What are the system requirements for LiveCUT?

LiveCUT requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and vMix version 24 or higher installed. It's also recommended to have a sufficiently powerful processor for delay-free audio analysis.

Switching happens too frequently/rarely. What can I do?

Adjust the "Sound Threshold" (dB) values for each microphone and the timing parameters (Pre-Attack, Attack, Pre-Release, Release, Min/Max Time) in LiveCUT settings. Experiment to find the optimal values for your studio and podcast style.

Can I use LiveCUT with one microphone?

The current version is designed to work with two microphones for switching between two speakers and a wide shot. Working with a single microphone is not officially supported and may result in incorrect switching.

What should I do if I switch a camera manually in vMix while LiveCUT is in "AUTO" mode?

LiveCUT will automatically detect manual intervention and switch to "MANUAL" mode to avoid interfering. To re-enable automatic mode, click the "AUTO" button in the LiveCUT interface.
