Words used in these guides
Discord and Windows do not use studio jargon. These are the terms this site actually repeats.
Virtual microphone
A recording device created by Voicemod Pro. Chat apps select it instead of the headset. Installing the app is not enough — the app must pick that device.
Formant vs pitch
Pitch slides notes up or down. Formant changes the apparent vocal tract. Female/male masks need both, not pitch alone.
Buffer
How much audio Pro holds before sending it out. Small buffer = less delay, more crackle on a weak PC.
FAQ
Is the virtual mic a second headset?
No. It is a software device. Your hardware still captures; Pro outputs a new recording endpoint.
What is a suppressor?
Noise removal. Run it in Pro or in Discord, not both.
