That way we could use shortcut keys to increase or decrease input volume. Specifically thinking Companion/StreamDeck buttons using dynamic variables to select an input to adjust. Something like AdjustVolume&Value=2&Input=Dynamic1 For example would increase volume in 2db increments each button press. Or AdjustVolume&Value=-5&Input=Dynamic1 Would decrease volume 5db each button press. Would be nice to have this for GAIN as well. If this exists I'm happy to listen but seems a logical request. Please give it your +1! Greg

Greg Does function Setvolume, Input:Dynamic1 or number , Value: +=5 and -=5 or so not work ? (unless i misunderstand the request)

(unless i misunderstand the request) Unless I am doing something wrong, it does not work for me. It appears that SetVolume, Input: Dynamic1, +=5 works inside VMIX Shortcuts, but on a companion button it does not seem to work (using the API). Example: This does not work: SetVolume Value+=5&Input=DynamicInput1 This does: SetVolume Value=5&Input=DynamicInput1

Thanks Guy! greg in scripting Code: API.Function("SetVolume",Input:="3",Value:="-=5") API.Function("SetVolume",Input:="3",Value:="+=5") Web Code: Function=SetVolume&Input=3&Value=%2D%3D5 Function=SetVolume&Input=3&Value=%2B%3D5 We rarely use a shortcut on the streamdeck with vMix . Find it more flexible to use the website button and do a httprequest . (not stuck to one pc/streamdeck combination setup) http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=SetVolume&Input=3&Value=%2D%3D5 http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=SetVolume&Input=3&Value=%2B%3D5 (or paste directly in Browser) %2B is Plus sign %2D is minus sign %3D is the equals sign

("Set" to set a value, Adjust to adjust the current value by the provided delta.

There are definitely some workarounds here, but I think the workarounds underscore the need for a few basic API calls like AdjustVolume and AdjustGain. You are the master of vMix scripting no doubt! Please give my request your +1. greg

Please give my request your +1. greg +1 But let us embrace the fact that vMix allows one to make workarounds until requests are granted or for specific custom personal usages.
