

[@kyleblaneplays]

All you'll basically have to do is send your microphone (by itself) to one of the Voicemeeter outputs and set that output as the microphone in dxtory. You might have to play around with it a bit.

[@OmegaAC]

Hi, Nice wallpaper, how i get it?

[@123123c123]

I watched this video because I was looking for the compression/gate settings on Banana, but I got to say, if you're looking for how to set up Voicemeeter Banana this is not the ideal video for you to watch, the set-up can be a bit messy and highly dependent on what you are trying to achieve so you do probably want to understand the way each bit of the software works before going straight in. A couple of quick tips if you do want to give it a try though: 1) Set your Windows system sounds on Playback Devices to VoiceMeeter Input. This will make all normal browser, gameplay and OS sounds play into Virtual Input 1. 2) On your hardware outs, set your normal sound hardware (Headphones or Speakers) to A1. 3) Route your Voicemeeter VAIO under Virtual Inputs to A1 by simply selecting A1 and disabling the rest. Your sound should now work as normal. 4) If you are trying to set up a microphone, select it under Hardware Input 1 (HI1). 6) To hear what your microphone is picking up, route your mic from HI1 to A1, that will send the sound into your Speakers/Headphones (S/H). 7) To send the sound from your microphone to another piece of software, route HI1 to B1. 8) B1 is a Recording Device on Windows named VoiceMeeter Output, whilst B2 is Voicemeeter Aux Output. (Not to be confused with the inputs under playback devices which you used in step 1 for Virtual Input 1 and 2). 9) Use VoiceMeeter Output as your INPUT device in Audacity, OBS etc... If streaming, for example, you can set your microphone (HI1) to send to B1, and then set your Virtual Input 1 (system sounds) to output to both A1 (S/H) and B1. In OBS, B1 (VoiceMeeter Output) would then contain your game/system sounds AND microphone sounds together, whilst you would only hear system sounds and not yourself.

[@kyleblaneplays]

If someone comes here wanting to learn how to setup Voicemeeter they’ve completely misunderstood the title of the video. lol

[@123123c123]

Kyle Blane Plays absolutely, I don't disagree at all, I just looked at the comments as I was looking to see if anyone had what I was looking for and I saw a few people who had no familiarity with the software and couldn't make it work, thus assumed that was happening. Maybe I implied that in the way I opened the comment but wasn't really a shot at you or the video :D

[@VoxrPret]

i want to record audio so i started this software and setup my mic and everthing and i started recording by the tape recorder there but i havent feel any kinda diffrence in my voice i changed setting still no diffrence i went to audacity but still 😑😑😑

[@kyleblaneplays]

I’ve never messed with the tape recorder, so I can’t offer any help there. The trick is to make sure the virtual output you’re using the effects on in Voicemeeter matches the input in Audacity, or whatever recording software you use.

[@Morax]

Thanks for the video, was awesome! Have you found any noticeable difference in quality doing live processing through Banana vs doing all processing later in Audacity?

[@kyleblaneplays]

While I don’t use this live processing any more (I’ve got an XLR mic going into physical processors), I still say yes, especially for the compressor. I’ve been scolded by some for saying this. I’ve been told the compressor in Voicemeeter isn’t a “real” compressor and that it’s just an extra gain knob. Which is funny because I work with professional audio equipment at my day job and lots of mixers have a single knob compressor just like that. Also, they have no reason to believe this outside of a hunch. Anyways, others have said you can get the same results with Audacity compression, but I was never able to do that. Hope that helps

[@Morax]

Interesting thanks. I'll have to do some of my own testing. If you still have the old mic, I'd LOVE to hear the side-by-side difference between a USB/digital mic and an XLR going through physical processors! New video idea? :)

[@kyleblaneplays]

That might be a possibility. I gave the Yeti to my brother so I'm sure I could borrow it back for a bit. In the mean time there are some comparisons already, though they're a bit wordier than mine would be. lol :D Also, I think they may just be comparing all of them as USB mics, not the XLR.

Hello Kyle, having an issue. When setting my hardware output to my headset. I can hear myself, how do I stop this?

[@kyleblaneplays]

On the left group of faders (the inputs) you probably have the one that controls your mic being sent to the output assigned to the headset. If that's not the case, another output is also sending audio to your headset. Turn the different A1, A2, etc... on/off to confirm which one is going where.

that compression adds a ton of background hum from your pc fans or something nearby

[@theroyalaustralian]

I followed to the point of turn on the compression and popping in my Snowball Microphone, however, if I proceed any further, it'll cause an audio rendering crash.

[@MrLuigge]

hey, do you know an way that I can choose for example the virtual audio cable to pick only audio from google chrome or another program? because usually it gets the audio from the whole system

[@kyleblaneplays]

That depends on each piece of software. It will (I think) always grab the system audio, but if the software has options to choose an audio output device to use, then yes it can be split off from the rest.

[@swirle13]

To be fair, your mic is gonna pick up more audio with the compression up to 2 because you're on a condenser microphone instead of a dynamic mic. Also, MME is a higher latency input, it's recommended to use WDM or KS

How can I make it pick up my mic easier, because right now I basically have to have my mouth touching the microphone for it o pick up my voice

[@Macenator]

As far as recording gaming with action and having say discord recorded at the same time, do you know what settings one should use?

[@kyleblaneplays]

It's not something I've done yet, but how I would theoretically do it is keep Action setup the way it normally is. Recording PC audio and my Mic on separate tracks. Then I would send Discord's audio out to one of the virtual inputs of VoiceMeeter. Then send that to both my headphones and a virtual aux out which is then recorded in Audacity. You'll end up with one extra audio file (from Audacity) to sync up with the video. The other option (which results in high quality audio and is technically easier) is to NOT record Discord audio and have your friends send you their mic audio. This obviously only works well if they can record what you need, but you have their direct audio recording, not their voice chat audio.

[@Macenator]

Ill give it a shot! Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately i can only try option 1 as the people i play with dont record. That would be way easier lol

[@kyleblaneplays]

I had a feeling that might be the case. Worst case scenario (if you can't get it working recording separately to Audacity) you can turn the game audio down a lot and capture Discord with Action.

[@jwoodCAD]

Excellent tips, thanks! If you have a program that can manually set the audio out (such as Discord and Teamspeak), you can use virtual inputs to bring in these separately so you could, for example, record them to different channels than other (program) audio. Bringing them into Voicemeter means you can apply EQ and such, as well as pipe them into whatever hardware you'd like.

[@kyleblaneplays]

Yup, I actually meant to mention that and totally forgot since it's not something I do often. Thanks for pointing that out!

[@VGDocs]

My EQ just isn't working, I did everything you did but no change is being applied at all. Edit: somewhat nevermind. It does apply but I can only hear it upon playback in Audacity. I do like to monitor my mic in real time though so the fact I can't hear it within VMB is annoying

[@digamondvonn]

so i followed verything u set on the EQ but my problem is I don't hear any difference wether I toggle the EQ on and off. what seems to be the problem?? thanks!

[@kyleblaneplays]

Make sure you’re applying the EQ to whatever virtual channel is being used by the program you’re recording with.

hi kyle, can the EQ make the buzzing / static sound in my microphone go away too? please do reply to me. thanks.

That will only do so much to reduce buzzing and static. I'm assuming you're using a USB mic? My advice is try different USB ports on your computer and different USB cables.

I have a very different setup now, so I can't remember exactly, but I think it was somewhere in the 70-90 range. This depends on a lot of things though. If you have a Yeti (like I had in this recording) It's best for you to play with both that volume slider and the gain on the microphone. I learned a lot by recording tests at various combinations of levels.

is there a way to compress both playback and mic ? i'm currently compressing audio, but when i add the mic on input 2, it's picking up the audio from the playback device (which i have as vb cable out on input 1).

You can compress each of the 3 inputs independently. It sounds like you have a signal routing problem. Too many things going to the same input.

[@killingtime3620]

@@kyleblaneplays I have VB cable out as first hardware input and my headset mic as the second one. In Windows sound settings, VB cable input is default playback and headset mic is default recording. Why does the sound from hardware input 1 show up on input 2 ? Eg. when playing a KZbin video, for instance, the decibel bars are moving on both instead of just input 1.

[@kyleblaneplays]

Hmmm... I'm not sure. Somewhere in Windows it's sending stuff to the wrong place. Maybe it's just the browser needs to close and reopen to grab the proper devices?

[@killingtime3620]

Ok, I was able to get rid of the leak from playback (input 1) into mic (input 2) by increasing the noise gate on the mic. I just don't understand why playback is leaking into the mic. To be sure it's not somehow escaping from my headset ear pads, I reduced the volume to 0 and there is STILL activity on the mic WITHOUT adjusting using the gate. In your video, at around 2:20 where you dinged the PC, I couldn't tell if the dings were being picked up by the mic because you spoke at about the same time, but it would be interesting to do the same thing again on a silent mic and see if there is activity on the mic.

[@TechContraps]

I don't know if I'm just a noob but my computer audio doesn't show up in the second input. And because of this, it's picking up my voice, but it's also picking up my computer audio (aka music being played). I can't seem to get it to not record my computer audio and my voice at the same time. :/

[@kyleblaneplays]

I'll walk through a few steps that should hopefully find the problem. - Right click on your volume icon by the clock and select Playback Devices - Right click on VB-Audio Virtual Cable and make it your default device, then click OK - In VoiceMeeter left click at the top of the second input and select CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable) - Left click at the top of the first input and ensure your microphone is selected there Your voice and computer audio should now be split between those two channels. To ensure your recording software is picking up one and not the other play around with B1 and B2 (the virtual outputs) for those channels. B1 and B2 correlate with the VoiceMeeter Aux Output and VoiceMeeter Output recording devices you'll want to use as the input in your recording software.

having the compresses on is not possible with obs at least for me, it makes it so whenever any sound is picked up it's 10x louder than without it on and I can only fix it by turning it off

I'm now using OBS because I'm on a new, much better computer. OBS ran like hot garbage on my old system but Action was amazing with the lower-end computer. So I say if your system can handle OBS and you don't mind the more detailed and difficult options and interface, stick with OBS. However Action is much lighter weight and has a great user interface.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to set up the eq? For removing white noise from the pc specifically? Or just what each EQ nob does? Theres so many.

[@kyleblaneplays]

Best way to learn the nobs is to mess with them. The main idea is that one nob adjusts the vertical position (how high or low), another adjust how narrow/wide and the third moves it horizontally across the line. For removing white noise you'll want to drop the high end of the EQ down. You won't be able to remove it completely, but that should dampen it a bit.

[@derpay4945]

For some reason, the EQ isnt working for me! I have the Blue snowball so I dont think its my mic.

You're probably not using the EQ on the right channel. You can apply to any (or all) of the 3 outputs on the right, make sure you're using the right one.

Every time I download voicemeeter it says I already have it on my pc and it says in order to download the latest version I must remove, so I clicked on the button that says remove and the program exits. I try to download it again and still says its there and when I try to search it up on my pc I dont see voicemeeter. Can you help?

[@kyleblaneplays]

This has indeed happened to me before. It's because Voicemeeter installs some virtual audio devices which it doesn't remove when you uninstall. (Not sure if this is a technical limitation or poor design) I'm pretty sure this is what I did to fix it. Good luck! forum.vb-audio.com/viewtopic.php?t=381

[@kapam4061]

I'm not really sure if you ever fixed this but even though you've deleted the actual program, Voicemeeter tends to leave a part of itself in your devices. You'll have to go to your "Device Manager" in your control panel. Find the tab that says "Sound, video and game controllers," and then find anything that relates to Voicemeeter and uninstall it.

What does fade gain do? You have It set to a number

[@kyleblaneplays]

Gain is like how much water the city sends to your house. While the volume is how much your opening up the faucet. Too much gain will blow your pipes. You want the gain just high enough, but no higher.

i dont have the "speakers - vb audio cable" even though i downloaded the vb audio cable thing, please help.

[@kyleblaneplays]

I’m not really sure what to try other than installing everything again.

[@helmutcatalan2170]

its probably the compresor try another settings for it

[@unschlagbar1515]

thank you, but how to use microphonr and stereo mix in the same time?

[@kyleblaneplays]

I'm not sure I completely understand your problem, but I'll make this suggestion. You have to make sure that your Windows audio devices for input and output are both set properly. Playback (output) should be VB-Audio Virtual Cable, Recording should be one of the Voicemeeter Outputs. You then have to play around with sending different inputs to different outputs in VoiceMeeter.

[@kyleblaneplays]

The virtual audio stuff is setup during the installation process of VoiceMeeter. So make sure you completely uninstall and then try installing it again. That has solved similar issues for me in the past.

[@crashunderride]

I cracked up when he switched the audio and it cut him off from the recording. lol

[@kyleblaneplays]

It's an amazing example of learning by doing... and then screwing up.

[@marmey1028]

Thanks for the tutorial! Could you but your EQ Preset in the description?

[@kyleblaneplays]

Even if I could, you need to do that for your own voice. I have an unlisted video which is a massive walkthrough of audio advice. Part of it discusses EQing your voice in more detail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raevg32hrtJ9fNU

does mono make your voice louder, i dont get it

[@someunownaccount1006]

Jdado04 There are certain types of sound types in audio. Stereo is the default to where audio is separated in to two tracks;left and right. While Mono, hence the name, takes the two left and right tracks and combines them into one singular track. For a better experience use stereo, although there may be a quality decrease when using mono preset, it could make you louder if that’s what your aiming for. Sticking with stereo is recommended.

When I'm talking to my friends on discord they're hearing themselves, like an echo, how am I supposed to fix that?

[@kyleblaneplays]

The output from Voicemeeter that is being sent to Discord has the Discord audio in it (most like the PC audio). Figure out which output is being sent to Discord and turn that input off. Hopefully that all makes sense, it's hard to describe in general terms.

[@MrCano-fl2ng]

How yo get to use 'cable output' after downloading it?

[@kyleblaneplays]

That should be created during installation. You may have to restart before it appears. If you still don't see it, uninstall and reinstall.

[@naratius4101]

I cant hear anything anymore my desktop sounds are muted why ?

[@kyleblaneplays]

Somewhere in the flow of audio signals there’s a setting that’s not right. Check your Windows audio settings then make sure VoiceMeeter is sending signal to the proper places.

[@ianfindly3257]

I have this VoiceMeter Bannana on MY desktop computer and HERE is a problem that it's been giving ME - much too often I have OPENED the thing but it does NOT ACTIVATE. So please tell me, if you would, WHAT do you DO when it does NOT ACTIVATE AUTOMATICALLY upon being OPENED?

[@kyleblaneplays]

I'm not sure what you mean by "activate". Does it not connect into your audio devices?

[@ianfindly3257]

I mean USUALLY as soon as I OPEN it it it's AUTOMATICALLY and IMMEDIATELY WORKING, .. . but other times it does NOT. And I don't know HOW to get it working when it pulls THAT.

[@kyleblaneplays]

I've never experienced that. Best I can suggest is rick click on the Voicemeeter icon in the system tray and select Shut Down Voicemeeter. Also, may I ask about your odd all caps inflections in your writing? As the receiver of the message, it's hard to figure out what you're trying to emphasize with each of them. lol

[@ianfindly3257]

Thank you, I'll try that. Oh, the capitalizing was just to STRESS certain words, .. . OOps! . . did it AGAIN there! . . OOps!!

[@kyleblaneplays]

Well if I may offer some advice from one random person on the internet to another. It made it really difficult to read. By emphasizing more words you emphasize less words. When you emphasize words like MY and ME it can come across as entitled. It makes sense if there's a reason to emphasize your personal experience over the experience being presented by the other party, but that wasn't the case here. No one had previously claimed that this wasn't happening to them. Some of the words you chose to emphasize make reading it odd. Try reading it out loud to yourself. Adding emphasis to these words in particular really stops the flow of the statements: HERE, OPENED, WHAT, DO I'm guessing you have experiences with people on the internet not properly reading what you've written so you feel the need to do this, which is understandable. Fortunately, I'm not one of those people. lol Good luck

[@parasharvinni9795]

Can you send me best setting of voice meter for singing

[@kyleblaneplays]

Your voice, your system, and your environment will determine that. There’s no way I could really accomplish that. Sorry bud.
