VB-Audio has updated its Voicemeeter range of virtual audio mixers.
The Voicemeeter Standard, Voicemeeter Banana and Potato virtual mixers for Windows are now available in versions 1 0 8 1/2 0 6 1 and 3 0 2 1, offering improvements and new features, especially the monitoring function in Potato (monitor on SEL) and VM-Streamer-View application – an example of a custom GUI using Voicemeeter Remote API to control Voicemeeter according a specific workflow. VM-Streamer-View is also available as open source code project for developers willing to create their own custom GUI.
These new versions also address reported issues and bring a better reliability and general latency (with a improved support for Windows Audio Session API share mode and USB device disconnection). All VBAN (VB-Audio Network) applications for mobile devices are scheduled to be updated in December to take advantage of all technology developments.
The Macro-Buttons application (installed with Voicemeeter) also offers new basic functions to better manage button configuration for Copy/Paste/Load/Save, and provides new HID management that is expected to work with any HID (Human Interface Device) including extra keyboard and mouse. This universal HID management could replace the regular keyboard management for some very special keys or for a better international keyboard support. Voicemeeter Midi mapping provides new control of pan and bus assignations.
‘We worked a lot on maintenance and client service this year,’ says Vincent Burel. ‘We opened a Discord server to support all VB-Audio users, and I would like to thank all moderators and helpers for making this successful. We thought we could propose a first version of Voicemeeter for Mac by the end of this year, but our different validation processes for this project took more time than expected. We now hope a first macOS version will be ready in 2022.’
Voicemeeter Standard and Voicemeeter Banana are distributed as simple Donationware, while Voicemeeter Potato is distributed as donationware with an activation code.
