One of the more annoying things about this configuration is getting audio from my gaming system to the streaming PC without going through a lot of cable splitting, mixers, etc. I have a streaming PC that I use for my streaming. Let’s take a quick look at my current configuration using VoiceMeeter Banana: In fact, they can be used together to even FURTHER the capabilities of your audio system, Virtual Cables can be used as input and outputs in VoiceMeeter Banana.

Virtual Cable does a quick down and dirty patch to literally create a virtual cable within Windows, but VoiceMeeter provides much more and should really be the way to go for anyone wanting to do professional sounding mixing or just want to have greater control over what is going on with the audio in their computer. The best thing is that it is provided as donation-ware, meaning there is no up-front costs or limitations to the software, you give money to the author if you decide you find it meets your needs and to help further the software and new projects by the developer.įor those who use Virtual Cable, this software is written by the same author and provides a lot more control and functionality. Beyond that, the software also allows for patching the inputs through VST instrument and effect plugins for even more control over the way your audio sounds.

This should meet just about anyone’s audio needs, especially streamers. VoiceMeeter Banana allows you to take input from up to 3 hardware devices and 2 software applications and mix them together, sending that output to up to 3 hardware devices and 2 software devices while also having recording functionality. There is an alternative- a software based mixer from VB-Audio called VoiceMeeter Banana.
