[0:00] hey what's up YouTube this is Koko and
[0:03] I'm making a tutorial today I usually
[0:07] don't do these but I'm making a little
[0:08] tutorial for streamers and basically the
[0:12] tutorial is going to be on how to
[0:15] separate the music that you play in your
[0:17] stream from the rest of your stream
[0:20] audio so you know why would you want to
[0:24] do this well let's say you're streaming
[0:26] and you got like some copyright music
[0:28] going obviously you're not supposed to
[0:31] be doing that but I mean you know it is
[0:33] if you've got copyright music and you
[0:35] want to make let's say stream highlight
[0:37] video you're not gonna want that
[0:39] copyright music in your stream highlight
[0:42] video cuz then you risk you know
[0:43] something like a copyright strike so
[0:45] you're gonna want you're gonna want to
[0:47] remove the music for that or let's say
[0:50] you're streaming and you know your
[0:53] audience doesn't want to hear music they
[0:55] don't maybe they don't like your taste
[0:56] in music but you really want to listen
[0:59] to what you want to listen to you can do
[1:01] that with what I'm about to show you or
[1:03] the opposite if your if your audience
[1:06] wants music and you don't want music
[1:08] same thing you can do that as well so
[1:10] how do you how do you accomplish this
[1:13] well basically with these with these you
[1:16] can see these two pieces of software
[1:18] that I have right here this is audio
[1:21] router and this is Boyce meter banana
[1:25] now let me just full disclosure I am NOT
[1:28] a pro at using either of these this
[1:31] one's pretty simple audio router voice
[1:33] muted banana is you can do quite a bit
[1:35] with this program and most of the these
[1:38] features the functionality I'm
[1:40] completely ignorant of I'll be honest
[1:42] but I do know enough to to do what I'm
[1:45] about to show you okay
[1:46] so how do you get these programs
[1:48] basically oh here we go
[1:52] so here's Audio router pretty simple
[1:55] just just Google Audio router I'll put
[1:57] the links in the description there
[2:00] should be a github link you just go here
[2:03] there's a 64 bit exe download link and a
[2:05] 32 bit exe download link yeah anyway get
[2:10] the one that you need it's their voice
[2:13] meter
[2:13] banana here we go so yeah you can see
[2:17] all these pictures this program does
[2:20] like a million-in-one things okay I
[2:23] don't use it for any of that there's
[2:25] tons of stuff on YouTube if you really
[2:27] want to learn the ins and outs of this
[2:28] thing you can figure it out you know I
[2:31] don't know it looks a little complicated
[2:33] but there's an info out there if you
[2:35] look so anyway just wait where was the
[2:38] air it is so you have to install it
[2:40] there's a little bit they have it they
[2:42] have a compressed version of it and then
[2:45] they have just the straight exe just
[2:47] download exe install it once you've
[2:50] installed that it's probably going to
[2:51] tell you you need to restart your
[2:52] computer so do that and then when you
[2:54] come back you know you'll have both of
[2:57] these things here and the first thing
[3:01] that you're going to want to do is
[3:02] you're gonna want to change your default
[3:04] audio playback device so how do you do
[3:07] that I was showing it to you right here
[3:10] just right click this little this little
[3:13] sound icon up here in the corner
[3:15] go to playback devices obviously I have
[3:20] my taskbar up at the top yours windows
[3:22] by default has at the bottom but you
[3:24] know how to find it come on alright so
[3:26] anyway you just go there go to your
[3:28] playback devices and what you're gonna
[3:31] see is you're gonna see two new devices
[3:33] that voice meter installed one is called
[3:36] input right just straight up input and
[3:39] then one called aux input just explained
[3:42] to you right now what we're trying to
[3:44] set up so what you're trying to do is
[3:46] you're trying to have all of your stream
[3:47] audio - the music be directed to this
[3:51] voice meter input device and then what
[3:55] you want to do is you want to have your
[3:56] music going to this aux input that's
[3:59] basically what we're gonna be setting up
[4:01] okay so first thing you need to do is
[4:03] you need to set this as your default
[4:05] playback device just click on it again
[4:07] input not the aux input click on it hit
[4:11] set default hit apply then hit OK
[4:13] obviously I've already done that so I
[4:15] don't need to do that now now just be
[4:20] forewarned once you do this you will not
[4:22] be able to hear any audio on your
[4:24] computer right because you've changed
[4:26] the playback device
[4:27] so you too in order to hear this voice
[4:31] meter input in whatever you're using to
[4:34] listen to your computer's audio right
[4:36] I'm using earbuds right now that are
[4:38] plugged into my audio interface here on
[4:40] the desk in order to listen to it on
[4:43] that or in speakers or whatever you got
[4:45] you have to route that to or you have to
[4:48] send that to your your listening device
[4:51] in voice meter banana so as you can see
[4:55] in this in the program here when you
[4:57] open up voice meter banana you're gonna
[4:59] see here two virtual inputs right
[5:02] there's virtual inputs right here
[5:03] there's one right here it's this whole
[5:06] thing and then there's another one right
[5:09] here right next to it so as you can
[5:11] probably tell this one that says voice
[5:13] meter VA IO corresponds to this device
[5:17] here the one that you made the default
[5:19] playback device this one right here
[5:22] voice meter ox corresponds to the aux
[5:24] input which is where we're going to be
[5:25] sending the music you know that we're
[5:28] trying to isolate from the rest of our
[5:30] stream so in order to you know hear both
[5:36] of these things right your desktop audio
[5:38] and your music you're gonna need to
[5:40] route both of these to your headphones
[5:42] or speakers whatever so the way you do
[5:45] that is up in the up in this side the
[5:48] right side of voice meter banana you'll
[5:50] see there's hardware outputs you'll see
[5:52] this they give you a choice of 3 a 1 a 2
[5:55] a 3 all I do is I go to a 1 click that
[5:59] and I select my audio interface now
[6:03] you'll see there's there's multiple
[6:05] selections for your figure there
[6:07] probably will be multiple selections for
[6:09] your device so I have one here alright
[6:12] says WDM there's another one here KS
[6:15] there's one right here Mme and then I
[6:18] believe this one is also going to my
[6:21] audio interface I don't really know what
[6:24] the difference I'll be honest I don't
[6:25] know what the difference is between
[6:26] these different things I believe they're
[6:28] like different drivers like there's WDM
[6:31] there's KS there's Mme there's ASIO I
[6:34] don't know what the difference is I do
[6:36] think they differ in terms of latency
[6:37] and I've heard that WDM
[6:39] pretty good in terms of being low
[6:41] latency and a lot of the tutorials I've
[6:43] seen people are using WDM so I just use
[6:46] it it works so yeah try that if you have
[6:50] issues with that you can try a different
[6:51] driver like enemy or something but
[6:54] anyway so that's all I do I select the
[6:57] device that I'm listening through right
[6:59] which was probably your original default
[7:02] playback device right I put that in a 1
[7:05] then in order to send both of these
[7:09] virtual inputs to a 1 you just click a 1
[7:13] right so I think by default it's like a1
[7:16] and b1 for for everything you don't
[7:19] really need the b1 so I just make sure
[7:21] that a1 is clicked for both like that so
[7:24] both of these virtual inputs will now be
[7:27] sent to whatever device you're listening
[7:30] to so now you'll be able to hear you
[7:33] know whatever audio is playing on your
[7:35] computer ok so we've got now at this
[7:38] point you've got most of this you know
[7:41] you've got most of it working the way it
[7:43] should
[7:43] except for you still have not sent your
[7:46] music to the aux input so how do you do
[7:50] that use audio router right this is the
[7:53] the final key the final piece to the
[7:56] puzzle rather so when you open it you'll
[7:59] see this which is this is a pretty this
[8:02] is pretty nice view there's a couple
[8:03] different views but you can you can see
[8:06] this shows all of the devices the audio
[8:09] devices on your computer and it has like
[8:12] volume meters so you can do like a
[8:13] little bit of mixing here but I prefer
[8:16] this view if you go to file switch view
[8:19] you can go back and forth if you switch
[8:21] view you can see a list of applications
[8:26] that are playing audio right so as you
[8:31] can see on the on the right in this
[8:32] window it says routed to so it shows you
[8:35] where each of these programs is
[8:37] directing its audio to so right now
[8:39] they're all blank alright as you can see
[8:41] there's nothing here that just means
[8:42] that all these programs are sending to
[8:44] the default playback device so if you
[8:47] want to change one of them right for me
[8:49] when I play music I'm usually playing it
[8:51] it made like a YouTube playlist
[8:53] on Chrome so for this tutorial I'm gonna
[8:56] be directing the audio from Chrome to
[8:59] divert the voice meter aux input if
[9:02] you're using Spotify or you're playing
[9:05] VLC like a playlist in VLC you'd want to
[9:07] direct the audio from that program to
[9:10] the aux input okay so to read to reroute
[9:13] the audio you just double-click on the
[9:16] application that you are gonna use to
[9:19] play music okay
[9:21] double-click change it from default
[9:22] audio device to voice meter aux input it
[9:26] ok now you'll see it will show that it's
[9:29] now routing the audio from that program
[9:31] to the aux input ok and yeah at this
[9:35] point we're good now one thing to
[9:37] mention is when you make changes to the
[9:40] audio routing in an audio router voice
[9:43] meter banana doesn't automatically see
[9:45] that change that you made right it's not
[9:48] detecting like you know any changes to
[9:50] the audio routing so in order for voice
[9:53] meter to see it you have to hit menu and
[9:56] restart audio engine right at this point
[9:59] now voice meter we'll see what you did
[10:01] and now all the audio from Chrome will
[10:05] show up here in the voice meter ox input
[10:09] everything else game sounds system
[10:11] sounds everything is gonna go through
[10:13] voice meter Vai oh okay sorry there was
[10:17] one thing I almost forgot to mention so
[10:20] as long as voice meter input is selected
[10:23] as your default audio playback device
[10:26] every time you restart your computer
[10:28] you're gonna need to have voice meter
[10:30] banana open in order to hear this in you
[10:35] know your headphones so one thing I
[10:37] would recommend is when you hit menu
[10:40] click this option right here system tray
[10:42] run at startup this makes it so that
[10:44] voice meter banana always starts up when
[10:46] you start up windows right which is what
[10:48] you want so that you can keep this as
[10:52] your default playback device at all
[10:53] times right unless you really want to
[10:55] like go back and forth
[10:56] switching default devices you know when
[10:59] you're streaming when you're not
[11:00] streaming you can do that too but it's
[11:01] easier just to keep this as a default
[11:04] make sure that voice muted banana is
[11:06] that always running in the background
[11:07] right it's a little bit easier so anyway
[11:10] that's just a little recommendation I
[11:12] think we're at this point were pretty
[11:13] much done so how do you set this up in
[11:15] OBS this is the final piece of the
[11:18] puzzle here all right a little bit of
[11:21] what is this stream-ception smbabybaby
[11:40] to virtual input second one is the aux
[11:43] input okay pretty pretty simple to set
[11:45] this up just go to settings audio you
[11:48] see right here desktop audio device
[11:50] desktop audio device to just set those
[11:52] to the appropriate inputs yeah and so
[11:57] yeah at this point so yet we're good
[12:00] here so I'm gonna go ahead and minimize
[12:02] these things and it with and now I'm
[12:08] going to we'll do a little test okay
[12:11] just to show you that it works so here I
[12:14] have the the YouTube audio library
[12:16] showing up in Chrome in Chrome so this
[12:21] is like this is your music basically
[12:23] this would be like music out play on
[12:24] stream I mean not really this but you
[12:27] know what I mean it's just think of it
[12:29] as it's like an example okay and then
[12:32] for system sounds okay you obviously be
[12:35] like game sounds or something like that
[12:37] but just for the sake of simplicity I'm
[12:39] gonna open up a song in VLC so both of
[12:42] these are you know YouTube's audio
[12:43] library songs so no copyright strike
[12:46] YouTube okay I'm playing I'm playing
[12:48] fairly here alright so when I play each
[12:52] of these what you is actually I'm gonna
[12:55] show you voice to meet her first okay so
[12:58] if I play this VLC
[13:02] okay so now what you can see I don't
[13:05] know if that's loud
[13:08] yeah it's loud enough you can hear that
[13:11] so you'll see it's showing up here right
[13:14] in the voice meter input okay
[13:18] I'm gonna pause that and I'm gonna go
[13:21] here in chrome right that the
[13:23] application that whose audio is rerouted
[13:26] to the Ox input I start playing
[13:28] something in here it's a little bit hope
[13:32] that's not too loud anyway you get the
[13:34] point it's showing up here in the aux
[13:36] input okay so their routing correctly as
[13:39] you can see and if you if you look in
[13:41] OBS right a little bit more video
[13:43] ception
[13:44] if I start playing in VLC yeah you can
[13:50] see it's showing up here in the desktop
[13:52] audio right and then you can probably
[13:54] guess if I play in Chrome it's gonna
[13:56] show up in here alright desktop audio -
[14:01] exactly
[14:02] see so everything is being routed
[14:04] properly okay calm down all right all
[14:07] right
[14:08] so yeah everything's being routed
[14:10] properly so with this set up let's say
[14:13] you want to do a stream highlight
[14:14] without any of your music included right
[14:17] in OBS you just need to record your
[14:20] desktop audio and your desktop audio -
[14:23] on different audio tracks right and then
[14:26] when you're within your editing software
[14:28] you can just get rid of the track that
[14:29] has the music keep the track that has
[14:32] your stream audio which would be this
[14:34] one right desktop audio desktop audio -
[14:36] has the music and again if you wanted to
[14:40] mute let's say the the audio for the
[14:44] stream the music for the stream right so
[14:47] only you can hear it all you have to do
[14:49] is just mute like this so I'll play I'll
[14:53] play Chrome right now I'll play some
[14:55] music in Chrome okay now if I hit this
[14:59] okay it should now be muted in the video
[15:03] I can still hear it I hear music blaring
[15:06] in my earbuds right now but it should be
[15:09] silent for you right if I unmute it now
[15:12] you can hear it again now let's say I
[15:15] want to do the opposite I want to mute
[15:16] it for me I'm sick of hearing something
[15:18] I want to try out a you know pub G or
[15:20] something I want to hear what's going on
[15:22] me but the stream wants to listen to the
[15:24] music you can go into voice meter banana
[15:28] and all I have to do is mute this aux
[15:32] input at the very bottom there's this
[15:35] mute button right now I cannot hear any
[15:38] music now if you look in OBS I did not
[15:42] mute it in OBS so the video you guys who
[15:45] are watching this right now should be
[15:46] able to hear this music I can't hear
[15:48] anything it's totally silent so yeah
[15:53] it's pretty cool and also another thing
[15:55] if you wanted if you felt like the music
[15:57] was too loud for you but your stream is
[15:59] not complaining they think the volume is
[16:01] fine you can change what you hear with
[16:04] this knob right here this does not
[16:06] affect the levels that your streamer
[16:08] hear right if you look in OBS if I lower
[16:12] this all the way alright basically this
[16:15] is pretty much muting it for me I can't
[16:16] hear anything
[16:17] but you can still see the levels in OBS
[16:20] are unchanged so you should be able to
[16:22] hear it fine no problem you should not
[16:24] hear any change right and vice-versa if
[16:26] it's too quiet for you and you just want
[16:29] to turn it up on your end you could just
[16:31] increase it like that yeah
[16:34] alright so that's pretty much it I mean
[16:38] let me pause this okay so yeah anyway
[16:41] that is it hopefully this tutorial made
[16:44] sense I'm sorry this is totally
[16:46] unprepared I'm just making this video
[16:48] very quickly so so anyway yeah if you
[16:52] have any questions or again I'm a noob
[16:55] if you have Corrections if I did
[16:56] something wrong here you know feel free
[16:58] to let me know in the comments below if
[17:01] I miss something anything like that I'll
[17:03] be monitoring the comments section if
[17:05] you liked the video go ahead feel free
[17:08] to give it a like hopefully this helped
[17:10] you out I just learned how to do this a
[17:12] couple days ago and yeah I think it's
[17:15] it's pretty cool it's really easy to
[17:17] hopefully the video isn't too long let's
[17:20] see oh my god this is a long long video
[17:23] okay I'm sorry I'm sorry I tried to
[17:25] explain as quickly as I could but anyway
[17:28] that's the video hopefully this helped
[17:30] you see ya
