This is great for DAWs that don't allow you to output to another interface. Perfect solution for what we use at church to mix/route audio to our broadcast.
I was initially confused about VB Matrix but this video helped me understand better. Currently my setup doesn't need such extensibility. Banana, ASIO Bridge, Virtual cable is all I need to achieve everything I want. The only issue remains is Windows, where "App volume and device preferences" do not stay set.
Yes it's definitely not for everyone's use case! I think the Windows Audio Stack will always have some problems and never will fully satisfy the advanced user.
Thanks for this. Great solution to expanding IO into a DAW with different audio interfaces. Wordclock them together and this should allow much more in out for me. Thanks for the info
Hi, I just heart of this new release. I got VoiceMeeter Potato and ASIO Link Pro and ASIO Link Pro worked well, but this thing is not intuitive. I will try VB Matrix, that seems to be a streamlined approach to ASIO Link Pro. Thanks for that video, mate!
I'm using it with VoiceMeeter and the combination is excellent. I've been using VoiceMeeter for routing and level control in a complex configuration of radios, but there is a signal which contains unrelated information on the two (left and right) channels. I wanted to split these out to two separate mono signals and VoiceMeeter does not do that well. Matrix makes it easy - and I can add some additional gain which I needed as well. A question - is there any API into Matrix? I control my configuration from an external program that calls the VoiceMeeter API - it would be really good to be able to select Matrix patches from that program too! Martin
I had to abandon the idea of using it. After several weeks of testing I realized that the program cannot synchronize a madi signal at 96khz and rotate channels USB to an x32 mixer at 48khz without dropouts and glitchs. Too bad the idea was good
PT-BR: pretendia usar o Matrix para agregar mais placas de som para mais saídas e não usar mais Asio4all, mas acho que não entendi direito o software ou como fazer isso. Teria alguma dica?
I have a Motu 8A, I would like to play multi track files that are L, C, R, Sub, Lusr, Rsur into it, windows does not recognize it as anything more than a 24ch output device (not configurable for 5.1 or 7.1) would this software allow for the translation of the 7.1 content to map to Ch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 out of the Motu 8A?
e.g. route the youtube browser output to one of the vaio interfaces and then use matrix and route the vaio interface into one of the vasio interfaces. inside your daw you just have to use the matrix vasio device you are routing your youtube audio to.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm stuck with something. I would like to use my external mic for Ms teams calls. I would like the chain to be Mic Audio interface Reaper (for effects) VB audio Ms teams Is that possible?
i dont know if audio effects are applied to the monitor output in reaper, but if so, you can route your audio like this: mic -> matrix -> reaper -> matrix -> teams. but i would strongly discourage you from using any daw not built for that purpose for applying any audio effects in a live environment. if would suggest using a vst host to apply audio effects through vst plugins. for that purpose you can try lighthost or cantabile. or if you just need a baseic noise gate and compressor, maybe give voicemeeter a try.
@NavyTheNerd This still does not make routing any easier than Voicemeeter for me. It's still pretty confusing. But, I guess my brain just isn't big enough. There are just a couple of Matrix videos. I've got Matrix, Voicemeeter Potato, VB-audio cables A,B,C,D, My focusrite 2i2, Reaper, Voicemod(for soundboard, Mic audio is garbage)OBS, TikTok Live Studio, FL Studio, ASIO4ALL, RealTek audio built into the motherboard(Always the absolute worse audio), Audio Technica 2020. It would be wonderful if somebody would make a tut on how to route Matrix and Voicemeeter(or no Voicemeeter), Voicemod, OBS, and reaper. Should I involve Ear Trumpet? Should I mess with the Windows Mixer per source(Browser, game, etc). Maybe use the VB-audio A,B,C,D, cables? I'm pretty savy. But I admit that routing scrambles my brain. I also noticed that its rare when all 3 Virtual audio ports sound good together. Meaning If I'm using all 3 from 3 different sources. One of them sounds like shit. Usually not VAIO3. But sometimes. Would adding a second audio interface help? I mean I think that will increase my ASIO sources.
I use Minihost for routing using the ASIO insert on VoiceMeeter, but it would be better if I could use my 3 ASIO devices at lower latency! This looks better for that OwO! I need to test it now!
Great video but can you please work on your mic a bit so we can't hear the wetness when you talk. It seems you are no using a gate or expander to remove these unwanted noises. It made it very distracting to watch. But thank you for the video!
Hi, I'm trying to get two audio outputs to combine, that way I'll be able to hear both but obs will only record one, do you know how this would be possible with this
I don't have an audio interface with audio loop back. I guess this will save me from dropping a few hundred to simply just route audio from Cubase to OBS, huh?
If you only wanna route audio from one application to another i would say yes. You could always upgrade to hardware solutions if the virtual software routing is not enough for you.
@@NavyTheNerd this actually seems to be EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I just wanted to make sure it's general purpose and ability for audio loop back. Btw, well done on this video.

great alternative for Dante Via

I think you can send the commands shown in the cli window via vban chat, but i havent tried that.
is it possible to route 5.1 audio from vlc? help appreciated
testing it now its little crasy what you can route this togheter with rme interface😆
Is it possible to combine two audio interfaces and record in a DAW in Win11?
you should be able to assign multiple asio devices inside of matrix
Thank you so much
Can you connect guitar and mic on discord? through DAW ?

I don’t have a reroute option in asio steinberg
Hey Thx for the Video! I am using a Steinberg Interface . What is my ReaRoute Asio driver? Greetings
Thanks

Would be good if you bit it longer operation, windows audio routing multiple devices or cable routing
Yes, this was primarily intended as a quick demo for advanced usecases for users already familiar with Voiemeeter.
If only someone would make a d a w that allows you to create a new audio track and simply use a virtual cable as the source
I have a Motu 8A, I would like to play multi track files that are L, C, R, Sub, Lusr, Rsur into it, windows does not recognize it as anything more than a 24ch output device (not configurable for 5.1 or 7.1) would this software allow for the translation of the 7.1 content to map to Ch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 out of the Motu 8A?
Surely, since the routing grid will allow you to route any source to any out.
does it support routing presets which you can easily switch within?
yes with the latest version you can store different presets, either for the whole routing grid or specific zones in the grid
@@NavyTheNerd Noice!
i only get the left signal coming through, do you have a solution?
in matrix you need to route each channel manually. maybe you only have routed your left channel
@@NavyTheNerd thanks, fixed it
For left and right channels the intersection between the input and output will always look like a pair of boxes positioned diagonaly.
how would you connect youtube output into a input bus inside bitwig (or any other DAW)?
e.g. route the youtube browser output to one of the vaio interfaces and then use matrix and route the vaio interface into one of the vasio interfaces. inside your daw you just have to use the matrix vasio device you are routing your youtube audio to.
My vm streamer view looks nothing like this does anyone know why mines more simplistic even though i have potato
Can you use this with voicemeeter? I want to use two ASIO devices in voicemeeter
yes you can use both alongside. just use the voicemeeter asio capabilities
Thank you for sharing this. I'm stuck with something.
I would like to use my external mic for Ms teams calls.
I would like the chain to be
Mic
Audio interface
Reaper (for effects)
VB audio
Ms teams
Is that possible?

can i used this to elgato wavelink?
Yes you should be able to route audio either from wavelink to matrix or from matrix to wavelink.
@@NavyTheNerd thank you.☑
