I’ve never tried this Voice Meeter software but apparently it enables you to route and mix various audio sources and applications WITHIN your computer. It works on Windows and Mac, unlike the amazing (and probably superior) Audio Hijack which is Mac only.
I haven’t confirmed that Voice Meeter does the following, but in general, internally routing audio from various apps is handy because it allows you to, for instance, simultaneously record a Skype guest on his/her own track, record a Chrome guest (Zencastr, Squadcast, etc.) on his/her own track, record a FaceTime guest on his/her own track, as well as any other app’s audio on its own track. Audio Hijack does this beautifully, but I haven’t confirmed that Voice Meeter operates this way as well.
Have you used Voice Meeter? I’d love to hear about your experience using it.

I haven’t used Voice Meeter either, but I have used Sound Siphon on macOS and works great. I covered Sound Siphon in BeyondPodcasting episode 13 when i discussed it with Rob Greenlee ( https://beyondpodcasting.com/unleash-spreaker-studios-hidden-power/ ) and in this article: https://www.provideocoalition.com/unleash-spreaker-studios-hidden-power/
I do have Audio Hijack, and still don’t use that a ton. I’m going to forego this one.
It appears to be windows only. Which on some level is good. Windows has needed something like Audio Hijack for a while so I’m glad it exists. I need to set up audio hijack one of these days. I want to experiment with live streaming our recording sessions but we’re not yet there.
Thanks for the tips, always little nuggets to amp things up just a bit.
I use VoiceMeeter and Audacity when i do Interviews. At the beggining i has delay problems, but I discovered how to solve them. If you hace issues with it, I can share with you my configuration
I can vouch for Voicemeeter. I’ve been using it almost exclusively for recording. Depending on the version you get, you can have something like 6-8 tracks. This makes editing in whatever DAW easier because everything is more or less synched up.
I use Voicemeeter Potato to route my audio into my DAW (Reaper) for remote podcasting. I’ve been using Zencastr to host the conversation with my co-hosts, and I just use the separate tracks from that site and import into my DAW. Meanwhile, I have voicemeeter routing audio from my two local mics as well as Skype for guests by phone into separate tracks in my DAW. I also have two separate channels in VM that send audio to two tracks for a separate browser and a sound board.
Voicemeeter makes all of this possible. It took me a little bit of time to learn how to configure it, but once I did, I’m so very happy with it. As for learning to configure everything, YouTube is your friend.
