Meeter 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. This should meet just about anyone’s audio needs, especially streamers. 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. 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. For those who use Virtual Cable, this software is written by the same author and provides a lot more control and functionality. Virtual Cable does a quick down and dirty patch to literally create a virtual cable within Windows, but Voice. Meeter 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. 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 Voice. Meeter Banana. Let’s take a quick look at my current configuration using Voice. Meeter Banana: I have a streaming PC that I use for my streaming. 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. Just game audio is fine, but if I want to add a Microphone? I have to plug a microphone into the streaming PC and use it, which limits the ability to use the same microphone for Discord, in game chat, and any other needs I might have on my gaming PC. With a microphone that has a 3. I can use a splitter, but if my microphone is a USB mic? It gets complicated. I found the software because I figured someone has to have encountered similar limitations to Windows’s limited audio mixing capabilities and sure enough, someone had and they coded up a very good solution. As you can see in my configuration I have an Audio. Box USB device from Pre. Sonus that allows for 2 inputs and sends the output to the PC via USB. I happened to have this from some previous music recording needs, the microphone input could very well be any basic microphone or USB microphone, like a Blue Yeti. This can be seen as Hardware Input 1. My system sounds, including game audio, Discord voice communications, etc are all piped through Virtual Input Voicemeeter VAIO. My outputs then go to Hardware out A1 (my speakers), A2 (my headphones) and A3 (my Avermedia card, sending the audio with my video card capture through HDMI to my streaming PC). The buttons on the right of the Fader Boost levels can be selected to tell the mixer which output the sound goes to. Right now, my Microphone is set to A3 (my capture card) only, while my system audio is going to both A1 (my speakers) and A3 (my Avermedia card). With a click of a mouse I can change where my audio goes, adjust volume levels, set up noise gates, do basic equalizing, etc…  As you can see, this is very powerful stuff. So the questions is how do you set all of this up? If anyone has tried to install this before or has used Audio Cable before, you quickly realize that there is scant documentation, it installs ‘shims’ into the Device Manager on Windows to intercept audio within the system and isn’t really intuitive at all. But it isn’t that hard once you really understand what is happening and what you have to do to make it work correctly. How to Set Up Voice. Meeter Banana. First, you are going to install the software. You will be told that you need to provide permission for some device drivers to be installed into Windows. This is an important step, it allows the software to intercept system audio at a very low level in the system. Once installed, that is when things need to change. First of all, your DEFAULT Playback devices will need to change to point to the Voice. Meeter devices. Playback settings should look like this: As you can see there are two ‘VB- Audio Voice. Meeter’ devices, one entitled AUX VAIO and one just VAIO. There really isn’t any difference here until you look back at the software. In the middle of the system you see those two devices under Virtual Inputs. This actually provides an interesting capability, you can have the default audio output device be the regular input and then set your voice software (Teamspeak, Discord, etc) or any other audio device on your system that allows you to select the output device separately than your default to this other input on the mixer, allowing you mix them together, send them to separate outputs, adjust the levels of one without adjusting the levels of another, etc. For me, right now, I’ve just got everything going to the simple Voice. Meeter VAIO as this wasn’t a need I had at the time. For the Recording settings: Set your Default device to your Microphone still. I know, it sounds counter- intuitive. But where you want your sound coming out of your speakers or going to other devices to have gone through the Voice. Meeter software first, you want your input to the Voice. Meeter mixer to be pure. There are options here to use the virtual inputs we discussed earlier here, but these are for more complex situations. Again, here is where there is a lot of functionality to the software but unless you need it the mixer doesn’t require you to go through those paths. Additionally, this allows for your microphone hardware device to still be used by other applications on your system (in game chat, Discord, etc). Now, once this part of the configuration is set up, simply go into Voice. Meeter Banana and set up the input and outputs. In my configuration, I clicked on the Hardware Input 1, when you do so an option list will present itself: Here you just select the Hardware device that you have configured as the Default Recording device. Unless you have a specific reason, select the WDM version (Windows Device Manager). At this point, you have all of your system audio going to Voice. Meeter VAIO Virtual Inputs and your microphone going to Hardware Input 1. All that is left is setting up your Hardware Out: Select A1 and choose your system speakers. You can set up other output devices (like your headphones or external capture card) as A2 and A3. At this point you may still not have any sound coming out of your speakers and are worried. Don’t be, there is one last thing to verify before moving forward. Under Virtual Inputs – Voice. Meeter VAIO, make sure A1 is selected as the output for that device. That will send all system/game sounds to your speakers configured on A1 output. Under Hardware Input 1, make sure A1 is NOT selected, this would send your Microphone to your speakers. We all know this is a VERY bad idea. At this point you are basically configured. Further configuration is going to depend on your specific needs. More configuration of course can be done if you have more output or input devices, there is really a lot here that can be done with this software mixer. I’ll just give a quick overview of some of the basic features. Hardware Input. On the right side dial you see the Noise Gate. This functions much like what is set up in OBS but I find it gives far more control. Just a word of warning about this and all dials in Voice. Meeter however. You don’t ‘spin’ them as you would think you do, you literally just click on the dial and go straight up or straight down to adjust the dial. It takes a second to adjust your head around it, but it works just fine. On the left side dial you see Comp. This is a compressor system that allows you lower volume levels for really high sudden occurrences (like if you scream during scary games) without blowing out your listener’s eardrums. Play with it as you desire. The Intellipan is interesting, the main panel shows how you can put brightness or some ‘echo’ into your mic. If you right- click on the screen you are presented with a few more screens and you can cycle through them. Most of them are for the really deep audio engineer that wants to tweak everything to get ‘that perfect sound’, if you are feeling adventurous go ahead and play with them, but otherwise they aren’t really needed. Each hardware input has their own individual settings for all of these for more control. The Fader Boost does what you would expect, raises or lowers the db level of the audio on that device before sending it to the selected outputs. You can also set the input to Mono and Mute the input as necessary. Virtual Inputs. Virtual inputs operate much like the hardware based ones, for example the default playback device of your system is sent to a virtual input since we configured it that way, sending the system audio to go through Voice. Meeter VAIO.  As explained earlier you can set your Discord voice settings to go to Voice. Meeter AUX and have separate control over that audio in the mixer. Here you can do basic things like set the equalizer of the input, adjust the left, right, front and rear focus of the audio and adjust the db levels before sending the audio to the output device selected. This is also where you set your output device for each virtual input.
