Hifi Cable Question
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2018 10:01 pm
Good afternoon. I have a specific question with regard to the hifi audio cables and ASIO bridge. I will say for the record that I am an audio neophyte and have learned what I know through trial and error and watching youtube videos!
My question is around my current setup using voicemeeter banana. Specifically, I play and stream d&d games over the internet using twitch and OBS. I use voicemeeter banana to handle all my sound input/output. I feel like I finally have a pretty good handle on the basic use of VMB. There are certain sounds (moods, sound effects) that I play for my players who are playing with me over the internet. We use discord for our voices, but I am outputting sound effects to them through cleanfeed (http://www.cleanfeed.net). It is awesome as it works directly from your browser (chrome only right now) and the quality seems very good. (And it is free!).
So, currently I have everything set up to send all my sounds (and I use one VAC, Voicemeeter input and Voicemeeter Aux input to each handle separate sounds like Syrinscape, Ableton Live lite and my desktop) through Voicemeeter output (B1). Its working well but I though of one other wrinkle. If I use the ASIO bridge and set it to Voicemeeter Virtual ASIO, then as I understand it, everything I am sending to B1 now will go through the ASIO bridge. So, I can then send the ouput from the hifi cable ouput into cleanfeed and my players can connect directly to cleanfeed. My question is, am I gaining anything from adding the ASIO bridge and sending my output to cleanfeed using the hifi cable output? Or am I just overcomplicating things and not adding any quality. Currently I am just sending the output of B1 to cleanfeed without using the ASIO bridge.
Anyway, thanks for indulging a novice. I've certainly learned a ton reading all the VMB manauls and watching a ton of videos. Loving the programs and my players love the sounds! Thanks again for any assistance.
