Hello all, this one is a little different than what I've been reading on here.
The end goal is to broadcast video and audio onto the internet, we have a dedicated computer for the broad casting, and we have the video portion working, and the actual broad casting of the audio... the audio works as well, but we're trying to figure out how to "mix" the audio.
We have a source computer where all the content is generated and what we want is to be able to adjust what goes where.
So we have 2 USB microphones, standard computer speakers using the 1/8" jack, and wireless headset that used either optical(preferred) or 1/8". Then we have all the computer generated sounds such as a music playing software, other content software generating live sounds, voice communication software (similar to Skype calls), etc. So what we want is to be able to cue and adjust levels of the different sources and shove them out the "main" to the broadcasting computer. While still being able to monitor through the headset and/or speakers different sources (they have their own volume controls so levels aren't as much of an issue).. like send the music to the speakers and the communication based stuff to the headset.
We've tried "Virtual Audio Cable" and it works.. most of the time, it's quite finicky. And we'd like a more user friendly interface. Currently, we're only using the stock sound card that comes on the ASUS motherboard in the generating computer. There is no space physically in the rig for a PCIe based sound or interface card, so if we required extra hardware we'd need it to be USB (preferably 3.0, but 2.0 will be fine)
We were looking at a behringer xenyx 1204USB (and variants), but since the mics are USB and all the other audio sources are software based I can't for the life of me figure out how it would help at all.. other than look cool on the desk.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
