Using Music and Sound Effect in Your RPG Virtual Tabletop Sessions It is a bonus that they have now nicely integrated video chat as well. I hear lots of great things about other voice chat options such as Team Speak, Mumble, and Overtone, but I am going to stick with Discord. I use Discord because it is an easy product to understand, has a great support community, and gives me easy access to other Dungeons and Dragons and RPG Virtual Tabletop communities on their servers. The final part of this setup is Discord itself. The “Potato” has 8 inputs and 8 outputs which gives you an incredible amount of flexibility in your setup.
It is an incredible little audio mixer and one that I have enjoyed using. My current product of choice is the Voicemeeter Potato Ultimate Mixer. The most important part of my music and sound effects setup is the use of an audio mixer application. These virtual audio cables allow you to use up to 256 cables which makes it very easy to configure different applications to use a different virtual audio cable. The Muxychenko Virtual Audio Cables are pretty much the grandfather of all virtual audio cables, so the technology is very solid. I have been using the Voicemeeter VB-Cables for some time, but I have recently added in the Muzychenko Virtual Audio Cables. To get the various sources that I use routed to the correct inputs on the audio mixer requires the use of virtual audio cables.

It is great having the audio from my local PC on a separate channel as it allows me to mute it during our sessions so that no unexpected computer-related sounds play.
Virtual Channel 2 > Audio for my Local PC. Yes, this is a luxury, but I had the PCs available. One for recording/streaming, and the other for my session notes and reference material. In addition to my main PC, I run two additional PCs. Virtual Channel 1 > Audio for my auxiliary PCs. It is very nice having this on a separate channel as it allows me to easily turn the player’s voice chat up or down. This is the voice chat coming from my players during our session. I also use this channel for Jingle Pallete when I need it. I run the iPad primarily to access my iTunes music library as iTunes is a big resource drain on my PC. Channel 4 > I use this channel for a line-in from my iPad. Channel 3 > Chrome browser where I have Tabletop Audio, Ambient Mixer, YouTube, and Spotify loaded on various tabs depending on my music and sound effect requirements for the session. The first is the Fantasy Grounds Syrinscape Sound Links extension, and the second is the Fantasy Grounds Syrinscape Sound Chat Triggers. There are two new updated options available from the DMs Guild which I plan to switch to in the coming months as they make things much easier than the DOE: Sound Extension. This extension is no longer available which is a shame. This channel of Syrinscape is triggered from inside of Fantasy Grounds using the Dulux-OZ DOE: Sound Extension. The quality and variety of music and sound effects make it worth every copper piece. I will begin by saying that I LOVE this application. My brother just purchased a Blue Snowball, and it sounds great. I would suggest looking at Blue’s lineup including the Blue Yeti, and Blue Snowball. There are lots of great USB microphones available these days. It is a great microphone, but I use it now more out of nostalgia than anything else. I am currently using an old Samson CO1U USB microphone that I have been using for over ten years. Here is some additional detail on the various components: My Sources Output Channel on Discord → Virtual Audio Cable → Input Channel on Audio Mixer Application → Output Channel on Audio Mixer Application → Headphones Source → Virtual Audio Cable → Input Channel on Audio Mixer Application → Output Channel on Audio Mixer Application → Virtual Audio Cable → Input Channel on Discord. The signal chain for my current Discord setup is as follows: So, without further ado, here the current setup that I run on my PC. This will be more for curiosity than necessity, but I am a “give-it-try” kind of person when it comes to new technology. I have read lots of great reviews on their use, so I do plan to try them at some point. Now I am a bit of an old school guy when it comes to audio, so I haven’t yet gotten into the use of Discord Bots for music and sound effects. I am happy with the results, and more importantly, my group is happy with the results as well. #HOW TO USE VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE REDDIT HOW TO#
This week, I am going to discuss how to play music and sound effects on Discord along with your regular voice chat.Īs you can probably guess, I use Discord as my voice chat of choice for my RPG virtual tabletop sessions. In last week’s article, I discussed how you can add music and sound effects to your RPG virtual tabletop sessions.
