I'd really like to hear from someone who has worked with both. I've searched, but have not been able to find a head-to-head comparison of the two. I'm assuming both will work equally well. I will, most likely, be also mixing and routing OBS through Voicemeeter in order to feed telecon and Focusrite outputs, as well as potential recording of live streams. My real concern is which works best with regards to things like reliability, latency, etc? It's a huge concern that any option has to 'play nice' with OBS, my Focusrite drivers, the onboard Realtek audio, and everything from Pro Tools to Reaper to Audacity. Less cost, but more limited in the number of available patches. The second are the VB-Cable A+B and C+D from VB-Audio, the same guys that make Voicemeeter.

It costs a bit more than the alternative, but provides effectively unlimited virtual cables. What to watch for? What are the gotchas? etc.įirst there's Muzichenko's original VAC.

I'm curious about any advice and or experience running virtual cables. This is new for me, though I have plenty of experience with real-world patching on sound systems, as well as being very comfortable technically (engineer on the day job). I'm needing to run some virtual audio cables for some internal patching in my computer.
