How to use Mimicore in Discord

Discord treats Mimicore like any other microphone. Five steps, about five minutes the first time.

Get it from Microsoft Store

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. A graphics card is recommended for live AI voices. See the system requirements.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Set up the virtual microphone once

    In Mimicore, open Live. If it says no virtual microphone is installed, press Set up virtual mic and follow the prompts. Windows asks for permission; click Yes. If Windows asks for a restart, restart and open Mimicore again.

  2. 2

    Open Discord's voice settings

    In Discord, open User Settings, then Voice & Video.

  3. 3

    Choose CABLE Output as the input device

    Under Input Device pick CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable). That is where Mimicore sends your changed voice.

  4. 4

    Turn off Discord's own voice processing

    Switch off Noise Suppression and Echo Cancellation, and set Automatic Input Sensitivity as you like. They are made for natural voices and can make a changed voice sound thin or cut out.

  5. 5

    Pick a voice and press Start

    On the Live page choose one of your voices (or one of the free effects) and press the big Start button. The Live pill turns on and an estimated delay shows. The delay depends on your PC and, for trained voices, on the Latency and quality slider: keep it toward the left for calls and games, because every step to the right adds delay you will hear.

  6. 6

    Check it with the mic test

    Back in Discord's Voice & Video page, use Let's Check: speak and the bar should move. Then join a channel and ask a friend how you sound.

Tips

  • Wear headphones. If your speakers are on, your microphone can hear them and the changed voice will echo back.
  • Use Mute in Mimicore, or a hotkey from Settings, to cut your voice quickly. Push-to-talk keys work inside games.
  • If the voice cuts out, lower Discord's input sensitivity instead of using automatic sensitivity.

Questions

Will Discord ban me for using a voice changer?

Discord receives audio from a microphone device, exactly as with a headset, and Mimicore does not modify Discord. Follow Discord's rules on impersonation and harassment, and only clone voices you have permission to use.

Why can nobody hear me?

Check that Discord's Input Device is CABLE Output, that Mimicore shows Live, and that Mimicore's Output on the Live page is CABLE Input.

Can I hear myself?

Yes. Turn on Hear myself on the Live page and use headphones.
