Voicemeeter BananaThe official version is aaudio adjustment software, Voicemeeter The official Banana software has a beautiful interface, powerful and practical functions, and a wide range of applications. Voicemeeter Banana software also has a powerful audio engine that can help you adjust the playback mode of raw sound files on your computer, especially when designing reverb orelectronic musicaspect, changing the sound parameters can output different types ofaudio effects.

Voicemeeter Banana Highlights

Preset switching and scene adaptation

Save scene configurations such as "live broadcast/recording/office" and switch sound effect parameters (such as vocal enhancement during live broadcast and noise reduction during meetings) with one click to avoid repeated parameter adjustments.

Cross-software linkage and compatibility

Compatible with mainstream software such as OBS, Audition, Zoom, and Skype, enabling cross-platform audio streaming (such as OBS sound synchronization to recording software backup).

Supports Windows XP to Windows 11 (including Arm64 architecture) and adapts to various physical audio devices and audio software.

Voicemeeter BananaFunction introduction

Multi-device audio management

Hardware input: Supports the connection of physical devices such as microphones, line inputs, and headphones, and simultaneous access to multiple audio sources.

Virtual input: Capture virtual audio streams from browsers, music players, game sound effects and other applications to achieve sound separation.

Independent sound control: Each input supports gain adjustment (-60dB to +12dB), sound and image adjustment, and mute/solo functions to solve the problem of radio interference from multiple devices.

Flexible audio routing and output distribution

Output terminal: Simultaneously send the mixed audio to headphones, speakers, live streaming software (such as OBS), recording software, etc. The volume and sound effects of each terminal are independently adjustable.

Channel Matrix: Freely map audio streams through an 8x8 matrix to achieve complex scenarios (such as sending game sound effects to headphones, microphone voice to live push streams, and monitoring background music locally).

VBAN network transmission: Send audio streams to other devices within the LAN via UDP protocol, supporting cross-computer mixing (such as band ensemble recording or distributed recording).

Real-time sound effects processing

Basic effects: built-in equalizer (EQ), compressor, noise reducer, reverb, etc. Parameters can be adjusted independently for each input channel to optimize the balance between vocals and background sounds.

VST plug-in support: Load VST plug-ins through third-party hosts (such as Minihost Modular) to expand advanced sound effects such as reverb and voice change to meet refined adjustment needs.

Low-latency optimization: With ASIO driver (professional version Banana/Potato), the audio delay is controlled within 10ms, suitable for live broadcast real-time interaction and professional recording.

Virtual sound card management

Virtual device creation: Generate "Voicemeeter Input/Output" virtual devices to facilitate calls by other software and avoid insufficient physical interfaces (such as connecting multiple sound cards or microphones at the same time).

Multi-channel support: Supports 5.1/7.1 surround sound for home theater or professional audio systems.

Recording and multi-format support

Multi-track recording: Directly record mixed audio or a single channel, supporting WAV, MP3, AIFF, BWF, MP4, M4A and other formats.

Tape Deck function: Record or play any audio source or file with a mouse click for easy post-editing.

Voicemeeter BananaSoftware features

Lightweight, low consumption and easy to use

The background CPU usage is <5% and the memory is <20MB, which does not affect the running of core tasks.

The interface layout is similar to a traditional mixer, with intuitive fader and knob operations, making it easy for novices to get started quickly; advanced functions (such as matrix routing) meet the needs of professional users.

Open source ecology and community support

The official provides detailed tutorials, and third-party developers have contributed a wealth of plug-ins (such as the Stream Deck integration tool) and scripts (such as automatically adjusting process priorities to reduce lags).

Community-developed tools like Voicemeeter Auto Affinity further optimize performance and resolve specific issues like audio stuttering.

Voicemeeter BananaHow to use

The Voicemeeter rule application assigns a virtual audio device, then it will appear in your application menu (audio menu item in VB) and the audio device list in the system as a new playback and recording device.

Voicemeeter now offers vban functionality to send 4 audio streams and receive virtual input to up to 2 person(s). Just define a destination IP address to send the audio to another computer on your local network...use 255 The UDP broadcast address sends the audio stream to all computers on the local network.

Vban Stack Voicemeeter is able to manage any audio stream, in any audio format (PCM 16/ 24bits), at any sample rate (independent of the mainstream sample rate), from channels 1 to 8. So it is possible to send/receive stereo, 5.1 or even 7.1 signals in native PCM format (High Definition Audio).
