Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This simple yet powerful utility behaves like a real audio cable, letting you transfer sound among applications. You can, for example, record sound from a game or from streaming Internet audio, or process the sound from one audio editor to another. The program gives you 64 virtual cables into which you can plug any application, mixing and distributing sound. (However, we should note the demo only will let you access two of them.) It even lets you make chains, connecting a whole series of software synthesizers, sound editors, sequencers, and recorders. To monitor the signal in your virtual cables, the program includes a control panel that displays the sample rate, channels, and number of connected applications. Perfectly designed for professionals, Virtual Audio Cable would be more useful for novices if it had a visual interface showing connected devices.Publisher's description
From Eugene Muzychenko :VAC is intended to connect several audio applications in real time. It's like a sound card with hardwired input and output: When an application sends an audio stream to a virtual cable, other applications can record this stream from the other cable end. Thus, you can record and process output of almost any audio application by almost any other audio application. VAC operates like Total Recorder but is more universal. Use it to create a chain of software synthesizers (Generator, Reality), audio processors, recorders (WaveLab, Sound Forge), and sequencers (Cakewalk, Cubase). With Win 95/98/Me, DirectSound is supported.
Version 3.06 adds a number of input/output clients display to the Control Panel and fixes bugs.

Version: Virtual Audio Cable 3.06
"Not that useful, not easy to use"
Summary: I have a professional audio card that i use with cubase. I wanted the wave out from the card to be routed to the wave in. this application sounded like it was ment for this but is actually much less useful. You must use the slow drivers to be compat... read more >>

Version: Virtual Audio Cable 3.06
"What's wrong with you people?"
Pros: This programs is almost completely automated- You only have to select an input and output for each VAC. Use the Audio Repeater to do this. All other programs will then use this new feature. The best part is you can create a VAC to VAC out and another to VAC in, which makes your microphone your speaker and vice versa. Do the opposite to change back.
Cons: Once a VAC is made, I don't see how to delete it. One must make a reverse VAC, which is fairly simple. When the program closes, changes made stick, they are not discarded (I think until you restart the computer, I'll have to check on that)
