VB-Audio has updated its Voicemeeter Standard, Banana and Potato virtual audio mixers for Windows to versions 1.0.8.8, 2.0.6.8 and 3.0.2.8 respectively, bringing improvements and new features – especially on Potato, which now provides complete Striptool and a multi-band compressor.

Each Potato Hardware input now offers a six-band parametric EQ, a compressor/gate with all parameters available and a high-quality denoiser. All of these new effects complement the Intellipan Color, Position and Modulation panel and the Limiter also present on every strip. A new strip menu allows copy/pasting of settings between strips and load/saving of the settings of a particular strip on disc – and to share it with another user

These new versions also fix latest reported issues and bring a better global reliability, especially with the Virtual ASIO Drivers, which have been fully re-engineered to support Timing Callback instabilities. The Virtual ASIO insert is better implemented on Voicemeeter’s GUI to show a small icon at top left of each input strip to let the user activate Virtual Insert Return directly on the main view instead of going to the System Settings.

Voicemeeter Potato 3.0.2.8 also offers a new internal Fx called C5 (instead of the delay) and a five-band compressor/limiter. Coming from the original VB-Audio C10-limiter, the C5 was been originally developed in 2006 for the Live Mixing Console as a C4 version (with four bands only).

‘This is funny to see this C5 finally start its life 15 years later in Voicemeeter potato,’ says VB-Audio’s Vincent Burel. ‘The C5 is a unique multiband compressor using a FIR filter (linear phase filtering) and offering high-quality multi-band compression.’

Voicemeeter Standard and Voicemeeter Banana are distributed as simple donationware, with Voicemeeter Potato is distributed as donationware with an activation code.
