How to use Mimicore in OBS Studio

OBS records the changed voice from the virtual microphone. Mimicore's live delay depends on your PC and, for trained voices, on the Latency and quality slider, so you will also line up the sound with your picture.

Get it from Microsoft Store

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. A graphics card is recommended for live AI voices. See the system requirements.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Set up the virtual microphone once

    In Mimicore, open Live. If it says no virtual microphone is installed, press Set up virtual mic and follow the prompts. Windows asks for permission; click Yes. If Windows asks for a restart, restart and open Mimicore again.

  2. 2

    Add the audio source in OBS

    In OBS, in the Sources panel press the plus button and choose Audio Input Capture. Name it Mimicore voice.

  3. 3

    Choose CABLE Output as the device

    In the source's properties pick CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable) as the device and press OK.

  4. 4

    Mute your normal microphone

    In OBS's Audio Mixer mute your usual microphone source, otherwise viewers hear your own voice next to the changed one.

  5. 5

    Pick a voice and press Start

    On the Live page choose one of your voices (or one of the free effects) and press the big Start button. The Live pill turns on and an estimated delay shows. The delay depends on your PC and, for trained voices, on the Latency and quality slider: keep it toward the left for calls and games, because every step to the right adds delay you will hear.

  6. 6

    Line the voice up with the picture

    In the Audio Mixer press the gear on Mimicore voice, open Advanced Audio Properties and use Sync Offset to delay your video's other audio, or delay your webcam with a Render Delay filter. Record a short clip, watch your lips, and adjust until they match.

Tips

  • Wear headphones. If your speakers are on, your microphone can hear them and the changed voice will echo back.
  • Do a test recording before going live and watch the audio levels: speech should sit in the green and yellow area, not the red.
  • Effects have almost no delay, so they usually need no sync adjustment.

Questions

Why is my voice behind my lips?

An AI voice always arrives a little after your lips; the amount depends on your PC and the slider position on the Live page (further right adds more). Record a short test, then use OBS's Sync Offset or a Render Delay filter on the webcam to match them.

Can I also use the soundboard on stream?

Yes. The Soundboard page plays into the virtual microphone, so OBS records it with your voice, and each tile can have a hotkey that works while you are in a game.

Can I record voice and game sound separately?

Yes. Keep Mimicore voice on its own OBS audio track so you can edit it later.
