Hi all, I'm trying to create a push to talk shortcut on my Streamdeck. I select the action and Audio Bus On for down press and off for release. When I then go to test, the push to talk works for the Main audio out but not any of the busses.
What am I missing here?

Cheers.

This Script switches on all Inputs Audio Bus D off, you can replace D with M/A-G



This Script switches all Audiobusses ON on Input4 (except M)



the same, to switch off a bus on a input


there is a super little program from User Raugert in 3rd Party Software, which lets you easy find out more things about scripting
vMix Script Builder App

OK, I'm at a bit of a loss.

On the push of a button on the Streamdeck, I want to send my microphone 'Audio Microphone on input 28' to Audio busses A-G.
I just want that mic to be agged to the Audio Busses. I don't want to turn those busses on or off, just add my microphone source. What function should I choose? Audio bus on?

Hi Tone13,

What software are you using to manage the stream deck? If you're using Bitfocus Companion then simply add multiple actions to the button press. If you aren't using Companion I highly recommend it.
The latest beta companion build (v2.0.0.0) has support for Vmix including the functionality you want to implement (again add multiple actions, one per bus).

Hope that helps!

I've tried these but it doesn't work, it still switches the microphone to the M bus rather than the A-G busses. Obviously I'm doing something wrong in my script. To be honest, I'm finding it hard to work out which part of your message is the script and which isn't.

Just what's in the brackets? Or do I type everything from API onwards for each line?

Thanks for trying to help, much appreciated.

OK, so firstly from what I can see in the manual about scripting:

vMix Manual on scripting.png (40kb) downloaded 0 time(s).

To someone not into scripting, this is not a great help.

I was originally trying to do what I wanted to do from this window in what I thought would be a logical way:

vMix Add shortcut.png (22kb) downloaded 0 time(s).

I even tried one line of your script in the 'Value Bus' section but still nothing.

The area in the above image entitled 'Value Bus' would suggest to me that that is where I add what busses I would like to apply the shortcut to.

So, I then tried adding your script to the scripting section and linking it like you said and still nothing, and even if it did work, it's a long winded way.

I'll admit that I have no idea about scripting but vMix's implementation on trying to achieve something quite simple is a dogs breakfast!

What a mess!

Why can't I just achieve what I need to achieve from the Shorcuts area?

Hi Tone13,

That because when creating shortcuts in vmix only the last value counts per action. You need to add multiple actions per key press, not multiple values per action.
I hope that makes sense.

I really think you should take a look at bitfocus companion especially the beta build (2.0.0.0) as it will let you do exactly what you want without any scripting. I practically never use the streamdeck's default software as companion is a million times more functional in broadcast world.
I can not recommend it enough!

The other thing you can do is to setup multiple shortcuts driven by the same button. Simply take your working shortcut, clone, and then edit. Change the value from A to B etc.
