The BEST Voicemeeter SETUP GUIDE on YouTube!

[00:00] voicemeeter is widely known as one of

[00:01] the best pc apps to use but it's so

[00:04] confusing that people don't even bother

[00:06] using it today i'm gonna make this app

[00:08] seem so easy you won't even break a

[00:10] sweat after installing voicemeeter you

[00:12] will have three versions of the app

[00:14] installed voicemeeter which is the base

[00:16] version of the app with minimal tools

[00:17] voicemeeter banana which is the most

[00:19] popular version of the app and

[00:21] voicemeeter potato which is the

[00:22] granddaddy of all three and bigger than

[00:24] the rest

[00:26] that's what she said we will be using

[00:27] voice meter banana in this video but

[00:30] don't worry if you want to use a

[00:31] different version of the app it works

[00:33] the same way for all three just with

[00:35] more or less virtual sources we will

[00:38] also use the virtual audio cables which

[00:40] is available for free on voicemeeter's

[00:42] website it's very important that you

[00:44] listen to what i'm about to say the

[00:46] first thing we're going to do is set our

[00:48] default playback device on our computer

[00:50] but before you do it watch me do it

[00:52] because you will lose audio from this

[00:54] video when you change the source so you

[00:56] need to know what you're doing prior to

[00:58] switching the source over first let's

[01:00] set up our output device on the top

[01:02] right of the app is the a1 source this

[01:04] is where we can select our output device

[01:07] i will select my headphones with the wdm

[01:09] source next i want to make sure that

[01:10] virtual inputs here have the a1 source

[01:13] toggled on now let's change our playback

[01:15] devices right click the speaker icon on

[01:18] your desktop select the sound settings

[01:21] and then select the sound control panel

[01:23] in the playback tab we will right click

[01:25] the voicemeeter input source and make

[01:27] this our default device after that we

[01:29] will right-click the voicemeeter aux

[01:31] input source and make this our default

[01:33] communications device once we've done

[01:36] this our computer audio will be playing

[01:38] on the voicemeeter input source and our

[01:40] communication audio will be playing on

[01:42] the voicemeeter aux input source this

[01:44] means you will need to set the audio

[01:46] settings in apps like discord to default

[01:48] at least that's the easiest way to do it

[01:50] the reason for this is we're separating

[01:52] our computer audio from our

[01:54] communication audio so that means apps

[01:55] like discord or communication apps will

[01:57] play through the voicemeeter aux input

[01:59] and that means other apps like video

[02:01] games will play through the voicemeeter

[02:03] input to make things easier let's change

[02:05] the labels of the inputs to desktop and

[02:07] communications by right-clicking the

[02:09] titles to make sure we know what they

[02:11] are next we can set up our microphone

[02:13] left click on the first hardware input

[02:15] and select your microphone source you'll

[02:16] want to disable the a1 button on this

[02:19] input so you aren't listening to

[02:21] yourself on the a1 source that we

[02:23] selected earlier for the microphone

[02:25] output you have two options you can

[02:27] select b1 or b2 b1 is the voicemeter

[02:31] output and b2 is the voicemeter aux

[02:34] output i like to use b2 so that's what i

[02:36] will select in the sound control panel i

[02:38] will go to the recording tab locate the

[02:41] voicemeeter aux output source and set

[02:43] this to the default device if you're

[02:46] using the b1 source instead be sure to

[02:49] select the voicemeeter output instead of

[02:51] the voicemeeter aux output now that

[02:53] we've set the default recording device

[02:55] on our computer we can go into every

[02:57] single one of our apps audio settings

[02:59] and set the input device to default this

[03:02] will default to using the correct

[03:04] voicemeter source that we set up this

[03:06] also means that all the sources on

[03:08] voicemeeter with b2 toggled will also

[03:10] play through your microphone so make

[03:12] sure you only select b2 on inputs you

[03:15] want playing from your mic you can

[03:16] adjust the mix of the output sources

[03:18] from the master section in the bottom

[03:20] right now we can take it even a step

[03:22] further and separate our music audio on

[03:25] voicemeeter as well to do this we'll

[03:26] need to install ear trumpet and the

[03:28] virtual audio cables that i mentioned

[03:30] earlier on the second hardware input of

[03:32] voice meter let's select the virtual

[03:34] audio cable let's then open ear trumpet

[03:36] from our hidden apps find our music app

[03:38] right click click the arrows and then

[03:41] select the virtual audio cable if you

[03:42] don't see your music app on ear trumpet

[03:44] that's because you need to be playing

[03:46] audio from the app in order for ear

[03:48] trumpet to recognize it steelseries made

[03:50] an app like voicemeeter that's way

[03:51] easier to set up check it out here you

[03:54] won't regret it thank you so much for

[03:55] watching and i'll catch you in the next

[03:57] one peace
