Sounds like an audiophile kind of rational to me. I assumed the reason it doesn't have one, and the reason VAC has it disabled by default, is so that people doing actual sound mixing won't have one more level control they forgot about that is effectively reducing bit depth. I find it weird though to say vb-cable isn't for audiophiles, yet it doesn't need a volume control. It doesn't help that these changes require reboots. I don't know if those are identical to the options in the vb control panel. I used only the windows control panels, which do expose sampling rate options for the vb input and output devices. I did play around with matching up sample rates, but that was before I found the control panel. No reason to give all the good stuff away. I suspect they aren't donationware, which is fine. I haven't checked out the other options but I will. But if you don't want to say you're providing a virtual sound device, just a cable, then we aren't talking about anything like a real cable, but just an application layer so-called 'cable' which has really no direct match in the physical world anyway, and so any analogy is whatever you want it to be.

I still take issue with the 'real cable' analogy in the context of implying that it justifies some functionality or lack there of. What do I do wrong, or, in case this setup is not supported for some reason, what alternatives do exist? Every hint is welcome.Ok thanks for the reply. If possible I would like to stick with it. It was easy to install and did not need any configuration. VB-CABLE is using PortAudio V19.5.0 and supports several interface types (MME, Windows WASAPI and Windows Direct Sound).

The voice example works fine with input: 1 or input: 2 as well as without the input parameter at all.įinally, to make sure I’m not completely wrong, I used the “CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)” for 2 Channel Stereo input for recording the output of HELM in Audacity. I also tried without the input: parameter at all. On input: I tried any number from 3 to 9. I tried as follows: # live_audio :voice, input: 1 I downloaded and installed this software, but now I dont know how get live_audio input from it. Googling around for an audio loopback device I found a software called VB-CABLE, which is a virtual audio device working as virtual audio cable. However, I’m using Windows 10 and cannot get this to work. There is a tutorial on Youtube demonstrating how this can be done on a Mac.

What I want to achieve is to send MIDI data to HELM and feed the output of HELM back to live_audio for input in Sonic-Pi. I’m currently trying to combine Sonic-Pi with HELM.
