I would like to see the ability to configure both the input and the output audio inside of vMixCall. The ability to have the vMixCall audio output go directly to a soundcard and have the audio input to vMixCall be an aux send from a hardware mixer. This feature would allow users with an advanced audio mixing setup to take full advantage of vMixCall.

If you don't already use Bus A and B. I already use them so having the direct audio out is necessary.

Maybe the answer here is to ask for more audio busses?

Spot on! Anyone that has an advanced mixing setup with mix-minus already setup this vMixCall feature won't work.

Would love to see audio bit rate options as per video. Maybe 128k, 192k, and 384k.

Think what they are talking about is the same iisue I am having with vMix Call.

Hi,

This thread was pointed out on Facebook, so I thought I would clarify how you can manually route audio using vMix and vMix Call.

vMix and Audio Busses
vMix provides 4 audio busses in total: Master, Headphones, A and B and these can be routed out of audio interfaces
using Settings -> Audio Outputs.

These work exactly like AUX busses in audio mixers so users should feel right at home setting these up if they are used to external audio mixer routing.

Routing vMix Call Input and Output to Audio Busses

Audio To Guest: Select the audio bus to send the guest when adding the vMix Call input using the Audio Source dropdown box:

Audio From Guest: Find the added vMix Call input in the vMix audio mixer and configure it to send to only Master, Headphones, A or B as needed.

Single caller example

For a single caller setup would be as follows:

1. In Settings -> Audio Outputs, assign a spare audio interface channel to A
2. Add the mix minus audio from the interface into vMix and use the vMix Audio Mixer to assign it to B
3. Add the vMix Call input and set Audio Source to B
4. From the vMix Audio mixer set the Call input to A

Two caller per PC example

If you have a dedicated PC just for remote guests, you could configure vMix to replace two Skype or Zoom instances as follows:

Call 1
Audio From Guest: Route to Bus A
Audio To Guest: Set to Master (add audio input, and set to M in audio mixer)

Call 2
Audio From Guest: Route to Bus B
Audio To Guest: Set to Headphones (add audio input, untick M and enable S (solo) in Audio Mixer)

It is important to note that everything vMix Call does routes through the audio mixer by design, this is how automatic mix minus is possible
for producers using vMix for the entire production which makes things incredibly simple if users are prepared to take the leap!

This is the reason why you can't directly select sound cards for inputs and outputs of a call input, but you can achieve similar results
by taking advantage of the busses as described above.

Hope this helps.

Martin
