Does anyone have a recommendation for a device that would let me split my mic input and another audio source into one source together
someone here recommended me one a week ago but alas I am blonde so I lost it

Are you a musician, or wanting to do karaoke maybe?
Is this a casual or serious inquiry? What's your budget, if you are serious? I ask these questions because no one helped me in the beginning as well; some 30 years ago. I can point you in the correct direction and save you a lot of heart ache.

I just use a HDMI Audio box, allows multiple input streams

So I'm trying to get something of a singing hobby fired up and I'd like to use this for karaoke as well. A program and hardware that would let me play music and sing over it where the listeners, on discord for example, only need to listen to my microphone as a single source.
I have an electric but it's a cello so I really am not sure if I will sing with it but having the option to plug that in and jam with it as well would be cool too

oh really? is it easy to use? do you have a link to the one you like? and does it come with software?

Wait, so are you trying to fuse your voice with a backtrack into one source or the opposite?

Yep. Pretty easy to use and it comes with the stuff you would need.

Sweet. Would just anyone off of Amazon work?

Can't you just screenshare a video playing the backtrack while singing?

Yeah but I want a way that doesn’t rely on that

hmm, well I don't know a way of doing it without latency if you don't have external hardware, I've tried and it's basically impossible to get good latency while also sending the audio to discord

that's why I'm asking about external hardware with this post!

I think a special kind of audio interface works for that but I'm not sure

you need xlr inputs for mics, instrument inputs for instrument cables and you need assignable loopbacks to route a browser or an audio player to discord.
this has everything I listed and then some

yeah i have one of those^
if you dont want to buy anything, voicemeeter will work just fine
many other audio interfaces will also have this ability, the feature you want to look for is "loopback"

not every interface has "assignable" loopbacks. for example the SSL2+ just sends the whole thing so you'll make people hear themselves over discord which is NOT VERY NICE

I just feed in audio direct back into system- like i play a youtube song and use my mic to pick that up and i put a little distance between myself and the mic to drag my level down a bit and presto, altho I do do this so i kind of get some reverb and chorus........
Altho when i am recording properly I am usually holding the mic up to my face.......

may be bad for liveplay but i find it works fine for singing tbh

yes, good point

@latent gale I ended up getting a better deal on a scarlett 2i2
can you tell me which software you use with your interface and how I can replicate it?
latent gale
you're gonna need asiolink pro and a daw
sonic blade
You could just roll with control panel tho, but that is how I would do it, I even have a copy of FLStudio but don't know how well its live functionality goes..... Guess its time to watch some youtube.......

figure asiolink, you gotta make a track for a browser coming in, then you can catch that whole mix with discord

ohh so u just play the mp3 then sing over the backing?
and u can use asiolink as the input device?
latent gale

you can configure asiolink to have a browser output into studio one (which you can drop fx into too)
it will act as a driver for your interface but it has the ability to make virtual inputs and outputs
rremember to set your buffer size to 64 samples to get zero latency
and have all your devices set to 48khz
or whatever sample rate you choose
just make sure everything is set to the same
because it can introduce some glitching when it has an offset
