Internal Software Audio Mixer Recommendations

[VidBlasterAngel]

Hello,

I have 2 separate line-in audio inputs coming into my Windows 7 64-Bit PC.

I would like VidBlaster to receive & play the audio from both of them in the stream.

I believe I am looking for software to act as a mixer of these two audio devices, and also be a selectable audio device for VidBlaster to play from.

I've searched the VB forums & Google for several hours but can't seem to find a real-time software audio mixer program to accomplish this simple task. I just seem to be finding standard audio mixer recording programs, which doesn't seem to be correct.

Is there any software that you may know of to accomplish this?

Or maybe some help on identifying accurate keywords to search for this specific type of program?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you! :)

Just wondering, does the audio card in your pc already have some mixer software? My PC has a Realtek audio card and that certainly has a mixer built-in as part of the driver software. You would be able to find it on a windows PC, under "audio devices" in the control panel. As you probably know, in order to mix your two line-level signals, you would actually need an audio card which has two genuinely separate line-level audio inputs, not just two sockets which are essentially paralleled. If that's the case, there's no reason why you can't leave the mixer window visible and mix in real time.

To get at the resulting mix, you would also have to select your audio card in vidblaster as the audio source by right-clicking (if I remember right) on the audio module. It should be there as one of the options - there will also probably be audio sources direct from any webcams you have installed, but you want to select your soundcard as the source and then hopefully you will be able to do what you want to do.

However, I would have thought that it's maybe better to use an external mixer, if you're also busy mixing video on the machine - just to make it operationally easier?

Get a mixer with a USB to the pc...

Or look at "what you hear" or "stereo mix" as the device to choose in VB if you setup has those options

Again a mixer is the way to go as you can independently mute or adjust audio by card or input souce levels on the fly ...
