Our problem is not with recording, but rather with hearing 🙂

We are currently using a Jabra 510 while we have video conferences for board meeting etc (using Zoom). The problem is that people physically present are seated a bit scattered (sitting at two different tables around 5 meters apart. That makes it hard for the people that are using zoom to hear everybody.

Will the process described hear also work for adding another Jabra 510 to the computer, placing that microphone on the other table?

Could you explain the “Make an Input and Output source” part? I followed the steps and in Voicemeeter it picks up both my mics but when I go to audacity it doesn’t show up in Input nor Output…

In reply to Martyna.

ASIO interfaces sometimes run into conflict when they are open for use as a WDM device. In other words, when they are open for use in windows. You can try disabling the audio device and restarting VoiceMeeter. To disable the audio device in windows, navigate to your sound settings in windows. Right-click on your device and select disable: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Nq-7m7YxtxNG_RmbohHVqHxV-6tvueVk

Using two USB mics does sometimes require an advanced understanding of sound drivers for your computer, which is why we don’t recommend it except as a workaround.

Same question same problem. I’ve got 2 of the same mic and even after installing ASIO i can’t select them when audio mapping. Please help!

I’m trying to start a video podcast with 3 hosts. How do we connect audio of our 3 mics (all usb) in the computer, centralize sound, and what video editing software is good? Also, do we need to somehow sync up audio with the camera?

In reply to Ben V.. It is, but it's complicated. A better method would be to use an external audio interface that will run on either USB or its own power.

This was really helpful and I’ve followed all the steps. However i have encountered one problem and was hoping you could help me. When i try and record with the 2x Atr 2100s that i brought 2 things happen. My first USB port no matter what mic I plug In, the audio from that mic is perfect. However once i plug the 2nd mic into another port it registers on voice meeter that it is picking up sound, just slightly less than the first mic. However when i then go to record in audacity only the mic in the 1st usb port picks up any sound. I have spent hours watching yt videos and fiddling with settings and I still can’t get it to work so any help would be awesome.

I have 2 USB mics currently, looking to upgrade to 3/4. If I have 4 USB slots on my PC, will this be ok to add them all in using Voicemeeter and record like that? Or can a PC not handle 4 USB mics? I don’t need 4 different tracks, in fact I’d like only one output stream

Also, do all mics need to be identical type/brand if recording together?

In reply to Dave Souza. I don't think so, why?
