Voicemeeter
A virtual audio mixer for Windows that routes, blends, and processes sound from any app or device.
What is Voicemeeter?
Voicemeeter is a virtual audio mixer application from VB-Audio that doubles as a virtual audio device, letting Windows users route, combine, and process sound from multiple physical and virtual sources into any output. It comes in three editions - the base Voicemeeter, the mid-tier Banana with parametric EQ and a built-in recorder, and the top-tier Potato with 8 physical/virtual I/O, JustVerb III reverb, multi-tap delay, denoiser, and pitch shifter - each adding more channels, buses, and DSP effects.

- Long track record of updates supporting everything from Windows XP through Windows 11, including ARM64
Cons
