![]() Step 3: Configuring your busĪfter making sure both your mic and your desktop sound are sent to “B1”, you’re going to configure B1. Ignore “A1” and “A2,” as that’s just my personal setup. This means that anything that’s played through my desktop (like music, sounds from my browser, etc) that use my default device (ie, you haven’t changed it to something else), Voicemeeter will “hear” it.Īgain, note the “ B1” track highlighted here. For me, it’s labelled “Voicemeeter Input.” In Windows (or MacOS), you’ll need to make sure your default audio device is Voicemeeter’s first virtual input. This is the track where Voicemeeter will “hear” my input audio. Keep in mind the “ B1” track being live, as it will come into play later. When you load Voicemeeter, make sure “Hardware Input #1” is set to your microphone. ![]() You’re going to need to configure Voicemeeter to hear both your audio, and the audio of your subject. The software I’m going to be using is Voicemeeter Potato, but this method should work with both Voicemeeter Banana and “ Default Voicemeeter“, as well. If this is something you found useful, consider supporting my writing or tossing me a tip. This “tape recorder” interface has a number of switches to change what tracks it records, but in order to make it work for a podcast setup, I had to do some digging. Voicemeeter does have a way to record what it’s “hearing”, with audio from both your computer or your microphone, but it takes a bit of setup. I use Voicemeeter already as a software audio mixer for my microphone and volume outputs being able to see where the levels are in its interface makes eyeballing what a good volume is a lot easier than using the default Windows dialogs. I don’t have time for that, so I wanted to try to make the process easier using Voicemeeter. This can be flawed because it doesn’t leave any room for error: you’re either stuck with the audio you’ve recorded, or you’re painstakingly cutting up one track and then raising the volume for each speaker. Most common is probably using something like OBS Studio to record microphone and desktop audio to one file, and then doing the volume balancing in OBS itself. If you’re using something like Zoom, Google Meet or Discord to record your calls, there’s a couple different methods of doing so. Separating our voices into different tracks means that one file would only have one person’s audio this makes editing a lot easier. ![]() I’ve been recording interviews with people for my newsletter, PlusHeart and came across a bit of a problem: I wanted to record both myself and my guest on separate audio tracks, so I could balance their volumes in Adobe Audition. However, this also introduces additional problems, as creators can’t always have a sweet in-home setup for recording multiple people. Podcasting has exploded in popularity as technology has made creating easier.
