I have 3 virtual audio inputs labelled “VOIP, Edge Sound and Spotify”. It is best to use WDM for the master outputs as you will see in the optimisation section of this tutorial. WDM stands for Windows Driver Model and is a built in audio driver for audio devices. I have A1 configured to the WDM driver of my headphones and A2 to the WDM driver of my speakers. At the top right you have you master audio outputs (A1, A2 and A3). Whilst it might look intimidating at first, when you look closely you will notice it’s really not that complicated. With the 1803 windows update, a new audio mixer was added to the windows sound configuration settings which allows you to set a specific output device for any application emitting audio You can download them here: Once installed, all you have to do is restart and the devices should appear in your audio device manager. I use the base cable with A+B for additional configuration. This means that you can use it to separate various applications emitting audio. This is a super handy piece of software that allows you to channel the output of an audio application to a specific virtual audio device and the output will come through the input device of the same cable. Also VoiceMeeter allows you to output the same audio of an application to multiple outputs without any additional hardware! The configurationįor the sake of making this easier to follow i’m sectioning the various configurations of each software into their own groups VB-AUDIO cables Having the ability to toggle on/off your background music, VOIP software in the edit is an essential tool that will make your edits cleaner and more professional.

Another feature you could use this setup for is creating clips on a youtube channel if you so desired.

Streaming has recently picked up a lot of attention due the quarantine restrictions around the world, if you wish to enter the world of streaming then having a good audio setup is one way that might help you gain followers more quickly.

VB-CABLE virtual audio cables, (I also purchased the A+B cables for more inputs).

OBS (For recording of applications/streaming).

VoiceMeeter (I use banana which is free but if you have more/less audio inputs, potato or the basic version will work fine).
