knobs 1.2.0

knobs runs the mic filter chain you tuned in OBS Studio and sends it to a virtual cable, so your other apps get the same processed mic while OBS stays closed.

What’s new in 1.2.0

• The installer installs VB-CABLE in the background: there’s no VB-Audio window to click through and no restart message. Windows asks you to let it install its driver.
• In the setup window’s walkthroughs, the step being shown sits on a highlighted row, and you can click a step to jump to it. While a walkthrough is paused, a click shows the moment that matters in that step, and Play starts the step from its beginning.
• The setup’s last page says in its heading which device to choose as your mic in your other apps, such as CABLE Output.
• When VB-CABLE’s devices are ready without a restart, the setup says you don’t need to restart Windows.
• Small fixes and polish.

Download

• knobs-1.2.0-setup.exe: the installer. It installs for your Windows account only and needs no admin rights. With no virtual cable on your PC, it offers to install VB-CABLE, VB-Audio’s donationware cable from www.vb-cable.com.
• knobs-1.2.0-portable.zip: the portable zip. Unzip it anywhere: it keeps its settings and its data in its own folder.

You need 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1803 or later) or 11, OBS Studio 32.2 to 33.x with your mic set up in it, and a virtual cable such as VB-CABLE. The setup guide has the steps.

knobs 1.1.0

knobs runs the mic filter chain you tuned in OBS Studio and sends it to a virtual cable, so your other apps get the same processed mic while OBS stays closed.

What’s new in 1.1.0

• knobs keeps running while OBS is open, so you can stream or record through OBS and talk in your other apps with the same filters. If OBS’s Audio Monitoring also plays your mic into knobs’s cable, knobs pauses while OBS is open instead, so the cable doesn’t get your mic twice, and tells you so once. Pause while OBS is open in the tray menu shows what knobs does, and a click changes it. If you turned it off in 1.0.0, it stays off.
• The setup window’s walkthroughs play and pause with the knobs brand’s own icons.
• The setup window recommends starting with Windows and checking for new versions.
• Small fixes and polish.

knobs 1.0.0

knobs runs the mic filter chain you tuned in OBS Studio and sends it to a virtual cable, so your other apps get the same processed mic while OBS stays closed.

What’s new in 1.0.0

• knobs runs VST filters: the VST 2 plugins in your OBS mic chain, through OBS’s own VST support, with the same output as OBS. It never opens a plugin’s window.
• knobs runs NVIDIA’s noise removal (NVIDIA Audio Effects) through OBS’s own NVIDIA filters, with NVIDIA’s Audio Effects SDK and an NVIDIA RTX GPU, as in OBS.
• Installers can update your VST plugins and NVIDIA’s SDK while knobs runs: knobs pauses for them, and restarts by itself when it has to.
• An installer that uses Windows’ Restart Manager can close knobs and open it again after the update.
• knobs tells you when a filter in your chain passes audio through untouched, such as a plugin that’s missing, and when an installer is waiting for it.
• A new look: the setup window, the icons and the installer’s images come from the knobs brand, and the tray icon follows your taskbar’s light or dark mode.
• Plainer words in the setup window, the menu, the notifications and the installer.
• Small fixes and polish.
