What kind of mixer do you use?

The videos are at the bottom of the page. Yes, technology is catching up.

I'm going to hold onto my mixer for a couple more months to make sure I won't need it podcasting. If my guess is right... I won't need it. I'll put that puppy on craigslist and give it a fair-the-well. The mixer is 16 x 16 x 6 and takes up too much space on my desktop.

How many inputs and outputs do you typically use on a production?
How are you connecting the hardware audio inputs into your computer without using your mixer?

I just watched the first video and it was a little creepy. The background music overpowered the presenter and it sounded horrible. The virtual XLR cables and all those drop down menus are more than I think I could handle. Then again, I'll be older than dirt in less than a week. As they say, 'different strokes for different folks'. My skin is still crawling from the presenter's voice.

I user one input far left column of the voicemeeter for mic., the second column is for second mic or you use for Skype and turn of the sound playback to the Skype caller (mixminus).
The third column will play your audacity, or other system audio. The outputs in the fourth column are for the A and B.

This is the best tutorial I found for starting out.

I was very determined to make it work, even though I did have difficulties with it.

Yeah, that background music was bad, but the video with the guy talking in the background and foreground really got to me.

Do you have USB mic?

Thanks!

I am guessing you are asking Dan that mic question. If not, I have the Audio Technica 2005USB/XLR microphone.

I messed up my response and posted it as a reply to MovieBuff. Anyway, I no longer have a USB mic as I retired my Apogee. I do still have the Shure USB converter if anyone is interested. Once I finally found a dynamic mic that worked for me I stopped the mic love-fest. Along those lines, I guess this whole virtual mixer set-up can prevent costly missteps with equipment so that's a good thing'.

Just an update if you didn't know already but the developer of VoiceMeter is currently working on a 5 or 6 channel version with channel FX, i.e EQ etc...

That is good news

That is fantastic news.
The next step would be to have several USB mics on a USB hub or several XLR mics on a usb converter box connected to a computer.
