Separating audio in OBS isn't hard. But you know what is hard? Making those god damn graphics. Good lord that took me too long. Never make me do that again.
Tell all your friends about me so I feel like it was worth my time even though we all know it wasn't.

Been using this setup for a few months and I just want to say, thank you so much for this! Been able to watch streams and listen to music while recording. Makes it all so much better haha, youre a legend!

As a visual person, I am thankful. My friend kept explaining this to me over and over and I just could not understand. And then he called me a boomer and I got sad. This is why I am here.

Dude, 1 week ago i was actually looking for a tutorial about this and couldn't figure it out. Now it worked! THANK YOU!

[WhopyStompy]

I seriously appreciate the minute detail and breaking down of concepts at the "kindergarten" level because this helps me have a better understanding of how the system works overall.

Short and quick format is nice in a pinch, but if you're trying to tinker and learn, these long form tutorials are the best. You earned a sub my man!

Just a heads up, if anyone's headset sound sounds garbly when you choose WDM, just switch to MME instead or try a different driver. Its an easily fixable issue, that might not necessarily be super obvious.

This can be so frustrating to set up to the point of tears, and legit your calm voice makes it easier to not have a fuckin' meltdown setting this shit up. Thanks for the help and just being cool

[leonthesleepy]

I cant believe this actually works so smoothly, thank you!
I was scratching my head wondering how the heck do i stream on Twitch, but not have my discord chat audio be broadcasting on Twitch via OBS. With this, i can control it all so easily :)

Voicemeeter is incredibly intuitive once you understand it. I use banana on my gaming pc and potato on my streaming pc. Works like a charm.

I know this is kind of an old video but dude I have to tell you how much I appreciate this video. Just the whole tone of ‘hey I know this looks confusing - like wtf is all this, right?- but I’m gonna talk you through it’ was REALLY what I needed! So yeah, tysm for taking the time to make this for dummies like me 😅

[BlackReshiram]

oh my gods dude ive been trying to split my audio for four hours now and im way over my bed time but your video is the one that finally made the difference and helped me succeeding in splitting it! thank you so much!!!

[BAMsPG]

Best tutorial ever brother, I appreciate the hard work done in this video hella under rated.

[looof]

6:25 You can right-click the speaker icon in your taskbar n press sound. Much easier way to get to sound settings

This was one of the easiest tutorials I've found, and your humour is the cherry on top. Thank you!

I have been scratching my head at separating my desktop audios sources for a while now. A freind recommended Voicemeeter but when I was tyring to figure it out with some written tutorial info and a video or two things weren't working for me at all. You have no only helped explain this in a helpful way, you even helped to point out other sources that I may or may not want to have sectioned out from my streaming and heard audio outputs. Thank you. I did have to go with a different output codec because something was cause the codec you picked to create a choppy quality in my sound, but switch to a different audio codec for the same output source did the trick for me. Thank you for taking the time to explain this in a helpful and thoughtful way. Even if it wasn't a "funny" video, it was extremely helpful.

I started using Voicemeter about a year ago now. This was by far the most useful tutorial of VM that I've used. I still come back to it a year later just to refresh myself whenever some setting messes up or I change my audio hardware around. Thanks for such a simple and somewhat entertaining tutorial video.

[TheJoshdimples]

Having watched several voicemeter setup videos, I must say this is the ONLY one that made any sense.

I installed voicemeter 6months ago and uninstalled because I didn't know shit... Today i setup in less than 15m, even fudging around with virtual cables and shit.

Cheers Nutty

[notwow]

ah yes, "for windows only", those terrifying words that i never have to fear ever again thanks to building a computer

[iamthewalrus]

Some of the presented concepts were kinda mind-bending since I'm no Lucas Studio audio tech. But after a couple rewind-listens, I now get it! Thanks Nutty!

this video is a life saver, have watched it at least 7 dif occasions to fix audio on my pc and works like a charm every time i have issues.
