AIM OF THIS TUTORIAL : having all audio sources (music,voice chat, game..) separated into OBS Mixer and gain complete control of your audio system. Introduction take directly from their site: Voicemeeter Potato is the ultimate version of our Audio Mixer Application endowed with Virtual Audio Device to mix and manage any audio sources from or to any audio devices or applications.
