Having the ability to record system audio and microphone input simultaneously while using live voice
effects is one of the most impressive capabilities of iTop Voicy. Whether you are doing a live stream,
recording a game, podcasting, or doing a voiceover, merging the different audio sources gives you a final
product that is clear, balanced, and of studio quality. This manual is going to take you through the
complete procedure step-by-step, detailing how to set up your devices, mix audio streams, use real-time
effects, and record your audio with no quality loss. This free voice changer can make your computer an
audio production workstation with the right setup and a few quick tweaks.
What You Need Before Getting Started
Before starting, ensure that you have:
- A PC that runs on Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- A good quality microphone, such as either USB or XLR, through an interface, should be used so
that the voice input is clear. - Enough system resources available, as voice real-time processing can be demanding.
- iTop Voicy is installed, and microphone permissions are granted.
- Your audio devices are connected properly.
Once everything is set, the tutorial below should be followed to allow both audio capture and live voice
effects to be used simultaneously.
Step 1: Configure Your Audio Devices
For audio configuration, first open iTop Voicy and go to Settings > Audio.
Now, to continue, please do the following:
- Select Your Microphone
Choose the appropriate input device from the list and make sure to streamline the microphone selection
to the one you wish to use. - Enable System Audio Capture
Select Stereo Mix to capture the output audio from your computer. If you don’t see Stereo Mix, you can
enable it with the classic Windows Sound Control Panel, or you can use virtual audio software like VB-
Audio Cable. - Choose Your Output Device
Select the audio output you want to use (speakers or headphones). You can use this setup to hear the
system audio and your modified voice simultaneously. This configuration will allow iTop Voicy to capture
both your microphone and the system audio at the same time.
Step 2: Mix Mic and System Audio
Following the setup of the devices, choose how you wish iTop Voicy to manage the two audio streams:
Option A — Combined Audio Files (Mic + System in One File)
- Excellent for fast processing or when only one clean audio file is required.
- Most suitable for novice users, gamers, and vloggers.
Option B — Individual Audio Files (Mic and System on Different Channels) - It is ideal for finer editing to be done via advanced editing software.
- Best for production teams, streamers, and podcasters.
Make a selection based on what you need. While merged audio files are easier and faster, separate
recording provides more advanced editing tools.
Step 3: Apply Real-Time Voice Effects
iTop Voicy has been designed to deliver real-time modifications to voices while experiencing a seamless
and smooth experience; here’s how to use the product:
- Voice Preset Selection
Select between 100+ pre-packaged voice styles in this voice changer, or visit the Voice Lab to build a
custom voice style. - Sound Fine-Tuning
Modify and shape the sound of your voice through pitch, timbre, formant, and/or clarity. - Applying Voicing Effects
You can match editing style recordings by adding effects through reverberation, voice, radio static, etc. - Assign Hotkeys to Voice Effects
Without stopping a recording, voice effects can be instant seamless transitions by utilizing the Voice
effect Hotkeys with the same key.
This feature keeps dynamic throughout streams, role reenactment videos, or live-assisted
commentaries.
Step 4: Enhance Your Recording with Background Sound
You can also add background audio to your recordings for an extra layer of richness. You can add
background audio from the following categories:
- Noise from the environment
- Background audio from a studio
- Background audio from a game
- Music beds
- Effects from the environment
This allows for a greater audio depth without the need for editing software.
Step 5: Record, Edit, and Export Your Session
Once everything is set:
- Click Record in iTop Voicy.
- Gamma views your mic, system audio, as well as live-modified voice levels.
- Edit bits using the built-in editor or revoice overall.
- Export as you want, WAV is best to use when using professional-grade, or MP3 when it is
light.
iTop Voicy will enable you to have high bitrate and sample rate choices to ensure high-quality output
compatible with podcasts, narrative speaking, and game videos, among others.
Step 6: Streaming and Meeting Apps Integration.
Your modified voice and mixed audio can be used in other applications:
- Change the set iTop Voicy to the input device in OBS, Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, or another
platform. - In case of a virtual cable being used, redirect Voicy to the virtual cable.
- OTBS test or test streaming scene to have a good balance between game audio, background
sound, and voice effects.
This ensures that your listeners hear both your voice, which has been transformed to live, and the
sounds of the systems at once.
Safety & Ethical Use
Whereas voice changing is entertaining and inventive, it should be used carefully all the time:
- Do not act like real people.
- Respect the rules and copyrights of content on the platform.
- Use personal voices in an ethical way and not in a misleading manner.
Conclusion
It is simple and incredibly effective to record system audio and microphone as well as add real-time
voice effects to the inputs using iTop Voicy. When you have your devices set up, when you have your
mixing mode in use, and when you have your effects dialed in, then you are capable of making clean and
professional as well as expressive sound to any type of material you need to make. Be it streaming,
video dubbing, podcast recording, or character-based entertainment, this tool will provide all the
creative freedom and all of the flexibility of a studio.
