I'm having some issues getting this set up. There's important stuff that just doesn't pop up for me on my end. I'm not getting the voice meter input for discord, only the VAIO3 and aux version. I also don't have the speakers virtual audio cable in the audio popup.
My piano doesn't really have a mic jack to plug in, but rather has a usb port. When I do plug it in however, I don't think voice meter recognizes it as a hardware input, so unfortunately I can't quite seem to get that part to work.
Hi! In that case, your computer detects it as a MIDI instrument. You have to use a DAW with a piano VST to get sounds. And have you checked if your piano has a Line Out? Which piano do you have?
@@chapitrilfo Hey thanks for the reply. I managed to get it to work by using flstudio in conjunction with voicemeter. You were right that it was MIDI so I had to connect it to a program that recognizes MIDI
So it's working fine, except for the piano sounds like cheeks through discord. Sounds as if it's picking up from my mic from far away rather than a direct source
Two things you can try. First, crank up the volume on the piano, or in voicemeter. Second, make sure the aux cable is plugged in all the way (this often makes it sound like it's far away).
@@TobsterStrudel Input was definitely the culprit, for the most part. Had to fiddle with the settings in potato as well to perfect it. Thanks for the quick reply!
Followed your guide to T. Good: I can hear everything on my end. Bad: peeps on discord cant hear my guitar - can only hear it from my mic. What do I do? Thanks!
That's normal, thanks for pointing it out. I'll put a disclaimer to watch the whole video before downloading. If you shut down voicemeter and refresh the page you should be able to hear it again.
Hey! I found a fix. Once you download and extract all the files, you have to run a program called "VBCABLE_Setup.exe." Make sure you run it IN ADMINISTRATOR MODE or it wont work. Then click install, reboot if ya want, and it should be there!
I don't think you're able to, I will have a tinker and look into the files of the program and see if you can change the size in the files somehow, but I doubt you will be able to. As the program wasn't programmed to be any other size than the one it is so I figure if it is shrunken a scroll will not be available and probably the program will just be cut off. So a short answer, no I don't think it is possible to make it smaller
hi, ok so i play guitar and i have an amp which has a headphones jack, like the type you would see on a regular phone. i connected the aux cable to the headphones jack and then i tried connecting the other end to the ports on my pc. however, whenever i connected it to the mic in or line in ports, potato wouldnt pick anything up. i mean nothing would pop up in the device selection menu. my computer has a realtek audio manager on it and this software can detect when i insert the aux cable, but that is the extent of it, no options what so ever. is there something i should be doing differently?
im looking for something very especific and i can't find it, it's doing that but with a very good quality sound of piano because pianos in fl studio, m1 korg etc doesn't sound good enough because it's too obvious that is not real piano and the sound of my piano is very good quality but i can't make it sound in my pc and i could use a microphone but it will still be not "perfect" so im looking for 1 good sounding piano app to play with real piano or a way to send the sound of my piano with good quality into voice chat, help pls.
Excuse me as a sound guy whose found the application from you but has been investigating by himself because he's learning about making music, I have a question. I realize this is old but nevertheless I hope someone may answer it. Why install a virtual audio cable when the virtual audio is already being input into the middle buses default being Virtual input 1? That can be routed the same way, effectively playing your desktop as a microphone if it's sent out on the correct bus without the extra cable?
It is true, using the virtual input functions the same as virtual audio cable. But we use so that you can have multiple virtual inputs and not just for the desktop audio. With Virtual Audio Cable, I can have my desktop audio, my DAW, and more if I desired.
is it normal to get an audio rendering error when trying to watch your video (on youtube) when I select my headphones for my hardware out A1 in voicemeeter?
1. Restart your computer, it might not be done initializing. 2. Make sure your speaker output on windows (bottom right sound options) is set to the appropriate VB-AudioCable.
I'm trying to run my piano through discord, but when i try to set everything up my piano is highlighted red and no sound comes out. then when i go to the sound control panel it says the device is unavailable. Does anyone know how to fix this?
When I set everything up like this my audio though my mic works though discord but my pianos audio is terrible, it will skip most notes and quietly play a few, when I listen to the piano in voicemeeter it sounds normal. Any suggestions?
@@Chrischyun When I commented I had gate turned up a little so even with auto sensitivity and noise suppression off it sounded bad, changing the gate to 0 helped a bit but I found that the best option was using a 3rd party discord client called ripcord. Its use at your own risk but it made my piano come though perfectly.
that would be the fl studio portion he was talking about. you can set it up with your daw of choice. you would in your daw have an audio track that’s your di from guitar and have the amp vst on in and have monitoring on in the daw.
I've tried working a solution for virtual amplifiers for several hours with a friend in a similar situation, and I couldn't find anything. If you can somehow get the output of the amplifier to be Virtual Output, then it should work.
Aux cable is merely the simplest way. As long as windows is recognizing sound input, you can use it in voicemeter. Not sure how that USB cable would work, but if you can get windows to detect an input, like in sound settings, it'll work.
The part with virtual audio cable is so scuffed on my end... I'm really struggling with those programs and cables... I almost want to give up on everything Edit: In fact I did give up. The sound ends up being distorted anyway, this is so depressing I'm going to go and watch the Invincible. I feel completely empty inside and every time I try to setup this program I fail Okay, one problem at a time 9:14 I can not hear fl studio but it seems like input works fine, how do I hear what's playing there?
@@TobsterStrudel good day, I’m almost certain I did mess up with it at some point in the past, so the next place to look is there. Thank you very much for the motivation, kind internet fellow!
Aux cable running from my pianos output jack to my PC's line in jack but voivemeeter isnt detecting a device. But it does detect one when i plug it into the mic port. Is that what i should be using?
@@TobsterStrudel Wow, i appreciate the quick response. I seem to have gotten things smoothed out since posting this, but it is greatly appreciated! This tutorial is awesome
@@TobsterStrudel actually another question for you. I use a focus rite solo and an at2035 as my mic setup. Since entering all the settings into voicemeeter, if I listen to the mic back through my speakers to hear how I sound. I get quite a crackling noise. Any clue why?
Try messing with the bitrates in the sound settings. I have to change mine sometimes when it doesn't sound right. Restarting the pc works as well sometimes, or reseting audio module (in the top right menu"
I already had vb cable installed since im using a soundboard, It was very easy to plug in everything, I had to plug in my headphones and microphone in the front, and the 3.5mm cable plugged into my Yamaha PSS-270's headphones plug into the back of my pc in the microphone jack. then i had to lower the volume of my synth as f**k so you cant hear white noise (the synth is from 1986, and i have a i3 2120, GT 730 DDR3 2GB, i dont know what soundcard i have, but yeah) after i fixed the white noise, i had to make it play the audio in the vb cable thingy, and... Done. (also i didnt use any tutorial, i just went here to comment this. If someone needs help setting it up, just reply to me)
You download the file from the Google drive. All the file is, is code, an xml file. So then you click on "Load Settings" in the menu of voicemeter and navigate to the file you downloaded from Google drive and it should work. Let me know if this works
Is it possible for your mic to be working while playing the piano on discord? If so how can it be done? I'm sure I've done most of this right but I have a feeling the mic isn't supposed to work when your playing the piano.
how didd u do it please help I've been trying to play guitar while using the mic because I want to sing please help me ASAP, I'm using focusrite as an interface for my guitar
Hey, thanks for making this video. I am having a problem if anyone can help me. I have my guitar plugged into the Line-in jack, and my microphone plugged in my mic jack. In voicemeeter, I can select them both to be hardware inputs but problem is; if I have my guitar connected it works perfect but my microphone name changes to red and it doesn't work. If I unplug my guitar, my microphone is normal again. It's like I can't have both of them at the same time.... I am using a jack adapter for my guitar.
You're going to have to use a DAW for the sound. Use the end of the video where I show how to use FL Studio with this, and it should be the same concept with whatever you use.
my piano wont play sound in the app? what do i do i followed that step but it just plays outloud instead and got me nowhere and i cant even use the app
Im trying to set up my bass guitar through this and i have alkmost everyting working and can hear my bass and see it showing up on VMPotato in the equalizer, however no one can hear my play my guitar
It's likely having to do with discord settings. Turn off automatic gain control and mess around with different gate levels. If you still have issues, I'll ask my bass player friend to see how he does it.
You would have to use the Virtual Audio Cable method. You'd have to use a DAW and then output the audio to voicemeter. If you dm me on discord I can help
On the back my keyboard I have two places where I could put the headphone jack. One is named phones/output and audio in. Which one do I use to get this working?
You're tutorial is actually really clear, concise and easy to follow. The amount of tutorial channels that cant do this...
Turning of the sound suppression on discord is what made it work for me
I like this man, that's all imma say, he's just... good.

You can actually use voicemeter vaoi3 and aux as virtual audio cables. I use a combination of Standard, A, B, VAOI, AUX and VAOI3
How do you reduce latency of playing the piano keys and to when you hear it?

ok, one thing I didn't quite get is, why you used the virtual audio cable for the computer sound instead of just using voicemeter input there too.
So that I could send my audio through my mic in Discord as a makeshift soundboard.
@@TobsterStrudel oh, that makes sense. Thanks for the answer!

How did you manage to get a second CABLE Output in your recording devices? I only have one
did ever find a way to fix this, if so please reply to this commet
You can download a second set on the same place there is A + B and then a C + D, but you should have 2 of them, hence it being A + B.

thank you! do you know if there's a way to route a VST instrument to VoiceMeeter so it streams just like a line in?
So how can I reduce the size of the window? It runs off the screen and I can't find how to make it smaller.

Charlie being himself
Nice! I made a video surprisingly similar to yours!
Does anyone know how to make the percussion of the guitar sound? Everything works fine but the percussion and slap are not heard.
Try turning up the compression or adjusting which pick-ups you're using.
Will this work with via usb the keyboard I have is a Roland Juno DS.
What if i only have a MIDI cable on the digital keyboard (yamaha P45)
works the same but instead of Line-In it goes through CABLE output
is there a mac tutorial for this?
can you use a midi cable?
Yes, but you need a program to make the piano sound first. Then you output that audio to virtual audio cable
Excuse me as a sound guy whose found the application from you but has been investigating by himself because he's learning about making music, I have a question. I realize this is old but nevertheless I hope someone may answer it.

There is a ton of latency doing this
Use WDM and not MME. MME has tons of latency but WDM is very playable. I find the midi not very playable though, plenty of delay with that
