Audio Routing (Windows)

Basics

  • Open MiniMeters and click Settings from the bottom right.
  • Under the Audio Device panel and choose "Default Output Capture" from the Audio Device section.
  • Default Output Capture attempts to capture all of the audio coming out of the primary output selected from Windows.* If the application you are trying to capture is using a different device it will not be captured.

Limitations

Incompatibility with ASIO Exclusive Mode:

ASIO provides many benefits when used with a DAW. It bypasses Windows’s audio system and connects directly to your audio interface. In some circumstances it can reduce latency and prevent other applications from affecting the audio prior to it reaching your speakers.

Due to the nature of ASIO when used in Exclusive Mode, MiniMeters will no longer be able to capture your device’s audio.

MiniMeters includes MiniMetersServer VST3 / CLAP Plug-In which can be used to send audio from your DAW / Plug-In Host directly into MiniMeters.
