vMix Audio Buses - Send different audio mixes to different places or together as multi-channel audio

In this video, we’ll be using audio buses to send different audio mixes to different destinations, as well as creating a multi-channel audio output that can be used for post-production editing.

I love it that you put on a beige jacket after the news cast. Video is informative and funny

[lastsonofthewest]

You are fantastic! I always look forward to your videos, by far my favorite presenter!

[adriansinclair]

Super excited that you're doing this tutorial. It's been always super convoluted how to route audio when recording video calls with Google meets and zoom.

[IllinoisChannelTV]

Thanks for a very good and MOSTLY easy to follow explanation. A bit of playing with these buses and it'll make even more sense, but I now get the idea and never before had any idea what applications we had for the buses or how to expand the audio layout.

[ShawnHHVP]

Again, good stuff, just getting into the thick of vMix, previous experience on Ross Carbonite and Tri-Caster. You gents rock!

[RelentlessHomesteading]

ah mate - well done !
Haven't had to use multiple buses before...

[StreamverseTV]

With this video I learned the importance of beige jackets. WHERE DO I GET ONE?!

[cyeo]

Thanks, Heath, etc all. We'll put together tutorial. I find this kind of video very useful.

I figured out the idea of sending a private back channel audio from the producer to vMixCallers early last year during the height of the pandemic. It worked out great, being able to communicate and Queue vMixCallers during a live production.
The text chat function just wasn't working as callers most times don't notice new messages. (Perhaps a popup or some blinking text or indicators might help.)

I hate indiscoverability.

If resizing the mixer doesn't show the other bus buttons, RFE: make sure that at least the first 2 lettered buses *which are enabled on a channel* populate the buttons on that channel?

[EasternShoreBroadcasting]

Excellent tutorial, Heath! You're going to put Tim out of a job!

[xdshn]

What does 1+2 mean to the right of the bus in the audio settings?

[Left-WingKingz]

Can you make a video on how to connecting the RODECaster Pro 2 to vMix via ASIO. I have followed the steps in your knowledge base and I can't hear my audio in my RODECaster headphones.

[FrancoAversa]

Can I use a BUS to send only the microphone of the speaker in the conference room to Zoom and prevent the audio from going into larsen?

[tomfoolery]

However, you can’t adjust the levels per mix.
If you want bob to be (0-10 level) 8 on bus A, but we want his level to be 2 on bus B, nope. That would be a life changer.

[SamHocking]

How do we set the bus to be multichannel for e.g. 5.1 surround 'streaming' ?

[TheElismaShow]

Can someone please help me understand how to hear myself when I have guest on my live stream without feedback?
I am using a cam-link with a Blackmagic 4k pro but I can't see the best way to put get the audio in and out .

[iaitf_dumai_Tafidu_Televisi]

hello brothers how send audio vcall to mixer brother?

[imzadi]

Can bus A be split into two? Left and Right? Then separate signals on each?

[evanreinstein]

Hey guys, what is the reason you can not hear audio from bus when it's sent to the Master, through a vmix call?
