I've used physical mixers in the past, but the level of control and customization that VoiceMeeter allows for is very impressive. After using VoiceMeeter Banana for several years on my radio shows, I've recently started using VoiceMeeter Potato, which is even more advances and adjustable. Highly recommended for both beginners who don't want to spend their hard earned money on a physical mixer and for pro users.
