They all work on both PC and Mac.Īlthough if you are on Mac I highly recommend Loopback by Rogue Amoeba. VB-Audio has a few programs I’ll list here. You can combine your mic and whatever you use to play jingles and set it as your input to skype or zoom. You can also send a combination of sources to another application.Įxample: You want your guest to hear your intro/outro/fx via zoom.

This will allow you to record each source to a separate track. Then you set that virtual device as your input to your DAW. You route all your sources (mic, interface, skype, youtube etc.) into the virtual device. What virtual audio cable does is create a virtual device. So if your mic or interface is connected, you can only record from that device. Your DAW only recognizes one interface at a time. This allows you to send audio from one source to another. I can't add very much gain in VMB so the filters in OBS helps out there.Įdit: I feel extra stupid because I picked the right recording devices in both Audacity and Audition, because there I only got to pick between what counts as microphones/inputs and not the virtual input-outputs, as it were.VB-Audio makes free software that function as a virtual audio device and mixer.

I'm rethinking my setup too, and will probably pipe all three of my sources (mic, VoIP, desktop) as three separate devices as I get more freedom adjusting them for the stream/recording specifically, wouldn't have thought about that unless I had bumped into this issue. I didn't realize I should have used a microphone channel for my main mix. Thanks a bunch vburel, I would be pulling my hair out for a long time without you pointing it out :Pįor anyone who wonders, the reason why I somehow recorded a raw desktop feed is because that's exactly what I picked. Oh, wow, well that's what I get for doing this way too tired! Such a simple error and solution, but I was (as is typical for an adult) thinking it was a much more complicated error! Doh!
