Anyone use this togehter? 
I followed the video on the site for Reaper, but can't get it to work...

I use a Motu Ultralite MK3 Hybrid audio interface on Windows 10 64 bit. Sonar Platinum.
I tried both VB Audio Cable and the HI-FI Version as well tried to use VoiceMeeter mixer..
 
Any ideas?
 
Thank!

I cannot comment on the Virtual Cable (yet) but if you downloaded and installed Voicemeeter...
 
1) Set Voicemeeter as default audio device in your Windows Control Panel Sounds
 
2) Go to Sonar "Edit > Preferences > Audio - Devices" and DESELECT your current interface ins/outs and select all the Voicemeeter ins/outs
 
3) In Sonar, set up an audio track and from the input options list select "Stereo VM - VAIO 7/8" (or something like that)
 
3a) Click the "Composite" button on the Virtual Output bus in Voicemeeter (output bus "B") which will provide a prefader tap of the virtual input bus
 
4) Arm the track and press playback on your youtube vid. It should be playing back in the Voicemeeter Virtual Input section (and the VM meters lighting up) AND you should be getting signal in the stereo track.
 
If all that is happening then all you have to do is start recording.
 
 
Cheers.

"3) In Sonar, set up an audio track and from the input options list select "Stereo VM - VAIO 7/8" "
 
And that 7/8 is important because 7/8 are the "invisible" prefader taps to the virtual input.
 
And I forgot to mention you NEED to click the Composite button on the Voicemeeter Virtual Output bus (which is output bus B).
 
I will edit my OP to say that... otherwise you cannot get signal from those virtual channels.
 
You CAN however get input from VM VAIO 1/2 but that is the entire output from Voicemeeter which may not be desirable if you have an active mic or something going on.
 
 

Thanks Beepster. Will check this out...
 
Follow up question. Is really Voicemeeter necessary for only recording streaming audio from Youtube for example? In the video in the VB site he doesn't seem to do so in Reaper. Only when you are recording video with your own voice?

I THINK if you don't mind switching out of ASIO mode in Sonar and using something like WDM instead then you can get away with it.
 
Not sure because I haven't played with that BUT AFAIK if you wanted to do that straight recording into Sonar (which Sonar is in ASIO mode using your ASIO interface) then you need Voicemeeter (or something similar like those Virt cables).
 
/still learning

Oh and make sure if you are gonna do that you have Sonar Prefs set to "share driver with other programs" selected (or whatever that function is called... it's a checkbox in the Audio sub preferences)
 
Cheers.

Use pedalboard2 it's more flexible and if you wanna just record from youtube you don't need any external software,you can do right on PB2 with it's own plugins.
 
Download PB2 from here : http://www.niallmoody.com/apps/pedalboard2
 

I use Audacity to rip streaming audio from Youtube, Media Player, et al.
Simple and FREE.

Hey John, I have seen you post this before, and last time I saw it I tried it out without success. I typically use onboard audio for Windows functions, but trying to record this way created a "sample rate mismatch" error even though Audacity and the soundcard were set to identical rates. Is there a specific trick to this?

I, too, use Audacity for this purpose. I don't recall doing anything special to make it work, just bring up Audacity and hit Record. The trick might be in the preferences: I'm using WASAPI, which unlike ASIO supports multiple streams.
